Hi guys,

I'm trying to replace the Conflux with another faction, which has required overwriting files in several folders (GEM, Wog Fix Lite...). However, there is no way on Earth I can overwrite the Pyre (both basic and upgraded). I mean, I've replaced those files with the new ones in every folder/file I could find, but it will still appear on the town screen. I know the problem is related to the HD mod because if I run the game without HD, the replacement works properly.

Any ideas on this?

I forgot to mention, I haven't updated the pack for the last two releases because I was working on the translation. I don't know if the issue I've mentioned has been addressed in the latest updates (I don't recall Daemon writing about it at least).

Problem is with hd-mod. So look for .def files inside folder _hd_data and replace them also.

Just saw this thread and installed latest ERA version.

Up to now I had ERA 2.9.13 Hd installed and could play my favorite rmg in "G" size (esp. "Coldshadow Fantasy" rmg).

With new ERA HD (5.2 R78 launcher), I can only chose XL map size when chosing that specific rmg...when clicking "G" or anyhting else bigger than "XL", it shows typical message "could not create map that fits current choices"...

What can I do?

Not all templates can generate H and G sized maps, only few of them.

Just saw that it seems there are 2 versions of this rmg in my older ERA version...the 2nd one is called Coldshadow fantasy XXL....that could be the reason....now I have to see how I get this rmg into new ERA folder (I installed new version of ERA in new folder....to keep all the stuff of older version if installation of new version would not work properly...)

Update: Nevermind...found the rmg and saved it in new ERA folder...now it works again

the Orb of Inhibition artifact script (Orb Of Inhibition may be traded to modify a creature's abilities) may not work in the current version of ERA 3 Launcher. The creature does not receive the special ability.

Woohoo! Awesome. I noticed some Wog Scripts are by Donald X Varcarno. Is that a username or does the creator of the Dominions card game also mod heroes?

Is there no way to download everything without using the launcher?  Do I have to use the launcher for an "update"?

This is an incredibly inconvenient way to provide new patches.  First of all, my launcher is failing to download anything at all, giving me the simple statement:

"The patching process was aborted."

Secondly, I don't like that if I want to install this on older machines that don't have internet capability I can't because they need to be able to "update".

I hope I'm missing something or it's all just a misunderstanding because right now this feels a lot like a very Blizzard-Activision approach to updates.

I've searched the forums, heroes3wog.net, search engines...  None have given me any means of downloading everything without the launcher.  On heroes3wog.net, it states the launcher data size is anywhere from 26MB to 1GB; I can only surmise that the 1GB is the totality of all the files assuming the launcher update was actually working.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you in advance.

My advice would be to get the launcher running.
There was a hosting problem today, which is resolved now.
If you are still having trouble you can join the discord and you will get help:

Some of the mods can also be found on the git repository

I don't mean to come off as rude but that's a very disappointing answer.  It implies that the direction of this project is heading towards eliminating stand-alone downloads, a pursuit that is similarly shared by very large tech businesses (who end up alienating their client base).

Do you happen to know if there is a good reason for why this is the case?  I can't imagine I'm the only individual who would prefer not to use an internal launcher (i.e., a program) simply to download something.

Got the launcher to run, did the updates, and tried to install WoG and it just hangs.  Noticed that my "mod manager" is grayed out, whereas I used to have a very nice mod manager before.  I'm sure there's a reason that it's not working properly, but that's the problem: these complications didn't exist before.

This may work for the Heroes community overall, but I had no troubles whatsoever before.  Hopefully something will be done for those of us who disagree with this approach.  If not, I'll just stick with past versions and be grateful for what I have.

There were plenty of reasons to have this launcher. It greatly facilitates our work and saves us time. I believe many players are grateful to have such an easy way to get the most up-to-date WoG/ERA there ever was.
Only several people are contributing to this project, but the community is still strong and very active on the discord server.
The goal of the launcher is not only to keep the players game updated, we also want to give them access to some of the best mods for ERA3, which they may not find otherwise.

Standalone downloads proved to be cumbersome to maintain, especially when there are many fixes and development. You have to upload them in different languages, on different hosting sites and many links are shared and then soon outdated.

On the Russian H3 forum you can still find links to assemblies from Panda or Igrik, these will most likely work on their own. But there are already plenty of new versions from various mods, good luck collecting them each on their own.
The assembly from Daemon will not return as a standalone download, but I linked you to the repository where most is to download.

Edit: If the installation process does not work I offered you to join the discord and ask for help. So far it always worked out.
