I have a licensed version of Heroes 5, version 1.0. I followed the instructions on the link /topic/397/ and entered the data into the game. Nothing happened. The console does not appear. What am I doing wrong? Should I install license 1.5 and try it there? Please provide instructions

Here is a complete guide.
To use the codes, you need to activate the console. To do this, find the file autoexec_a1.cfg in the game directory, in the profiles folder.
Open it with Notepad and add the following line to the end of the file:

setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

As a result, the end of the file should look like this:

//==================================
// Startup
mainmenu
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

After that, you will most likely need to add the following line to the file input_a1.cfg:

bind show_console '`'

so that the game knows what console is and it looks like this:

// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
bind close_window 'ESC'
bind confirm_action 'ENTER'
bind confirm_action 'NUM_ENTER'
bind show_console '`'

After that, the console will work. The line bind show_console '`' must be added to two files (input_a1.cfg), the first in "Heroes of Might and Magic V/profiles",
the second in "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Hammers of Fate/Profiles/Owner" (Owner is the account name)

The console will work, but the codes will not. To make the codes work, enter enable_cheats in the console, and you will see a message that the codes are active, but this reduces the playability of the game, but this is not important.

Save the file. Run the game. During the game, call the console with the [`] key and enter the codes:

add_all_spells - All spells for the selected player
add_gold # - Add # gold
add_money # - Add # gold
clear_money - Reset all resources
set_hero_luck_morale X Y - Set luck to (X) and morale to (Y), for example: set_hero_luck_morale 5 3.
add_exp # - Add exp to the selected hero
show_player_money # - Show how many resources another player has, it is convenient to spy, for example: show_player_money 2.
show_hero_mp - Show detailed information about the movement points of the selected hero
add_army town nTownID, bUpgrade - Fills the city with all heroes. nTownID can be:

the console doesn't work. I did as you said
added setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

and added // obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
bind close_window 'ESC'
bind confirm_action 'ENTER'
bind confirm_action 'NUM_ENTER'
bind show_console '`'

bind show_console '`' - added to two files as you said.

in C:\Documents and Settings\1\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles\Net\input.cfg

and in C:\Program Files\Nival Interactive\Heroes of Might and Magic V\profiles\default_profile\input.cfg

the console does not appear.

can you provide a link to the already patched game, i.e. where you can immediately press the tilde and the console will appear?

you said to write enable_cheats in the console and I will be able to enter codes. I wrote this and the computer says that it does not know the command or something like that in English.

Great! Everything works, I played the console version a long time ago, then the disc got scratched, and now there are new wonders! In the second campaign, the enemy hero has a "Warrior" difficulty, and he always has +50 more archers than I do, and so on. The game is a licensed version, and I bought it not too long ago. If I have 10 archers, and he has 20, and I have 40-50, versus his 100, I still don't understand how the archers accumulate faster in the enemy hero's city through quests. Instead of enjoying reading an interesting story again, I spent a couple of days grinding with the enemy's army, which increases its troops depending on the number of my troops.

This is a well-known fact that the AI does this!

The most surprising thing in the mission is the conquest: my hero has a town of the Haven faction, and all the resources surrounding this town are taken from the right side. All the buildings on the top of the map are open, and it's already week 4 with 34 archers, while my town simply doesn't have time to develop. Is this even possible? And on the map, there are 260 zombie warriors that you can't get past or around. They brazenly rush through and damage my hero all the time, even with the superior number of archers. Since all the buildings are open, there are also more other units. This doesn't even take into account the hero on the left side of the map, from the Haven town.

I remember that 5 years ago, it didn't take so many weeks to train archers and other units.

There are mods to improve the AI! If I remember correctly, it's called No_Cheats_AI.

I think this is a specific version of the game, and I'm not sure where I can download an old, licensed image. I have the original disc and box, but this version has significant difficulties with the gameplay.

Hello friends! Please help me. I followed all the instructions on the forum for installing the console. But, unfortunately, when I launched the game, the console didn't open so I could activate the cheats. I've attached screenshots; please take a look and see if something is wrong.
