WoG removed SoD campaign?
Hello
I recently installed WoG, but it seems to have removed the option to choose SOD campaign. By this i mean that when i click single player -> campaign, the only campaigns i can choose from are Armageddon's blade, the original Erathia one, and the WoG campaign, is there any way i can play the SOD campaign without uninstalling WoG?
Thanks for the help

You have to use original heroes3.exe.
If you want to play with WoGify, you have to unpack SoD campaigns to Heroes 3/maps

all maps are stored in folder named "maps" there are no other folders for RoE,AB,SoD or WoG maps.

You don't have to unpack maps, just paste campaign files to maps folder. SoD maps will be available as custom campaigns.

The campaign files are also in the maps folder right?
So if i copy everything that is in my backup copy maps folder from the original heroes installation into the WOG installation maps folder the SoD camaigns should turn up in the custom campaigns menu right?

Yes. The campaign files go into the maps folder. Basically, my direct path is as follows:
C/Program Files/3DO/Heroes III Complete/maps

No. The SoD campaigns are hardwired. Not unless you have already played them and saved each campaign you started and played already.

um, i'm still confused.
So SoD campaigns are in my maps folder, and if i want to WOGify them, i have to unpack them, or paste them, from my maps folder, into my maps folder? How do i unpack them? If i am to paste them, i can't paste them to the same folder they are all ready in can i ?

Step-by-step guide:
1. Download ResEdit here.
2. Open ResEdit and open the LOD file in the Data directory named H3Bitmap.
3. Use the filter next to the QuickView button and select "H3M".
4. Set an extract path using the toolbar menu, highlight the campaigns you want to extract and click "Extract".
5. Copy and paste the campaigns into your Shadow of Death maps folder.
6. Enter the game, click 'Custom Campaigns' in Single Player, choose the campaign you want to play and enjoy.
I hope this clears things up.

step 3: I have found only *.H3C files, not H3M. Otherwise, it works.
Thanks.

Yeah, that's the format. H3C. A mistake on my part. Sorry.

BTW, I tried to play wogified RoE campaignes, and the game crashed after completing the first map. / I extracted all *.h3c files to maps /
It was Liberation c., I've just choosen bonus for second map, and WoG crashed during the wogification of it.
I would play over all RoE/AB/SoD campaignes, but in wogified version.
What to do against crashes? Any idea?
