I ran through 0x43B2E0 quickly (different function came after) and it gave me &(0x63B7D8) for ECX which is referenced a few times in the code, e.g. 0x436885.
Not something I've seen before.

---

How it can be ?

.text:0043B2F4                     mov cl, ds:byte_0043B4F4[eax]
.text:0043B2FA                     jmp ds: off_0043B458[ecx*4]              

this strings say that in ECX - surely not &(0x63B7D8)...
From which string in 0x43B2E0 ECX becomes &(0x63B7D8) ?

That's simply a switch() {} that loads the function to call to EAX, it does not call here, just returns lead to correct logic.

That's incorrect. EAX gets filled just before that, and is used as an offset to find the correct value to return to CL:

.text:0043B2E3                 mov     eax, [ebp+arg_0]
.text:0043B2E6                 add     eax, 0FFFFFFF1h
.text:0043B2E9                 cmp     eax, 3Ch
.text:0043B2EC                 ja      loc_43B44E
.text:0043B2F2                 xor     ecx, ecx
.text:0043B2F4                 mov     cl, ds:byte_43B4F4[eax]
.text:0043B2FA                 jmp     ds: off_43B458[ecx*4]

I would like to see plugins for:

1) be able to remove ballista and other war machines from heroes inventory. (especiall ballista sucks with blind)

2) Tell the stupid ballista and especially tower AI, to NOT attack blinded creatures, at least if there are unblinded creatures left... In my current fight there are 6 unblinded and one blinded creature, but my towers keep attacking the blinded one (sprites)...

3) First Aid -> tent can resurrect and heals more and has more hitpoints. At the moment I consider every magic hero with ressurection to be much stronger than any might hero, just because the might hero is loosing troops in every big fight, while the magic hero never looses troops.

4) More heavy change: Allow to switch between mass- and single spell. Especially "Dispel" you normally do not want to be casted at all units. Most of the time I would like to remove "AntiMagic" from a single unit.
If you have expert, you could cast a less effective spell at all units, or a good spell on one unit. Eg. haste gives +1 or +2 more speed when casting on a single unit, compared to cast it to all units.

EAX is initially your switch(value), and then in the appropriate case: the appropriate address is loaded to EAX.

Everything before 0x43B301 is just manipulation, everything after is results.

? ?

@Maurice,

but how in procedure sub_00438D50 is transmitted ECX with complex structure of variables, not just number from jump table ?

Can anything be done to make Resurrection and Animate Dead less OP?
I already made Animate Dead cost the same mana as Resurrection and consider moving it to level 4.
But since the reviving becomes permanent these spells seems to be some of the only spells you cast when you have them, making combat a bit boring. I could of course just disable them from a map and remove the 3 heroes specialising in them, but I don't know if they could somehow become less OP?... If they somehow could work after a battle instead of in combat, that would be much more interesting I think.

Perhaps in multiplayer, but in singleplayer once the main hero has grown strong Resurrection/Animate Dead and an occasional Chain Lightning is all I seem to cast

If you or the enemy was wearing Recanter's Cloak, Orb of Inhibition or HotAs Ring of Oblivion resurrection cannot be performed.

It was also more like raising the topic for discussion and perhaps you guys had some ideas too? Or maybe you think they are already perfect as they are?
