Posts from HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Auto-translated

so far, only the awful Tunngle has managed to handle it

You can try TeamViewer.

1. Problem with gray IPs + home routers.

Hama and the router constantly have problems. There was a thread discussing it... I think they even found a solution somehow.

Perhaps this has already been asked – how do you disable the annoying feature in the HD mod where all units are automatically bought? It’s really irritating:mad:

To prevent one German player from harassing everyone in the tournament.

So that one German from the tournament doesn't bother everyone.

HOMM3 HD version: 3.0 RC4

What's the point of posting such nonsense? Update the version to 3.28.

Does version 3.28 connect with 3.28 without HD+?

connects, maybe someone has HD+ after all.

Does 3.28 connect with 3.28 without HD+?

Of course, it connects.

However, if the server is set up with HD+, and a player joins without HD+, it won't work.

Also, it won't work if you have a regular version (you are the host), and the opponent joins with HD+. This is indicated in the picture.

Pay close attention to what you are launching in the launcher.

Actually, it's a bug, and I've already reported it. You need to restart the game for all heroes. It happens sometimes.

Maybe it's already been asked - how do you disable the annoying feature in the HD mod where it automatically buys all units? It's really irritating:mad:

I don't think there's a way. Yes, it would be good to disable the default option to buy all units or add an extra key for it, because in reality, you often have to buy them one by one or in other quantities. And it doesn't save time - it wastes it.

• It has somehow become problematic to launch the game if you are playing with a password. When you try to launch it, a window pops up saying that it is waiting for input from another player. But the other player does not see the corresponding window with the password prompt. You have to give up using a password.
Crash report. Occurred after clicking on Start Game.

A terrible bug with dungeons has been discovered. At point 86, 125, there is a dungeon in a swamp, guarded by a horde of gnolls. According to the plan, Jabarkas, a level 5 creature, should be imprisoned there. At point 79, 67, in the desert, there is a dungeon where Jabarkas, a level 30 creature, is imprisoned. In the game, the swamp dungeon was initially cleared. A Jabarkas, level 30, emerged from it. When I reached the desert and opened the dungeon, I didn't receive any creature. I suspect this is somehow related to the fix for the starting hero's level. The save file and map file are attached. Both players were using version 3.20, HD+, but it seems that nothing related to dungeons has changed in the latest updates.

Update the mod and don't create more bugs. It's already fixed in version 3.28.

I've encountered a serious problem: the HD mod 3.98f doesn't work for me in GameRanger; I have to play via Hamachi. If I'm the host, the opponent can't connect to me; if the opponent is the host, I can't connect to them – the cursor just spins endlessly. Before this, regular Heroes always launched without problems. It started after switching to HD mod 3.98f after the tournament. I followed the instructions from _NEO_ on the Bulgarian website; maybe someone has seen it. I have the same antivirus, NOD32. I did everything as described in the instructions, but it still doesn't work (it involves excluding GameRanger in the antivirus program's options). The firewall is also disabled on both my computer and my opponent's, and I've also disabled NOD32 itself. It still doesn't work. What could be the problem?

3.98f

Поставь 3.28.
:D

A terrible bug with prisons has been discovered.
At 86, 125, there is a prison in a swamp behind a Gnoll horde. According to the plan, a level 5 Jabarkas should be there.
At 79, 67, in the desert, there is a prison where a level 30 Jabarkas is located.
...
Both players were using version 3.20, HD+, but it seems that nothing has changed with the prisons in the latest updates.

Sometimes we read the changelog.

3.25 -> 3.26 (23.12.2012)
[-] (author - Sav) bug: in random maps, one hero could be in multiple prisons, and as a result - have a very high level with weak prison guards.

This describes current bugs. After 3.20, many bugs have been fixed, meaning that later versions are more stable.
• I am more concerned about the fact that I was able to connect with the player Twaryna, using my version 3.28 and his version 3.20, and with HD+ (I rechecked myself - these versions do not connect via Hamachi, I looked at Twaryna's Heroes folder - there is a 3.20 launcher and the modification date in the attributes is still 23.12.2012). Also, after the game, the opponent asked me for a password. Moreover, the connection itself was somewhat unstable: there was no window with a notification about version mismatch, but there was a message that the player had not entered a password, and it seemed that he removed the password (I don't remember exactly), the game started, but a password was required to load the save.
Again, I tried to create a two-on-two game, but I couldn't launch it with passwords.

I encountered a serious problem, the HD mod 3.98f does not work for me in GameRanger, so I have to play via Hamachi.
...

GameRanger has been "going crazy" for the last six months: sometimes it is impossible to change the keyboard layout, then a poorly integrated flash advertisement for games appeared in the main window, consuming a lot of processor resources, then - "unobtrusive" advertising (already local) in the Rooms, some constant bugs when trying to write text in the Room, causing the program to freeze. And now - even Hamachi closes when trying to access it from a running GameRanger! This did not interfere with the connection - as it was constantly stated in their warning messages, but it looks like an attempt to eliminate competitors. And I was even surprised that the number of foreigners playing with Hamachi has increased so much.
Also, when playing with foreigners, there is often a problem because almost everyone has a router that is not configured or incorrectly configured, and most likely, it is precisely the hardware (built-in) firewall, and almost no one sees/takes into account the Windows firewall (or brandmauer), not to mention third-party programs. And giving advice in words is not quite in the spirit of the times, and the same thing has been written and rewritten many times.
