In editing the text files, note that only the "values" are used by the program ; the text is inidcative.

To change the creatures you fight its "hex editing" in datas (or once more, use other mod support).

I wrote a question for you on the "how to edit hota" thread about editing the creatures spellcasting. I suggest you search on there some answers there. Link here : how to edit hota thread

I don't know for "different kind" of shipwreak... I thought it exist only one kind...

Samely, have you changed the "rewards" ? Here again I think the type of reward can't be changed but value can (by text editing). I think the "crash" comes from here ? Not sure.

You made 8 kind of percentages ? It does exist in standard text file ? If not, program will only use the "normal lines" and if the total is not 100% its possible the "crash" comes from here too... As previously written, do not insert a line ! The game reads it "where it is" with original file ! So inserting a line/column will create bugz for sure... There is some editors who can change those files safely with "no chance" of making mistakes in saving the file... All is on "ERA" pack. Even if you won't use ERA, download it for the tools are made by incredible persons during the ages to mod... The text editor linked is one of these tools. Some others exist for edit graphics if you wish (but it will require some time to learn to use them).

Samely you can change text files for heroe's starting troop but it won't do anything until you change a part of data in exe (by hex editing). Amount can be changed in text file but not the "kind of unit".

Hello folks,

I hope this thread has still some of you listening to it. I try to modify my HOMM III Comnplete Edition. Not in a really fancy way, just changing some of the heroe pics and I try to change some skill and sepcialities. I just want to change the skill land speciality for Sylvia so that she has something usefull instead of navigation. I always play without water together with my son.

I already tried to change the entry in the file HreoSpec.txt but this is only the translation. Can somebody give me a hint in which file the skill and speciality assignment takes place?

Kind regards

Can you tell me the size of a heroes data? Is it 62?

Regarding the address, I don't have so much lines in my heroes version. It ends with 0x29AFF0. Allthough I can play SoD and AB as well it seems not to be the "complete" version, sorry. I read in another thread that the value might be 0x279DD0. But I think the process/structure you decribed will be the same, correct?

Hopefully the last question and I'm enabled to get my hands on: I see the skill properties in your data structure but I miss the speciality. Is there a way to take influence n these as well?
