I just wondered.. Am I stupid if I don't know what ERM is, and what it has to do with Wake of Gods.
And! Isn't Wake of Gods a add-on/expansion pack for homm3? If it is, why isn't it on the Heroes Platinum collection..?
God, am I stupid, answer me, please!!

As far as i know, ERM is a scripting tool for WOG...
And WOG is an add-on, but it's not made by 3do/NWC, so i don't think it's sipported officially. Therefore, u wouldn't get it on any "official" Heroes cds... HTH

You're not stupid. You just don't have enough information. WoG is a very interesting thing, an unofficial expansion pack for HMM3. It has tons of really new features. If you want to know more, go to http://www.strategyplanet.com/homm/wog right now.
P.S. Oh God, how many times have I already posted that URL on the HC?

with wog 3.57 you really do not have to have a "special" wog map, it wogifys all maps, with scripts and such.
As Far as erm goes check here http://www.strategyplanet.com/homm/wog/ it is wog home page maybe it can be of more help to you.

1) ERM is a script language used for wog. It stands for Event Related Module I believe
2) ERM is complicated to learn but once you do there is almost nothing you can't change in the game.
3) I am looking forward to the next version of WoG to test cause it keeps getting better and better with each release.

For anyone who wonders what an ERM script looks like, Here's one for the Mitril Smelter and a few other interesting things:

THis is a script by a very good script writer who calls himself Deimios. Remember, when you write a script you have to have ZVSE to start it out. If no one has this script, just right click, select all, copy and paste it into ERM_SE, save it and give it a number like SCRIPT49.
I have'nt seen any scripts posted on this site...odd!

LOL ByteBandit, you didn't need to post an entire script in the thread!
One short example would be enough, like that:
ZVSE
; script for the Arena of Challenge
; turn off & hint
!#OB8/24/0:S;
!#VRz30:S^Arena of Challenge^;
!#HT4/-1:T30;
; already visited
!?OB8/24/0&300;
!!IF:M^You've already defeated the strongest monsters. Now go away.^;
; visiting
!?OB8/24/0&-300;
!!IF:V130/1;
!!HE-1&130:E?v130;
!!IF&v130>=1000/130:V140/1;
!!IF&v130<1000/130:M^You're so young, too young for hard battles, buddy! Go away.^;
!!IF&v130<1000/130:V140/0;
!!FU100&140v130;
!!UN&v141=1/140:N3/40/v140/0;
!!UN&v141>1/140:N3/40/v140/1;
!!IF&140:Q131/21/v140/2^On this Arena of Challenge you can fight %V141 %Z40. Do you want to challenge the creatures for a fight.^;
!!HE-1&131:T8/24/0/v140/v141;
!!HE-1&131?v150;
!!VRv142&131:Sv130;
!!VRv142&131::6;
!!OW&v150<>-1/131:R-1/6/dv142;
!!IF&v150<>-1/131:Q1/36/v142/1^Congratulations, you've defeated %V141 %Z40, and receive %V142 gold coins!^;
!!VRw1&v150<>-1/131:S1;
!!IF&v150<>-1/131:V300/1;
; function for calculating the type & amount of monsters
!?FU100;
!!VRv140:S1;
!!VRv140:T110;
!!VRy2:Sx1;
!!VRy2::6;
!!MAv140/?y3;
!!VRy2::y3;
!!VRv141:Sy2;
!!FU100&v141=0;
(Taken from my ERM tutorial map)
Ok, so that one may be not the best (needs some more balancing IMHO).
Btw about ERM tutorial... Do you think I should post it out here for those who want to learn it?

If you wanna do an ERM tutoiral Gan would be more than willing to put the stuff on his WAKE OF GODS site. He is wanting to do it but, the wog team is just too busy. You can conatct him if you Like.

Well, I am so use to The Forum where scripts are posted. I just have never seen one here. Also, I thought I would just put out an example for those who have never seen or looked at any of the scripts for WoG.

Hi Odvin....I think you may be right about that. But, they(players)may not know what one looks like. As you know, as we look at at, we can kind of figure out the mechanics of how a certain variable of the game will work...others may not.It tells what object, what variables to use, what function or functions can be used and what they are used for: I believe that if you play WoG, you should also know the mechanics and see just how far you can take this Add-On. To me, WoG is only in it's infancy.
