how to fix that?
p

Choose different map settings (there are templates available for almost every size, except for probably G+U with water). Or, if you were using a fixed template (by editing rmg file or using hd mod for template choosing), you can change the template to,the appropriate one

Hi, I have a questions about terrain graphics in HotA.lod. I found some new frames in watrtl.def, which inspired me to make a new map editor (to use this elements and make maps using 1x1 mask). Unfortunately watrtl.def file  required a few elements, to build all terrain combinations on map.
There are 4 vertical bays:

and normal horizontalvertical map mirror not enough to rotated by 90 degrees and prepare horizontal bays.

Now questions:
1. Did HotA crew add this new water elements?
2. Do you have any plans to use it?
3. Can you add some new frames, which are need to make all terrain sequences like horizontal bay (4 in watrtl.def and 2 in all terrain .def files)? I can prepare this files.

I downloaded and played HotA today, and I must say it's quite interesting. I like the Cove faction, the piratey atmosphere and the theme song.

Speaking of pirates...was the 'Pirate' modeled after Jack Sparrow or something? Same kind of beard, red headband...

It seems the hill in front of the castle is actually hiding a bend in the river from our viewpoint, where the boat is docked . So, we're made to believe we could walk straight into the castle, while there's actually a river in between, hidden in the landscape .

Dunno, but maybe a redesign for that hill could be more convincing, the dock at the marker for the hill and a little more to the right side, boat floats free on the water or something like that.

Hello guys,

I am new to this forum and mods about my favourite game HoMM 3.
Thanks to all of you who created all these mods!

I got one simple question, probably been answered many times.
Can I use this "Horn of the Abyss" mode on my Complete edition + HD mode 3.807f by baratorch without any concerns about bugs, glitches, etc.?

Thank you in advance! Greetings!

Yes you can. Moreover - all HD mod features can be used in HotA as well as in original game (original game is not concerned in any way by HotA over it and remains fully separately playable).

Thank you @nik312!

This mode looks and feels awesome! It adds so much good features and extras.
Really good job you did there!

I got one more simple question. I have small stuttering or something like this while moving my hero around the map. Do you have any idea what may be causing this?

I am using Windows 8.1 64bit, FullHD res.

Greetings!

Edit: From where can I download maps for this mode and how to install them?

Overall single cell water is an interesting idea, but we haven't yet planned its implementation. Probably someday later.

To implement it only what you need is create map using single cell from watrtl.def in HotA.lod. Standard h3hota_maped.exe can't do this ofc, but I'm working on terrain editor which can do this. This is simple example:



The red borders represent frames which I had to add manually. So only thing I need, is adding this frames to next HotA patch. Then I can finish and public my project.

It's simple to add, I can send you prepare .def file.
Can you consider my proposition?
Thanks a lot.

Is there a way (beside map editing) to play with extension heroes, like Dracon or Gelu on random maps?
Can H3HD help in this endeavor?

Sure, if you'll send correctly assembled def files on our team mail (hotacrew@gmail.com) we will be glad to add those to the next release

Hi,

You should consider editing your h3hota.exe in new version at hex: 284AF8

from:
22:56:00:00:10:00:00:00:01

to:
44:AC:00:00:10:00:00:00:02


This will fix in game music from 22kHz mono to 44kHz stereo

I know that HD mode also fix that but some people don't use this mode, difference in sound is Huge..



@edit:
p.s.
I noticed also that you didn't add fix for armorer skill/special & air shield bug

to do that you need to change h3hota.exe at addresses:
1E3A4
1E4E0
65944

from: 7D
to: 4D


I found that years ago at some forum..

Regards
