800x480 resolution

Turning up animation speed may help a little

Ah yes. It’s so long since I played in slow speed, I forgot it existed (and I also think in VCMI it’s either even slower or buggy as compared to OH3).

And to comment on a post about 800x480 from another topic:

For the menu i think (and for that i can be very very wrong) that the bottons could be rearanged to fit the 800x480 screen,no?or keyboard shortcuts?

Almost. Buttons graphics contain a piece of nearby background. Keyboard shortcuts are implemented and working.

The part with buttons containing a piece of background is a bit annoying, but I guess it’s not impossible to solve (because I guess that means also the WoG team was able to edit those buttons to include parts of their WoG background).

If someone would have the skill & time for that, we could have the following:

#1. Reduce the number of menu buttons from 5 to 4

#2. From the 1st Main Menu screen both High Scores & Credits could be removed, and replaced by the More button (it’s in the H3Complete auto-load interface, so I guess it can be found in the game files somewhere):

#3. Clicking on More would open another 4-buttons interface:

• High Scores
• Credits
• Settings (suggestion - a link to the VCMI Settings/Options interface)
• Back

#4. Clicking on Credits could optionally also open a 4-buttons interface:

• H3 Credits
• WoG Credits
• VCMI Credits
• Back

#5. From the 2nd Main Menu screen, the Tutorial button could be removed. Instead, we could have the TUTORIAL map accessible in the Single Scenario list. Maybe even default (as after almost 10 years I got sick of H3, and now VCMI, always defaulting on that Arrogance map :p). Of course, also the saved games should have the same format as single scenarios, but maybe have them default when saving to a name starting with TUTORIAL_.

#6. Same principle as above could be applied to the Campaign menu. Now we have WoG, RoE, AB, Custom & Back. We could have:

• RoE
• AB
• More
• Back

And More would open:

• SoD
• WoG
• Custom
• Back

(and something similar should be done about the normal 5-buttons interface as well, because it’s annoying not to be able to access the SoD campaigns in WoG now)

@Tow

Could we somehow check if the resolution is 800x480 (from settings.txt?)

Tomorrow.

If you work on implementing this today, I have a suggestion/request: is it possible to bind this resolution to the 0 key? Like this we can keep the H3 default 800x600 bound to 1 in the resolution selection list.
