1.17.7



Version 1.17.7
[+] SoD_SP options dialog now clearly displays which options are locked by the mapmaker (if any)
[+] H3API::H3Dlg background drawing efficiency has been greatly improved by drawing to a common canvas, following H3 logic
[+] H3.TextColor rewritten using Binary tree for improved performance
H3.TextColor now reads colors from H3.TextColor.ini, you can modify this file as you see fit
H3.TextColor now allows you to add colors once the plugin is already loaded
H3.TextColor variables are now obtained via H3Plugin::TextColor::GetTextColor() call.
[+] Dependencies have been further reduced, relying more on H3 Assets. DLL size has been reduced.
[-] The SoD_SP [other] options were not being read due to a typo in version 1.17.6
[-] Increased quicksave name dialog width to display full editable text



A number of improvements this time around, but also a stupid mistake correction. When I introduced the new Ini reader, I made a typo in one of the fields and all of the [other] fields were not read.... meaning the 1.17.6 plugin will not check for an updated version.

H3.TextColor was greatly improved in terms of performance and customization; you can make your own colors or modify existing ones at your leisure. I've also changed this dialog to show you which color you are currently looking at... also it's now showed alphabetically.


If you ever wondered about mapmaker features, the options dialog will now show you which options are locked by the mapmaker by graying out the affected options.

ERA compatibility is still on the to-do list, I've just been more interested by other things resulting in me pushing it back over and over

Thanks for the note there's bound to be some more of these due to my heavy use of copy paste, I've fixed several over time as I end up using them but this one is not used yet
This one is now fixed, for any future mistakes you notice you can get in touch as you've done or raise the issue on github directly or even make a pull request. I don't post much lately but I still check forums a few times daily.

You will not like the modding ERA. You will not like it very much.


I understood. I will try to do reports on GitHub.

You're probably correct; there's a lot of different things (for example Berserker hooked GetCurrentDirectory() and returns length + 1) and I don't have as much flexibility with game assets (lod table) which is one of the main delays in conversion given I'd rather keep the plugin as an HDmod plugin and not an ERA plugin.

On the plus side, I see you've already integrated a lot of the things SoD_SP offers which reduces the need for me to do it

1.17.8



Version 1.17.8
[+] SoD_SP logging now adds the date to all crash log files
   SoD_SP logging no longer logs consecutive duplicate hook data
[ ] H3.TextColor now accepts spaces within color names
[-] Fixed H3.TextColor color value of DarkGreen
[-] Fixed a bug in H3.CombatAnimation that would sometimes crash the game



Just some bug fixes and minor improvements for logging.
The next significant modifications will come with 1.18; I have no ETA on it.

Would be possible to remove Cheater Rank if you use debug menu?

It's not something I would want to provide. Cheating flag is there for something

You might already know this, but HD Mode chat icon in the bottom right corner of the screen is visible again (probably due to HDM updates) and overlaps date menu.

HDmod 5.0 RC63 release

The latest HDmod release has broken a few features depending on whether you are using 32-bit graphical modes, notably custom text color, fast spell animations, ... I've had a quick look at 16-bit modes and those seem to fare fine graphically.

A new release is out to enable custom text color with the new graphical modes, along with the updated code if it's of any interest to anyone. It'll be naturally included with the next SoD_SP release but simply updating this does not warrant a version update, considering the 1.18 features are not yet completed.

I'll be looking at the 32-bit modes to re-enable turbo spells. If anyone notices other broken features, please let me know

@RoseKavalier,

In 32-bit Modes now all _Palette16_ replaced with _Palette32_:

NOALIGN struct _Palette32_ : public _BinTreeItem_
{
// + 28
_word_ colors16[254];
_dword_* colors32;
};


colors16 used only in the game.pal

_Palette32_ have to be created with ingame constructor functions
and destroyed with ingame destructors.

Writing to _Palette32_::colors16[254], _Palette32_ colors16[255]
will broke the game.

All new palette has type = 0x0061 instead of 0x0060

Pretty cool work on this, must have been quite a bit of work to get all of this working.

I have some questions which I'll get across to you at some point, many thanks for your post!

What an awesome project! This has come so far since I saw it the last time! I am in awe.


I just had an idea for a feature - I am not sure if it is maybe too niche however.

You know how on some hexes during a siege, you can shoot through the walls without a ranged penalty? Always taking out that one image in order to see which hex to place your troops on is quite the hassle. The feature I am thinking about would let you select an unit (yours or enemy) and show you all hexes from which you can do full damage - that way it is not only for extremely niche cases. In the example of the castle, it would then highlight all hexes within the normal range within the walls, as well as the few `special`hexes from outside.

Probably too much hassle for the gain it gives, but I thought I would share the idea

Interesting idea, I can integrate it in 1.19 as it relates to some of the things I want to implement there. I'd say long time no see, but we already covered that

Just coming back to HOMM3 after maybe five years away and enjoying it. Can anyone give me advice on the current state of plug-ins you'd recommend? I am running the GOG version of Complete with the HD mod - seems like this group thinks I should add this? Any other plug-ins in common use that I should look at?

Thanks in advance.

Playing SoD HD I have problems that I don’t know how to fix them:
1. Cutscenes are not loaded.
2. The sound of the Clone is not played.
3. When the computer applies the Resurrection to some unit, this unit does not walk at all, but stupidly stands, and thus the battle does not continue, you have to restart it.
4. When you lose the enemy with level 6424, game crashes.
5. When the computer goes with a hero with a legions army, game crashes.

I have a few more plugins that are not packaged with SoD_SP, check my repository.

There are some more posted here [RU].

If you are having issues with SoD_SP specifically, please send me the crash logs + saves.
