INTRODUCTION:

This is a presentation of all my mods. In this thread you will find download links for all my mods and a brief description of their features. Note that there are links for the original threads of the mods as well. Visit the original thread of any mod you're particularly interested and find out more info for it there (features, installation, troubleshooting etc).

*****IMPORTANT*****PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PROCEED*****

In order for any of the mods to work there is a certain installation procedure that needs to be accomplished. The procedure is quite easy, you just need to read the installation instructions carefully.

PLEASE make sure that you read the installation  instructions (of the mod you're interested in) carefully before posting any questions about it.

That being said, let's see how the mods work:

First of all, the mods aren't compatible with all the versions of WOG or ERA. The compatibility is noted for each mod separately. That's because ERA II uses a completely new way of installing mods on Heroes III. So, as you may notice, there are two compatibility sections:

The older versions of my mods (v1.0 - 3.0) are only compatible with WOG3.58f and ERA v1.0-1.9. HoLv3.1 is compatible with all versions of WOG and ERA, while the newer version (HoLv3.2) is ONLY compatible with ERA II. Let's see the installation instructions for these two cases:

INSTALLATION

***For WOG3.58f and ERA v1.0-1.9***
Extract all files to your Heroes 3 folder
(should be something like C:\Program Files\3DO\Heroes Complete).
Replace where necessary.
Then run the update (H3wUpd in Heroes folder) and let it install.
Load the appropriate WOG Options (also found in the readme file).
Play the Game!

***For ERA II***
Extract all files to "Mods" folder
(If ERA II is installed you will find it in your Heroes III folder).
Load the appropriate WOG Options (also found in the readme file).
Play the Game!

As you might deduce, the installation of the mod is not enough. The appropriate WOG Options need to be loaded for the scripting part of my mods to function. So:

***MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT WOG OPTIONS***

The obligatory WOG options differ from mod to mod. They can be found in three different places:

1) In the readme file (of each mod)
2) In the original thread (of each mod)
3) In the dat file (of each mod)

Before starting any game, make sure that you have the appropriate WOG Options. The easiest way is mentioned in the installation instructions: Load the dat file with the default WOG options and you are done. Of course you could do this manually, by finding the obligatory WOG Options mentioned in the readme file (or the original thread) and turn them ON or OFF accordingly.

Once again,

PLEASE make sure that you read these previous instructions carefully before posting any questions.

On a closing note, my mods need the New Objects patch v1.9 to work (for the map editor, campaigns and tutorial maps).

You can download them here:

WOG3.58f and ERA v1.0-1.9

Place on the Update folder and run the h3wupd.exe.

I want to specially thank:

Salamandre, Bersy ,Solitaire345, Astaroth, OxFEA and JonJ

for their help and support with all the scripts, graphics etc.

Hello! I stumbled upon your mod when I was looking at Heroes III videos on YouTube for no real reason, and I ended up downloading the previous version in standalone form (even if I could install one of these mods for my life, I don't even have my old Heroes III Complete disk) and playing a few games. Needless to say, it was fantastic, though it's been years since I've played the game. I'm wondering when a similar standalone download will be uploaded.

Oh, so 3.2 atm only adds combination artifacts and a few unit changes?

Did Faerie Dragon and Azsure Dragon get replaced with Siren and Dryad?

Then you obviously didn't read the thread (at all).

Versions 1.2, 2.2, 3.0 and 3.1 are compatible ONLY with WOG3.58f and older versions of ERA (1.0 - 1.9)

HoLv3.2 is compatible with ERA II ONLY!!!

This means that you have to install ERA II on a clean Heroes III Complete/SoD game (with no WOG, or anything on it) and then follow the instructions for HoLv3.2 installation given in the end of the first post.

What you did (I assume) is that you installed HoLv1.2 on your WOG installation (and so got dryads and Sirens) and then tried to install HoLv3.2 as well (on WOG and not ERA II).

Again, ERA II is needed for the latest version of my mod. And ERA II needs a clean Heroes III to work (not WOG).

All I originally downloaded was Era II and your mod, 3.0 Standalone, and Crimson Tides expansion, Now I'm trying to get your 3.2 to work, and it's not properly going through. (I've never downloaded WoG)
But doesn't Era II have WoG within it? Is that what your saying?

Umm, sorry to pester you, but in an earlier post I asked for an approximation of when a stand-alone version would be released and would it be alright if you could give me an estimate? Haven't got the ability to install such a mod for various reasons.

@Slayer

OK... once again.

For HoLv3.2 to work you need to follow these steps:

-> Install Heroes III Complete or SoD on your computer

-> Download and install ERA II on this CLEAN installation of Heroes III

-> Download HoLv3.2 and follow the installation instructions

You don't need the standalone version, nor v3.0 nor anything else... You just need ERA II on a clean Heroes III installation (and by clean I mean no WOG no HoL no nothing on it).

I can't make it any clearer...

@Un67

There won't be a standalone version for HoLv3.2

The only reason I made the standalone version for HoLv3.1 was that a lot of people didn't understand the installation process or had problems with the H3Wupdater. These problems are dealt with by ERA II and it's simple mod installation.

I didn't like the standalone version anyway because I didn't want to include a free copy of Heroes III with it. That's why I will delete it altogether tomorrow and have it replaced with the ERA II version.

Ok, thank you for the help, just one last thing, what .exe does it use to start? I know which .exe it uses in 3.0 and 3.1 but I don't see that .exe anywhere.

I did everything you told us to do - Get SoD, download and install ERA II, and copy/pasted your files into the mod folder, but I don't see the mod working. I loaded the dat file, and tried plenty of times. What seems to be wrong??

I can answer this one, use a decompressor/whatever-you-want-to-call-it to extract it into the folder. (WinRar's Trial is a good one)

I did indeed used WinRar to extract all the files, but the mod still isn't working/showing.

Brilliant! It is a joy to play your new version. Thank you
Just one question: Is it just me - or is it one very rarely possible to choose a specific hero when starting a new game? They seems to be stuck on "random"
Best regards
