@Djangoo What did you change the orbs bonus to?, +25%?
Yeah kinda strange how Sorcery only adds +15%, while the orbs adds +50%. The orbs are worth it, Sorcery not so much…

Perhaps both Sorcery and the orbs could be +25%... (Don't know if it will make Sorcery specialists OP...)

I know the other one is right as well, just not sure when it is triggered. Use that one and this one.

Changed both Sorcery and the Orbs to 20% at the moment. But I think 25% would be perfectly fine as well for both, probably better, because I also reduced secondary skill specialists to only 3% per level.

Orbs:
change 30 EB 63 00 at 0xE5B17 to:

25%: 14 83 67 00
20%: 32 A3 55 00

@RoseK
Thanks, I will test it later.

This is interesting, It makes heroes like Crag Hack, Tazar and Gunnar less OP.
How did you make this change?

I might also go for the change of orbs and Sorcery, both to +25%.

On page 9 there is a post by Maurice.

can anyone help me? I want improve Gunnar, Kyrre and Dessa specialty. Logistic from 5% per level to 10%



It can be done, but it's a slight bit awkward. The code at 0x000E4F1Ch - 0x000E4F21h (4 bytes) holds the hex value of E4 EA 63 00. This is in Little Endian, least significant bit first, so for human readability the value should be read as 00 63 EA E4. This is a pointer to a data value, held at location 0x0023EAE4h (keep in mind that when data from within the .exe is loaded into runtime memory, 0x00400000h is added to the actual location -> 0x0023EAE4h then becomes 0x0063EAE4h, the value above).

The data read at that referenced location is 4 bytes in size and holds the byte string CD CC 4C 3D. Once again writing it in human readable order, we get 3D 4C CC CD. This is the hexadecimal 32-bit floating point representation of the value 0.05. It's this value that is multiplied for Heroes with the Logistics specialty, with the bonus of their Logistics skill. However, it's also the value used for other skill Specialists. As such, changing this particular value would also affect all other skill Specialists. That's not what you have in mind, I guess.




I edited
0x0023EAE4h --> 8f C2 F5 3C (3%)

If I understood correctly, you can directly change this value to your liking without affecting anything else but the specialists. Affecting only certain specialists should be possible too (see post by Maurice) but I didn't put in that effort.

@RoseK: with both values changed it works

Is there a way I can edit First Aid skill (other that increasing amount of hp healed) by hex-editing?
I want to make First Aid skill giving the Tent ability to "cast" Cure and dispel negative effects from one target. I guess its not possible with hex edit, but what about mass heal? I knew that its possible to change effect from spells on expert level (mass or one-target) with hex editing.

Tents don't cast Cure.

Improving First Aid is discussed already in here, I suggest looking at existing documentation in the thread.

Thanks a lot. Spell artifacts are fine, but Health bonuses didnt change after I typed new numbers, I have no idea why.
I guess pointer [0x63B8D0] means -10% gold cost for surrendering? This is not 90%, so I have no idea how to change it for example to -25%.

Diplo: it calculates discount. Each one adds 10% discount. You can make negative float if you want.

HP: welp, the one I gave you is definitely correct, there must be another function somewhere that does similar thing but used at another time.

Currently...
RVitality - E66B3h [1, Dword]
RLife - needs long patch
Vial - E66D7h [2, Byte]

If you use RLife long patch: RVitality changes.
1) E6698h 1Ch

2) E66B1h
03 6A 01 5B 8B 7D FC 6A 5F 89 F9 E8 9F 2D FF FF 84 C0 74 03 83 C3 01

RVitality
RLife

Is there any way to buff Ballistics?, for example have catapult act before arrow towers, if you have the skill? Or give it an additional effect?

It's possible to swap their initiative order, but I can't make wine out of water.

64B6Fh 95 ==> 91
64B7Ah 95 ==> 91

64B8Dh 91 ==> 95
64B98h 91 ==> 95

Thanks RK, but the above seems to work even if you don't have Ballistics, I wanted it to be a bonus for the Ballistics skill, but perhaps it's not possible?

Is it possible to change the experiences earned in battle from health-based to battle-value-based (or AI-value based)?

it's painful to add functionality with hex edit that isn't there in the first place.

Oh that's awsome.  I guess I can find some space in the code by modifying where is originally int3 or NOP.  Do you think it's safe to do this?
