It's definitely not an internet connection issue. I have two different providers, and both have stable connections. Everything works fine in 1v1 games...

Perhaps the problem lies with the person who is passing the information to you.

Most players use a pirated, rather than a licensed, version of the game...
Therefore, when patching the game, installing expansions, templates, files, and other stuff, it might malfunction due to the pirated version. The solution: when creating a random map, on a specific template, you should leave the settings window open instead of the hero and castle selection window...
It sounds funny, but practice shows that keeping the settings window open before clicking the "start game" button helps to ensure the map is created correctly...

I play the licensed version from a disc, and even when leaving the settings window open, the template still creates a different map, even though all other templates were deleted except for the one I need.

The problem might be with the person who's sending you the data.

It's not him; I tested it with different opponents, and I don't have any ping issues.

We couldn't play together in a group of three or four via GameRanger.
We can enter the game, and the map loads fine, but then my turn doesn't come. I tried using two different internet providers. Could it be due to the mod?
If anyone has encountered a similar issue, please let me know.

It turns out that GameRanger has many of its own quirks...
• When creating a room or joining one, the system often states that your Hamachi (network client) - Agnitum Outpost (software firewall) combination may be causing connection issues. It's difficult to track their impact on the connection, and it's likely only due to incorrect settings. To ensure a clean environment, Hamachi should be unloaded from Windows (find Hamachi in the "Network Connections" folder and right-click "Disable"), and the firewall (either installed separately or the Windows firewall) should be disabled (if you can't configure it). However, many claim to have disabled everything, but when checked through Mikogo, it turns out that everything is still enabled :) (a false belief in one's infallibility, or a lack of system knowledge)

• You enter the game, but it takes a long time to load the map headers. In the game chat, everyone is talking, asking you questions, and you're just sitting there unable to respond: the headers are still loading (already 3 MB of traffic has been used... it's unclear what it's for). This happens to me quite often. Many regular GameRanger users probably have hundreds of maps in the maps folder. It's quite difficult to force them to leave only one multiplayer map in that folder, but this can significantly help. Of course, you should also consider that the connection speed also affects the game, especially if there is a large difference in speeds (how exactly this affects the game has not yet been determined:rolleyes:)

• And then there's the infamous "turn doesn't come" issue. When creating a game (or joining a room), a "Port-Restricted Cone NAT Router" window may appear, explaining that your internet connection is behind a NAT router, which allows you to connect with most players, except those with a symmetric NAT router... In short, the deeper you go, the more complicated it gets... The message then says that you need to open UDP port 16000 on your router, or with your administrator/provider. This can completely throw you off :eek:. If you have your own router (this can be a router directly, or an ADSL modem with its functions), disable the firewall on it.
• You should also pay attention to the font used for player nicknames. If you have a poor font (!), such as italic, you may be quickly kicked from the game in such situations. And the turn doesn't pass between players with that font. You can try to adjust this by changing the player colors so that "problematic" players in terms of connection don't overlap. You can also restart GameRanger (exit and re-enter the program), which sometimes helps. Also, it is desirable that the player with a real IP hosts the game.
Overall, there are many obstacles. And considering that GameRanger is located on the other side of the world - in Australia (Perth)

I'm playing the licensed version from a disc, and even after closing the settings window, a different template is created, even though all the others were deleted except for one that I need.

I've never had a licensed copy, and I haven't had any problems with templates either. The problem is most likely either with the template file itself or with its location.
Upload your rmg.txt file here, which you are trying to use to create the map, and also provide a description: map size, number of players, template name. Someone will check it on their end.

Here, everything works fine with this file in Armageddon's Blade, but in The Shadow of Death, other templates launch, even though I extracted the file from The Shadow of Death.:confused:

I'm creating an XL map with a dungeon and no water, with maximum monster strength, for 2 or 3 players, using the "Meeting in Muzgob" template.

In my opinion, this is the most challenging template.

Yes, the RGM is working fine, and the SOD was created successfully from it. This means that your SOD is not being recognized for some reason. If the blade and SOD are in the same general folder and, consequently, have a common Data folder, and the blade can see the RGM but the SOD cannot, then this is some kind of miracle, as the generator files are supposedly the same for both.

Hello everyone!
I have a problem, can you please advise me on how to solve it? :smile45:
...

If this is a request for help, why is SEM_56 constantly making fun of him, even in the form of teasing...?
I suspect that with the way FANAT99 is presenting the problem, something is completely wrong... I, for example, can't even grasp the essence of the problem...:rolleyes:

I have the same problem as FANATA99; they say it can be fixed by adding the RMG.TXT template file to the same file with the .lod extension. Can you suggest an editor for LOD files so I can upload it back?

I'm amazed at how you manage to understand each other. You need to clearly define the task. If you can't formulate the problem, then there's no point in even opening the resource editor.

I'm just amazed at how you guys understand what's going on with each other. You need to clearly define the task. If you can't formulate the problem, then there's no point in even touching the resource editor.

WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND? HERE'S A LINK TO WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT: http://heroes.ag.ru/h3/rmg/ EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN HERE ABOUT TEMPLATES, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT ALL THESE ACTIONS WORK IN ARMAGEDDON'S BLADE, BUT NOT IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH. :(

Hello everyone, those of you with Windows 7, I can't seem to configure Hamachi so that it connects to the game the same way it did in XP. I've tried adding the network connection and placing Hamachi on top, but it still requires me to enter the Hamachi IP address instead of simply clicking "Join Game." Can anyone help me set this up on Windows 7? Please help!

Hello everyone, I've encountered a problem: after reinstalling Windows (from XP to XP), Heroes 3 stopped launching. Basically, when I start the game, a black screen with a cursor in the middle appears, and then the game just freezes. Before the Windows reinstall, everything worked fine. Could you please advise me on what to do?

Challenge:

Given: Valya, level 1, 31 Marksmen, 20 Pokes, 4 Griffins, Pixie, and all 3 War Machines.

Task: Defeat 42 Greater Ogres on grass terrain.

Save with attachment, WT (Wait Turn).

A small hint: If you know the correct strategy, any newbie can repeat it :).
