Does anyone know how to edit the stats of creatures? P.S.: Detailed instructions would be appreciated.

Heroes IV resource explorer

Author: Alexey Belov

A utility for extracting campaigns, music, videos, graphics, and text files from the resource files of Heroes IV (campaigns can then be edited as regular maps, and text files can be saved in a convenient format). It also allows you to modify text files and repack the modifications into resource files. It allows you to create mods. The application process takes place in three stages:

1) Finding the desired file: through File - Open, select the appropriate resource file (with the .h4r extension) and select the desired files (you can select a group at once by holding down the Shift key).

2) Extraction: in Action, select Extract current (to extract only the selected files) or Extract All (to extract all files displayed on the screen). After that, a corresponding subdirectory will be created in the extracted subdirectory (according to the name of the extracted object), where the extracted files will be saved. (For example, if you extract monster images, a subdirectory called actor_sequence will be created.)

3) Conversion: through Plugins, select the desired plugin. (For example, the Image converter plugin is used to convert images). Then the plugin window opens, in which you perform the necessary manipulations and save the result in a "digestible" format (for example, an image can be saved as a *.bmp file).
