Hello everyone.

I decided to fix the errors in the BUKI texts, which cause constant crashes, empty dialog boxes, and text duplication in the Linux version of the game.

I unpacked the H3BITMAP.LOD file, compared all the text files with the English version, and fixed everything I found: I removed unnecessary variables, added missing variables, restored the text formatting to match the original, added missing lines, and added missing service characters.

It's a lot of work. Now it's time to pack everything back, and that's where the problems started.
At first, the game simply wouldn't start. I found 4 problematic files, fixed 3 of them, but the fourth one refuses to work with the game, oh well.
Now the game starts, but it crashes either when loading a campaign or when entering a castle.

Help me figure it out if anyone knows how. I'm testing everything on the Windows version.
