Posts from Replacing music in Heroes III.

I like the music in Heroes of Might and Magic III, and I wouldn't even think about changing it.

My music has been partially replaced: Castle – replaced with the *Haven* castle from Heroes 6. Tower town – themed after the Protoss from StarCraft 2. Dungeon town – themed after the dungeon from Diablo 1. Swamp town – themed after the Hive from Diablo Hellfire. Orc town – themed after the Orc town from Heroes 6. Colony town – themed after the Sanctuary town from Heroes 6. Inferno town – themed after the Hell from Diablo 1. Snow – replaced with snow from Heroes 4. Sea – replaced with sea from Heroes 4. Grass – replaced with grass from Heroes 5. Dungeon – seems to be some track from Heroes 6. Deadlands – replaced with an analogue from Heroes 5. Battle 1 – replaced with the Haven battle theme from Heroes 5. Battle 3 – themed after the humans from StarCraft 2. The rest remains unchanged. I'm looking for something for the Necropolis town, but haven't found anything suitable yet.

...looking for something for the Necropolis town, but haven't found anything suitable yet...

A funeral march would be perfect:D

Why change it? I turned off the in-game sound and played what I wanted in the player.

A funeral march feels a bit too simple... it needs to be something mystical, dark, and ominous. By the way, Dnaop-wr, what hero is that in your avatar? I haven't seen him in the game.

This is from some campaign in AB or SoD (I don't remember exactly), from an enemy camp. According to the scenario, he had to be killed; he was quite strong, but he escaped, and I couldn't take the artifacts from him.
Today I was reading someone's walkthrough of a campaign and remembered — this is Ordwald, Mutare's opponent from the Dragon's Blood (AB) campaign.

Nothing needs to be changed, everything is already good.

I changed the music in the towns. In the Castle, I have the Toreador song playing, in the Conflux, it's Ogiński, in the Stronghold, it's Paganini, and I made the melancholic Necromancers listen to Rammstein:rolleyes:. In the Inferno, there's also something by Rammstein, but I don't remember what's playing in the Tower; I haven't played as that faction in a while.

The original sound and music fit the game perfectly; I personally didn't change anything.

The music in Heroes 3 is magnificent, and I personally never get tired of it. It was used in cosmetic commercials, it's put on mobile devices, and people even danced to it at a figure skating championship... and if someone gets tired of it, they can just turn it off... what's the problem? As an alternative, I can suggest listening to difm.

So, how do I do it? I know there are editors, and you can do it manually, and so on, but I don't quite understand how exactly. Not that I've been looking very hard, but still, I haven't found anything useful. I just want to add a soundtrack for the prologue to a campaign and send it to a friend. Of course, he'll probably have to add it too, but that's not the point. Is there a simple way to do this? You must have something about it somewhere on this forum.

I replaced some files, but I won't do it anymore. I did everything correctly, just like other players, but all the music in the game stopped working. I couldn't fix it. I had to reinstall the game. After reinstalling, everything went back to normal.

As long as I'm alive, I'll keep playing Heroes. Even after the death of Professor Picolyan, the community will live on forever, as they say, glory to the heroes.

...I'm looking for something for the Necropolis town, but so far, nothing suitable...

I've put on the music "Glory Oath + Blood - Skull's Army" for myself. It fits perfectly, in my opinion.
However, I'm playing Heroes 3 WOG, so the music glitches in the towns: it doesn't play and causes the game to crash. And I've checked: the glitch is specifically with the town music; everything else works.

I was told that WOG is very old and isn't updated, unlike HotA, and that it's better to install it and change the music there, but I've been playing WOG all my childhood, and I only found out about HotA last year, so I don't want to switch, but I don't know how to fix the crash issue. 🥲
