What is too much? Do you expect some text file where you change 2 values then game runs with your modifications? This does not exist. In order to mod a game you need a platform with a coding language.
You have two options:
a) use this patch and add your modifications to it (assuming you know to hex edit and spent months to search addresses). Once you modify the exe, the game will run modified, the original will be gone.
b) install era, then sod mod. Open sod script, add all the changes from this patch in erm language (a few hours of work at most) then add your changes.
The modifications will run as HoMM mod, your original game will be intact.
The question is: what is worth more, learn erm or learn hex editing? In my opinion, erm is much more flexible.
Of course a third option would be to learn nothing and keep asking someone to add your modifications.

hello to all h3 fans
hi2all fans of that great game. I'm 30y old but still got the fever of this awesome game. I'm lucky to have 3-4 friends who can still play games with them. We do serious game multiplayer gaming when we got free time. (5-6 games monthly)...But let's cut the crap, i've read lots of changes that people have done over the game, but most of them are likley to change game core options which is not good.
I would like to ask some of you ,which know how to "'mode'' the game, can he made me a change patch , cuz i tryed with some programs but didn't succeed.
I want just few things to be done, to perfect the game.

Links to files seem broken can u post them again pls. (both txt files and .exe) Thanks.
@UndeadHalfOrc
First off, you did a really great job balancing... well, everything. It really shows you put a lot of time and effort into this.
I've been playing with this mod for about 1 year, I think and I've also kept adding some modifications of my own to the game. Most are related to the text in tooltips, skill/spell probabilities and to statistics in general, though to a lesser extent.
Long story short, I'd like to post the mod on ModDB and wanted to ask for your permission since it contains many elements from your mod. Naturally, I would give credits, provide a link to this page as well as a log with all the changes so people can see the differences.
Please let me know if you are ok with this and if there's anything you want to know, ask away.

Greetings KnifeBuster and welcome to the The Heroes Round Table!
Yes, the balance patch/mod by UndeadHalfOrc is for Heroes III:SoD but it works flawlessly with Heroes III Complete as the Shadow of Death expansion itself is part of the H3 Complete bundle.
Cheers,

Don't worry if things are going badly today. They will be much worse tomorrow.

I've pasted it into Heroes III's main folder, and Data folder but nothing in the game changed. They contains .dll, .cnt, .snd, .log etc. files but there was no .txt files to be replaced
Edit: I feel so dumb now, thank you, admin and Yurian

@KnifeBuster
You are not replacing anything, you are just adding.
Modified exe to program folder, the rest to data folder. This nicely comply with HD mod.

hardcoded
Also did u guys ever get to check out the russian mod where they implemented negative luck, battle animation for idle creatures, and other features that were supposed to be in the game but never made it? I dont care much for new town but some of those changes would be awesome if ported on the original game. Or if someone could make a balance mod for that version a lot of people would be eternally grateful. Tnx
Yes, hexedit only.iliecostin wrote:Does anyone know if there is a way to modify unit special abilities? I know it cant be done via .txt editing. I'm guessing hex?!...
Thanks!
You mean Horn of the Abyss or some different mod?

Yes Horn of the Abyss. It has some nice features, but also a lot of imba skills like logistics and useless like eagle eye, learning etc. When i saw the bad luck proc for the first time i giggled like a kid as i did not expect that. I know it was coded in homm2 and the sound and visuals existed in homm3 but the damn thing never worked. I tried to hex edit some of the sec skills like in the balance patch but the hex offsets in hota.exe do not match with the original. I'm guessing it would be easier to apply a balance patch to the hota.exe than implementing bad luck and others to normal homm3.exe. Thank you for replying.

txt editing
Does anybody know what the Fight Value and AI value in CRTRAITS.TXT refer to? I found some info but it seems inconsistent. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

That's all I know.

Man, could you keep your obsession for ERA or WOG for another thread? There are people who don't share your love, that's normal, that's life.
