Posts from Narron's Visual Solutions 3.0 for Heroes V

The mod package includes the “NVS 3.0 Compendium”, where you can study the work in detail.

NVS 3.0 is more than a graphics mod published by Narron. It is an enormous four-year effort, into which the author poured a great deal of energy, free time and money.

Modding masters took part in the work on NVS: Zobr, Zahar, Khannik, Rommy and samurai — their contribution to the project was the most significant.

You can read more about the mod, thank the author and discuss it here.

Installation instructions

1. Extract the contents of the “NVS_3.0_RU.zip” archive into the root folder of Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East (Russian edition: “Повелители Орды”) version 3.1, replacing all the inner folders and files the system offers to replace.

   1.1. Players who used NVS 1.0 and/or NVS 2.0: delete the old builds from the game's root folder.

2. Before launching the game, open the “bin” folder inside the game's root folder — it contains the “LaaHack.exe” utility and instructions for using it.
3. Read the instructions and patch “H5_Game.exe” and, optionally, “H5_MapEditor.exe” — the map editor.
4. Launch the game.

Important!

After installing NVS 3.0, do not load old saved games — the game will crash. This happens because of the difference between the new game resources contained in the modification and the old game resources stored in your old saves.

Note: if you wish, you can delete the modules you do not need — archives with the “pak” extension — from the “data” folder after extracting the whole mod into the game's root folder.
