Planning an IWD-style HoF mod for BGEE/BG2EE

Tisamon

So, a very elementary question: is there an easier way to change CRE files in accordance with IWD HoF rules than going over each and every one of the 4600+ CRE entries manually? E. g.: according to HoF rules, the creatures have their base hp x 3 + 80. Do I have to change each monster manually, or...?

PS: Yes, there are obvious exceptions to the rule (joinable NPCs). But I'm interested in the global method, if existant.

(1) learn what WEIDU code is if you don't already.

(2)
COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP ".*\.cre" override WRITE_SHORT 0x24 (THIS*3 + 80) WRITE_SHORT 0x26 (THIS*3 + 80) BUT_ONLY

Thanks, David. In fact, I figured it out (in part) by studying this mod: https://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/19928/release-difficulty-and-tweak-mod-ver-6/
