The New Creature Framework simply makes the game accept more than the standard amount of creature slots. This means we can add new ones without changing anything of the old, and then can put these on our maps, or see them randomly appear in others, where the appropriate wildcard stack has been added in the map editor (I think!). But you are right, we cannot make them look entirely new. We are forced to make use of what is already in the game, but there are clever ways of making things look different - alpha changes, standard texture edits, animset swaps, modelinstances, particleinstances and so on. Plus of course we can specify new statistics and suchlike (although not new abilites).

so what Gnoll_Mage said translated to english is: the new creature framework increases the max of creatures to 300. you gotta use existing textures and effects to make creatures. you can recolour textures tho.

You can put [url=http://www.artmoney.ru/index.html]Artmoney SE[/url] in first post. It's advertised by author as a game cheating software, but it is good in-memory hex editor with system of filters that can be useful in modding too. And Artmoney SE is free.

Add in Paint.net to the list, it is a free grapic editor that can open DDS and ICO files.

I'm not sure if modifying those particular things is possible, but all you need for simple modding is a zipping program like 7-Zip (WinZip will probably do), and Notepad, etc.. Then just open the data files, and you can edit whatever, it's mostly in XML format which is usually reasonably easy to understand.
Don't forget, you shouldn't actually modify the data files (the archives that is). There are various ways of getting your changes in, you can save your edited files in a few places. I forget which ones work when...

You won't convince me that some random Bonfire Studio is better than Notepad++. Universal tool for editing any files, be it XML or .lod resources.

thanks, guess i will just have to see how that works out.
one of the things that i was wanting to do, for example, the human fortress type building that lets you hire downgraded versions of upper teir units, i thought should let you hire all of them, sort of like a min town, maybe even provide 500 gold
(not sure if there is any thing like that for the building)
thou this does bring me to a question, because i know that some games missions are set by triggers, would doing this efect the missions as well or just muli play?
Edit:
where can i find the data for the buildings?

Ok, as somebody who is taking programming classes, I might get into Modding very soon. However, would be good if I could HCM experienced Modders if I get in a pinch. Any suggestions/volunteers?

Thats really good idea by doing like that we can upto some extent make the game look different but entirely we cant change the games look But there are some option by which you can make the game look entirely different as del_diablo said by use of paint.net we can change grapic of the game. We can only add things we cant remove from it. by using paint.net we can make it attractive than before.

Dear modders of HC our VIP representative to Ubisoft concerning the development of H6 Cepheus just posted this
Quote:
I may or may not have heard that we're looking for some redoubled discussions regarding the map editor at this time, specifically any major requests you might have. Not too late to implement your desires 
Since some of you here are proficient like no others with the editor in H5 your input concerning this would be most appreciated considering you'll know the problems of the current editor the best and thus can provide the best input. I do hope some of you read this and find the time to post your suggestions and wishes here. You'd not only be helping yourselves for future projects but also people who'll start works of their own with the new editor. So please consider replying.
