Not sure, but I think, it should be possible. First of all you have to find the right file (perhaps ingameheroselect or palantir) and the right position in the file.
There should be the structure with the right number of layers. So you have to add some more layers and than you can test the new file.

It doesn't work :(
I added placeobjects with poname from Hero17 to Hero20.
Is there something more I should do?
<placeobject flags="62" depth="1" character="22" rotm00="0.677963" rotm01="0.000000" rotm10="0.000000" rotm11="0.677963" tx="-5.000000" ty="42.000000" red="0" green="255" blue="255" alpha="255"

Make sure you are not going out of the screen boundaries, (not sure if you are, just saying check that)... Does the game still launch and all after compiling and putting the apt in the correct place? Perhaps change an existing position to ensure that your apt is being read

Tried to change an existing position and it works, but still there aren't my new placeobjects...I'm wondering if I have to declare them in some other files...

Perhaps you have to edit all parts for this (flashlight, constfile, etc), but im not sure and i cant test that atm.
In two weeks time i finished my last exam, so i can try to implement that.

Oh right maybe the const file needs to be edited... Did you explain anywhere publicly how those two are linked or not? If ya did he could try it himself

@Gwanw if you tell me what are all the parts to edit I can try by myself. I found that FlashEffects are numbered as the heroes placeobjects, so I added them too. But nothing happened.
Is there a file where to set boundaries of the UI sections?

Nah you shouldn't have to edit the selection boundaries/geometry, the object which you are basing those things off (or the apt parts you copied) most likely have that part themselves
The Const file is most likely the thing that you need to edit...

I don't find nothing inside the const file that can help me. Maybe I'm searching in the wrong file?

Someone can tell me why my apt2xml doesn't work with Palantir.apt?
I used it without any problem with InGameHeroSelect.apt, but Palantir.apt doesn't get converted...

Finally I got my Palantir.apt converted, but as I edit xml, re-convert it into apt and then put it again into Palantir.big, the game crashes...
I think the problem is finalbig or xml2apt encoding, because I tried to repack Palantir.big with the "original" apt and the game still crashes.
Any idea?
I noticed that when I edited Palantir.big to put the new apt inside and overwrite the previous one, it changed the order of the files inside the .big file...may the problem be that?

Don't think so.. this is an odd one, not sure I can help solve it though...
What FinalBig are you using? (from where?) (version number if possible?)

FinalBIG Alpha Copyright 2003. There isn't any version number.
The strange thing is that it works fine with other files...
What do you mean with "from where"?

The problem is the converter. At the moment the converter didnt notice the "&" within a name.
