| About VCMI |
We want to rewrite the entire H3 engine (VCMI is NOT another mod) giving it new possibilities. Many months of intensive work resulted in creating application with impressive amount of features. Among current features are:
Support for HoMM 3 graphics and maps
Choosing scenario options
Adventure map, moving heroes and interactions with objects. Support for non-standard screen resolutions (graphics for 1024x768 and 1024x600 resolutions are included in the package)
Town interface, including support for Fort and Town Hall windows and handling all common structures
Hero window
Battle interface, handling most of spells
Basic battle AI
VCMI is an open-source project, if you want help us, please contact us using our board.

| VCMI 0.81 released! |
| Author: Tow @ 2010-06-01, 23:04 |
Hello,
we're happy to release VCMI 0.81. There are no revolutionary changes, just simple "more of everything". Zone of Control has been implemented for monsters on adventure map - they'll now guard neighbouring tiles. Several first adventure map spells are supported. All war machines are now functional.
We have also done a number of bugfixes - about 30 issues have been resolved. Please check the changelog below and bugtracker for the list.
Check items implementation status for the full information about which map objects, town structures, skills, spells, artifacts, creature abilities and victory conditions are supported.
Download link: http://forum.vcmi.eu/dloa...=download&id=17 (3.9MB, ZIP Archive)
Installation:
Extract the package into your main Heroes folder.
WoG 3.58f is required. We strongly recommend using English version.
If your game is in another language, you can extract this package into Data/ subfolder - that will make your H3 installation English.
If you have older version of VCMI, you have to overwrite it.
***
Save format has been changed, savegames from previous versions won't work with 0.81.
VCMI supports 800x600, 1024x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1366x768 (replacing 1336x768) and 1680x1080 screen resolutions. To use custom resolution, type (before starting the actual game!) in the console "resolution" and pick appropriate one. Alternatively, you can change default resolution by the editing config/settings.txt file.
Acknowledgements:
Many thanks for all testers and developers who contributed to this build.
***
For the general information about our project look here. Our project isn't really playable now, but it gives you an idea of progress we have made so far. We're hoping that you'll like it.
Since VCMI 0.74 we have deployed separate bugtracker. Please report bugs using this form. Check this page for list of known bugs and details.
We hope you'll help us develop the project - details are available here. VCMI is an open source project licensed on GNU GPL 2.0 or higher. Our SVN repository with all the sources is available here.
You can look for help in building and developing VCMI sources in the development board.

| VCMI 0.8 released! |
| Author: Tow @ 2010-03-01, 22:41 |
Hello,
we're happy're happy to release VCMI 0.8. During last three months we've prepared several important features:
- support for hot-seat mode. It's still somewhat preliminary but should be functional.
- victory and loss conditions. It's finally possible to win or lose game (though counting points and Hall of Fame are not implemented yet). This feature, together with hot-seat, makes VCMI 0.8 first playable (to some degree) build.
- compound artifacts can be assembled and disassembled.
- Kingdom Overview window has been implemented. It has several variants, adjusted to different game resolutions.
- Grail and related functionalities: Obelisks, Puzzle Map, Digging, Constructing the ultimate building.
There are also minor features (as usual: "more everything").
We have also done a lot of bugfixes - about 70 issues have been resolved. Please check the changelog below and bugtracker for the list.

| New server and domain |
| Author: Tow @ 2010-02-15, 05:05 |
Forum and bugtracker have been moved to a new server. Now we'll have more space and possibilities for further site development.
Everything is now hosted under domain vcmi.eu.
New addresses are:
FORUM - http://forum.vcmi.eu/
BUGTRACKER - http://bugs.vcmi.eu/
Please update entries in your bookmarks
Old links will remain functional for some time and redirect to the new domain.
I've updated links in the forum with new address, so internal linkage remains consistent.
If you encounter any problems with forum that might be related to that migration, please report them here.
