All of the "disabled" buildings have no means to build them in Town, nor do they have any function. "Enabling" those buildings is just one step in making something functional - you need to do a lot more to actually make it so.

Too bad, would have been an easy way to give Fortress (and perhaps Stronghold) Mage Guild level 4.

Does anyone know how to switch the cannon in Cove towns with a ballista?
Turns out the cannon ruins AI and ballista specialists...

Open windows calculator, write coordinate in normal Dec mode, then click Hex and voila! You have coordinates in hexadecimal.

What Windows version is that? It looks kind of outdated . In more recent versions, they've split the various different options into the "view" menu. You're looking for the "Programmer" view (also reached through ALT + 3) to do this.

Lol, you do know support for Windows XP expired a few years ago? Your office is taking a pretty huge security risk by still using Windows XP .

I meant how they should be written in the exe files
for example, if I have 2d3d0a to write this or how do I need to invert it a0d3d2?

Can anyone please explain to me how can i change the chances to have basic learning/eagleeye/mysticism pop up as a skill choice whenever a hero of any type levels up?

I am using the latest HOTA and HD MOD and i usually play random maps or campaigns.
In simplest words i want to make Basic Learning, EagleEye and Mysticism have a 0% chance to appear for every hero type (knight/warlock/beastmaster...) upon level-up in the game.

Is there a way to make this change "game wide" so that no matter what map/scenario/randommap/campaign i play it will be active, so those skills will never be offered during level up?

I am not familiar with mod making for homm3 but i am hoping such a specific change might not be a complicated one to do.

Thank you very much for reading and helping

You need to edit HCTRAITS.TXT located in HotA_Ing.lod and change all values from X -> 0. You can't edit Captains and Navigators here though, they have to be hex edited and I don't know how.
You can also just disable those skills in the map editor and change heroes starting skills and specialties.

Thank you for replying.

What is the difference between editing the .lod file and using the map editor?

Would both of those methods affect every map/campaign/randomMap/scenario without having to edit every possible map individually?

Also which tool would you recommend for opening .lod and then merging the changed files back into .lod so that it affects everything?

Lod files are internal game engine files, so changes in lods will affect whole game: campaigns, scenarios, random maps.

Customisation in map editor will affects only one map you are making right now.

Rest answers are in this topic: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=45203
