Are Armageddons Blade files missing?

The original data folder of the Heroes Complete edition consists of these resource files:

H3ab_bmp.lod
H3ab_spr.lod
H3ab_ahd.vid
H3ab_ahd.snd
H3bitamp.lod
H3sprite.lod
VIDEO.vid

At the VCMI/trunk/data folder the H3ab resource files are missing. Why aren’t they needed?

During the last few days I’ve implemented the ROE and WOG campaign selection screen. For the AB campaigns I would need the H3ab_ahd.vid and H3ab_bmp.lod files. There would be no problem with SOD campaigns but then the menu image in the main menu screen have to be changed from AB to SOD.

Good question. We were reading only files that we needed and it remained unchanged until now… since you need them, you should add some code that will handle it. I’m not sure how .vid files are handled but regarding .lod file you should delare it near spriteh and bitmaph global variables (and use just like bitmaph/spriteh are used).

!Important!:
Revision 2037 and higher needs now following files in the data directory:

H3ab_bmp.lod
H3ab_ahd.vid
