Is there any way to disable that "cpu performance increase" you've made?
It makes my cpu to work at over 90% when I play and my PC is freezing(screen freezes and only RESET is fixing it), every once in a while...

Crash on Linux/Wine
Hi,
really nice idea. But it crashes on Linux/Wine with a memory access error.
Installed Era 2.4 on clean H3 Complete.
Update: I tried another era.dll. This got me slightly further. But it still crashes. Now wine is able to catch that error. The wine debugger gave me this result:
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address (nil) (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00000000).

Since the topmost module is the bink player,and the reason is a null pointer, this may be caused by a resource problem.

Hi Siegried, nice to see you back.
Unfortunately Linux/Wine is not supported from what I've read. Will work with a virtualized XP.

Nice to see you still active.
So because i do not have any windows version it seems i have to skip era. Maybe have a look at vcmi again.
BTW, as far as i can see this is mainly a problem with wine and the binkw32.dll. Other games using that do crash too.

Hey guys,
Sometimes, during battle, when it's the First Aid Tent's turn, the game crashes with this error:
Any ideas, how to fix this, will be appreciated...

I also had crashes if AI creature is standing next to my tent. First suggestion would be to rename mods/wog revised/data/s/bers pack.erm to bers pack.test, reload game, press F12 and see if still crashes. If still, then is something about enhanced warmachines.

Thx Salamandre,
Tried what you've said, but this time, other error showed up:
Guess then, it's a enhanced war machines problem...

That's a vanilla Heroes 3 bug. The tent does 1 dmg to the hex in front of it, but the crash occurs only if you control the tent yourself, I believe so.

It never happens vs neutrals, only if enemy hero, so I think is related to scripts checking tents number etc. Saves in win7 are in different folder I recall, just do a search for any .GM1 files and you will find where.
@Lord_BrutalMan, don't forget to rename back bers pack.erm. It can't be war machines plugin, I have same crash and I never use that bin. So far it occurs if one creature is standing next to your tent only.

Yep, h3 bug. When I replaced tent def with archangel's one, the bug was over. Later itsjustme made updated def for tent which was included in Era, but it seems that it does not work for war machines script. Maybe war machines script change creature type - I don't know.

Well, The problem only occurs when it's the First Aid's turn and the player points at the near standing AI unit. If you try to heal your units, everything is okay. The game crashes ONLY, if there is a AI unit next to the First Aid and you point at/click on it.
Wouldn't say it's a big deal...
EDIT:

Ahahaha, That's a great way to avoid it! No doubt!...

Bersy are you sure it were included? if yes maybe different patching on def is needed for removing tent bug. I suggest filling ALL missing animations with one of tent defending/taking hit - maybe it's trying to use different animation than one injected in the patch.
Also I think changing creature ID seems not a problem until you try shoot with non-shooter ID-wise. It seems patch you included for catapult def works, even with trickies the script for nos-siege-balista does (trick changes creature ID to magog temporary).
I suppose it's same old missing-animation-bug, but since first aid tent is not caster nor shooter nor melee unit but something unique on it's own still it's great chance that's another bug of homm3 so even "more" patched def is not sure to suffice.
From easy ways of patching i can think a few reasons: (1) "somebody" forgot to include patched def so normal attack animation is still missing, (2) not all 3 attack animations were patched so bug occurs only when counterattack from some sides (there are 3 basic animations for attack), (3) somebody mismatched animations in patching - there are different attack animations for 2 hex creatures in def format for some reason, (4) first aid tent is perhaps coded to use another animations for attack such as shooting one or breathing one. So if any of four reasons I pointed here is source of DEF patching not beeing succesful to overcome the bug - filling all missing animations in def with some should suffice.
PS: thinking back the problem may come when switching double-wide flag rather than creature id, so it may be also a bug in script which changges the tent to another cre-id if it is also removing the flag, but my bulky approach would also fix it hence no matter double-wide or not the attack animation will exist. Also since first aid tent is unique in the way it's neither caster nor shooter nor melee there may be some hardcoded things related to the bug (which could make doing workaround harder).
PPS: Hi! I am alive! Sorry to say but my announced to be produced mods will greatly delay it's apperance for not-to-be-said reasons, but I'm not a liar - let's hope some of them will be finished before VCMI would be fully playable, moddable and scriptable  (if unfortunately not I will publish some of them for VCMI not ERA, but if waiting for VCMI being "fully complete" is as long as it seems I hope to finish some of my mods quickier as I am also in hope to actually play them). (((Bersy please don't be mad at me for stealing your thread for that announcement, and it's only announcement so I promise I won't make it offtopic campaign)))

Well, it would take you 10 seconds to open lod and check if tent is updated and if animations are right. This was the first thing I checked when bug occurred, so if nobody brings anymore def problem, is because there is nothing wrong with that.

Hi, majaczek. Val is right about def. It has all animations. And still, would be nice to have a saved game with war machines on and more or less stable hang when mouse is over tent.
Btw, while you were away, the hmm35wog.pac hack was removed and now the game really does not depends on WoG mod except necessary resources. All zvslib1.dll dialogs load resources with mods system in mind.
