A Huge Human Thank You! I've only read one so far, about Taun, and I myself have completely played through the campaign for Elvin, but the story texts are simply magnificent, both in the Russian and English versions! Sometimes it even brings tears to your eyes :smile05:

I'm also looking for texts related to Tarnum. Did you manage to extract them after all?

Thank you very much! I was looking for scenarios to reread, as it's been a while. I used to play through campaigns just to find out what would happen next:smile26:

Thank you so much! I was already losing hope of ever finding a decent plot description, and here it is – not just decent, but wonderful!

Are there any texts about Heroes of Might and Magic III?

A lot of time has passed, but I recently stumbled upon this place again. It reminded me of the Chaos campaign. I noticed that at least one message is missing from it, specifically from mission 5, roughly in the middle, before the message that begins with the words "It was too late. Only the night watch was awake. ...", which discusses an argument. Here's the message where it's mentioned (I have the English version, so I'm providing the original and a loose translation):
It appears after capturing the Barbarian city, the closest one to you.

Thank you so much! At the time, while rereading everything, I couldn't understand what was missing (although I tried my best, but I still missed it). Give me some time, and I'll insert the text from the book version.)
If you notice anything else, I would be very grateful!

Bukowski's translations don't quite match the original. From a technical standpoint, there are definitely enough errors.
And when it comes to translation, sometimes it's better to do it yourself or put it into your own words. Because a literal translation isn't always correct in terms of meaning – we have different phrases, word combinations, and ways of expressing ourselves. And what an English-speaking American understands immediately might seem absurd to us, and vice versa.
Once, I translated a map created by a Chinese person and written in English... It would have been better to rewrite everything in my own words, but there were too many phrases that seemed absurd from our point of view, and to insert the text into the game, I couldn't shift lines, separators, etc.

Perhaps someone would be interested in listening to the audio file; if so, let me know, and I will upload the rest of the campaigns. The True Blade. https://youtu.be/T19YQTpaJ9g

I think there are perverts here who play for the story.

Yes, I am that pervert who plays Heroes (and not only) for the story!
I specifically registered just to say a HUGE thank you for the effort put into extracting the text from the game!
Not having the opportunity to replay the game right now, I was happy to immerse myself again in these wonderful stories, which have been in my heart for 20+ years 😍

Good evening, colleagues! Could you please tell me how to export character (hero) icons from Heroes of Might & Magic IV, for example, to the desktop for further editing in graphics editors like Photoshop or Paint.NET.

What programs are needed for exporting, and how to do it correctly.

Thank you for your attention.

If you need specific portraits, FaceTool will suffice, but it only works with the Equilibris mod. After specifying the path to equi.h4r for the program, a working window will appear where you can copy the portraits and their rings separately to the clipboard.

Thank you, colleague! Could you also tell me what size the portraits are exported in? (in pixels)
