VCMI 0.98 released

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.

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:

Disable WOG russian translation mod. (BTW it should be disabled bu default)

Yes it should, but this feature doesn’t work for some reason.

I already tried that but didnt work… is all Russian.

But another issue: i tried to play in Russian, and i can play the old maps, in RoE, SoD, AB modes, but i cant play a random map, and i cant acces the wogifi options. It just not work, like is no sensible button there.

Any advice?

Also there is still two copy of that mod in repo. One should be removed.

wogifi button in not a button, its just a part of WoG graphics.

Since only 0.95 is available in the PPAs for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (which is supported till 2017), I tried to compile it from source. After getting all the dependencies, updated gcc to 4.8, I get these errors:

/home/calmarius/stuff/source/vcmi/vcmi/lib/filesystem/CFilesystemLoader.cpp: In member function ‘std::unordered_map<ResourceID, boost::filesystem3::path> CFilesystemLoader::listFiles(const string&, size_t, bool) const’:
/home/calmarius/stuff/source/vcmi/vcmi/lib/filesystem/CFilesystemLoader.cpp:130:8: error: ‘preferred_separator’ is not a member of ‘boost::filesystem3::path’
if (bfs::path::preferred_separator != ‘/’)
^
/home/calmarius/stuff/source/vcmi/vcmi/lib/filesystem/CFilesystemLoader.cpp:136:15: error: ‘preferred_separator’ is not a member of ‘boost::filesystem3::path’

^

Maybe the required boost version is too low?

Anyway should I expect a deb for Ubuntu Precise or is it not supported anymore?

EDIT: Boost 1.48 doesn’t have that property in the Path class. It seems the required minimum Boost version is 1.50. README.linux should be updated.
