Unfortunately VCMI doesn’t have working music support at the moment.
Would you find playing VCMI interesting if it provided support for music? ;>
Just made some test with hex editor and heroes 3 executable. It looks that game read sounds
- case-insensitive
- extension-insensitive
For example “BuTTon.Wxv” still correctly loads “BUTTON.wav” from archive. There is a chance that GOG team messed case and\or extension of sound files.
Unless someone has a better idea on what is going on with GOG version, I’ll fix VCMI loader to match H3.
AFAIR GOG version has different file extensions: always upper-case, and sometimes WAVV instead of WAV. Ignoring file extension may indeed fix the issue.
It may be a bit too late to say but I’ve just bought the GOG H3 Complete version and all the sounds seem to work properly. Even though I run it on Ubuntu via Wine.
