Errors in maps included with ERA 3 (Cave of Gerfex, New Pirates)
Hey, so I wanted to check out those heavily scripted maps as those are the most fun. But sadly, it appears that they just won't work in my game 
When I launch either of these maps, I get first error popup. And then there's plenty, plenty errors as the map goes along.
These maps don't even ask to be WoGified so that's not it. On top of it, I've tried running them after disabling all the WoG options in settings (just to try) and then also disabling all the mods (aside of WoG Core). Neither of these things helped at all.
I don't know why these maps are broken - and if it means others would be too.
Thanks for tips.

They are using old ERM scripts, that's why. ERA 3 redone ERM syntax, which means, even tho they will launch, map scripts will not function properly.

don't suppose there's any erm key/translator to easily remedy this?

Cave of Gerfex has an old 3,58f script. Ask mapmaker to update Cave of Gerfex.

They should work with Era 3. But not with the ERA HD gaming build which basically overwrite any other scripts.

Oh, that's a shame. I can't play without HD mod anymore
But at least I know what's up, so thank you.

HD works 100% with Era 3.

Huh, I think I'm confused then  Between the Gaming HD Build and just HD mod and Era 3? What is the gaming build?
I downloaded Heroes 3 Launcher and installed things through that.

I am sure HD launcher is a great tool for various games, but for example it screws all my maps. This is what I say, if you want scripted maps, you need ERA3 (from its thread), HD mod and the map itself. The launcher comes with additional mods which will overwrite most of custom scripts.

I have made a new instance of HoMM3 where I installed only ERA 3 and HD mod and I'm still getting the exact same errors
I got the ERA version from the Download link posted i nthe first post here: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=46391
This is an example of an ERM error I get in Cave of Gerfex (right after passing the maze there's quite a spam of them):
I got the burial error again when launching the map, and then was asked if I want to turn off global scripts. I did turn off the global scripts so they don't conflict with the map, but it didn't help

I think that Era 3 (or even wog 3.58) cannot handle the particular syntax the campaign was made on, from what I remember,it was the very early WoG, 3.51. The only way to do that is fixing all scripts by hand. Not very hard to do, but it asks some time and motivation.

The map I actually wanted to play was the Dragon in My Heart, but though it seemed alright at start, it also fell apart at the seams later on
I did replay one of my faves Art War (Heroes Charge) and though it's very script-heavy, it worked wonderfully on the newest gaming build with launcher and all that. And it's also old. Guess someone might've fixed it?

Well, the errors your screen shows are not affecting the game, its about messages. But you have to know some scripting basics to know when errors screw the game and when they are just displaying error but without screwing it.

I see, well I can say with certainty I got both types  Some let me pass, and some got so angry I had to hard close the game, lol. Oh well. I'm still thankful to everyone working on ERA and maps for it! Much love <3
Complete side note, idk what they've done with either HD mod, ERA, or w/e but the smooth hero riding animation is... smooth, lol. 60 fps HoMM3 horse riding!
