VCMI 0.98 released

I am following development of the project with much interest. Glad to see most of the original functionality is there. Can’t wait to see what you add after 1.0. What I’d personally like to see is RMG making better sea-maps with larger islands (the original ones always sucked), more than 8 players and option to use the original H3 icons (I can’t stand the old ones, they just don’t fit here). That, WoG and HotA… Could be really fun :slight_smile:

PS. In the wiki you have the following passage: “although it doesn’t follow its initiative mechanism”
Don’t you guys mean “initial”? :wink:

Is the mod list 100% updated to 0.98 yet?

All mods from 0.97 should be compatible with 0.98.

How convert save game from 0.97 to 0.98 version?

I have error:

Error: Failed to process SAVES/G1_3: Error: too old file format

Save games of diff. versions are not compatible.
Restore 0.97d to play it to end.

I can’t, because game crush on 0.97 version.
I wait new version that fix it.
But i must play again from the beginning :frowning:
And i can’t check bug in new version.

That’s good news :mrgreen:

Wow, amazing. Does this mean that in 1.00 this will be like original heroes 3?

Nobody never said that. So please stop asking.

Warmonger how far from being like original heroes 3 is vcmi?

I cannot find vcmi .98 on android, Google play store only has .97 When will .98 be out on the Google play store? Or is there a way I can operate the .98 software on my galaxys5?

Indeed, Android version is maintained by xyz who didn’t show around in a while. Will PM him.

First of all many thanks to the Dev Team well done!

What i would like to know is when you plan to implement Commander Artifacts, or rather when can we actually use them, because right now they disappear when i drag them unto the commander icon, which is sad as it renders the commander completely useless.

And another thing, my game crash’es every now and then. is there any reason to that? it simply closes down no warning or anything.

Again thanks for your work!

This is a bug. Please report it on bugs.vcmi.eu/my_view_page.php

I found this just a few weeks ago, and then Gog had their H3 sale so it was a given to re-live the adventures of this epic game. And well done on creating the project! Awesome job!

A few questions come to mind. Any idea on how long after a release the ppa:saven-ivan/vcmi -Ubuntu repository is updated. Is anyone maintaining easy to install releases for Mac. And what does VCMI stand for?

Keep up the good work!

Hi. Sorry for this delay. I’ll try to do something with PPA tomorrow. Meanwhile you can install daily builds from this PPA:
launchpad.net/~vcmi/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Let’s just say that project founders were great fans of Tolkien :unamused:

People ask this again! xD
By the way, I always wondered why would you make it something hard to pronounce, or remember, it wouldn’t attract too many people. But I think I heard somewhere that it’s supposed to be pronounced veece-me? :stuck_out_tongue:

Any update on Android? Won’t even launch now on my LG G4 5.1

Please, somebody help me: i see all the menu in Russian, i just installed VCMI and downloaded all the features and mods (i couldnt download Tarnum 2).

How can i make the menu in English, please? :bulb:
