solitaire345 Wrote:I found a table which holds setup of arrow towers. It is located at 0x63CF88 and stores the following values:

Code:

00000000 CreatureID      dd ?                    ; base 10
00000004 MainTowerX      dd ?                    ; base 10
00000008 MainTowerY      dd ?                    ; base 10
0000000C LowTowerX       dd ?                    ; base 10
00000010 LowTowerY       dd ?                    ; base 10
00000014 UpTowerX        dd ?                    ; base 10
00000018 UpTowerY        dd ?                    ; base 10
0000001C MissileName  dd ?                    ; offset (00000000)

Here's a function to change graphics of any town. The paremeters are:
x1 - town type; x2 - shooter ID; x3-x8 - X; Y coordinates for turrets (middle, lower, upper); x9 - pointer to missile def.

A value of -1 means "do not change"

Code:

!?FU1;
!!FU&x1<0|x1>8:E;
!!VRv1:S4*8*x1+6541192; 0x63CF88

!!if&x2<>-1;
  !!MA:Xx2/?v2;
  !!VRv2:&4;
  !!IF&v2<>4:M^Trying to set nonshoting creature as arrow tower. Exiting to avoid crash^;
  !!FU&v2<>4:E;
  !!UN:Cv1/4/x2;
!!en;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x3<>-1:Cv1/4/x3;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x4<>-1:Cv1/4/x4;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x5<>-1:Cv1/4/x5;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x6<>-1:Cv1/4/x6;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x7<>-1:Cv1/4/x7;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x8<>-1:Cv1/4/x8;
!!VRv1:+4; !!UN&x9<>-1:Cv1/4/x9;

The pointers to missile names (parameter 9) are these (use numbers from the first column):

Code:

6686972 (0x6608FC) titan's bolt
6686984 (0x660908) Ice elemental's shard
6686996 (ox660914) Mage's missile
6687008 (0x660920) Catapult's rock
6687020 (0x66092C) Ballista's bolt
6687032 (0x660938) lizardman's arrow
6687044 (0x660944) Cyclop's boulder
6687056 (0x660950) orc's axe
6687068 (0x66095C) Medusa's arrow
6687080 (0x660968) lich's missile
6687092 (0x660974) Gog's fireball
6687104 (0x660980) Halfling's stone
6687116 (0x66098C) Gremlin's ball
6687128 (0x660998) Elf's arrow
6687140 (0x6609A4) Zealot's missile
6687152 (0x6609B0) Crosbowman's arrow
8002324 (0x7A1B14) Dracolich's missile

Notes:
1. There is no backup, so once changed, the setup will remain until h3era.exe is restarted.
2. Changing creature does not affect the power of arrow towers.
3. Using this function after BA0 trigger will have no effect in battle, because that table is copied to temporary location for the duration of combat.
4. creature images are cropped, so some creatures will look wrong (like this).
