The Heroes Round Table

I get this error in the MMExtension console when I launch the game with party scripts installed and the game quits: ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— G:\MMVIII\Scripts\General\Choose Party.lua:135: attempt to call field 'autohook' (a nil value) stack tra...

There's still message on the wiki page that it's on maintenance till 08.05

What about save editor? mm7che.exe

Oops. Sorry for misinformation.. But do these work on new macs, or only the older ones? And what is that Native Operating Systems interface?

No native builds for these games exist. However first five games and Swords of Xeen can be played with dos box (that emulates DOS environment). Newer games can probably be launched with wine , though you will have to compile wine yourself. This will work only if you have a new (x86) mac. Older versi...

The grail makes any terrain for Cove units to count as native terrain. The building that is available after building upgraded pirates dwelling allows second upgrade for them. Resource silo produces 1 sulfur/day Grotto (third row, middle building in town hall) allows to trade creatures for artifacts ...

I see problems in implementing this into existing exe with no source code published. It's possible, however it is probably a hard task and not much worth doing.

You are still opening your savegame, not actual memory aren't you? This is how memory editor looks like: http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll24/solitaire345/memview.png However the value at the address Grayface provided isn't 13 for some reason. Maybe because I just installed MM6 and didn't apply p...

This address is for game data stored in RAM, not in savegame.

I just checked internet and read that Lenovo IdeaPad S10e resolution is 1024 x 576 px. Is that maximum resolution, that this laptop can offer? If yes, then I fear you won't be able to run HoMM, because it needs at least 800x600 resolution

It might have been caused by DEP (I had similar problem recently). Try to disable it completely (Step-by-step instruction is here)

I always fail the RAM test on Heroes 3 Installation .

This one? If you have a lot of RAM (IIRC 2GB) the installer overflows and sees your RAM size as negative. Obviously RAM test fails. Simply ignore it.

Most of these installers fail to recognize newer DirectX versions. Just ignore it. And your second "bug" about one character (if I understand you correctly) is a new "feature": in MM8 you start with one main character and various characters may join you later. You can also dismis...

You can download some new portraits from http://modhomm3.free.fr/. Click on "Portraits" under "Heroes4" category in the list to the left. Although most of them don't look consistent with original HoMM IV portraits

Indeed a great idea to write a story based on M&M. I have been out of good fantasy novels lately, so I'll definitely read all this :) However I don't think money should be called 'dollars' - it reads somehow weird to me. I better like gold coins as it was in the game.. Also before becoming 'dead...

Well, resedit is useful for viewing resources from HoMM IV. At least for now I don't know tool that would open the graphic files from HoMM IV

If for some reason you need newer windows (or any other OS), you can have XP running in virtual machine.

I know. But for efficient testing players should also use ERA instead of old exes, because when someone creates a map/mod for ERA and an user tries to play it with 3.58f, the process of helping the user might become pretty painful.. Some people fail at installing it..

ERA is the next version of HoMM III WoG. It even reports it's version as 3.59

All new files are stored in the installer. During installation they are extracted and added to LOD with bitlib.exe. You may try install it in windows and copy h3bitmap.lod back to your game directory in linux.
