Two plugins I used and would like to see incorporated are the ones which let me choose Yes or No while visiting Witch's Hut, and also while receiving a secondary skill from adventure map Scholar.

In this new version with HD+ disabled:
How can I change the way "restart scenario" works in random maps?
Right now it creates the whole map all over again, not just changing heroes in tavern and some resources and artifacts allocation.
In previous versions I just unticked HD+ and "restart scenario" worked "normally".

Does it mean the SoD_SP plugin won't work anymore either??
Could you please make an option to enable/disable plugin support? It seems that's the only way to make everyone happy...

You need latest beta 25 launcher to enter online lobby.I can`t go to online lobby because my HOMM3launcher is HD 5.0 beta 19. It offers update, I accept it but it does not update. I try to download from official site, but its still beta 19.Does anyone has similar problems?

Current version still works for SoD with latest HDmod.
For HotA it receives the same fate as all other plugins, it is simply not activated with latest HDmod.
I can understand why HotA crew would want to disable plugins for lobby/multiplayer and preventing them from loading in the first place is certainly the easiest way to ensure nobody can use/make a plugin that gives them unfair advantage. (And that is why SoD_SP has multiplayer checks.)
Another option which may be explored is to unload plugins for multiplayer games, an existing feature of patcher_x86. This way you can still use plugins for single player and everybody should be on equal foot for multiplayer. Of course this would mean some ill-intended persons could circumvent this unloading process. But one may point out that these persons would likely be knowledgeable enough to load plugins without HDmod, or any other form of cheating which I won't get into.
If the intent is indeed to prevent single player modification of HotA by plugin, that's fair game. It's their product and they can deliver it as they see fit. Personally I don't mind since I don't play HotA, OTOH I suppose the community would appreciate any form of clarification regarding this decision.
Whichever way this goes, thank you for reading the community's feedback

There were posts about plug-ins not working with Beta 25, so I "asked" to make sure before I update the HD mod...

I don't wanna drag it but baratorch's answer was about the HW rules, and he left the plug-in part hanging, so I had to ask...

@baratorch:
If "multiplayer cheat" or similiar is the reason for disabling plugins, then disabling all plugins is nonsense.
Instead you should simply add an option ingame "allow plugins". With help of this every host can decide if plugins are allowed or not (and if someone has a plugin, he can not join). You are the creator of the plugin tool, so it should be easy to implement something so the game can detect plugins.
I personally enjoy playing LAN with my firends multiplayer with plugins, so I won't update HD Mod, if it prevents playing with plugins.
You as a modder should understand how bad the decision is, to disable the possiblity to mod a game easily. Imagine someone would forbid you to publish your HD mod, or the HOTA mod in general. This would be just horrible. So please do not forbid other people to mod the game easily with help of plugins.

Here is the good news: It is not the update feature's fault.
Instead, the god damn file protection feature of our internet security suites are to be blamed, entirely.
All you have to do, is to disable the file scanning feature of these newest packages of Internet Security Suites from both most popular ones in the whole wide world: BitDefender and Norton.
Once that is done, re-launch the main HD+ window that gives you access to all of your mods and HD mods. Uncheck the automatic check for an update's little box and, click on the update button to launch the updating procedure(s).
Just ignore the pop-up messages warning about the attempt to access your HDD's files. Once all done, re-launch the Heroes 3 HD+ window by using the launcher icon that you should have on the desktop window at all times BTW.
P.S. Deleting the previous HD+ made .exes and remake them is highly recommended. At least from my point of view.
Good Luck at re-updating the HD+ main file.

Now, all 7 titles can be played on Windows 10 Home/Pro Editions. Thanks to the good ole' Gog.com people, all the series can be played on any decent multi-core PC.

Hey, does anyone have a link to install HD Mod v5.0 beta 19 (or the actual setup package for beta 19 on their drive)? It was the version that worked best for me, and unfortunately the latest beta 26 doesn't work at all, crashes right away when starting h3era with it. I'm not interested in using it for HotA.
I only have an old beta 5 setup saved, and was usually installing that and then updating to latest version, didn't expect to run into a crash though
Please contact me by PM if you can help with this, I'm heartbroken atm. Thanks

Baratorch, my grip with latest HD (5.0 beta 19) is that I can't split/unite anymore armies in hero screen while playing Era. Is not a matter of tweaking, as with vanilla is works, can you please take a look in?
@edit later: Also managing creatures stacks when in adventure map, (shift + click) doesn't work properly anymore. It splits correctly first two times then first stack remains unchanged while it continues splitting the others.
Is it possible to get a link to 4.206? Looks like is the latest working properly with era, please.
