General:

[ ] (Author: Sav) Fixed a bug in the original game with rumors in the tavern, which could cause crashes in the game.

[+] The original color mode has been returned to the HD settings, which can be used with the Bourn/GrayFace 32-bit patch.
[+] Costumes have been added back to the game. For now, in the form they were in version 2.98.

Minor internal changes.

Tournament module:

[ ] (Author: Sav) Fixed a bug in the original game with a custom clone in battle.
[ ] (Author: Sav) Fixed a bug in the original game with damage from ranged towers (only SoD online HD+Tm vs. HD+Tm, as well as the refugee camp fix).
[ ] Fixed bugs in the original game that caused desynchronization and glitches in the new scenario settings for the host and joining players in multiplayer.
(It is enough to have HD+Tm for the host, however, when playing HD+Tm host vs. SoD, the SoD player will not see changes in the settings.)
Now the host does not need to wait for the player to join, but can immediately start setting the desired settings.

The automatic map error correction mechanism has been significantly improved (splitting of heroes, gray cities, heroes controlled by multiple players, etc.).

In multiplayer, the game (HD+Tm host) now automatically determines whether a player has connected with the latest version of HD.
And if so, the game will run with fixed game bugs (peeking, selling artifacts, refugee camp, clone, damage from ranged towers), and players will have access to optional password-protected saves and a timer that starts after clicking OK.

The choice of alliances has been removed from the general settings and moved to the RMG settings.
[+] The choice of alliances in RMG is now available when playing HD+Tm host vs. SoD.
[+] The choice of paths in RMG is now available when playing HD+Tm host vs. SoD.
[+] The game remembers the RMG settings and in-game HD options when the game starts and automatically sets them for the next game.
[+] The game remembers which type of scenario (RMG or not) was selected when the game starts and automatically opens the appropriate tab for the next game.
[+] Password-protected saves have been added.
When starting a new game in multiplayer, when selecting the corresponding option, each player enters their password (max. - 16 characters).
After that, any save or generated map of this game can only be loaded if all players enter their correct passwords.
The original game/editor will simply not see/be able to read such saves/maps.
Thus, for online play, it no longer matters whether it is possible to launch multiple instances of the game and map editor.
[+] In multiplayer HD+Tm vs. HD+Tm, players will not be able to use the non-original graphic file 'terra incognita'.
[+] In multiplayer HD+Tm vs. HD+Tm, during the game in the scenario information window, players can see the current enabled in-game HD options.
(for example, a joining player can make sure that the game is running with password-protected saves).

The 'daily saves' option is disabled by default and is not saved when restarting. That is, if it is needed, it must be checked manually each time.
[+] Right-clicking on an item in the list of maps/saves will display a window with the full name of the map/save (these names do not always fit completely into the list field, especially when using daily saves).

Displaying hero movement points in multiplayer is only available when playing HD+Tm vs. HD+Tm.

Russian Mega Pack:
[+] The 'ABinSoD' patch has been integrated, adding to SoD a) a random map generator, b) the Conflux town, c) the working 'Armageddon's Blade' campaign.
