HELP: Mods not working
I have (another) apparantly simple problem: I have made a couple of small MODs that change various details in a couple of simple textfiles (Skills.xdb, HeroClass.xdb, DefaultStats.xdb, etc.). However, when I play the game, the changes are not effective. I've doublechecked, and all folder paths seem to be correct and file dates are more recent than latest patch (12.09.08 and 13.09.08). Any clues what could be the problem.
For your information, files paths are as follows:
VariousTweaks31.h5u\GameMechanics\RPGStats\DefaultStats.xdb
UltimateSkillsAndClasses31.h5u\GameMechanics\RefTables\HeroClass.xdb
UltimateSkillsAndClasses31.h5u\GameMechanics\RefTables\Skills.xdb
NewHeroStartSkills31.h5u\MapObjects\*faction*\*internalname*.(AdvMapHeroShared).xdb

Are the .h5u files placed in the UserMODs folder?
Are the .h5u files "normal" Zip files with "Best" compression?
Otherwise I can't help you, unless I see the Mod

Compression strength doesn't matter really. I always use "none" and it works.
Alci, have you tried to test it on a new map?

The files are placed in UserMODs folder.
The files are .RAR archives renamed .PAK - will this make a difference for the game?
I did not try testing on a test map. These are small skill-structure changes, I've made similar MODs before that worked without issues.

Text resources are UTF16-LE files, so it should be fine.
The display font might be another issue, but I guess if that's the problem, the character will jut not be displayed. If really needed, the fonts files are in Bin/Fonts inside the texts.pak file.

That's something I've been wondering about for a while too. I'd like to change the ingame fonts, but how do you actually edit/view those files in the bin directory?

You also have the files in /UI/Fonts (dds and xdb here), so I guess they work like textures, with compiled resource files in bin/.

I found deadly strike at gamemechanics/RPG stats at the rpgroot.xdb
It says there that it is text or flying sign,can somehow i change this?
I found a suitable sound and effect for it but can not set it up.
Help please.

The abilities don't have any effects at all.
What you see, for example when the Wraith uses the Harm Touch, is an effect and animation that belongs to the Wraith. If it were another "activated" ability for the Wraith, it would "look" the same as Harm Touch.
The game works like this: on every creature you can place up a special animation type called "specability". Note also that for each animation you can link a specific effect.
This "specability" animation type is triggered when the creature uses an ability.
What does the above mean? That you can have multiple creatures with Deadly Strike ability, and on each one a different animation and effect will be displayed.
Here's the path (just an example) to the Wraith's animset file:
data.pak\_(AnimSet)\Creatures\Necropolis\Wraith-arena.(AnimSet).xdb
You'll see if you open this file that it has something like this:
<Item>
<Kind>specability</Kind>
<Anim href="Wraith-arena-specability.xdb#xpointer(/BasicSkelAnim)"/>
</Item>
If you happen to have a creature without this "specability" animation type, you can add it yourself.
Also open up the file it points to, namely: Wraith-arena-specability.xdb (in the same folder as you can see)
That file contains the animation itself (<uid> tag) and the effect (<Effect> tag)
You can check the effect file it links with the <Effect> tag, but I'm telling you it's pretty hard and annoying to modify effects.
