iliveinabox would it be possible to update the editor, so you can rename the layers in the editor and it saves?

Double click or right click -> open to open up the file. Then in the new window that opens up, select File->Export ora. This will prompt you to select a directory where the ora file will be saved.

Layers files should already allow you to update the names of the individual layers (Don't forget to save, and you might have to save with a different name since I haven't yet figured out why I can't seem to close the file in order to delete).
If that is not the case, please let me know what you're trying to do so I can take a look at it.

- Open Heroes 4 Resource Editor
- Open equi.h4r
- Open Tree: layers->dialog->Blacksmith->Life
- Doubleclick on Life. A new Window Opens. Click File -> Export.ora
- Open File in Gimp. Rename the Layers. Save.
- In the Editor, still on the Life Window, File -> Import .ora
- Then File save. Then you can close the Life window.
- And then File -> New (h4Container)
- Then File - > Add : layers.dialog.Blacksmith.Life.h4d
- Then File - > Add : layers.dialog.Blacksmith.Golden_plate_mail.h4d
- Finally File - Save as: new_mod.h4r
- Copy into Data Folder, Start Equilibris

Wow actually it works. Why did I fail earlier? vulcano you can rename in the editor, the save. then add.
Just replace
Plate_mail with Golden_plate_mail
L_Arrow_Plate_Mail with L_Arrow_Golden_plate_mail
etc.

Finally. Successfull with some errors.
First of all, i was tested it on Chainmail.h4r and of course it looks like a Chainmail.
Second is i cannot buy it by itself. Only with another items but probably it is because of it's cost 0. I will check for it.
Third and most important part is i cannot add it to my own .h4r
Let me explain why. I was using ResEdit2 and ResEdit2 cannot detect the h4d files
And i couldn't find how to add .txt files to the mod with Resource Editor.
If i try to open my packed mod (equi.h4r) and add the 2 files to it, game tells me "missing important files" and i already know when you pack the files once, no more you cannot export it back. At least it happens to me.
My mod includes 7 txt files only. How can i put them together?

Resedit2 is fantastic but only for quick view its unfinished and has a lot of bugs.
Try another eg.
H4resex
Put pluggins in main folder NOT in pluggins folder!!! Beware.

Which files are you trying to add to your new_mod.h4r file?
Let me know exactly what you're doing and I can help figure it out.
If you're trying to add a file with the same name as another file already in the .h4r file, that probably isn't going to work. You should be trying to add files to a newly created h4r container as leadcrow mentioned above.

The layer renaming for me is easy.
But you really need to change something in the .exe/.dll as well for it to work?

No 'add' I dont know resource editor. Best and safe way is rebuild all file. Extract all. Correct files you want. Pack all.
Resedit break your file after second 'add' and is non redeable for game.

I think its problem Resedit2? You must always clean 'config' folder. Because its Resedit2 cache. And the same file name make mistake because in cache is another old than your new. Always delete all. But use another tool. Is faster.

Again, which files are you trying to add? What are their names so that I can know the type?
If they are file types the H4 Resource Editor recognizes (and it knows many of the file types), simply changing the extension to .h4d should allow you to add them to a new h4r container with the resource editor.

Also, I don't know where artifacts hex codes are noted. I know creature, hero ability and spells ones.

Wait. It will gonna work? And yes i already changed h4.dll file for the new item. It is working when i pack the files with Resource Editor.
I have re-named the files as .df2 and ResEdit2 able to see the files. But games crashes when i try to click shop. But i have tried it pack with ResEdit2.
But i cannot pack it with Resource Editor. It cannot detect .txt files.
