Hello guys, nice project! I want to try out VCMI & decided to install it on Linux. As I understand, HOMM3 SoD (or Complete Edition), WoG are reqiered. So, tell me please, would it be correct installation, if I install package vcmi-svn from ArchLinux AUR, copy HOMM3 files respectively to:
Yes. Note that config directory and some files in Mods directory must be installed from the same source as binary (and not copied from older install). From what I can see AUR package should handle this correctly.
Format of files in config directory changes over time. Using config files from 0.89 release with binaries from 0.90 won’t work.
When using builds from svn (as AUR does) format of one of config files can change anytime. So if config files and binaries come from different revisions vcmi may not work correctly.
Yes, also remove old Mods folder if you have anything older than 0.91.
There were significant changes in mod / filesystem and the game may just read the files that are no more compatible.
Installed successfuly, added Caven & Artifacts mods. Game starts, mods found. Started singleplayer game, but hero can`t move - he has move points, but the route arrows are brown.
