I know, that's exactly what I did. But once in game, the map has visual glitches. Only 252x252 show properly, bigger does not.

The question is whether the map is valid at all?

Damnt, I feel like speaking chinese. Okay, let's go:

1) There is no coherent install for WoG

2) I downloaded here and there what I found then followed the instructions for SOD

3) Then I picked here and there the WoG executable and the XXL editor, because I have Heroes complete thus the XXL.exe has no effect

4) I don't use Baratorch HD mod and I won't use it as long as battle screen remains microscopic, so I am on normal settings

5) Only 252x252 maps show properly in game. Anything bigger is not. But this may be due to the fact that I downloaded H3wogXXL.exe from another user, which might have other settings, and this was my question...

I don't have HD version, would like to try it in VCMI. But since even map editor doesn't open it properly giving strange error, I guess there must be some issue with the map itself.

EDIT: WoG didn't open it as well, reporting some bugs about defs and masking.

Just a warning for mapmakers: 1 hex objects or visitable ones placed on x=251 coordinates trigger editor error after you validate map. Did not test without GrayFace patch.

Some RMG templates for extra-huge maps

For people who are interested, I have just made a couple of random map templates, based on the popular "Jebus Cross" template, suitable for these extra-huge HOMM3 maps.

They can be looked at here:  [url=http://samiam.org/homm3]samiam.org/homm3[/url].

I'm still playing HOMM3 not because of any particular religious belief that newer HOMM releases are bad, but because it is the most recent release with a random map generator in the HOMM franchise that runs on my netbook, using the GOG.com release without a CD check. (Is there a legal way to get HOMM5 with its official random map generator and no CD check?  Will this run well on a typical netbook?)

After testing the templates, I discovered that they crash in the midgame as soon as the AI tries to enter or use a town higher than town number 48.  I have updated the template to have 48 or fewer towns; I have also added a really huge template that starts each player with four castles and will make for a full underground even with a 252x252 2-level map.

All templates are for one or two-player games; the other (computer) players have a significant disadvantage at game start.

They're here: [url=http://samiam.org/homm3]samiam.org/homm3[/url]

XXL-patch is part of HD-mod. You can install HD-mod and play 252x252 maps.

That's great that the HD mod now has XXL (XXXL really) map support.  Here's a link to the HD mod:

Download link doesn't work in the first post. Maybe a moderator can fix it?

I cannot edit the first post. You can find the patch here.

__XXL_patch.zip - the patch itself.
heroes3_XXL.zip - the patched executable (if you have problems with patching, sample rmg.txt is in the first archive).

The HeroesIII_XXL.exe does not seem to work for me. I followed the guide in the first post of the thread, but nothing happens when I try to run the application. When I run the XXL.exe it just says that the patching has been done.

First check your version of the game, it should be SoD 3.2. If that is the case, you just need to replace the original heroes3.exe with heroes3_XXL.exe I've provided recently (could be found in the .zip archive).
