• The package should definitely include a user folder in the end, with all current settings and other content that the player fills in (like it is done when installing browsers, for example). The user folder is exactly where you can save the settings of the hero interface, CD Data, a set of templates, packs, and other things that are regulated by the user and are permanent. This way, the problem of inconvenience in setting new settings after each mod installation will be solved. And, accordingly, the uninstaller should have a request form to delete the user settings. Otherwise, I recently uninstalled a mod, and the Heroes3.vid file, which is half a gigabyte in size, was deleted, and I had to search for it on the internet and copy it again... The same situation occurs with the list of templates. By the way, it (the one that is displayed in the game) needs to somehow implement alphabetical order. I have some kind of chaos (I redid it manually, of course, by adding one folder-template to the Templates folder at a time).
• In the launcher interface itself, the mod version should be displayed somewhere in an About section (and not in the window title), with up-to-date links (for updates), which are currently in the Info and Help sections. However, the mod version should also be visible in the game itself. An alert that appears at the start about version mismatch should have a link that can be copied or used immediately for an update.


• The uninstaller warns: "WARNING! The program will delete the _HD3_Data folder completely, along with the settings file, all plug-in modules, and templates."
• Templates in the list are sorted in alphabetical order
• An auto-updater has appeared

- This was implemented just 2-3 days after your message.

It's just that I got lazy to write them. And sometimes I don't notice the reaction, and the motivation disappears.
Sometimes? You don't notice?
And what do I have to do with it?

Do you want me to respond to each of your requests and implement them immediately? Pay me a salary that I could live on.
For example, I (probably) don't have as much time for HD as you and most of the locals have for playing the third game.
I physically cannot respond to all the people who write to me with requests and reports, while continuing to work on HD.
What complaints can there be, damn it?

I read and take into account absolutely all requests and reports about HD. I may not agree with some of them, some may not be done, I may forget something. This is what a hobby project, made by one person, relying on pure enthusiasm, is like.

The yellow frame around the battlefield window (and it seems to also have a shadow) has not been removed/reduced, blocking the visibility of the resource panel.
What does "has not been" mean? No one is going to remove the frame and shadow that I specifically made to maintain the overall style, and no one will. Increase the vertical resolution, and the resource panel will be visible in the battle. That's all!
Also, it is necessary to complete the quick troop dismissal with one button in the city and in the mine.
I don't understand. Can you be more specific? Now you can move the army with one click, and at the same time select the unit to be left behind.

When loading a password-protected save, 3-4 strange windows pop up.
I already wrote that such messages only annoy me. I am not a telepath.

And it's somehow like isolation, that a player with any other version cannot connect to 3.25. Let him connect. Or is this a scheme to tell the player that there is 3.25? It's uncomfortable.
A player with HD+ can connect to any other HD+ user, regardless of their HD version. (a working HD+ is available in versions starting from 3.17)
And how, for example, are you going to play with password-protected saves against 2.98, SoD? So why are you surprised by the lack of connection between HD+ and non-HD+?
With HD without a plus (HD turned off), you can connect to any SoD.

An unpleasant moment was discovered (especially since this happened in a tournament game): when the results of the battle are announced with the number of killed, the timer ticks.
In HD+, yes. I've already fixed it, it will be in 3.26

Judging by the negativity of your last message, you should use 2.98 and forget about 3.xx, because it is so irreparably buggy.

***

Nevertheless. I haven't received a single crash log for 3.25 yet,
and about this:
rebellious
In 3.25, crashes occur, several times per game, - the game simply closes - both in battle and otherwise.
...
When loading a password-protected save, 3-4 strange windows pop up. And so - every time. The map does not open at all. Even the corresponding request does not appear.
And there was a case where I loaded a save - and the password was not requested...
no one has written anything except you. Perhaps this indicates that everyone doesn't care about 3.25, but I will still assume that this indicates its stability.
