Hi guys, new here and sorry to greet with a really noobish question.
I am changing the hero icons for all factions in TotE without actually changing the dds files in data.pak
The first 6 factions in the original game were fine by creating the desired image files in dds format and saving them under Gamedirectory\Data\Textures\Icons\Heroes\<Faction Name>\
But I couldn't for the life of me do the same for Fortress and Stronghold
I suspect that this can still be done but the files need to be saved in a different directory. Would someone know where these diretories should be?

I've just noticed, in unupgraded dwellings files, there are two slots for creatures. possible to make a H4 like mod? with 2 differents creatures to recruit by level?
is it possible to choose which magic schools will be represented in the magic guilds of each town?

Please help me understand why my mod isn't working:
http://appliedmath.elementfx.com/files/Robai_mod_v1.1.zip
This archive contains 3 files:
Robai_mod_descr.txt - Full description about what this mod is
Robai_mod_tech.txt - Full step by step explanation how I've made this mod
Robai_mod_v1.1.pak - The mod
In short, this mod has 3 parts:
1) Master Gremlins can repair 99 times (instead of 1).
2) Ossir has Soldier's Luck instead of Magic Resistance.
3) Some skill requirements has been changed and Absolute skill is now easy to get, for example:
Nature's Luck now requires only: Dead Man's Curse + Pathfinding
i.e. only 9 skills needed:
- Avenger (10% probability): Rain of Arrows
- Luck (15% probability): Soldier's Luck + Elven Luck + Dead Man's Curse
- Logistics (15% probability): Pathfinding
I've placed the .pak file here
..\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V\data\Robai_mod_v1.1.pak
I'm playing 1.60 version and my .pak file has later creation date than other .pak files (that is just a .zip file renamed to .pak).
I checked this mod and:
- Master Gremlins indeed repaired many times (at least more than 20 times).
- Ossir has indeed Soldier's Luck instead of Magic Resistance.
- But it seems that the Absolute skills isn't working, i.e. haven't changed (I checked only Warlock's absolute skill - Rage of the Elements)
Question:
if I right click on skill (like Wizard's Reward for Warlocks') then I could see it's requirements (eg, Wizard's Reward for Warlocks' was provided by Dark Revelation and Elemental Vision)
After my mod:
Rage of the Elements now requires only: Wizard's Reward
i.e. only 5 skills needed:
- Elemental Chains (10% probability): Elemental Vision
- Enlightenment (8% probability): Intelligence + Wizard's Reward
Warlocks' Wizard's Reward now requires Intelligence instead of Dark Revelation.
So, the question is:
- should I see "Intelligence and Elemental Vision" instead of "Dark Revelation and Elemental Vision" when I right-click on Wizard's Reward (on Warlock hero)?
I think the problem is here, because I still see "Dark Revelation", not "Intelligence".
The same is for Rage of the Elements:
- I still see this
"Provided by: Plague tent + Tear of Asha Vision + Wizard's Reward",
- and not this
"Provided by: Wizard's Reward"
I tried to get Rage of Elements, but I was unable to get even Wizard's Reward having "Intelligence and Elemental Vision" (I created a map and gave 100000 xp to hero by some trigger - tried it many times).

I never modded for 1.6, currently all skill prereqs are edited in gamemechanics\reftables\skills.xdb Are you sure this file doesn't exist for 1.6. If so the files you changed are perhaps not used by the game.

Thanks.
That file is in several locations:
..\data\data.pak\GameMechanics\RefTables\Skills.xdb
..\data\p3c-data.pak\GameMechanics\RefTables\Skills.xdb
..\datals\p5-data.pak\GameMechanics\RefTables\Skills.xdb
(it's not included in p6-data.pak)
I tried to change this
..\datals\p5-data.pak\GameMechanics\RefTables\Skills.xdb
and placed the mod into data folder, but it had no effect.
Also tried to place it in datals folder, still no effect.
Then I did the same with p3c-data.pak and no effect.
After that even tried to put both these together (doing the same modifications):
- from p3c-data.pak I put into data folder
- from p5-data.pak I put into datals folder
No effect.
Later I also included my previous mod into data folder.
Still no effect.
Does it mean that it is impossible to change skills prerequisites in version 1.60?

Edit:
Ok, now I've found much better way to do this, i.e. there is no need to modify original packs.
My skill mod pack I renamed to p7-data.pak and put it into datals folder and it works!
Note: it has to be exactly name p7-data.pak, not other name!
Old message:
Finally my skill mod works!
 
This is how I did it in version 1.60:
1. At first no mods, i.e. here
../Heroes of Might and Magic V\data
are these files
data.pak
p3c-data.pak
p3-texts.pak
sound.pak
texts.pak
and here
../Heroes of Might and Magic V\datals
are these files
p5-data.pak
p5-texts.pak
p6-data.pak
p6-texts.pak
2. Here file creation dates satisfies inequalities:
data.pak < p3c-data.pak < p5-data.pak < p6-data.pak
3. Make a copy of these two files, because they will be changed:
p5-data.pak
p6-data.pak
4. Now rename file p5-data.pak to original_p5-data.zip and unzip it to some folder, for example, here
C:\Games\p5-data
5. Modify this file
C:\Games\p5-data\GameMechanics\RefTables\Skills.xdb
(an example is below)
6. Select all folders and files in this folder
C:\Games\p5-data
and add them to archive p5-data.zip (i.e. create this archive).
(do not archive folder p5-data, archive only what is inside it!)
7. Rename p5-data.zip to p5-data.pak and put it here (overwrite old file)
..\Heroes of Might and Magic V\datals\
8. Now p5-data.pak has later date than p6-data.pak
So, extract p6-data.pak and create it again (don't change any file inside).
And put it here (overwrite old file)
..\Heroes of Might and Magic V\datals\
9. Now you can add some other your mods here
..\Heroes of Might and Magic V\data\
(they have to have later creation date than p6-data.pak, but maybe only creation date of p3c-data.pak matters in this folder)
10. Enjoy.
For example, I've made these changes:
1)
<ID>HERO_SKILL_ABSOLUTE_CHAINS</ID>
...
old:
<SkillPrerequisites>
<Item>
<Class>HERO_CLASS_WARLOCK</Class>

Here
http://math.heliohost.org/HoMM5/Index.html
are the mods I mentioned above.
Extract the file
Master_Gremlins_and_Ossir_mod_v1.0.zip
and you will find a FULL information how to change repair ability.
This mod really works on version 1.60, I checked that.
My skill mod for version 1.60
Easy_Absolute_skills_mod_v1.1.zip
also works and is also fully explained (you can easily change it now).

Many mods work without editing .exe file. I think you don't need to edit it, because nobody has fully cracked it:

I know. Some mods working without editing H5_Game.exe but I really need to edit this file. I need to change only one text line.
I opened H5_Game.exe [url=http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2589/zrzutekranu1cr.jpg]picture1[/url] and I opened .rdata file [url=http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6839/zrzutekranuu.jpg]picture2[/url]. Next I edited this file but I can't replace new file (replace old .rdata by new .rdata)
Can you help me? I want to change only one text line (from DefaultStats.xdb to DefaultStats2.xdb) but I don't know how

I can't help you with .exe file, because it depends on the program you are using for extracting .exe file, i.e, you should ask about it that not here, but in the Forum of that program.
But I'm sure that you can make any effect in the file DefaultStats.xdb to work WITHOUT editing .exe file.
This file is located in 4 locations (on HoMM5 version 1.60):
..\data\data.pak\GameMechanics\RPGStats\DefaultStats.xdb
..\data\p3c-data.pak\GameMechanics\RPGStats\DefaultStats.xdb
..\datals\p5-data.pak\GameMechanics\RPGStats\DefaultStats.xdb
..\datals\p6-data.pak\GameMechanics\RPGStats\DefaultStats.xdb
So, do this:
1) extract file DefaultStats.xdb from p6-data.pak
2) modify it as you wish
3) now you will have two folders and one file:
GameMechanics\RPGStats\DefaultStats.xdb
4) zip the folder GameMechanics, i.e. make file any_name.zip
5) rename that file into p7-data.pak (exactly this name!) and put it here
..\datals\
(not data, but datals)
And it should work (at least in v1.60).

Please tell us whether you succeeded?
Does the method I described above worked?
Also, which game version do you have/tested?
Here
..\data\texts.pak\Text\Game\Artifacts\Staff_of_vexing\Description.txt
is this:
Decreases initiative of enemy creatures by 20%.
Here
..\data\texts.pak\Text\Game\Artifacts\Staff_of_vexing\Name.txt
is this:
Staff of Ensnarement
But here
..\data\p3-texts.pak\Text\Game\Artifacts\Staff_of_vexing\Name.txt
is this:
Staff of the Netherworld
So, this artifact was renamed.
It's called STAFF_OF_VEXINGS here:
..\data\data.pak\GameMechanics\RefTables\Artifacts.xdb
You can change there only these values:
<CostOfGold>20000</CostOfGold>
<AIValue>1000</AIValue>
But I don't know how to change any other effects of artifacts (not only for this artifact, but also for any other artifact).
Please share if you will find a way to change it.

Some answers you will find here:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/modding_wiki/modding_for_dummies:start
In short, you don't need to unpack the .pak files.
You just have to place them into this folder:
..\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V\data\
But if you installed HoMM5 recently then those .pak files (i.e. mods) will be older and will be ignored (because of file creation date).
For that reason do this:
- if you have file some_mod.pak
- then rename it to some_mod.zip
- unzip it and zip it again (and keep the same folder level, i.e. don't create additional folder) and give it name some_mod_02.zip
- rename file some_mod_02.zip to some_mod_02.pak and place it here
..\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V\data\
Now mods should work, because file some_mod_02.pak will have later creation date than other files in that folder.
But if you play HoMM5 version 1.60 (i.e. the latest version without HoF or ToE) then you might have to place mods into datals folder instead of data folder and I think you will have to put all mods into one mod, because all .pak names are ignored except p7-data.pak (strange, but only this name works as far as I tried).
