I'd like to clarify one point regarding the update procedure itself?
Please let me know where I am wrong.
So:
0. 5. The most important part about the exe.
Based on https://github.com/Might-Magic-Heroes-5-5/MMH55/blob/master/Frameworks/NewCreatureFramework/NewCreatureFramework.yml#L28
Checked 0x006E1A20 and 0x006E1A21 (I have standard NCF heroes without other changes, where the number of creatures is 1000)
E8 03 (0x3e8 = 1000 - current value)
meaning if I want 3k for myself, I should set (0xbb8), so by analogy it will be

Simplifying all this, the new exe should differ from the old one by the 4 bytes mentioned above.
1. Overwriting types.xml (a new fresh pack containing a new file) -
-> then look for /GameMechanics/RefTables/Creatures.xdb#xpointer(/Table_Creature_CreatureType)
And a parallel db_id node to this one, where there are and a list of creatures.
Currently, standard creatures are listed there, then CREATURE_181 (and 180 is the thunder bird), and so on up to CREATURE_999.
Essentially p1 is xml expansion.
2. CreatureType
Two nodes below are lists like this,
3. Table_Creature_CreatureType via search, two nodes below, change the 3rd occurrence of ref_table_num_objs to X+1? (I didn't quite understand why 1000 if there are originally 999 creatures)?
4. GameMechanics\Creature\Creatures\Neutrals\Creature _XXX.xdb throw a million files here
5. UI\UIGameRoot\ xdb \ - expand by analogy
6. Cameras\Interface\HireCreatures\Creature_XXX.(Came ra).xdb -> add by analogy
7. create such files with clear content Scripts/creature_XXX.lua
8. Scripts/common.lua by analogy doFile("/scripts/creature_180.lua")
9. But as for index.bin, it's completely unclear.
If I manage to finish the work today, an auto-generator can be made for the first 8 points.
main question - DID I FORGET ANYTHING HERE?

If I don't do p9 (since I have no idea how, and I won't click 3k by hand), will it work? In theory, it's only for the editor, but will the creatures work normally?
