Magnar Slave Units - no heads?

April 26, 2013 5:20:55 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Anyone else got this problem? If I design a slave unit as Magnar, they have no heads. I just want to know if it has something to do with my graphics settings or if it is a general problem.

The developers must have stolen the idea from the Headless Monks that were in Dr. Who...

I remember that custom units and sovereigns had this problem during the original FE Beta.  weird that it's popped up again.  Usually, exiting and restarting the game did the trick for me.  I haven't seen this in .85 yet myself.

If this is the course Stardock has chosen to go down... I must say that it is the wrong way to be headed.

Okay I looked through the files and saw that the head on the generic slave has been set to

K_Male_Head_03

But under the CoreClothes the model K_Male_Head_03 does not support the SlaveMale unit type. That is actually the scion head instead.

P.S. That fixed it

Here is a fix for those that need to have custom designed SlaveMen drop this .xml file into your items folder in the documents end.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75549875/Fallen%20Enchantress/Abilities/SlaveHeadlessMaleFix.zip

<SupportedUnitModelType>SlaveMale</SupportedUnitModelType>

to the K_Male_Head_03 item type art def.

Thanks for your investigation. However, the fix did not work for me - I did drop the xml in the "documents/my games/Legendary Heroes/items" folder.

Still doesn't work for me, am I doing something wrong? I just put the file in the items directory.

What? Where did you install it? All I did was put it into the Documents/My Games/LegendaryHeroes/Items folder and it doesn't work at all for me.

Did you start a new game?

Edit: Yeah it works for me too now, but only for new games, sadface.

All save games retain the old xml data, and so any of these fixes, it will be for only new games.
