You must download and install WoG Scripts Mod. I had it linked recently to Sal somewhere.

Or you just use the H3 Launcher, it includes everything:

Thx. I have that one working. What I was missing is exactly that file, that I've already found but probably in an older version.
I want to have both platforms working at the same time, separately, cause I play (and study) the heavily scripted maps that will have problems with things like the difficulty mod (that I've found quite balanced) and were configured the old way.

Russian scenarios in English Era III install
Hello there, I'm quite new to Era!
I'm posting here because I ran into a problem: all my scenarios in my English language Era III install are in Russian language. I saw another post from another user that had my same problem, but can't remember where I found it.
Anyway, I made sure that mine was a fresh install in a new folder (and not installed in the ProgramsFiles folder, of course), so I'm 300% sure that I did everything right!
What can I do to restore the scenarios in English language? Has the mod been packaged wrong?

The mod has been packed wrong, until it gets updated you can just replace the scenarios with the English ones from a different installation.

I'm having a problem with the use of z vars, too many are claimed and some more used without claim. Is there a way in Era III to "expand" them? I need them for specialties descriptions, heroes names and other minor stuff.

For all heroes specialties you can use a single z var, modified when you click on specialty icon. For names you don't need z vars, why not simply in editor?

Yes in ERA string variables are much better available.
For more examples, you can browse some of the newer mods. Combine this with what Sal said and you can store an unlimited amount of text.
Version 2.6.2
------------------------
[+] Added localization support for ERM scripts. All Lang*.json files are loaded and merged into single dictionary of key => value pairs with language data.
Json files must be saved in UTF-8 encoding with preferably Unix line endings (#10 = 0x0A). The format is the following:
{
"unique global key": "translation",
"another key": "another translation"
}
During file loading text is converted from UTF-8 (Unicode, i.e Russian, Polish, Chinese and any other language is supported) into ANSI-encoding, used by player's operational system, ex. Windows-1251.
Thus you may ship the translation, other people may open and edit it without loss and characters, not representable on particular PC, will be replaced with "?".
Real example:
{
"eqs.this_day_savegame_name": "@day@_@player@",
"eqs.end_turn_autosave_name": "@day@_@player@_End",
"eqs.quicksave_name": "@day@_@player@_Quick",
"eqs.saved_msg": "Saved!",
"eqs.quicksaved_msg": "Quicksaved!"
}
It's recommended to prefix each key with string, unique for mod or author, like "pm." for "Phoenix Mod".
Translations may have parameters in the form of "@parameter name@". Those parameters are replaced with actual values during translation.
New ERM command !!SN:T is used to translate strings by key.
!!SN:T(key)/?(z-variable to place result to)/(parameter name 1)/(parameter value 1)/(parameter name 2)/(parameter value 2)...;
Example:
!!OW:R-1/6/?y1; y1 - player's gold amount
!!SN:T^test.gold_amount_report^/?z2/^gold^/y1;
!!IF:M^%Z2^; prints "You have 12850 gold left. Not bad!"
my test.json:
{
"test.gold_amount_report": "You have @gold@ gold left. Not bad!"
}

Thank you both for the quick answer.
I never thought about that but Sal is right (as usual), it's quite easy to create a function on mouse click and immediately save twenty vars.

Because it's a generic mod, not a map.

!!en:;
!!if&v1=5:; sorsha
!!VRz1:S^Can upgrade Ancient Behemots and Chaos Hydras to Praetorians!^;
!!UN:G2/5/2/1;
!!en:;
!!if&v1=26:; eleshar
!!VRz1:S^Can upgrade Thunderbirds and Magic Elementals to Heavy Cavalry!^;
!!UN:G2/26/2/1;

Ok. Found it. But if I'm going to use this one for the names, why not use HeroSpec for the specialties text? And can I alter the costs in Buildings.txt to change the cost of buildings?
Just asking before making some obvious mistake...

Look, you have to do it like anyone else, extract files, modify, place in Data. Works, yes/no. If I had to give you a definitive answer, I would have to test it first, exactly the same way, how else.

Because you had tried it yourself some time in the past and knew why it wouldn't work.
Look, it's not like I'm waiting for an answer but if the answer is known I won't have to find it myself.

There are one million possibilities and permutations with Heroes3, especially text files. Maybe I did it in the past, but no memory of exact action. First thing I ever did before starting to mod Atlantis, for example, was to extract all text files and see/test what everyone did.
That's the only way, especially in Era, where a wrong text file can be just deleted from mod/data without screwing the regular mechanics.

Mad respect for you and your work. I am really interested in learning how to mod with this.
Do you have any tutorial or documentation to recommend? I open the h3era.exe and it looks very similar to the original game. I can find some documentation links in the Tools folder, but they look out of date.
Thanks, Sir!
