PS In FAQ for creating 2rd upgrade I forgot to mention, that icons also must be added to town-hall.def: at 49 cadre there must be icon of 7th level building.
Ye,I already did that,thx

Special buildings now are not implemented, so they just drawn on screen without any effect.
Thats bad to hear  I hoped there is some bonus format that would give special buildings their atributes.So the Crystal Garden and Statue wont work for some time...the horde building also doesnt seem to work well but I see there are options in faction.json so i guess i just set something wrong

The horde works good.
You need to add [18,19] for horde 1 and [24,25] for horde 2 (buildings also must be present in texts, structures, buildings).
For example, for horde 1 in buildings.json you want to give additional growth for sprites,pixies (lev 1).
In id=18 you must have
"upgrades":30
(if you want to replace building id=30 with id=18 on screen) or
"requires":[30]
(if you want to draw additional dwelling on screen not touching original).
For id=19 you must have
"requires":[18], "upgrades":37, "mode":"auto"
Then you go to faction.json, add [18,19] to "hallSlots",
then you must have
"horde":[0,-1]
(0 - means that horde 1 (18,19) give growth to level 1 (6 - to level 7, for example)
Same goes to horde 2. For it you must have
"horde":[0,3] (if you want to give growth to level 4).
For creatures, that will gain add. growth, you must add in their json files
"horde":10
(10 is the amount of additional units each week).
UPG Well originally give add. growth to all creatures, you cannot do this in H3, but you can use well as horde 1 for some level monster

Ye,its working now.I forgot to set the horde number in pixie/sprite.json
Yesterday I experienced crashes with the 2nd lv upgrade version on not built cities,it was most likely because in faction.json the Dreadnought was both at 3rd and 7th level.I
deleted it and it works good now.Still the Juggernaut is both at 6 and 7 level while in Sacred Phoenix.json is on level 6.It doesnt cause any trouble,funny how it work.Btw is there a way to completely remove 7th level creature from showing in castle view ?
I upload the new 1.05 version with working hordes and fixed building texsts

Don't tried it yet.
PS When I create new town, I set all levels of creatures, siege shooter and commander to "archer" or "Halfling". And it also works

Ok the last important thing that needs to be done for everything to work well is setting he shooters right.At this moment the shooting sound is messed up and I dont know why.The animation seems to be set right.For example the sharpshooter - I checked him in cranim.txt and it looks like this.These are offset values,frame angles and attackClimaxFrame
and here is how sharpshooter.json looks
I dont know whats wrong :/ here is cranim file if needed CRANIM

You mean sound is not played at 11th frame but earlier?
Ask in VCMI thread.
But I think this is how it works now (as for me I play without sound).
Or edit sound file by inserting needed silence at start.

Nah,this is not the case.It sounds distorted as if it was played many times at the same time.Its better to hear that I prefer to play with sound

So it's problem on your computer! I don't have this error.
Try to run VCMI_client.exe in compatibility regime (choose them all until sound plays good).

It couldnt have been my computer.At my friends computer it played the same.Also the cove town shooter sound played well at the same VCMI so I copy/pasted the missile part from cove pirate.json to my sharpshooter.json to check it.Suprisingly the sound and animation is ok now even though the json looks like this
Well at least im closer to solving this
EDIT : lol i just changed the values to correct ones and added right def and everything is working ok ^^ Its like some little things were causing the problem (commas maybe?)Well at least everything is ok now

Maybe VCMI calculates remaining frames and stretches sound to play at remaining frames length?
Or your missile def was illegal (not 9 frames in it)?

nah,the def had 9 frames.I checked it earlier.Also the Pirate bullet had one frame so i dont think its a matter of frames
All the creatures are now done,some just need to get their abilities to be comeplete so I uploaded the newest mod version 1.10.

VCMI developers wrote they disabled "spinning" property for missile. Maybe they didn't do it right, so 9-frame missiles don't work right?

I think the projectile def is not at fault.First it didnt work and after i put it to pasted "enviroment" it worked.It might have to do with "{}" signs but im not sure.Anyway im trying to set new abilities now and i have a problem how to limit them.This is how it looks :
I want to set double shot like with grand elves and also set "death stare limited to just melee fight but it doesnt work Seeing arrows equiped with death stare is fun but its too overpowered in late game
for example when i use quotation marks at ONLY_MELEE_FIGHT it doesnt see the ability and when i dont use- the limiter is not working at all ^^ Maybe im doing something wrong ?

There must be , at end of each string. It's hard to show, cause you posted image instead of text.
Didn't check, but I think DEATH_STARE doesn't work on distant attacks.
If it works, try
{
"type":"DEATH_STARE",
"subtype":1
}
It's some commander type stare, I think it must work.
effectRange don't work as it must now. At least I tried it for "SPELL_LIKE_ATTACK", but attack still hurts own troops.
Ask at VCMI thread, IvanSav can help you, I think.
PS You forgot to put in quotes "ONLY_DISTANCE_FIGHT"
UPD
As I look into sources, here
http://sourceforge.net/p/vcmi/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/server/CGameHandler.cpp#l3482
//allow more than one additional attack
int additionalAttacks = stack->getBonuses(Selector::type (Bonus::ADDITIONAL_ATTACK), (Selector::effectRange (Bonus::NO_LIMIT) || Selector::effectRange(Bonus: NLY_DISTANCE_FIGHT)))->totalValue();
"effectRange":"ONLY_DISTANCE_FIGHT" must work, just dont' forget ""

Well thats the problem the death stare DOES work on distant attacks and i DONT want that.I want it only to work on short distance but the archers just keep shooting with Death Stare effect ^^ Unfortunately when i use quotes it doesnt show the ability in the creatures ability box Its not working
With this setup the game only "sees" 2 abilities : shooter and unlimited retaliation.Theres something wrong with effectRange

Try this (I corrected quotas):
{
"type" : "SHOOTER"
},
{
"type" : "ADDITIONAL_ATTACK",
"effectRange":"ONLY_DISTANCE_FIGHT"
},
{
"type" : "UNLIMITED_RETALIATIONS"
},
{
"type" : "DEATH_STARE",
"val" : 10,
"subtype" : 0
}
I looked into sources, DEATH_STARE don't have effectRange modifier, it works as spell. So it cannot be reduced to melee only.
It don't work on UNDEAD or NON_LIVING, by the way.
