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

Hello. Could you please tell me how to enable the HD mod features of inviting a hero to the tavern and choosing paths and commands when creating a random map in ERA v2.46, if this is possible. If not, I would like to ask the developers of the HD mod to make these features compatible with ERA, as they used to work before. Thank you.

Hello, I can't seem to enable the "Tournament Extensions" options after updating the mod. I install a clean English version of "Shadow of Death," patch 3.2, WOG 3.58f, and then the newest mod (3.714f). In the ini file, both "interface extension" and "tournament extension" are enabled, and HD+ is enabled in the launcher, but nothing works. I've tried different builds and versions. One of the builds works with the HD mod version 3.53. I want to play a clean, working English version and an updated version of my favorite game with all the extras. By the way, I wrote to the mod creator's email about some bugs: When the commander's magic power is fully upgraded, their magic resistance becomes -35%. If a hero and a computer opponent have the "Tactics" skill (tested on expert difficulty), the "Tactics" skill stops giving a bonus to speed. Sometimes this can be fixed by simply clicking on the "Tactics" icon, but sometimes (most of the time) it doesn't work. There was also a bug, I think it's well-known, where heroes specializing in creatures at high levels gave a negative bonus to the stats of their specialized creatures, so I never take such heroes. That's all I can remember for now.

By the way, I emailed the mod creator about some bugs:

When the commander's magic power is fully upgraded...

I suspect that he doesn't care at all about how the ND mod behaves in conjunction with WoG. But of course, this is not an official statement, but just my personal opinion.

And in general, the website says WoG 3.58, TE, WT, ERA - not all functionality is available.
So it's not surprising if something doesn't work or glitches somewhere.

In short, don't play any kind of sh...t. There is SoD...

In short, don't play any kind of cr...p. There is SoD...

Why would you say that? In single-player, ВоГ (and even more so ERA) significantly surpasses SoD.
And many people love campaigns, single-player games, walkthroughs of custom maps — they love to spend time loading and feel like a God over the AI :)

To each their own...

Well, I've managed to break HD Mod — it crashes immediately upon launch.

What I did before this: installed directx_Jun2010_redist.exe, oalinst.exe ()Installs OpenAL32.dll (6.14.357.24) and wrap_oal.dll (2.2.0.5), vcredist_x86.exe (Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) - 12.0.21005), Xvid-1.3.2-20110601.exe — all of this for Lost Alpha; .NET Framework 4.5 — that's for the first Colombian toy, it almost installed, but then made an excuse that it's not Vista)

Added after 5 hours 54 minutes
It's solved — turns out I was messing with the template file before. It stopped crashing immediately — either I didn't launch the game after the last change, or something else happened in between — so I didn't catch the connection(
On the other hand, I found a bug (just don't tell me that checking rmg.txt BEFORE launching even the splash screen and heroically crashing without saying a word is some kind of feature).

What a laugh! Has anyone tried downloading the ND mod? https://sites.google.com/site/sites/system/errors/SiteDisabledOwnerAccount

The first link in Google.

The site is working again.

Did I understand correctly that by creating an HD version, the author of the remake has access to the project's source code? (even if only partially)

I suggest adding the following functionality: saving settings, NumPad support, and the ability to exit all in-game dialogues by pressing Esc (currently, half of them can only be exited by pressing Enter).

Eleondor, no, development started with studying the executable file of Heroes 3. There were no source codes, and there still aren't any. zoog, I've already implemented support for numpad in my version; I just need to send an update to Baratortch so he can include it in the next version of the HD mod. Also, I have some ideas for a new mod with a bunch of extra hotkeys, but it's still in a raw state, and I haven't had the time to finish it. And doesn't Esc work in all the screenshots? When I play, I use it constantly.
