vbn;122044Question:
Can you force the Digger to work on a save file made during a campaign playthrough using some powerful spells?
For some reason, it only processes one cycle, and then it picks up the last save from a single-player map and starts messing with it....

Answer:
Rename the extension of the campaign save file from CGM to GM1, and start digging.
After the operation is complete, don't forget to restore the original extension.

__________________________________________________
Please advise! Maybe my bees are wrong? :) In my case, the campaign saves only have an extension in the game menu. You can't rename the extension there. In the "Games" folder, campaign saves don't have an extension. (Single-player saves have the GM1 extension.) If I add the GM1 extension to the file name, the file will be called 111.GM1.CGM1 in the game menu - nothing changes. Why is that?:confused:

It seems the problem is this: you need to go to Tools - Folder Options - View and uncheck the box in the "Hide extensions for registered file types" field!!!

Guys, please help! Something’s wrong with the game – I launch it, and it just loads into the Castle and that’s it! It doesn’t load the Tavern, even though it used to work fine. If anyone knows what’s going on, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

PEOPLE!
Please tell me… Where can I Download the OLD version of the game??
I don't understand why this information isn't available anywhere. HOW is it possible that it’s not even here –
/forum/section/44/
It clearly says – the section is called
"Download - Heroes Of Might And Magic 3" (strangely enough, there isn't even the new one here, but I need the old one).

Google doesn't help either, and I don't have much time.

What is meant by the term "OLD"? :confused:

I use THIS and I'm happy with it.

That's exactly the version I had, and now it stopped working. I'm doing the same thing, and nothing helps, not even restarting Windows. Instead of loading the game, it tries to make a move – it clicks on the "next turn" button and stops with a message saying that not all my heroes have finished their turns and asks if I really want to make the next move. I read that people used to complain that it didn't work, but the OLD version worked normally for them. It's incredible that the old version has disappeared from the internet... I need to find versions 2.00 or 1.53, ANY version before this one. Otherwise, if I start manually managing the heroes, my hands will start to hurt...

Switch the language to English!!!!! The version doesn't matter here.

I apologize for interrupting, but I had a thought regarding all these "easy mode" tools. Why are there always problems with them, either because they are poorly written or incompatible with the Heroes files? Couldn't a program be written (or maybe it already exists) that could calculate the shortest and most cost-effective path to achieve a specific goal, like a modern chess program? You input the save file, and the program solves it and prints out the solution.
In general, it seems possible to manually find all the heroes; I once found both a Dragon and Jela in about an hour during a modest tournament.

What do you mean? The keyboard layout? How could that be related?

If you mean the name in the text box of the hero editor, it matches the name of the Heroes window...
I guess I'll have to write my own hero editor, one that won't have glitches...

Why might it happen that the desired hero doesn't appear in the tavern? The "hero digger" doesn't help (it was digging all night while I was sleeping), and there are no heroes of the same TYPE in the neighboring slots. I leveled up a hero, and naturally, to speed things up, I dismissed him to buy him again tomorrow in another place... There's nowhere to attack monsters and escape. And tomorrow, it's a big disappointment... the hero isn't in the tavern... he doesn't appear there at all, no matter how many you buy. And the hero was good, so what to do? Maybe something needs to be changed in the game so that there's a possibility for him to appear? Well, are there any other factors that influence this? This is a question about the random number generator, and if someone knows what causes a hero not to appear in the tavern, and someone else doesn't, then for fairness, such things should be KNOWN TO EVERYONE.

Perhaps this dismissed hero came to the tavern to play against the computer. ;)

Perhaps this dismissed hero came to the tavern to see the computer.

One replay from the previous turn didn't help; maybe it's because I just pressed "Next turn." I'll try again... by changing some actions from the previous turn.

Or could there be other reasons why a free hero doesn't want to appear in the tavern?

Are there any other reasons why a free hero might not appear in the tavern?

Or is that even possible? 0o..
As far as I remember, a hero cannot be recruited if:
1) He is sitting at a computer in the tavern.
2) He is disabled in the map settings.
Hmm, I don't remember if external prisons count or not...??^^
