VCMI and placements of heroes3 complete and mod

International board Help & Bugs
#1

I tried to search the forum for answers but could not find it, been trying to search for a while, but gave up in the end.

I have heros 3 complete from GoG.

I have unpacked the VCMI in a own folder called VCMI.

As I gathered I am suppose to put heroes 3 files into the same folder?

or did I do something wrong?

I got WoG to work on heros 3 without using VCMI, but I want to add new stuff also and VCMI is the only option for that.

Is there anyone who have the time to explain me where to put it?

I have tried many different things but game doesnt start so I am doing something wrong.

Hope someone has the patience with a heroes3 fan but mod noob. ^^

Easy:
[ul]]Make copy of folder with installed H3 complete./:m]
]Download and unpack VCMI somewhere./:m]
]Copy all VCMI files right into your H3 complete directory.
VCMI_client.exe must be in same directory where Heroes3.exe is./:m]
]If you want WoG or other mods run “VCMI_Launcher.exe”, download and activate them.
WoG downloaded from elsewhere won’t work as VCMI has special adoption./:m][/ul]
Hope it’s helps. :wink:

Thank you for the help it worked … kinda…

  • grove town works but random maps cannot be larger than medium
  • preserve town did not work at all
  • wog worked but only at random map of medium size

not sure if I did something wrong…

if someone tried to do bigger maps and got it to work I would be happy to learn how I can make it work.
I only play random maps as campagin is of no interest.

What exactly VCMI version you running?
Did you tried very recent development build?
[forum.vcmi.eu/t/development-build-0-98e/1013/1)

Also VCMI may crash during random map generation (at least for me on Linux) as there few unfixed bugs. So it’s worth to try it few times.

#5

You cna configure available map templates via launcher ->VCI essential files->templates.

Only mods from our Launcher are supported, 3rd party mods are mostly incomplete or untested.

#6

I use VCMI 0.98

Also only used the links to mods provided on this site as I think those are most likely to work with VCMI properly. ^^

I will do exploring with the launcher.

thanks again for the help, much appriciated.

#7

Make sure to test latest development build “0.98e” I linked instead of “0.98” from front page. RMG only started to support objects from most few months ago and it’s not in stable release yet.

#8

Last development build has broken RMG, crashing most of times.
I propose using 0.98d instead.

#9

There were no changes in RMG as far as I know.
