CakeTrolley said: Okey. I'm not good when it comes to installing and stuff. I have Heroes 3 Complete bought from Gog. So if I want to play the HD mod, era II mod and Horn of the abyss, in which order should I install everything?
Thanks in advance,
I don't think Era II and HotA are compatible (someone correct me if I'm wrong, though - I don't use Era II myself, just HotA). HD mod should be installed last though.
So basically, you start with the installation of the base game, then you install HotA and/or Era II, and finish with the HD mod. Launch the game from the HD mod launcher, selecting the proper incarnation from its launch menu.

I wouldn't mix Hota and Era in same game folder. Yes then from HDLauncher create HD.exe

Yes, creating two separate H3 folders, one for HotA and one for Era would be much safer. Just duplicate the vanilla game folder, the size is nothing by today's standarts anyway.

Hello people!
I've got a question.
I used to have in this HD mod (which is wonderful by the way) a thing that when you would left click on a hero on the advanced options of a scenery, it will tell you a lot of info about this hero, not only his speciallity, but also other specs from him/her. Suddenly it is not doing that anymore, anyone know how can I bring it back?
cheers

I experienced the same. I think it depends on the map you are playing. Some scenarios don't allow certain heroes/towns and then it doesn't work. But if you play a random map it should always work.

How to start Heroes with HD mod?
Hello everyone!
I just downloaded Heroes III Complete Edition from GOG.com (Goodoldgames). How do I start the game with the HD-MOD?

Download and install HDMod in game folder. Set resolution and stuff from HDLauncher then create HD.exe and run it.

Excuse me for being really stupid but exactly how do I do?
How do I install it in the game folder? (I know I probably should know this).

After you double clic the installer make sure installation path is your game folder (something like /yourusername/goggames/h3complete or whatever your path is).

The Launcher has a load of resolution options on the right side of the screen. What the "best" resolution is, is arguably a matter of personal taste . Just try the various settings until you come across one that suits your tastes.

I see!
Is it the same with "Mode" and "Stretch Filter" too, I mean to find your personal taste? Or is it an alternative there that everybody chooses?

Very much so. My personal favorite setting is 1152x864 (on a 1920x1080 monitor) with original 16-bit colors. I tried a few of the other settings but they gave a bit of a washed out feeling for me, or simply be too small to really love all the intricate details.

I understand! Although, when I try to play with some of the resolutions, I can't see the entire screen. It's like the screen has moved to much to the bottom right, is this fixable?

That's very strange, can you tell which Mode and Stretch filter you selected? Did you touch other settings?

The only one that works for me is 32-bit True (stretchable) GDI, 1180x664 and the stretch filter Bilinear SharperX2 (M).
And I have not changed any other setting.
I have pressed System Cursors, Full screen mode, No CD/DVD and HD+.
