I've looked through a lot of information and read a lot, and I understand some things but not others. I'd like to have all the differences between the latest version of the HD mod and version 2.98 compiled in one message. baratorch, could you post them here?

In the latest version, 3.17f, the turn starts immediately, rather than after clicking the checkmark. I couldn't find such an option in the _HD_.ini file. Also, if the opponent doesn't have HD+, the game cannot be started; you have to exit and disable it. It would be nice to have an automatic disabling of HD+ if the opponent doesn't have it.

If there is a random town on the map under the flag of a human player, then starting a new single-player game and then starting it again causes the game to crash with the error: "ResourceManager::GetSprite could not find the sprite resource".

Yes, in HD+, it really does. I will fix it.
Also, if the opponent doesn't have HD+, you can't start the game; you have to exit and disable it. It would be nice to automatically disable HD+ if the opponent doesn't have it.
This was done in earlier versions. I deliberately abandoned this. If you play SoD, play SoD (with or without HD).
If you want to play HD+ (which is incompatible with SoD), agree with your opponent.
No one wants Heroes 5 to connect to Heroes 4 and automatically turn into Heroes 4.
HD doesn't affect the gameplay.
HD+ does, fixing the bugs of the original game. And HD+ also includes everything that cannot be used against regular SoD, such as password-protected saves.

***

I will prepare a list of differences from 2.98. One will be a brief, clear one, and the other will be detailed.

Can you send me such a map? I can't seem to reproduce the bug.
Also, you are launching HD with the wrong shortcut (most likely created by some old HD 3 beta). Create a new shortcut (it should not have < Heroes3.exe.ini > at the end of the command line, but should have < #... >.

P.S. I fixed the shortcut.

3.14 doesn't connect with 3.17, all extensions are enabled everywhere. Is this a bug or a feature?

baratorch, is it possible to add a function that calculates the total time spent on a game after it ends? For example, Player #1 spent 5 hours, Player #2 spent 8 hours.
In the future, this data could be added to a report, and overall, a record of the average time spent by players on a game could be kept in a separate table (e.g., in the ranking). This would show the overall picture for each player, with a gradation from "fast" to "slow," for example, in the form of coefficients: 1 - standard; 0.9 and less - fast; 1.1 and more - slow.

baratorch, wait, this is crazy. Is it true that fixes for original game bugs and save passwords are now inseparable? This means we won't be able to require players at Tournaments to use HD, because it changes the gameplay. But we should, for the sake of final control over cheating.

Is there really no way to separate password-protected saves from gameplay changes, including the original bug-features of SoD? Or is it possible to do that even now and I'm just being dense?:rolleyes:

[+] When you right-click on a map in the new scenario list, you can see its file name.
By the way, that's a useful feature, thanks!

In version 3.19, when gaining experience (from a chest or any other source), if the turn time runs out, it becomes impossible to choose which stat to increase, and the game does it for you! This is ridiculous. Also, if you select "Jebus" in the settings of version 3.19, set "Hard" difficulty without underground, and then switch to "Castles," the settings mode reverts to a map with underground!

Wasn't it the same in SOD?

Actually, even when my turn ended, I could choose which skills to upgrade! And it seemed like it was always like that! But here, they gave my father the Expert Eagle Eye and Wisdom – is that okay?!

Man, even I know about this thing in SoD, where when you open Pandora's Box, if you don't manage in time, the game chooses the skills for you, although I've never played a game in my life with a time limit. Moreover, this only happens with Pandora's Box; as far as I know, this doesn't happen with other ways of gaining experience.
I was going to fix this in HD+, but I keep forgetting.

Also, if you choose the 3.19 Jebus setting, set HL without a dungeon, and switch to castles, the settings mode resets to a map with a dungeon!
We'll fix it.

Here's another issue that popped up.
We'll exclude it.

Ideally, this shouldn't happen in HD+, especially if it already exists in the standard version, as it's clearly a bug. I played the HD+ version.
