How to Play Original Campaigns? HELP~~~

Hi I just installed WOG with erm (All in 1 installer) on windows 7 64b pc. I noticed this installer modifies your AB campaign files, you have to copy back 4 AB.lod files in order for AB campaign to work in WOG.

I ran wog but I notice SOD campaign is missing, it has been replaced by WOG. Is it possible to avoid WOG and put back SOD campaign?

I know we can extract the campaigns and put them as custom maps. If we do that, the quest artifacts will not trasnfer to the next senario =(

Is there a way to play Original campaigns in WOGfied (while keeping quest rewards)?

I believe it's hard-coded into wog. The only way I could think of to wogify original campaigns is to get original campaign files, copy them into the maps folder, and then play them as custom campaigns.

Sorry, must have missed that. I'm not sure if you can use a resource-editer to insert and overwrite wogs with originals, other than that, I'm fresh out of ideas. Sorry.

I am taking a really wild guess here but how about running the original heroes 3 .exe starting the SoD campaing save the game, exit the original H3
Start the WOG .exe loading the save...

I really don't know if it works(haven't tried it), and if works, I don't know if it would be wogified (or at least if the next scenarios after the 1st would be)

Anyway...the only known way is the one Cepheus wrote in this thread:

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.


But Iyou said you have done that and you don't want that...

the easiest way: copy your HoMM3 in a second folder and use that for WoG. No harm.

SOD campaigns will not work properly in WoG anyway.

Thanks all for replying. I thought this is going to be ignored.

Huh? how do I do that? U mean a clean (without WOG) in another heroes3 folder? Even if I copy the whole WOG folder to another place and run it from there, It still gives back WOG camapaign.

The saved game is a possible solution, it's only the the first map of 'that' campaign without WOG. after that, when you win that campaign....we are back to wog campaign again.
