UpscaleCreatures_HoM&M5-ToE - upscale of textures for all creatures, the Cyclops-Death from the Dark Messiah scenario, and war machines to 1k.
UpscaleHeroes(DemonLordsNecromancersRangersWarlocks&FunObjects)_HoM&M5-ToE - upscale of textures for all heroes of the Demon Lord, Necromancer, Ranger, Warlock factions, and fun objects (tank and UFO) to 1k. Heroes of the Knight, Mage, Rune Priest, and Barbarian factions are not included in this upscale and are unlikely to be added.
The second mod was supposed to include all heroes, Sareth from the Dark Messiah scenario, and be part of the UpscaleCreatures_HoM&M5-ToE mod, but only half of the heroes were completed. The resource used for the upscale replaced the alpha channel (transparent background) with black color, making the upscale of textures with transparent backgrounds, which constitute the majority, unusable. For this reason, the mod is released separately.

The archive contains two mods (for creatures and heroes), NTCore 4gb_patch, screenshots, and a readme text file.
NTCore 4gb_patch - fixes x86 executable files to have 4 GB (instead of 2) of virtual memory on x64 platforms.
1. Extract 4gb_patch.exe from the archive.
2. Run 4gb_patch.exe as administrator and select the H5_Game.exe application file (the bin folder of the installed Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East), wait for it to finish.
3. Upon completion of the patch, a backup copy of the original executable file will be automatically created in the same folder.
Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East only uses 2 GB of virtual memory, which causes game crashes on large and very large maps, or when the map is overcrowded with objects. Mods for upscaling creatures and heroes increase the game's virtual memory consumption, which can lead to earlier game crashes. For reliability, you should use the NTCore 4gb_patch program. Even if you do not use mods, NTCore 4gb_patch will still have a positive effect on performance on x64 platforms.
