I'm tryng to work with Hex Editor Neo ver4.64
The offset 654B2C for peasant is 28422c in this program?
The 6a2f code for peasant is e8cf in this program?
A tutorial for this program should help.

Thank's a lot...so...654b2c-400000=254b2c
Not six zeroes
I've replaced succesfully tax payer with life ward(49 with 22)
...but i have still many questions
1. how can i edit the description of creatures(the peasant has life ward...in description write about taxpayer)
2. what's the difference beetween the code 654b26 and the offset 654B2C
of the peasant?where does the code helps?
3. how can i make the insertion code for other optional abilities?
4. i've tried to replace the stunning of squaires with mirth...but in the game the spell book doesn't appear
I just love this game

you must edit text.h4r, using H4editor (http://heroes.ag.ru/files/zip/H4unpacker.zip) and then repack the file, but it's quite diffiult to use that tool

654b26 is used for their abilities
I don't know what is 654B2C(yet)
Quote:
3. how can i make the insertion code for other optional abilities?
use the tutorial with peasant's abilities (though it didn't help me...

you must add animation for their spellcast and add them some spells, by editing creatures spellbooks. though there is someting (umm...) unusual about that part of code (see my previous message)

I've unpacked the file H4\Data\text.h4r
Now i have some files with extension .table and .strings
I made a modification on Berserkers text...now...how to repack?

I asked that because on the first page of this topic is listed
the "Level 1 and Level 2 Creatures offsets"
The offset for peasant is 654B2C...654b26 is listed wrong in the table
On the 5th page the offset for Frenzied Gnasher is wrong
Hope that is the only one wrong...except peasant

You can't find .AB11F0 in Hiew because is used for spells....I said is more complicated to add new spells....Anyway, I've uploaded a pic with angel using spell book.
Here isn't an example of code I used to add 3 spells to Angel:
mov b,[00AB1216],002 ; means nature ward
mov b,[00AB1217],009 ; means power drain and quicksand
retn
what do you mean "is used for spells"?
and where do i need to put that code?

1. Don't matter what method...how can i edit the ability text for a creature.Don't matter how hard it is...help me
A tool...some steps to follow...if you tell me how it's not hard
If i have the hiew32.exe full version don't hear me complaining
2. How can i remove one of the ability...not to replace her
I've been thinking a lot...with bersekers...
One ability is enough for them...attack twice
In my hex editor appear like this:
6a 03 6a 46 6a 1a (berseker ab/attack twice/berseker code)
how can i remove 6a03...and the game don't crash

as much as i know it is impossible for now...
By the way, could anyone send me H4mod.exe and c_e_mod.exe files? after i install equilibris they are zero bytes sized...
EDIT: to someone who wanted to edit the data files:
i have just found the editor here: http://www.celestialheavens.com/homm4/usefulfiles/mh4.win32.006.zip
EDIT2: my success at changing creatures alignments by editing table.creatures.txt from text.h4r:
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll24/solitaire345/realigning_test.jpg
(not posting with IMG tags because of big dimensions)
for now i can only change might-chaos-death-order creatures (changing life and nature will crash the game... probably because this messes the file or maybye i have deleted some control character)

Modding experience curve for heroes
Hi community,
I want to thank all of you, as well as the Equilibris team for the great work in keeping this game alive; I am one of those people who think Heroes 4 is the best game in the series. Your efforts have inspired me to look into modding it myself (though I am not nearly the hacker that some of you are).
My question should be simple, but I'm drawing a blank as to where to look for it- does anyone know where the heroes' experience curve is defined? I should like to modify other stats as well, but the experience curve is the most important thing on my list for now. I like the curve initially, but it becomes ridiculously parabolic when heroes reach levels in the mid-20's, after which point Trees of Knowledge and black dragon arenas seem to be the only way to really continue to advance.
Any help on these matters would be most appreciated!

Hi BAD,
Do you happen to know how I might go about modifying the hero's experience curve? I still haven't figured this one out, if you have a little time and are willing to help me out. If not, it's not the end of the world. Peace.

Thanks for your efforts, BAD! What did you end up doing to make this work, if you don't mind me asking?
I have tried to download the mod file you uploaded to bigupload, but it won't let me download it. It keeps telling me that the ftp password I'm supplying is incorrect 
Would you be willing to send it to me by e-mail? If so, I'll PM you my email address. Thanks a bunch!
