Ok so let me get this straight here
Im trying to chnage around the stats of the skelton archer in vanilla heroes 5, no expasion packs, version 1.0. I have looked around and have found some usefull wikis on such things like where to find the files and how to edit them. Howeevr i have no idea howm to save the new changed stats and make the game run.
Last night i thought i had it fugured out. I went into the data.pak files, un-selected read only, and made a copy of the data.pak files on my desktop. Then i went into the desktop data.pak and changed around the stats of the skelton archer, saved it, and then transformed my data.pak desktop file into an acual .pak folder so then i could put it into WinRaR format and put it back into the original palce which is like gamemechanics/creature etc. So i got the desktop data.pak file into an acual data.pak file and got it into WinRar format. Then i copy pasted it so then it replaced the original data.pak folder that was in the directory. Tried to start up the game and it said it encountered a problem and coundlt start.
So is that how you do it? There are tutorials on how to eidt and find the fils but i have yet to see one on how you save your chnaged content and then pklay with it.

the best way is to check what folders the originals are in and make the same folders in the data directory, for example:
Textures\Bananas
If this is the directory for the file in the data.pak, make the folder "textures" with the subfolder "bananas" inside it, with the proper files within that one. The game prioritizes the newest files always, meaning your files will show up properly.

Alright lest try this one
I want to chnage the skeltons archers attack and defense and hitpoints. I want to make the attack 5, the defense 6 and the hitpoints 15.
So I go to C:/programfiles/ubisoft/heroesofmightandmagic5/data
So the data has an icon of the winrar program, the books and such. So that means its in .pak form. So i right click on the data and de-select the "read-only" option so then i can edit it. So I made a copy of the data folder in my desktop, and then went inside the desktop data folder and extracted the skelton_archer file onto my dekstop. When it did that, it copied the entire directory, so it acually created the GameMechanics fodler on my desktop with the Creature file, and then the Creatures file inside of that one etc. With that, i edited the skeltons stats. But what do i do with this file now?

Put the GameMechanics folder in the Data folder (the folder, not the .pak), it will be prioritized over the data.pak
