Have you ever dreamed of having H3 units in a proportional size, like they march and squash in the RoE intro? Now you have the chance. Grab Artas' mod when it's fresh and install it. All units were altered in size with respect to their originals and I certainly can warrant a smile on your face, when you see them fight on the battlefield. <img src="images/smiles/smile9.gif">



<u>How to install:</u>

1. Unzip.

2. Extract attached Heroes3HD file to your game folder and run updater.

3. Then run as usual.



<u>Notes:</u>

Tested with H3C english version. Installer will automatically back up your original h3sprite.lod file in the folder PatchWise.bak



Known bugs: Naga Queen, Dread Night and Great Basilisk contain white pixels. Solution not found yet.

Heroes franchise was not about the free actions of Heroes or monsters, it was not about 3D of shiny graphics either, it was about diversity and balance, simplicity of gameplay and realistic picture, strategy in it's purest form. That's why Heroes 3 will be the greatest game of all, because only Heroes 3 has all those qualities together, no matter which one you personally like more. This statement is unquestionable, uncriticized and undeniable .

@michiganjf

That's a question. Actually it could but it will apply only on H3C creatures - the WoG ones will not be proportional. Try it.



Anyway the patching routine may require just the original unmodified h3sprite.lod.

@thundertinan, i already explained this: war unicorns are indeed that big, have you ever seen a large horse in your life? You have no knowledge in biology whatsoever.. Do you know that the biggest horses on earth weight over a ton and are 210 cm tall just in shoulder hight? Unicorns are resized accoring to them, they are not too big.



Boars can not be bigger, because then the goblin on them would be bigger also. Anyway, again your biology fails - the common African warthog is 65 cm tall in shoulder hight and weighs around 70 kg.



Before making anymore stupid comments, learn some biology.

@thundertitan, here is a 195 cm tall 1000+ kg horse just for you:

I have carefully studied the size of animals, and what you see in this mod is not exaggerated.

Obviously i only made the unicorns that big, since they are are magical creatures anyway, it's not a big deal to make them quite bigger than other horses in the game, but within size limits of true largest horses.

In other words the unicorns are huge while the boars are the wrong species...

You really shouldn't be criticising anyone's biology knowledge when you use the sizes of a warthog for what is clearly a boar, both in name and appearance...

Guess i should just be glad you didn't make the wolves the size of chihuahuas then...

And making the Goblins bigger then Imps wouldn't really be that weird imo...

But seriously, i wasn't criticising it's realism, i was just noticing how odd the boar looks near the unicorn... getting that defensive is kinda sad really.


P.S. - and those big horses are work horses, not warhorses... even says so in that link... stones in glass houses and all that.

It is sad that i have to repeat - the goblin is riding the boar. I have to keep goblin sizes equal. I can not make the boar bigger, because then the goblin would be bigger than the wolf rider.

If you can turn the boar into a warthog, why can't you tun the wolf into a dire wolf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dire_wolf

Or make the Imps smaller...

Good, Cerberus was a giant dog in myth, it wasn't just the heads you know.

I noticed you (Kalah?) have included the HD mod with my Gigamight resize mod - this is what i wanted, but take a notice that the HD mod is being updated every once in a while, and the latest version is far from what is included in the package.
Most important - HD mod allows to play without CD, while the HD mod in my package does not.
Perhaps you can update this install package with the newest HD mod Kalah?

PROBLEM MAJOR PROBLEM!

Kalah, the installer You (Celestial Heavens team) created does not work. Some folks told me that and i can confirm it.

When prompted to install the mod into the correct folder, it gives an error "Wrong folder selected". ;|

Image

It does not matter where you select it to be installed, correct folder or nor - just does not work!

:ill:

Can you please fix this major issue? Can you or Pol please make a proper installer in the name of CL with a proper destination for the targeted H3sprite.lod to be replaced?
