dear all,

my first ever post here so I'm very sorry if I'm writing this in the wrong thread.

installed heroes iii complete, unpacked the vcmi zip, copied data, maps and mp3 folders into vcmi unzipped folder. in the vcmi_launcher, I enable factory, wog, mods for monsters, etc.

game opens good, I can choose a scenario and start playing. two things, however.

while in the castle and left-clicking on some stack, no window will open
with information but text bleeds into town's background image. I can remove this by hitting esc.

and second, worst, thing. I can buy stacks, start moving around the map but the moment I'm getting into a fight with a neutral stack, vcmi crashes. "Program has stopped working."

I'm on win7, x32. also new to playing modded hommm so I'm sorry if my description sounded too stupid.



with best,

Maybe you should try installing Heroes III Complete instead.

Some VCMI files are missing - incorect installation. Start over and don't enable any mods before you figure out it works.

You must also dowload vcmi essential files and copy them to your h3/vcmi folder. Besides you must download and install latest daily builds from here https://builds.vcmi.download/branch/develop/Windows/ because some mods are incompatible with old 0.99 zip package.

typoed, meant heroes iii obvs.

I just tried reinstalling etc yesterday.

when I open the launcher the first time, it shows essential files as in need for an update, so I let it update and then enable.

then I'm enabling factory and starting the game.

yet, before the fight with a neutral stack can begin, I get the error I screencaped above.

anyways, going to try with nightly build and also with manual installation of essential files. hoping it will work.

thanks for the suggestions!

Well, you shouldn't do that.

ok so, some updates.

I *think* I got it to work but it's still not 100% there.

1. installed homm iii complete (c:gog games...)
2. as per https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Installation_on_Windows, copied data, maps and mp3 folders from gog games to my games\vcmi (altho I had to manually create "vcmi" folder (this is said nowhere in the tutorials and help materials)
3. unpacked vcmi essentials (downloaded from https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list) and copied the unzipped content to my games\vcmi
4. unpacked factory, copied the contents to my games\vcmi\mods
5. opened launcher, enabled everything under essentials + factory
6. changed screen rez to 1920x1080, intro off, battleAI
7. opened vcmi_client

battles work now, no crash. however, I seemingly cannot play in max rez, it still opens at 800x600. even tho extraResolutions mod is present in the mods folder and it's also set to max in the launcher, as noted. it's a minor thing but before, when it crashed on battle initiation, max rez worked, though. so idk what's wrong with it now.

either way, resolution issue notwithstanding, I guess now it's safe to copy over all the other mods I want, following the same procedure as outlined above, right?

thanks for the replies btw, really appreciated. hate being n00b at stuff, lol.

check if you have more than one file "resolutions.json" somewhere in mygames/vcmi or in vcmi installation path

None. Some mods have submods. My games/vcmi/Mods is the main mods folder where you must copy all mods. The second one contains submods of vcmi essential files mod.

Sometimes you can get duplicate folders (minor bug in 0.99 package). So if you find duplicate 'extraResolution' folders in any Mods directory with the same content, delete folder which is 'deeper'.

Just try this.
Delete all 'Mods/vcmi...' from My games/vcmi and also from gamesvcmi folder. Unpack vcmi essential files once again and copy folder Mods to gamesvcmi folder.
About red video warning - it's minor error, games seeks video from h3 cd drive ot sth. It doesn't affect the game.

well, sadly I'm back to square one here.

became too hasty with adding all these great mods to the point of client not even 'booting up'.

so I deleted the content of the my games\vcmi folder & followed the steps I outlined a few posts up. however, now I cannot even understand how these steps could've worked cos I'm not copying over vcmi 0.99 unzipped files at all there.

so I tried it with those steps + copied over the files/folders nevertheless.

but same problem of game not even starting up remains.

not sure at all what I'm doing wrong constantly, quite distressing. :/
