Heroes IV H4R Modular Packer v1.0 (with Font Editor plugin)
Hello Heroes Community,
I am pleased to share a resource management tool developed in Lazarus (Free Pascal) designed for full cross-platform compatibility.
Heroes IV H4R Modular Packer v1.0 is a brand new, modular resource manager that works flawlessly on both Windows (from XP to 11) and Linux (tested on Mint).
Key features:
• Main Packer (GUI): Automatically splits and restores raw audio into clean .wav/.mp3 files and converts bitmap_raw into standard .bmp images automatically upon extraction. It supports base game and expansion formats.
• Font Editor Plugin ("H4fnteditor"): A complete viewer and editor for font files. It can generate entire custom font sets directly from any system TrueType (TTF) font with full support for multiple encodings (Baltic CP1257, Cyrillic, Central European, etc.). It includes a pixel-level glyph editor with an Undo function.
• Modular UI System: All strings are centralized in a single localization.ini file for easy translation. The main app dynamically scans the plugins/ directory and creates custom menu branches.
The application binaries are compressed with UPX for a smaller footprint (except for the Linux .so library to prevent stability issues).
I am releasing this as a freeware tool for the community to test and play with. Any feedback, especially regarding the Linux execution and game compatibility, is highly appreciated!
