It is possible that he did not change the txt files using a txt editor, but word pad. In such situation, the game refuses to start, because txt file unreadable.

There are in Data\H3Sprite.lod. For unpack use MMArchive or ResEdit.
For edit those def-files use DefPreview to extract frames and H3DefTool to compile frames back to def.

h3wog.exe still doesn't run. I used the zcrtraits from your sample (the all-russian one) and the game refused to run. it will only run when creature number in amethyst.cfg is less than or equal to 196.

I don't think that's the problem with zctraits since your samples file didn't even let wog run.

Is there any other trick i'm missing?

Excellent! Now I am extracted them!

But now question! When I am now extracted creature.def file $42 Type Creature, there is showing up:

0 Moving
1 Mouse Over
2 Standing
3 Getting Hit
4 Defend
5 Death
7 Turn Left
8 Turn Right
9 Turn Left
10 Turn Right
11 Attack Up
12 Attack Straight
13 Attack Down
20 Start Moving
21 Stop Moving


Do I need to compress exact pics to smaller to fit on those H3Sprite.lod\AVWATTACK-CPRSMALL-TWCRPORT or do I now need h3deftool to modified a creatue which I want to add?

I am now trying to add a HotA creature unit called Blue Bird.def and it shows all this data

Please someone help me again!

You'll only need 1 picture of the blue bird, actually any picture, not even from the original def, to add into those 3 lists of def icons.

Anyway, if any pic, then pretty simple

Take a look at which def you want. Your pictures should match the size of other pictures in the def you want.

OxFEA, do you have a link to the txt-editing program you're using? The same problem persists with my new creature, namely, WOG won't start unless the creature number = 196 in your new config file.

I'm running out of tricks here....

I guess I'm doing it wrong.. I placed the test creature on the map. It shows the creature's portrait, but it's name is null for some reason and the game crashes when I try to attack it..

hmm. I just extracted the archive from first post to wog directory. I suppose the test creature is already configured properly..

amethyst.cfg contains this line:
creatures=197

and creatures/197.cfg contains these lines:

Town=5
Flags=20
Level=5


The lines in txt files are present

Test archive does not contains files for placing creature to map. Zeobjcts.txt, AVWATTAK.def and others
