@Chris:
As mentionend, fheroes2 does just what you are searching for. You should check out the code at sf.net or ask your questions to the developers.

would really love a update on the info you have… if your willing to share… would love to port HOMM to various platforms but can’t figure out any of the decompress/filetype info

sorry, but i was just told to come here to extract the music from homm2 and now i can’t do that, could u tell me what are the files’ names and do i need to convert them into other formats??? If I do, can u tell me some freeware that works good because i tried a lot of them and many of them disappoint me…good luck with the fheroes2! Btw, does somebody know something about refixes for other homm games like heroes 3 in the wake of gods???

Hey thanks for the info,

I know about fHeroes2. It’s a great project

This page is totally out of date and I’ve not put up half of what I know. I’m just looking for some free time to update it.

Don’t know if you know about fheroes2? Complete reimplementation of HOMM2 engine from scratch, and it works nicely. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fheroes2/

some_guy: See http://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5659 . UndeadHalfOrc has already done work in that area.

would you know anything about starting hero secondary abilities?

for example, making Sorceress start with something other than Navigation?

I was digging through some old files on a cleanup and I happened to come across something that I forgot all about! I vaguely recall digging through the main executable for the game and this is what I figured out on my cursory glance at the time.

00..04 - Creature ID (with null terminator e.g. "titn"\0)
5
6
7
8
09..10 - Gold Value
15 - 
16 - 
17..18 - Hit Points
19 - ?
20 - Speed (6 = Very Fast, 7, = Ultra Fast, 8 = Blazing, 9 = Instant)
21 - attack or defence
22 - attack or defence
23 - Speed Min
24 - Speed Max
25 - Number of shots

It's pretty bare information, but you should be able to find reference to "titn", which for me lies at offset 985243 (0xF089B) for Heroes II Gold v2.1. I might pick this up again soon if I can find the time. I also can't verify that it's 100%, but I would have modified data and then checked the results in-game, so it should be okay.

I don’t actually have much knowledge of this particular area of HoMMII. I get the feeling that stuff would be in the executable, however, but don’t go quoting me on that.

Try searching for the names of the creatures and look for numbers that match their statistics. I’ll try this myself if I get time and report on my HoMMII page

could you explain to me how to edit creature statistics and building costs and other variables like that?

i want to balance the game out as certain aspects are fairly strong when used in certain ways..
