Noticed that the processor no longer gets heavily loaded during loading and saving, but the processes themselves have become extremely unstable. Sister, maybe a little something to calm your nerves?

And also - is it possible to teach the mod to, when encountering matching save files, not overwrite them, but instead add a number? It would be convenient for future games.

GoedenDag, update to 3.25
Well, I was actually trying to update. The result is above.

Guys, please don’t ignore me. Why can’t I create a map in multiplayer in the new versions? Is it the same for everyone? I just uninstalled 3.25 and installed 2.98 to test it. In multiplayer, everything works fine, maps are selected, and random maps are generated. Then I updated to the latest version again, and it’s the same… the “random map” and “scenario selection” icons are inactive, and the font has changed to yellow instead of white on these buttons. Is this a problem with the version itself, or am I doing something wrong?

Someone has probably already done something like this.

Maybe they are activated in multiplayer when a second player connects?

If the QC (Quick Combat) option is enabled and the AI attacks your Castle, you are not allowed to fight back (I lost 1 Angel and 5 Vivs for no reason in a game against Dark).

We launch the game without the HD mod and load the save. Then, we launch it with the HD mod and load the save again. When attempting to activate the game window without the HD mod, it crashes.


It's a shame that now you can't launch two copies of the game simultaneously from the same folder in single-player mode, as it was possible before. This forces us to find ways to bypass this limitation.

Here is the Dll file. Extract it, place it in the game folder, and everything should work fine.

baratorch,

Can you include this smackw32.dll file directly in the program?
Because where am I supposed to get it? The ones available online don't install.
smackw32.dll is part of the HoMM 3 game; this file is located in the game's installation folder. Your situation indicates that the HD mod is NOT installed in the game's folder (yes, strangely enough, HD requires the original game and must be installed in the same folder).

If, in your situation, HD is still installed correctly, try creating an HD executable in the launcher and launching the game from it.

It's a pity that now you can't launch two copies from the same folder in single-player mode, as it was before, so you have to come up with ways to bypass this limitation.
Change the renderer in the launcher to the original 16-bit, and both the original and HD versions will work simultaneously.
I will remove this limitation. I added it because, in multiplayer, two instances cannot share the resources of one folder (crashes occur when passing a turn), and no one will fix this.
I will make it impossible to play online when multiple instances are launched from the same folder.

Hello.
I would like to express my gratitude to baratorch and his team for their hard work and dedication to making our Heroes experience more comfortable and safe.
I have two questions, maybe someone can help. 1. After installing 3.25, with my game resolution of 885x664, the cursor size remains as small as it was in the normal Windows mode without Heroes. This means the horse and sword icons are very small. You can get used to it, but for now, I have to aim very carefully. 2. The image for the troop interval (20-49, 50-99) has disappeared... it now just says "group" or "horde". Previously, it was possible to check the box for "Mega-pack," but now how do I do that?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Quickly: download SuperPack_Rus 1.1 and install it as described under the download button (highlighted in red).

To baratorch: and yes, it would be great to include cranim in the package, it would make things much easier (I installed 3.23 immediately with a subsequent update, and it wasn't there)...
And also, after restarts, the saves are overwritten; is there anything that can be done so that they don't need to be tracked and copied manually (when they were scattered across folders, it was very convenient!)?
