Where to get Ubisoft's H3 HD

Well, everyone correct me if I'm wrong, but Heroes 3 HD from ubisoft is hated because it (still?) doesnt have expansions.

However, so called "HD+" mod doesn't have remastered larger sprites, isn't that right?

So, my interest is in the sprites, because I want to adapt them to H4 (original H3 sprites are too small for this game)

However, all I can find when searching H3 HD is the HD+ mod with the original sprites, not the HD mod from Ubisoft with the larger sprites.

Could anyone help me with this confusion and indicate me where to get the game or If I'm missing something?

Only place I know of is on steam here. It's probably on the Ubisoft store as well, but search didn't find it in the store, just on their website.

You qre right sadly, it only appears on their website but no link to their store.

Which is pretty... WTF?

Plus Steam charges a lot of overcharge for sales, oh well, it is what it is.

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/heroes-of-might-and-magic-3-hd

This game is very expensive on my local currency (I can get Age of Empires III definitive edition for less than half of that price!), so I don't think I will be buying it if this is the only choice...

Ah, never mind.

Well, got the thing. Now I need to know how to extract the graphics. Little detail :V

Map editor still uses the old graphics.

oxfea had extracted all the graphics already as png files. i'll see if i can find a link. i've been working on making the objects myself, as it requires some work to put them in the game; they're not just drag-and-drop.


edit: here is the thread with the links. looks like they still work, but i'm not sure. let me know. you'll see the issues you'll have working with them as soon as you open the files.

and it looks like avatar even included a tool to make the cutting easier. forgot about that. so you should be good to go.

HD edition yadisks seem to work, will try to download those for now

For reference, cutting image software should be here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rga5lrijjybji6b/quickbms.zip?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5k35rfa4uzw0ra4/CuttingImages.zip?dl=0, thoiugh the page loads endlessly for me, maybe others have better luck

Instructions here

But these sprites have wrong perspective?! And only side look. Only map look is correct?! In fact you must have full models to choice correctly look.
But of course it can be side look.
My idea is rebuild all H4 creatures to H3 look. Its better.

My point is converting interface elements and map objects.

As you say, it isn't feasible to make H3 creatures to look good on H4 combat because they lack facings, though the reverse (making H4 creatures into H3 ones) isn't that far off.

But H3 map objects can look good on H4 if you can make a lot of them, you can even make the whole map that way.
