Yes, theoretically, such a possibility doesn't exist. But I suggested this option because types.xml is partially responsible for displaying the UI.
Zehyr from the original or from the Lords?
...or suggest a way to find (and replace in the original game) the image of a mage?
,Mооnst@r, thank you very much!
Hello! It's me again, and I have another question about skills. Not long ago, you provided an answer on how to "exclude" certain skills from the game. You wrote that it is necessary to "zero them out" in the notepad and showed an example. I encountered a problem, which is that the "program" description in the notepad looks completely different. It doesn't seem possible to make the changes you described here. Perhaps there is another way? Below is an example of what the "program description" of a skill looks like (other skills are structured in a similar way).

Um, what's the difference between this and what I posted?
I looked at it again. Yes, there's nothing mentioned about "zeros." Sorry. The last lines (which contain information about the factions) are missing in my version. Are these differences due to the game versions? 1.6 vs. 2.1 - 3.1? Or should the faction lines be added to the notepad file? I think I'm starting to understand.
And, I apologize, I have a few more questions. If you know and can answer them briefly (so as not to waste your time), then:
1. How do I add an ability from one creature to another? I don't see any information about creature abilities in the files in the "Creatures" folder. To be more precise, some lines are present (like the resurrection of archangels), but some are completely missing (for example, the immunity to magic of black dragons or the immunity of undead to mind control).
2. How do I change the levels of creatures? For example, I want to make monk-inquisitors level 4 creatures, and griffins and royal griffins level 5 creatures. I changed the appropriate line in the notepad file (as I believe), but there is no result in the game.
3. How do I create/activate a mod folder? I created the "UserMODs" folder, put an archive named "data.pak" in it, which has the same folder structure as the original archive. It didn't work. Is additional software needed? Replacing the modified files with the original ones helped, but this is probably not a very convenient and certainly not a fast way to modify the game.
0. I have a lot of blocks with zeros in the SkillPrerequisits block; they need to be removed. You have two of them.
1-2. Go to GameMechanics/Creatures/Creature/Race/Creature Name.xdb. Copy the same folder structure and the file itself; in the file, find the Abilities block and add the same abilities as the other one... or better yet, check out this guide; it shows how to modify a creature.

3. Mods with the .pak extension are placed only in /data/, mods with the .h5u extension are placed in UserMODs. Mods with the .h5c extension are placed in UserCampaigns, and mods with the .h5m extension are placed in Maps.
The difference is that the editor can see .pak mods. The others cannot. And yes, don't name your .pak folder "data." To avoid conflicts.
Well, in most cases, everything seems clear. I'll take a look and try to modify it further. Thank you again!
And I'll bother you again. I wouldn't ask this question, but I doubt I'll find the answer anywhere else. Maybe you can help here too, because I don't understand anything anymore. Abilities. The "Abilities" block. It's missing. I watched the Remix guide on YouTube, re-examined a bunch of folders in the "data" archive, including creature files with characteristics and everything else. The blocks with abilities and skills are completely missing. Even the phoenix, from which Remix borrowed "resurrection" for the gremlin. It's empty. I downloaded another game build. The same thing. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Are there any other possibilities? Maybe someone else has encountered this.
Could you please provide the path you used to search for the file, sir!
data - GameMechanics - Creature - Creatures. Then, there are folders with the names of the factions, including the neutral ones, inside which are files with the characteristics of the creatures. Is this not the correct path?
For example, the Phoenix file:

There is no mention of abilities. Shouldn't there be a line "Abilities" here?

In general, it should work.
Try a) Adding the ... block with abilities after the Visual block.
b) Configure the advanced editor (Heroes 5 Forum => Mapmaking => FAQ), select the Creature table, and open the properties there by double-clicking.
That's interesting. Thank you! I'll try it.

I checked the topics you mentioned and looked around, but I couldn't figure anything out. It seems I didn't understand the connection between the mapmaking instructions and modifying creatures. Could you please describe the editor configuration process in more detail? As for the first method, I tried it when I was watching the Remix stream (when they added the phoenix's resurrection ability). It didn't help. I really don't understand. Do I have some kind of special version of Heroes? Are some elements missing that would allow me to view creature abilities? Or is all of this only available in versions 3.0 or 3.1? I don't understand.
