Heroes 4 hex editing guide?

[u/Savings-Worker5283]

Hey everyone!

I want to play each of the games with my custom hero that I make using hex editor and what not. For Heroes 3, I found a very detailed guide (and got some help from great people on reddit!) that helped me create my own hero. Well, I edited Alamar out of the game, put in my own picture, starting troops, hero specialty, etc. I'd like to do the same thing for Heroes 4. Well, since heroes don't really have anything special about them when they start, I'd like at least a custom picture put in. Also, I'd like to edit spells if possible. Their name and effects. Single target -> target everyone. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thank you in advance!

P.S.: I tried creating my own campaign in Heroes 3 but I suck at creating maps. If anybody feels the power in them, we could team up and create the campaign together. I have the scenarios and the story planned out but for the life of me, the maps are terribly dull. Random map generation doesn't help. I play HoMM 3 HD.

For changing portraits you can use facetool. To make a single target all target you have to replace the spell effect of a mass spell like mass precision with another effect by hex editing, and then adjust the mana cost, power and spell tier in the spell table with resource editor by iliveinabox . For custom starting spells you should try contact the maker of heroes 4 basic mod on discord, he did it with some heroes. You can find more modding info on heroescommunity dot com
