How does one connect to a player who has a chess timer with a regular copy of "The Shadow of Death"?

Exactly! No need to mess with the game!

I will implement the confirmation of digging with the D button.
I selectively set a resolution from my own numbers that are not in the list; the game launches in windowed mode, and when I press F4, it displays:
"Full screen mode is not available at resolution XXX"
As it should be, and which is perfectly logical. The list contains resolutions supported by your monitor; therefore, if your monitor does not support, say, a resolution of 999x999, the game will not be able to force it to work in that mode. However, the game will still be available in a window.

I am not going to eliminate the WT (Wild Things) creatures. The HD mod will not introduce any changes to the original gameplay. I may start working on my own gameplay mod, but it will be a separate project (if it even happens), and it will not be an attempt to create another online competitive mod. Although, it will not be specifically designed for single-player only either.

I will think about the quick key combinations. I will make them even more similar to those in The Elder Scrolls/Witcher, make it an optional feature to choose a The Elder Scrolls/Witcher-like style, or make them customizable.

Medium_HP, in the Heroes3HDSetup.exe utility, in the "Your HoMM3 version" field, select "GoG.com Complete (No CD)."


I tried it, but it doesn't help; it doesn't recognize the heroes3.exe file. In other words, only Heroes32.exe is present in Executables. After running Heroes3HDSetup.exe, Heroes32.exe_HD.exe appears, which requires a disc when launched.
I checked it with a freshly extracted version from the archive (named Heroes of Might and Magic III [Geedunk].rar, with a folder inside called Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete) - the result is the same. :smile32:

get rid of the timer! there are turn-based (TB) and turn-timed (TT) modes for those who like them. don't mix everything together. but adding an option to pause the timer when passing the turn, like in TB, would be very convenient so you don't have to sit and wait for your turn to come).

Medium_HP, I'll download this Geedunk and take a look...

Hey everyone, I need some help. I'm redesigning the trade window and realized that the "receive from ally" button is unnecessarily large (it definitely doesn't fit the new design). It needs to be replaced with an icon instead of text. Therefore, I'm asking you to suggest concepts or sketches for an icon for "receive from ally." I have some ideas, but I won't share them yet so as not to limit your imagination. Thanks!

It seems the issue is with the 4.0 executable. I tried replacing it with the one I got from Rebellius (it works for him), but it didn't help. The setup recognizes it, creates a file called SoD.exe_HD.exe, doesn't ask for the disc, but there's no generator and no signs of the mod working. It's just the regular SoD (resolution 1280x1024, 16-bit). It looks like I need to download a different SoD entirely. Does anyone have a link to a version that's guaranteed to work?
Another question: could the problem be that I tried installing ND (version 0.91, I think) back in February? It worked then, but I haven't used it since. Could something from it still be lingering in my system and interfering?

Your Heroes3.exe 4.0 is not supposed to be seen by the HD mod, but the included Heroes32.exe (3.2) should work perfectly, which it does—at least with licensed (or copies of) Russian SoD and Complete, English SoD and Complete, GoG.com Complete, the Polish Gold Edition, and the Czech Complete.
If you need a fully standalone version in English (with all videos, not requiring a disc/image in the drive), you should look for Heroes of Might and Magic Complete (GoG) (GoG.com). Just not on GoG.com itself because you'd have to pay; get it from some torrents instead. If you need the Russian version, look for the Buka disc image.

Download it if you want, but in any case, I'm already pulling this Geedunk from torrents and will see what kind of thing it is.

If you want, download it, but in any case, I'm already downloading this Geedunk from torrents and will see what it is.
The video clips aren't necessary; I just need it to be standalone. I'll wait and see if you manage to get Geedunk working. Just let me know if it turns out to be a dead end.

ERROR: if you minimize the game and, during the sound of turn passing, click the mouse button anywhere on the screen, it won't switch back to the game – you'll have to close the game using the task manager.

Pradromalo, thank you. Does this only happen in [32-bit] mode, or also in [automatic 16-bit] and [standard]?

Medium_HP, I downloaded [Geedunk] (820MB archive, 883MB after extraction) - it's the same as the GoG Complete, and HD works fine for me with it, so I can't say what the problem is and how to fix it...

Could you please clarify, is the executable version in this archive 4.0? Is this executable visible in the Executable list during the Heroes of Might and Magic installation? What is the name of the launch file that appears after the Heroes of Might and Magic installation?

This version includes game 4.0 because any complete package is version 4.0. Copy the HD files into the game folder, run Heroes3HDSetup.exe, and you'll see Heroes32.exe in the Executables folder. Select the resolution, and in "Your HoMM3 version," choose GoG.com Complete (No CD). Be sure to click OK or Apply and Launch. To play the HD version, run Heroes32.exe_HD.exe; to play the non-HD version, run Heroes3.exe version 4.0.

I have a follow-up question. You mentioned that when launching Heroes32.exe_HD.exe, it requires a disc. How does it do that? Does a Windows window pop up, or does the game launch, and then a Heroes window appears on top of the main menu? If it's the second option, does this happen with a modified resolution or with the standard 800x600 resolution?

I have a counter-question. You say that when launching Heroes32.exe_HD.exe, it requires a disc. How does it do that? Does a Windows window pop up, or does the game launch and then a Heroes window appears on top of the main menu? If it's the second option, does this happen with a modified resolution or with the standard 800x600?

It's the second option (Heroes window, then the game runs, but only allows multiplayer, without hotseat and the ability to host). I tried different resolutions.

The most interesting thing is that I moved the same archive with the complete package to the C drive (it was previously on the D drive, like the other Heroes versions and the working XP) - and everything started working, it doesn't ask for a disc, the mod works, it's a miracle...

Some nuances have emerged. When launching HD, the remaining mana of heroes is not visible in battle, and the names of some objects are missing (for example, the basilisk pit in the fortress has no name). Is this happening for everyone, or is it another unique bug for me?

P.S. Well, I think I've figured everything out. The mana wasn't showing because of an old Data folder that I inserted after the new extraction.
The installation problems are not due to the discs, but somewhere in the system. I have two, both XP, I mainly use the one on the D drive, HD cannot be installed from it. If I boot the second system (from the C drive), extract the complete package from it, and install HD, then everything works, and then I can launch it from both systems.

I've always played with this bug.

Sometimes, the hero's mana isn't displayed during battle.
