Black battlefield??

Good evening guys I've come to seek aid to a problem much severe!
Lately when I've been playing Heroes, (I play Wog) the battlefield's 9 out of 10 times been blacked out like this:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Also when moving, the units leave an image of how they were before(as I think you can also see in the picture)

Why does it do this? Can anyone help?

Best regards

The only times I saw a black battle field was when I misspelled the battlefield pcx I wanted to use in some script. Combined with your units glitch, it may not be the same reason, I guess. All I can advice is to reinstall the whole thing. WoG 3.58+ERA installer is fast, then see if does again.

Have you enabled new battlefields in WoG options?

Of course he did. And of course he forgot to install graphic pack for this.

Having 90% battlefields an battlefield with missing PCX background is enough proof.

I'm not trying to fight anybody, I already stated I'll try to help by mentioning just installing the graphic pack is enough to fix (either the results of the script would be not desired one).

Then I'm interested in "It's not a bug but feature!" approach on ERM, as I already get into using some ERM bugs on purporse. It seems setting empty string or a string dissallowed for valid filename may give black battlefield on purporse. Then add a single command to remove all obstacles. Finally we have Void Battlefield! Only two ERM commands and no resources needed.

Autumn Rampart ,Black Battlefield

sry for posting this in here, but i cannot make a new thread , and this one kinda fits so.

i have a problem with a black battle field in the autumn rampart /nim rampart mod, since i have no clue from mod stuff and such, maybe i did something wrong...


I use era 2 with following mods : New Commander Pack , New Objects Patch , NIM Rampart,
New Interface Mod , Yona , WoG.


And my problem is that the new battlefield for rampart, since autumn rampart mod  change the
orginal battlefield , is completly black, (when autumn rampart is sieged for example.)
it only shows obstcales , like walls, towers, and such. same as the screenshot in first post of the thread ( i just dont have the unit error from the screenshot, only my  battlefield is black)


i already tryed to turn of most other mods - doesn't helped me.

I downloaded the 68script and put it in the wog/data/s folder - doesn't helped me aswell

Then i checked and unchecked "new battlefields" in the wog options - also doesn't helped.

I tryed to look for the graphic pack, wich my foreposter mentioned , but i couldn't find a link or anything ...

Can anyone help me?

Hello,
I like very much playing with NIM for Rampart, but I don't like much the new battlefields in WOG options, is there a way or workaround to keep the RNIM siege battlefield without using new battlefield in wog options ?
Thx

Found the solution :

Had to get the missing (??) background [url=http://wogarchive.ru/file.php?id=162]here[/url], then add it to the .pac file (...Mods/NIM Rampart/Data) using MMArchive (Era Start/SndVidPac Editor). New Battlefields option disabled but beautiful [url=https://www.box.com/s/08k1mb78y3q430mvhd0m]Morn battlefields[/url] enabled under mod manager.

Suggesting to stick [url=http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=37495&pagenumber=1]this thread (Era II Mod/Maps)[/url] and maybe add Morn's battlefield on first page (which actually are on page 19) ?

Btw, GREAT MODS OUT HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same problem on new install

Hello,
I am having the same problem as the thread starter. However this happens on a new installation of era.

I deleted all registry entries of heroes 3 (as there were still some left from previous installations). Installed heroes 3 complete and then installed Era 2.46 (unpacked it to C:\Program Files (x86)\3DO\Heroes 3 Complete).

The issue happens every time when installing.

Can anyone help me with this?


EDIT:
I disabled new battlefields and now I can at least play the game again. However I would still like to know what is wrong with my installation. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

You figured it yourself, "new battlefields" under wog options must be OFF =) If you have Morn's ones under mod manager you have the best ones out there.

Don't know if I should create a new thread, but since I have issues with some black battlefields and this thread is about black battlefields, here's my problem:

First of all I play with these mods (exactly as I see them in Mod Manager):

Vallex Portraits
Yona [5.0]
#era badluck_plaugemonth (should be plaGUemonth!)
WOG Revised
Sagamosa Remade
In The Wake Of Gods [1.0]

The game runs under windows 8.1 64bits.

Before I send a saved file, I want to know if someone I able to see, when you reach level 20, the advanced level for:
Elementalist (you should see a golem in the battlefield).
Druid (you should see a big Ent next to the hero on the battlefield, casting Huorns).
Heretic (you should see a Balrog, casting armageddon).

Right now, after a week of trying lots of configurations (with or without the WOG option "new battlefield", just Sagamosa Mod or with other mods loaded), the moment I reach the 4th advanced level for any of the 3 heroes, the next battle is always on a black battlefield, and with the very annoying "shadows" of the dead monsters, or the double or triple shadow of a monster that moves around the battlefield.

For me, it seems like a bug, but maybe not, since nobody ever said anything about it. The .pcx files are in the sagamosa folder, so the problem is not with missing files. I thought about a conflicting mod with the sagamosa mod, but right now that doesn't seem to be the case.

So I'm stuck and I'm waiting for solutions

Well, first of all, support is offered for mods available in Era mods thread. Any changes to one of those mods are subjective and the player should address his complain to the mod maker. In this case, is Felipe, who modified Sagamosa.

Sagamosa is a very complex and big mod. I wish Sagamosa himself had finished his genius work but he is no longer interested, it seems. There are still errors, fixing them require complex scripting knowledge and a lot of time.

I received your email but I don't have Sagamosa remade mod, only the original. I can't help, sorry.

Thank you Salamandre. I forgot to say that I had the same problem with the original Sagamosa too.

My first step is to ask if somebody is able to reach the 4th advanced level with one of the 3 conflicting hero class (with Original Sagamosa or Sagamosa Remade, maybe both) and if it works fine on his computer.

If the answer is yes, then it will narrow a lot the reason why this is happening on my system.

If nobody can't reach that level without a black battlefield, then it will be a (new?) bug never corrected from the original mod.

IMO, Sagamosa (Remade) is the ultimate mod for WOG. What a pity that it was never finished.

Like you said, I will ask Felipe in the Era mods thread if he's aware of my issue and if there's something he can do about it.

Thanks again, much appreciated
