Hmm, this was only meant to be an example for someone; not something I'm willing to support.
Taking a *really quick* look, try modifying EDX @ 0x4171F4 following the same logic.



I've tried it. And your solution is absolutely useful!
Besides, do you know how to change the bonus percentage of the Necromancy Amplifier? I want it is 5% instead of 10%. This is last point I want to change. May I could only ask for your help. Thank you again RoseKavalier.

For necromancy power in general, take a disassembler and inspect function starting at 0x4E3F40.

Is it possible to divide Galthrans skeleton bonus by 2?, or make him get bonus like a level 2 specialist?

Anyone? (I also tried giving him a static creature bonus of +4 attack, +4 defense and +1 speed, but for some reason he does'nt get the speed bonus)

Because for static bonus, there is no speed bonus...
The three things you can add are : attack, defense and damage if I remember well.

Hello,

To edit standard creature's basic statistics (not HotA ones), you "just" have to open the file H3bitmap.lod end search for CRTRAITS.txt. In this data (is a kind of "table") you got all creatures characteristics and can change them here. You can't change abilities from there !
I highly recommend to save a copy before changing things.

Then open this file with appropriate tool to change it at will.

For programs to do that ; see here :
https://grayface.github.io/mm/
Look for "MMarchive" and "Txt edit".

Have a good day,

If it's for HotA you need to open the folder hota_ing.lod and edit the crtraits.txt file.

Onwards to specialties

Alright,i have successfully edited creatures stats.

Now i would like to change a couple hero specialties.
For example,Sorsha's specialty into Pikemen/Halberdier (most likely) or Offense.

How do i do that exactly?
Step by step rather.

The calculation change the flee ratio too. And with many works I still can't figure out how to only change the join ratio (with strength calculation modified)

igrik said:
Or you can just disabling "free diplomacy" (for free -> for gold only)
_PI->WriteDword((0x417236 + 1), 3);
_PI->WriteHexPatch(0x4A755D, "EB");


I chose another way to balance diplomacy.
The two statements above with two more below will let origin paid joiners flee.(for free -> for gold only & for gold only -> flee)
_PI->WriteHexPatch(0x4A75A5, "11");
_PI->WriteHexPatch(0x417246, "EB");

More radical modifications are these.
_PI->WriteDword((0x417236 + 1), 0);
_PI->WriteHexPatch(0x417246, "EB");
_PI->WriteHexPatch(0x4A755D, "EB");
_PI->WriteHexPatch(0x4A75A9, "EB");
All joiners will flee no matter the free or the paid.

Just a warning Pikemen/Halberdier special is the second best in the game, (Best is Galthrans) so she will get very powerful. Of course that also applies to Offense specialists.
I did however make a Gremlin, Centaur and Medusa specialist which I'm perfectly satisfied with.

Yes i am aware of that,but i'm not gonna overbuff them,thanks for the warning regardless.

And i've also read the first post a couple of times already,i've even checked Sorsha's offset and....kind of found her.

However,her offset number...i can't really explain it.But basically on her adress there is only "01" that counts as that offset,idk if that explained it somehow by some miracle.Help much appreciated

I would strongly recommend to read beyond the first page of the thread. (better to read the whole thread, lot of answers are there, yet unsorted)

You have to invest some time to get started, I did the same thing when I started half a year ago.

I recommend to read all posts from Maurice starting at "October 03, 2016 09:20 PM" and bookmark the page.

You find answer to your question on page six

Maurice said:
Not me, as I have yet to explore the HotA expanded section.

As for the Hero specialties, as I don't know ERM , it's luckily not that hard to decipher:

Byte 1 - 4 determine the type of specialty:
0 = Skill bonus
1 = Creature bonus per level
2 = Resource bonus
3 = Spell bonus
4 = Static Creature bonus
5 = Creature Speed Bonus (exclusive to Sir Mullich)
6 = Creature Conversion bonus
7 = Static Dragon bonus (exclusive to Mutare in both her shapes)

As for the parameters of each:

Skill bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: Skill ID.

Creature bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: Creature ID.

Resource bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: Resources ID (0 = Wood, 1 = Mercury, 2 = Ore, 3 = Sulfur, 4 = Crystal, 5 = Gems, 6 = Gold), amount appears hard-coded, not listed as a parameter.

Spell bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: Spell ID.

Static Creature bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: Creature ID.
Bytes 9 - 12: Attack bonus.
Bytes 13 - 16: Defense bonus.
Bytes 17 - 20: Damage bonus.

Creature Speed Bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: The bonus value.

Creature Conversion bonus
Bytes 5 - 8: First Creature ID allowed for conversion.
Bytes 21 - 24: Second Creature ID allowed for conversion.
Bytes 25 - 28: Resulting Creature ID after conversion.
I wonder if the intermittent bytes allow for other Creature IDs as well ...

Static Dragon bonus
Bytes 9 - 12: Attack bonus.
Bytes 13 - 16: Defense bonus.


Also bookmark this page (creature, items, skill ID'S)

http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=18817

so to answer shortly 01 =  creature speciality, 06 = swordsmen : change 06 to 00 (pikemen) or 01 --> 00 + 06 --> 23 (offense)

edit: looking at your picture I think you are at the wrong offset.

speciality of sorsha is found here 0x2784E8

this is a file I use to quickly find  the specialities of heroes
user Karyoplasma put it together, the list is not found in this thread afaik.

After 100 years i've finally succeeded with this

IT WORKED!



It took me some time,and just as i was ready to quit i figured it out.(Was really mad that i couldnt find the hex's and the fact that when i edited they didnt work(returned them to their original state,no worries!))

However,i've run into this "issue"...I've edited the text and the description of the specialty bonus(if that makes sense) however...the picture of the swordsman stays the same. Any fix? If there isnt,it's not a big deal.
Again,thanks for the help everyone,appreciate the relatively quick answers and enduring my stupidity. I'll be back with more questions etc. when i need to

cool!

Yes you can change the picture, but it is a real nightmare and you need like 3 additional programms to make it work. I think I spent a day to figure it out...



I'm not a modder and I only did it one time after I changed all specialities.

I did write some notes down, unfortunately I did not do a detailed step by step guide in case I want to it again.

Maybe this helps-

Hi guys. I think I have located the icons for the heroes specialities, they are located in H3sprite.lod H3ab_spr.lod and HotA.lod the files are called UN32.def and UN44.def,
I don't know what the difference is between the two files, they both seem to contain all heroes and HotA.lod also contains all Cove heroes specialities.
I don't know how to edit those files however...    
---
44px def for hero screen, 32 - for kingdom overview

DefPreview for viewing and unpacking, H3DefTool for packing.

Open Def Preview

Extract all files

export defmaker def list (old format)

open Defmaker

Replace Files

Save als Def List

Open Def List with H3Def Tool

Save as .def

Is it possible to make Eagle Eye learn spells from enemy creatures and to learn spells immediately after they are cast, not after the battle??
