^^ Is this a plug-in? HD Mod sadly does'nt support these anymore, so I can't use it.
Why not use latest HD mod compatible with plugins, as I do? Afaik there are no such amazing HD recent features which would require being updated.

Yeah I guess so, do you know what the latest version was that supported plug-ins?
Don't know why they removed the option in the first place, probably something in relation to fairness or compatibility of multiplayer games.
Still it would be nice to have plug-ins as an option, also for future releases.

I use 5.0 beta 31 as it is the latest 100% era compatible, it works great and allows plugins.

Is it possible to give neutral creatures a natural terrain, for example, desert?
Is it possible to make Sir Mullich's speciality affect the creature's speed outside combat, just like the speed bonus of creature specialities? (This affects hero's movement points on the map)

Is it possible to make AI cast Remove Obstacle, Fire Wall, Quicksand, Land Mine and Force Field? (Normally AI is not allowed to cast these spells.)
I tried changing the values in sptraits.txt, but AI still does'nt cast them. HotA made AI use Berserk, so it is possible somehow...

Yes, plug-in. It is very hard to make something complex only with hex editing. As far as I understand, RoseKavalier continuously wrote about it.
Problem is that with hex editing you have limited space to put you new function in, because the other parts around the area you want to edit do something else. So the best you can do is change some numbers around or change specialities/secondary skills, but if you want anything to work differently in its core (additional checks that don't exist in the base game, making a skill area targeted instead of mass at expert, etc.), you will need a plugin.
What a plugin basically does is wait until the game uses the function you wanted to modify and instead of executing it, it redirects to something you wrote yourself. Kinda like a Cheat Engine script.

HotaA heroes editing.
Found by Dixlot.
HotA heroes are in HotA dat. Its a short file and heroes are at the start. First is biography and rest the same like heroes3.exe. You can edit all using HexD editor.
Changing skills. Editing skills is too possible. See:
www.celestialheavens.com/forum/7/8806?start=100
Here are the offsets along with some of the commonly used percent values that I wrote down.
offset: 0x0023e998(luck)
offset: 0x0023e9a8(leadership)
offset: 0x0023e9b8(necromancy)
offset: 0x0023e9c8(mysticism)

Some Percentages:
05% - CD CC 4C 3D
07% - 29 5C 8F 3D
0.0833333333 - AB AA AA 3D
10% - CD CC CC 3D

40% - CD CC CC 3E
45% - 67 66 E6 3E
60% - 9A 99 19 3F
Here's a site that converts values.
http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/IEEE-754/
20 % you must write 0.2, 80% = 0.8 etc.
Movement is in tables (Logistics).
Catapult too in txt. Elemental magic you can edit too in txt.
You must edit HotA txt tables NOT game txt tables. And then HotA DAT using HexD editor.
HotAeng.lod
Using MMArchive and Txtedit
https://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm
And thats all. :-)
Bolded the Scouting entry. The instructions on how to edit the stuff is around it.

Good afternoon,
Here first thing, we're trying here to "hex edit" the .exe of game. Basically its not "done to be modded" so its not really easy and I highly recommend to make a copy in case of mistakes... You change the .exe with in the language its "compiled" and not the language it was originally written. So many persons serach where is written and how are written some of intresting things in those datas and this knowlege can be used to mod things. Being better, you shall find yourself things in datas but its quite hard...
That beind said, how to do ?
1/ First use a hex editor to open the .exe (hota.exe or Heroes3.exe dependind of what you want to mod ; detail : some datas may not exactly be to the same place if its not the same version).
2/ Here go to the position of intrest : 0x0023e9d8 (scouting).
3/ Then at this location you can find some values (for scouting its not percentages but just basic values as I remember). You need to understand how are written values here and "what" is written to the location you found.
4/ Here change those values to the one of intrest. Notice its written in hexadecimal (in "our language" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18... is written in there 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0a, 0b, 0c, 0d, 0e, 0f, 10, 1a, 1b...). So basically if you find the value "10" is not "ten" but generally it means 16 in the .exe.
5/ Test if it works as expected (after saving your copy)...
I hope these things will be of use to better use the guide.
Good luck in modding,

I have this file so I couldn't have found "0x0023e9d8" because the symbol of x does not exist in offset.

I recommend you search on the internet for hexadecimal notation in computer programs (for data as well as memory addressing) and how to edit them. It might also be useful to read a bit about assembly and compiling source codes and the like. With that knowledge, this whole thread makes more sense and allow you to understand what is being said in this topic as well as what you actually have to do to bring about the changes you are looking for.

Actually I can edit somethings in SoD by ejecting files from H3bitmap.lod such as hctraits,hotraits etc. Then I put these files to data folder and it works but this method does not work for HotA.
Is there any differeny way to edit HotA? I am interested in changing unit stats,heroes,dwelling costs,requirements etc...
