| Thanks Alex 
 But are you sure this is correct?, I have spent the last half hour testing and I can't get any of them to appear… (I tested with hundreds of Refugee Camps)

| Done more testing, but I'm sorry to say it does'nt work for me. I have had every other neutral creature from level 1-6 appear several times, but not any Sharpshooters or Enchanters.
 
 At C9028 I'm supposed to change 6A 00 -> EB 1C correct?

| Well, I tested it with SoD. Now I see that in HotA this function skipped  
 UPD You need to change HotA.dll, but I'm not sure I have the latest version. Can you post MD5 of your HotA.dll?

| MD5? 
 Yes I run latest version of HotA, actually it's their "test update" version with the classic Resistance skill 1.5.3e.

 MD5 is the checksum value of the file in question.

| Seek option in your graphic editor like Remove transparency/delete transparency/remove alpha channel/delete alpha channel. And please don't write that vcmi mods are bad designed. As you know - all graphics in vcmi is displayed correctly (except your own mods). ____________

| You must convert image to bitmap with 256 colors, with some special colors at the beginning of the pallete (you can check one of orginal H3 images to see what colors you need). 
 There is a lot of info about that at the internet so I'm sure that you easilly find tutorial that shows you how to do it in your graphics software.

 You can use any online (for example, http://onlinemd5.com/) or offline (for example, https://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/) MD5 hash generator.
 
 But anyway, hex-editing HotA.dll is mostly a waste of time, because almost every time the library is updated you'll need to write a new patch.

 Building coordinates are in h3hota.exe (for standards towns, not for Cove). It starts here:  28AA0C , from Castle buildings. First is Mage Guild level 1:
 
 
 00 00 C3 02 A6 00
 
 
 Number of frames for animation (inverted)
 
 Coordinate x. It's inverted too. It means that it's not C3 02, but 02C3 which in decimal means 707.
 
 Coordinate y. Also inverted, so 00A6 means 166.
 
 
 
 Coordinates for all standart towns can be found in WoG sources:
 
 https://github.com/GrayFace/wog/blob/master/T1/town_var.h
 
 It starts at line 490.
 
 
 
 where to insert the coordinates of the z-index and how to calculate in hexadecimal the negative value for example -5
 
 
 I'm trying to recreate the Egyptian bastion but by recreating the images 800 by 374 do not fit, I calculated the coordinates in hex but the buildings with the z-index are superimposed and not behind

| I gave you offset for puzzle position. If you'll do for me properly working puzzle map for Forge (I don't have time for that), I'll spend my time on finding z parameter. |

 ok just tell me if I have to make the images 800 x 374 there too
 
 puzzle
 
 you know some other offset or interesting portion of code, I'm looking for the one where we are entering the number of cities
 
 
 the offsets of the puzzles start at 2818d0 and calculate the coordinates, we are always at the starting point, how do I do it?
