Hello guys!
How can I change the +1 LOS radius bonus of the Speculum artifact to +2?
The spyglass have the same +1 bonus, which makes the other artifact pointless.
(The Speculum stands on 3 legs, it is bigger, heavier than a Spyglass. It really should give +2 radius in stead of just 1.)

Speculum (0x0E43C6) and Spyglass (0x0E438A) are both coded using an EBX+1 (43). You would have to get some empty space to change it for 43 43 (shortest +2 possible).
Second Post:
I managed to remove Ring of the Magi as a combination arti and replace it with Armageddon's Blade:
0x4c857 -> 6a 0b 6a 11 6a 1d 8d4dec 6a 03
0x4c875 -> 80.
But I don't know how to make the new Armageddon's Blade require 4 items instead of 3. When I try to replace the code above with a jump to free space, the game crashes on startup. BTB2's method (replacing b9 06 00 00 00 with 6a 06 59 6a 17) also didn't work when I tried it. Does anyone know how to add an extra item to a combination artifact's requirements?
Update: I got it working. There's 8 nop (90) bytes at 0x4c8c8, so I used that as empty space for a short jump:
0x4c85b 6a 06 -> eb 6d (jump 109), 8d4dec 6a 04
0x4c8c8 90 90
-> eb 06 6a 17 6a 1d eb 8d (jump -115)
Everything marked bold applies only to my case (Arma blade, 4 elements with these arti IDs) and everything marked in Italics is brand new code.

Okay, so I have Eagle Eye learn level 3/4/5 spells and 85% chance at all levels. (Not 100% to leave a little for Eagle Eye specialists and artifacts.)
Are there any other ways to improve Eagle Eye though?
Making it learn spells DURING combat, not after?, or learn spells from creatures?
Alternatively Eagle Eye could always be 100%, but then Eagle Eye artifacts needs to be removed and 7 Eagle Eye specialists need new specials...

You could make it give hero extra knowledge, work as a spell damper, magic channel, etc.
Second post:
I figured out how to edit Interference % of Plate of Dying Light: 0x1d40c8 in Hota.dll.
Third post:
Out of all Factory buildings, only Mana Geneartor's cost is not defined in Hota.dat. Does anyone know where the cost is stated (most likely in Hota.dll)? I want to change it to 4 gems, to mirror Brimstone Stormcloud's cost.

I know this line exists in HotA.dat, but it doesn't actually correspond to the cost. I've edited it before and it didn't change the cost in-game, which is why I've concluded its coded in Hota.dll instead.
And the line you pointed to is the cost of the Bank. The empty line (0s) is the one for Mana Generator.

Hello guys!
I am thinking how difficult would it be to bring back the old campaign menu to hota?
Does someone have any guide on menu editing?

Hello everyone,
I am working on a Scholar specialist. So far my code looked as follows:
0xa2657:
.....8d 4e 01 (lea ecx esi+1, basic scholar from Levels 1-2)
.....e9 c4ab0300 (jump to free space)
0xdd223 (free space):
.....0f be 87 d0000000 (loads scholar)
.....31d2 31c0 (zeros edx and eax)
.....b8 00 00 40 00 (sets value of eax to x400000)
.....8b15 80 9c 67 00 (edx value to the specialty index)
.....8b 40 1a (mov eax, [eax+1a]). According to btb's guide this can be used to find Hero ID data.
.....8d 04 80 8d 04 c2 - lea eax, appropriate data range.
.....83 38 00 cmp eax, 00 (skill specialty)
.....75 09 (if not -> jump)
.....83 78 04 12 cmp eax+4, 12 (scholar specialty)
.....75 03
.....8d 4e 02 (lea ecx esi+2, basic scholar from levels 1-3)
.....31c0 31d2 (cleans up eax and edx)
.....e9 fc 53 fc ff (jump back to the end of the original scholar function)
0xa2661
.....83c003 (eax+3, as this is what eax was in the original function at this point).
Clearly my EAX value pointer (b8 00 00 40 00) is incorrect, as the scholar skill works but the scholar specialty does not. Can someone tell what the correct eax value here would be?

I try to rework a bit artifacts as I notice a great difference of power for the same level of artifact...
The stats bonus can quite easily be changed (23E774 is the start for centaur's axe and you have 4 stats to change, then next artifact...)
But fpr example, Sandals of the Saint is a Relic artifact and adds +2 to all stats (so +8) and the Helm of Heavenly Eligntment is +6 to all stats (so +24 total), 3 times stronger... You can so be lucky and get a Relic 3 times stronger on a random finding of Relic... Its IMO, far too different.
I also try to equilibrate the needints of each slots. In original game you have : 37 treasure artifacts, 21 minor, 37 major and 25 relic.
The Misc have 46 artifacts, feet only 6, 10 rings, 8 torso, 8 left hand, 9 right hands, 17 neck, 9 shoulders and 10 head.
I changed that to get a more equivalent number of each and try to not place too many relic or treasures on same spot too.
I'd like to know if there is a way to add the 3 "unused" artifacts (Diplomat's suit, Mired in Neutrality, Ironfist of Ogre) and change them to be of use. Even if its just to add stats...

You can find them easily in the UH3D (the Ultimate Heroes 3 Database with a proper search request). Really, try it, it contains tons! of information and how things work in this game.
Manuals are scarce, though. But it's worth the power of not asking about anything game related anymore, believe me 
Just look for yourselves (self-explanatory images) -
See? It contains perfect English names of game methods! Wowsers.

Yeah, I know, easy to start, hard to master. But this THING can give you Archangel's wings, so you could fly way! higher than common modders (ok, you can compare them with imps, those have ERM-wings, but I think you're starting to understand which way this funny comparison goes already). Seriously, have you ever tried to add a single new spell to the game? Now you can add whatever you've ever dreamed of
