Uh, before modding, you should ensure you have an untouched Heroes folder somewhere. For working on def frames, you always have to remove background before every modification and add it later. Welcome in hell.

How do I remove this and replace it with a castle/neutral background?
EDIT: the creature also isn't "centered" as you can see

These are stored in a def called TWCRBACK.def. If you want to change the picture, change it here. If you just want to put a creature belonging to a different town, I think there is an ERM command under MA for this

How do I change CPRSMALL.def & TWCRPORT.def for one creature? I extracted a picture, recolored it and put it back into the defs. But the game crashed. Should I extract them all instead?
And what should I choose with "type" in H3DefTool?

In h3defview you should choose the option to extract all for h3deftool and then just open the file with it. Change the picture, resave and reinsert. If you are trying to make it again yourself it will be really annoying as you'll have to add every creature frame in order one by one. The game crashes because you probably tried to use a CPRSMALL with 1 creature, and the game tried to show any other creature, and broke.

What's the background color for the small avatar, some sort of brown? When I keep the cyan it shows only half transparant.
The townscreen pic worked like a charm.

What small avatar? The ones you see on the adventure map in the bottom right (and also in town, and in the main menu) are in CPRSMALL and the background is cyan. The background for creatures when you right click on them is a pxc file called something like CRBkg***.pxc with the *** being different for every town. Something close to this.
Can you explain what you mean by half of the background? Pic?

Well, I encircled it in green. There's some cyan left in my small Behemoth pic, I used Magic Wand Tool, Inverse Select, but he doesn't take the whole pic, so I hold Shift to select the cyan, but he doesn't delete the cyan. It's still visible in-game as you can see.

It just must not be perfect cyan. If it is it will not show up, should be pretty obvious when it is wrong...

Could you crop the image to just the part where something is wrong? Now everything looks fine to me...

You can magnify it, you know, when you click on it.
Also, I wanted to change a dwelling name, so I renamed it in DWELLING.TXT, CRGEN1.TXT and ZCRGEN1.TXT, but nothing happens in-game?

Can someone PM/post the Sylvan Centaur "combat screen" def? Mine has a white background... even when filling in PS with [0,255,255], the background changes to grey, wtf?

I think you may be screwing up with deftool actually. Mess around with the standard color boxes and such. I'm assuming grey means like a shadow, so it thinks one color is a special one or something, happened to me a lot.

No, it was like this when I installed WOG. I think it's weird it doesn't show up as a white background either in-game.

Background can be any color handled by def tool, not only Cyan. I often used black or white background for creatures containing cyan inside. Open def tool and look at colors table.

Is there a way to batch extract a def file into animations? In particular, for example, CChamp.def has 18 animations; and I can extract them by manually clicking 18 times in Def Preview.
What I want is to automate this process because i need to do it with several def files. The first though is through command line, but unfortunately, Def Preview does not support command line does it ? Or maybe there is another way to do it, please help me.

There is always the option within defpreview called extract all for deftool, which extracts all pictures plus shadow and makes a file that deftool can open... easy

actually I see that option, but what I want is a little different.
For example if the def file has 20 animations (moving, death, turn left ...) I want to extract them separately into .pcx files as they are. Alternatively, I want to know what .pcx are "contained" in which animation, so that I can use them later.
This is because I want the "sprites" for a small, fun "game" on XNA I'm trying to write. I forgot to mention this purpose (no modding here, but it's still ..uhm.. related so hope you guys can help me  )
