[GUIDE] Recoloring creatures, editing stats etc.
(thread title should be changed, I can't do it apparently)
I found an old guide of mine, feel free to adjust it if there's anything wrong, but normally it should work:
RECOLORING CREATURES
1) Open MMarchive, and H3sprite.lod, search for *.def, Extract
2) Open *.def in DefPreview, Extract Pictures
3) Open all *.BMPs in Adobe Photoshop
4) select Magic Wand Tool, click somewhere in the cyan, rightclick Select Inverse, Image - Mode - RGB color, Image - Adjustement - Hue/Saturation (BACKGROUND MUST BE THE SAME [0,255,255])
5) Redo all opened pics, and save them all when done
6) Open DefPreview, Export DefMaker DefList and original *.def
7) Open H3DefTool and match all actions, Generate Shadow, set Def path in General and add to h3sprite.lod
8) Click on Make Def
---------------------
1) Changing stats: open TXTedit.exe and open ZCRTRAIT.TXT (extracted from h3bitmap.lod)
2) Changing dwelling name: open TXTedit.exe and open DWELLING.TXT, CRGEN1.TXT & ZCRGN1.TXT (extracted from h3bitmap.lod)
3) Changing army/town creature icon display: extract CPRSMALL.def & TWCRPORT.def in h3sprite.lod, adjust pics in PS or so
4) Changing creature on adventure map: same as recoloring
+ also edit CRTRAIT0.TXT & ZCRGN1.TXT

So erm, I put my recolored creatures animation sprites into H3DefTool (matching all animations), saved it, set the correct paths and saved it to h3sprite.lod, but it doesn't show in the game.
What am I doing wrong?

Dendroid Soldier, I recolored CBTREE.def, repacked it and added it to h3sprite.lod, but it doesn't work. I'm missing something...

How do I remove the pink shadow and yellow outline again?

Check the Selection box and the Deep Shadow box?

Well, considering dendroid guards and soldiers look pretty much alike, are you sure you edited the right one?
Also, I was about to ask if you made sure that the h3sprite.lod file your game is getting the sprites from is that one and not another one, but since you are also asking about the pink shadow, I guess that's the right one.
As to the pink shadow, I don't quite remember how I used to deal with that

Selecting those boxes didn't fix my problem.

If you play HotA, there's fixed CBTREE.def in HotA.lod file. This file has higher priority than h3sprite.lod.

Problem is with extracted frames from def. If you want extract frames, it's better to use second option in def viewer.

I still have the pink shadow and yellow outline on my creature when recompiling the def. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, it worked fine a few years ago when I did it, but apparently I did something else back then...
6) Open DefPreview, Export DefMaker DefList and original *.def
I think there's something wrong here.
Funny how my own tutorial confuses me

So what needs adjusting here for removing the purple shadow and yellow outline?
EDIT: ok so I think I've fixed it, extract with shadow, recompile and re-add shadow.
