A couple of days ago, the open alpha test of the HD mod 5.0 (Online Lobby for HotA) started.

Modest video presentation (video tutorial)

update.

02/26/2018. The lobby server with simultaneous turns for SoD has been launched in alpha testing mode.
To play through the lobby with HotA, you need to update the HD mod to version 5.0 beta 40.
The server will operate in test mode for at least a month, after which either the service will become paid or I will close the project.

HW rules 1.38 is not compatible with the game through the lobby, so I created HW rules 1.38.2.
HW rules 1.38.2 is compatible with the lobby, it fixes some errors, and it has backward compatibility with 1.38 saves.
Download HW rules 1.38.2

HW rules 1.40 is compatible with the lobby.

I’ve been saying for a long time that turning this lobby into a Wargame chat is just a matter of time. :smile05:

I don’t know what was happening in Wargame. But now, in the Heroes & Might & Magic VII alpha, there’s a flexible and powerful ban system.

:smile04:

Well, if it's that simple, you're welcome. You can try to bypass the ban and find out if you'll have the opportunity to register infinitely. This kind of test and alpha trial will also be useful. Just to avoid wasting time, ask to be banned right away.

I've been saying for a long time that turning this lobby into a Wargame chat is just a matter of time.

In short, that won't happen. First, there will be a group of moderators who are interested in preventing this. Second, I, in turn, will provide them with all possible means.

A couple of days ago, the open alpha test for HD mod 5.0 (online lobby for HotA) started.

Modest video presentation (video tutorial)
Download offline update to the fifth alpha
Download HW_rules 1.40 plugin
What is not in the video:
1. Access to the lobby is currently blocked for foreigners (more precisely, for the English version of HotA on a non-Russian Windows).
2. The minimum resolution to enter the lobby is 830x664, but the higher (wider), the better. The lobby window interface is adaptive, but it is more optimized for widescreen displays.
3. Plugin HW_rules 1.38 (and earlier) is not compatible with the game through the online lobby! Plugin HW_rules 1.40 is fully compatible.

I will also reiterate that the offline update must be applied only to the installed HD mod 4.208 RC4 or RC5.

Come and hang out, play, invite your friends. Have fun testing!
For any problems and suggestions, you can write here.

Added after 8 hours 55 minutes
Yes, I forgot to say:

1. For SoD 5.0 Alpha, it is absolutely identical to the current release version,
so you can safely play on it in SoD without any risks.

2. On the 5.0 alpha, you can perfectly play HotA via TCP/IP (through Hamachi, etc.) against a player with the latest released version of HD. They are completely compatible. The risks are no greater than when switching to a new release version.

So don't be afraid to try it.

I tried installing it on SoD; it installed well (everything matches in the launcher, 5.0 alpha 44), but after going into the multiplayer section and following the instructions, the game crashes without any crash logs.

Everything works fine in HotA.

It's just a lobby for HotA, right?

The lobby is only for hotkeys, right?

Based on this phrase, one might think it's also suitable for SoD.

Identical to the release version. It doesn't have a lobby, and neither does this one for Soda.

Alpha is identical to the current release version = identical to 4.xxx. That is, the latest non-alpha version that everyone is playing.
The lobby is only for HotA, but you can simply place the alpha HD in the folder - SoD will work with it just as it does with 4.xxx.
