Posts from A program for determining luck/morality in Heroes 3!

1. Cranim.txt - This is a text file; it's hard to call it a script, let alone a program.
2. Cranim.txt is a module (part) of the program, more precisely an add-on to the program. By changing Cranim.txt we thereby make a change to the program.
3. But Cranim.txt

It only serves to speed up the animation, I think this is not a critical parameter, let alone equating it to the category of cheating, that's nonsense IMHO.

4) In reality, the program is clearly a cheat, as it modifies the game in some way (whether by changing the Cranim.txt file or not!!!), and anyone who claims otherwise can provide arguments to prove the opposite!:smile10:

Based on this, we can conclude that everyone who uses this program is a cheater!? Is that true or not?:confused: :eek:
Traffic Light and Cranim.txt essentially can perform the same functions!

5) Vitaly probably didn't know or realize that this program somehow affects the game's structure; he thought it only happened in the griffins scenario, as he wrote in his description, and he can be understood. Moreover, no one said before that the Cranim.txt program was a cheat!

Thoroughly analyze this program, and if the test is positive (if morale and luck can be repeated with 100% probability using it), consider the possibility of implementing it, with modifications for each tournament (possibly), so that everyone is on equal footing (as Banana suggested).

In reality, only a modified version of the Cranim.txt file introduces changes to the game. This is what vbn wrote about, and what everyone could verify for themselves using the example of the battle with the griffins. Both those who had this unmodified file and those who didn't have the file at all found that the unicorns did not blind the griffins, and it was impossible to achieve this by any means.

Not quite. The traffic light determines the moment in time when you need to click the mouse for morale/luck to trigger. The modified cranim hardcodes it into the battle. Moreover, it codes not only morale/luck but also the casting of spells by units, as well as the computer's turns. The unmodified cranim does nothing to the game.

In its original form, it is not cheat-like. It only became cheat-like (in the context of this tournament) after it was modified.

2AlexSpl:
And why specifically 888, and not 666? This program truly belongs to the category of devilish things.

I think we are primarily waiting for help from vbn himself, as he is the one who has already figured out the file. I looked at it yesterday, but I didn't really understand anything. He not only understood it, but also modified it intelligently, speeding up the animation. I think he knows how this file works and what its relationship is to the executable of the third Heroes game.

How can you prove that it's not a cheat? I think otherwise. Who is right?

You cannot judge the impact of Cranim.txt on changes to the game based on just one battle.
If you provide specific data from practical implementation across several (say 10) battles, moreover without using the file, using the modified file, and without the file, then that would be substantiated. For now, these are all your conjectures, which cannot be considered real.

You can only convince the community by proving you are right, not by conjectures.

How will you prove that it is not a cheat? I think otherwise. Who is right?
Where is it written that Cranim.txt cannot be edited and that in its original form it does not introduce changes? According to my information, it actually does introduce them!

And in general, how does it work, and if no one knows how, why was it allowed to be used on HP? Or are there still people who can explain in detail how this program can change the structure of the game, but are either too shy to tell the community, or simply don't want to be caught out.:cool:

In short, "a real mess"

I've used this file in several online tournaments, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Maybe I jumped to conclusions without fully understanding what makes this program considered a cheat. But if you call it a cheat, then you should call everyone who has this program a cheater too:mad:

In its unmodified form, the file does not change the game's structure. However, in this case, the file has been modified.

Where does it say that Cranim.txt cannot be edited and that it doesn't make changes in its original form? According to my information, it does!
