Im making some abilities and encountered a annoying problem.
"How can i refer a object from another mod loading too with launcher?"
Example: hota ported cove is a mod. Im making a abilitie to affect some creatures created in cove. That creature not exists in "creature.{name}" default config object. So, how i can refer that creature ? Something like "cove.{name}" or similar structure ?

Yes, look what was done in Tarnum part 2 mod.
In your mod.json you must type:
"depends" : ["hota.cove"],
where 'hota' is mod your are want to reffer for, and 'cove' is a submod.
So having such code - player must enable hota.cove together with your mod and all configured jsons from hota.cove are know to your mod.

Used Def tool. Way better than others. Thanks
Now, my first .def
Used a spritesheet taken from web with 7 poses. Dismembered the body parts and made each sprite 300% bigger than in game combining e creating parts in photoshop. Resized, eliminated semi-transparent pixels and finished the def with Def tool. Take a lot of time, but still worty learning how do somethings in each phase.

Hard to say with such small frame, but it seems you are using old 0.99 vcmi version without black color supporting. I advise to dowload fresh, latest daily builds.

Check how vcmiglaurung code is implemented
else if (cheat == "vcmiainur" || cheat == "vcmiangband" || cheat == "vcmiglaurung")
{
if (!hero) return;
///Gives N creatures into each slot
std::map<std::string, std: air<int, int>> creatures;
creatures.insert(std::make_pair("vcmiainur", std::make_pair(13, 5))); //5 archangels
creatures.insert(std::make_pair("vcmiangband", std::make_pair(66, 10))); //10 black knights
creatures.insert(std::make_pair("vcmiglaurung", std::make_pair(133, 5000))); //5000 crystal dragons
const CCreature * creature = VLC->creh->creatures.at(creatures[cheat].first);
for (int i = 0; i < GameConstants::ARMY_SIZE; i++)
if (!hero->hasStackAtSlot(SlotID(i)))
insertNewStack(StackLocation(hero, SlotID(i)), creature, creatures[cheat].second);
}
This is from CGameHandler.cpp, as you can see there is condition for each creature cheat code at beginning and std::make_pair defined after that for creature ID and count. Extend this code. If you need further help let me know.

Sneak-peak of your creatures is fine, but like planetavril said it - some defs-creatures are well known to players as part of many new town line-ups. That's why mixing various mods could be confusing: for example when you encounter Fairy Bears on map, you'll never know if these are bears from Preserve mod or from your mod and what abilities they have. Of course it's minor issue but keep in mond that player almost always wants to have new creatures as part of town line-up than 'standalone' ones

I understand yours concerns about mixings ideas. But im making the mods for personal use, and i like to share. Gonna set 'conflicts' with town mods and others mods using same creatures than mines or objects to avoid that situation you talked about.
Yet im going for new town in a future, but for now i have a least 15 creatures to animate e make the .defs, just take time to make each one.

No need to set conflicts in these cases. For vcmi engine "preserveFairyBear" and "fiorinFairyBear" are two diffirent creatures. I just want you to know that mods with new towns are more more more popular than mods with standalone set of monsters  I've made one of such set and its popularity is 10 times lesser that any fan made town ;] So if you feel enough skilled, better option is to make a completelly new town. You can talk with acidchalk - he's talented guy and works on few townscreens at once ;]

It's a good thing that you can create new creatures from sprites parts. It's most interesting of your abilities. It will be great, if you will continue to add totally new DEFs to your mods. New creatures graphics is most rare part of modding.
