Is anyone knows how to change items of the shops?

This is unsolved issue since 1.5 years

Edit: Everything is so complicated, let us discuss it from beginning. I will update first post today. Already passed 1 year and i still haven't succeed.

1-) Let us start with the file. Which file should i work on it?

layers.dialog.blacksmith.life.h4d should i export this file from Heroes4.h4r OR equi.h4r or somewhere else?

First of all let us verify this.

2-) Which version of Heroes 4 Resource Editor should i use? I have tested it on few versions that i have found and none of their edit, settings, help buttons wasn't working. And check this picture, i remember i was able to double click on it and there was a window opening with it's laters but it is not working

Without modifying my dll for Equilibris, and using the layers file I sent you, this is what I see in the blacksmith:



Without the change to the dll, are you able to see the image change, or does the game still crash for you?

I would like all files and screenshots to be here for reference, then.

Anyways the true question for me is how to change them without equilibris DLL.

No. It changes only "how it looks" but still it is Plate Mail.

this topic between the pages 7-13 but i think it would be better if we can go step by step.

Yes, I'm aware I just wanted to see if the game still crashed or if you could see the new look.

It seems likely that there is another place in the dll that needs to be edited as well.

Equilibris is useless for plugin, tho, thus need for base game adressess.

Ok then tomorrow i will try it with HIEV and i will inform you. By the way actually i amsure it was not about h4.dll because everything it fits with offset. Crashes starts when i pack this file or put it manually in data folder layers.dialog.Blacksmith.Life.h4d

Finally i did it! And i found the problems

1-) Uppercase letters. I have changed Golden_Plate_Mail to golden_plate_Mail
2-) ResEdit sometimes was not properly extracting the files.

As i mentioned few days ago, i have find the error by myself


But still i could use help about artifacts icons. My last attemp was axe file. My Golden Platemail is looks like an Axe item in the market.

I am here again. Let us continue on this. STILL i am facing many issues.
First question. If i remember correctly, i was able to double click on it and can see the layers. But no more it is working.
I have tested it on layers of layers.dialog.blacksmith.life.h4d from equi.h4r and heroes4.h4r and none of them worked.

Is anyone knows how can i do that? 1 Year already passed and still no success.
