Hi all.
Instruction
After installation you need copy some folders and files to Documents directory. You can copy by iTunes (i share Documents folder for this application).
Need following folder structures in Document directory:
Data
Maps
Mp3
config
Games
Mods
In Data folder copy H3*.snd,H3*.vid,H3*.lod,VIDEO.VID files from original HMM3 game
In Maps folder copy maps files from origin game (*.h3m)
In Mods folder copy vcmi folder from Mods folder in sources.
In MP3 folder copy MP3 folder from origin games.
in config folder copy config folder from source code.
After that you can start test/game.
Enjoy
COJDAT, built that, it is crashing on startup in void IVCMIDirs::init() … bfs::create_directories(userConfigPath());
with Operation not permitted error.
Is there some quick fix?
Turned out that having both client and server within a single process is impossible due to current VCMI architecture, so iOS has to run separate client and server apps for single player. Without jailbreak this is possible only on an iPad with multitasking features that supports Split View.
Hi! No tutorials so far, but I’ll try to write one over the weekend. Also no alpha build posted yet because I haven’t created a good tutorial on sideloading apps that require entitlements yet, will try to do that as well.
Basically, you need to get ffmpeg libraries (easy to google GitHub projects with prebuilt ones), build boost with https://github.com/faithfracture/Apple-Boost-BuildScript (but you need to use updated script from PRs) and build SDL2 (but that’s trivial to do). After that you can use cmake configure script similar to the one in my fork.
As for discord, there’s slack, see top of the page.
I just installled it and test few things ,
The Music dosnt work for me , i tried to delete and reupload properly the Mp3 folder but its not fixing it.
The Cinematics also dont have sound for me , must be also related to my Mp3 folder.
Note that Effects sound does work.
My Data/Maps folder seems to work properly .
I tried to launch campaign, single scenario , no issue building, fighting, so far no bug really noticeable , I ll spend more time to test . The game speed seems to run better than the original version.
Files im using for Data/Mp3/Maps : Gog version of Homm3 Complete.
Sofware i used to import : iMazing .
Device tested:
Ipad M1 12.9’ on iOS 15.5 , NJB
Installed via Alstore with paid dev acount
One feature would be cool is to change the icon from the launcher or settings maybe ?
Otherwise Thank you so much , really awesome job , im really amazed how good it runs !
