Editing creature icons
Hey guys!
Is it possible to swap creature portaits(icons) for some fanart pictures? If the answer is yes, how would you go about it?
just this quick question, have a nice day

What you need are the CPRSMALL.DEF (the small portraits used in bottom right quick info panel & hero meeting screen), and TWCRPORT.DEF (used for the larger portraits used in town garrison and hero management screen). You can extract these files from H3sprite.lod (from Data folder) with the help of MMArchive program and you can edit them with the help of DefPreview and H3DefTool. These 3 tools come packed with Era 2 mod.
Hope I answered your question well enough.

Awesome! Thank You!
After a bit tinkering i made it work (had wog and typhon upgrades enabled - they overwrited the original twcrport.def and there I was wondering why old image for black dragon still displays)
I was even able to import 24-bit .bmp picture into the DEF (original icons are 256-colour .bmp only!)
Thank You once again!

But keep in mind that during importing 24-bit frames are converted automatically into 8-bit frames.
