if Era 3, you need the mod WoG scripts also activated.

In Era 3 you need WoG scripts activated, did you? That mod comes with Era 3. Bersy separated scripts for Era3, they are no longer included in WoG (core)

S*** that was it! Thanks Valery, i still don't know why era 2 stuff didn't work, but that's a problem for another time.

For some reason i didn't have WoG scripts in my ERA install-s. i downloaded my versions from yandex disk which has all era versions.
That's probably why heroes 3 launcher thingie worked up to a point, but not really. Lots of crashes.

The distribution of Era 3, between last version not having wog scripts and the ERA+ HD-mod + ERA SCRIPTS, which screws all previous custom maps, became a disaster, I concur.

well as you addded "load only this erm" you can add loaded modnames check when map starts and notify user to disable them/
How do you like that idea?

I am inactive, don't have any longer the energy to change settings, test then be sure release is playable, that was my work during 10 long years, right?

I don't deny Era 3 - and its  variants HD + etc are great, is just that for my mods they were a disaster, almost everyday I get complaints. That's it.

Why? Mods contain erm files. My mods restrict the access to new erm files (the purpose of the "load only this erm", right?). Why this obvious and safe setting wasn't kept so we got now this chaos?

Also, as you see in the posts above, Era 3 last version doesn't have the WoG scripts in, so how are we supposed to play anything?

Right! I downloaded ERA III, but where are scripts. I installed 2.9.13 back. If ERA in scripts, we don't need daemon, I think so.. An old 3.58f was easiest install, what we want install and update object 1,09, for example, it works well. Today daemon's version. I'm sorry, no offense. Yes you do a good job. Another old script users can't learn a new script trick, right? Bersy said the same script, but no !#UN:M2/159; worked. No explanation.

True, without ws ERA has less options to play its clean, as long as different assenmlies were made
anyway i tried made all the changes optionable and compatible with as much as possible - but it will not revert old erm syntax to the wog scripts - we just need rewrite them almost at all.
So basic task is just rewrite these wog scripts (and era scripts actually) to make it fully compotible (tbh any mods require that).

About your maps - they are definitely the Greatest. If i had time i want rewrite and adapt all of them with newest and erm2, and json, and 32bit png, and animated graphics support. Unfortunatelly i really don't have enough hands despite i spend ALL my time for H3 ERA modding

One more thing.

Are there any actual new maps being made for ERA?

I only play Valery's maps and a couple of others, but those worked fine on ERA 2. So what is the point of upgrades to the core if there are no
new maps?

I'm probably missing something..

Berserker decided to separate the development of ERA core and WoG mod. So he has more time to focus on ERA and other people can continue to work on WoG scripts. It was a good decision.

When you install clean ERA 3 you also need to install WoG Scripts mod. It has been written here plenty of time.

Have you tried to use the H3 launcher? It is way easier to install than old WoG mod.

"!#UN:M2/159;" what about that? Syntax will still work, in ERA2 or ERA3.


Edit:
@mac
ERA is made for all sorts of various modifications, not only maps.
ERA 3 gives modders easier access and has more modding possibilities than ERA2. If you want new maps someone has to make them, that is regardless of the ERA version.

Era doesn't start and  end with my maps

There are some great mods working with Era3 (because they were written for from the start) and so far the better.

My complaint is that the very basic safety settings which were the core of WoG all those years : share ERA alone with no additional mods changing the game play then let each user to download the mods he wants to play over a CLEAN platform, are gone. Now you have Era alone which doesn't allow to play because no scripts, then on the other side you have the assembly proposed by Daemon, which allows to play but only mods started after Era 3 release, with the new settings inside.
Very bad move in my opinion.

@RerryR

I know cool Bersy and his avatar in Russian community

Ok no yet, because I lost ERA II install. Nice to hear.

Then UN:M belongs

Set new "Month of the" properties.
M0 - Original behaviour
M1 - Disable weeks of monster*2 and all/2
M2/$ - Set up a week of $ monster (monster*2) (see Format C)
M3 - Set up a week of plague (all/2)
Comments:
* 2nd parameter ($) only applies to M2.

Note: it wont disable weeks/months generated by Deities of Fire- imps/familiars will get extra growth and be spawned all over the map regardless

No worked.. also other scripts don't happen.

Ok thanks, if you know later or something script.

that is not actually true - you can disable and enable any mods you wish - my assembly is just like extended old era package with comfortable update way. After updating mod list isn't being changed so you can continue to play. Isn't that good?

Does assembly come with only WoG scripts enabled, or game enhancement  mod + Panda upgrade + some others are activated by default?

ES/WS/game enhancement  mod/BattleSpeed/BattleQueue/Wog Graphics Fix Lite . And what does it change?
If players install other mods then they managed how to disable other ones.

Players are not always modders.

They see map requires Era 3, they download and start playing, they don't go in forums to ask which mods to disable first. And in its default state, the Assembly doesn't allow previous Era 2 maps to be played. It returns errors, scripts don't work and load only these scripts.txt has no effect.

The "new erm" is not a problem, as the old syntax is still processed.

The main problem is increasing incompatibility with old material, due to new plugins, platforms with weird settings, hardcoded and unexpected "fixes" by Bersy (like the clone issue), so I just want to warn everyone who feels like investing hundreds of hours in scripting:
think better because there are big chances your mod will not work within a few months. A waste of time.
