Hi,
i was just playing around with Heroes HD Mod.
Since iam only using ERA 2.46, i have a question.
It seems ERA and HD Mod do work together. But if i choose Era_HD.exe the HD+ options are not available, so not all features from HD-Mod work in ERA, or am i missing something?. Is there a way to get the "replay combat" option working in ERA? (its the option to play a battle again if you are not satisfied with the quick combat result). There seems to be a lot of fixes implemented in HD Mod, so is it generally advised to use this mod?

After a dozens of years used to vanilla visuals I could not make it to HD mod, so I never used it except for testing. I am not aware of any fixes, it has some interesting features which were ported to era too (recruit any hero, exchange armies/artifacts) but at core is made to fit SoD and Hota multiplayer, the fixes for era came only very late and not fully functional.

Okay thanks for explaining. I probably wont use it than. But still, the "replay battle" option is very nice. Maybe it will be available for ERA someday.

You can use it if you like the graphics. I doubt the battle preview can work for era: I don't know how Baratorch calculates it but due to possible erm scripts, not all battles can be accurately predicted.

I have a question about ERA pluggins.
It is true, that Shadow of Death expansion had no starting video (shameful in my opinion but true). However, in Heroes III Complete edition, the game started with the original Restoration of Erathia video, which in my opinion is one of the coolest game intros in existence.
There is restore interface.bin that brings back the original Heroes menu. Does this work with SoD and that's why it skips the intro video when starting the game? Is there a bin file that makes it work as Heroes Complete interface (and thus start the game with the intro)? And if there isn't one, can it be easily made?

The battle does not have to be calculated or predicted. Even though I have not looked at baratorch's implementation I am 100% sure that he does not use calculation or prediction for resolving the battles because there is simply no reason to and it would unnecessarily increase complexity a thousandfold.
The default Quick Combat option that is already available can be used to resolve the battle, and then the replay option simply resets the state to before the battle was taken so that it can be replayed. This is how I have implemented the feature in HDE Mod for HD Edition (code) and I would be greatly surprised if baratorch did not use this concept.
As long as Quick Combat works in ERA then combat replay is trivial to implement.

This is the problem, very often erm driven battles crash if quick combat selected.

I've now got problem with ERA which I didn't had a before. Almost every time I click on OK button in dialog game crashes with following header:
Quote:
<DLG9.cpp; InvokeDialogue09; line 1715> Exception: "EAccessViolation", ExceptAddr: 05B86EF0, ErrorAddr: 00000000,
ParentWindow: 000605F2,
ResDir: ".DataZVSLIB1.RES",
Las time I've played in July I didn't have such issues. Even when I load save form July game crashes when I try to start a batttle.
I thought that for some reason game is broken however, when I copied game folder to virtual machine (7 SP1 x64 and 8.1 x64) game run without crahses. Since July, I've only changed graphics card but I doubt it is real reason of crash.
Have anyone experienced this before?
Problem is patcher_x86.dll version 3.0. When I restore version 1.7 game doesn't crash in WoG GUI elements. However, without version 3.0 I cannot run latest H3 HD launcher. ERA with patcher veer 3.0 doesn't crash when I run it in virtual machine. Am I the only one with this problem or I have missed some update for ERA 2.46?

Ran the installer, is there a way to revert the graphics? The new creatures (the few there are) looks misplaced and the portraits are terrible. They're not really terrible, it's just that I've been playing this game so much they're like family. Christians steady gaze was replaced by a squinting king.

Era doesn't affect your Heroes 3 game. Use Heroes3.exe for original graphics.

I want to play Era, but with the old portraits.
Otherwise I really like it. It has a tendency to crash after battles, very infrequently though.

What portraits you talk about? If there are new creatures, there can't be old portraits.

The hero portraits. They're all new.
That's the biggest annoyance. That the pikemen doesn't look like they used it is of less importance.

I must have had one in the WoG folder where I installed Era (or something), because I just installed it to a fresh Heroes 3 Complete folder and now they are their old selfs. I'm not aware I've ever used a portrait mod. Super weird.
Thank you anyway for putting up with my slow thinking.

Heroes 3 era 2/wog syntax error
Hi everyone. I'm having an issue. Its not game breaking but really annoying. Every time a game starts and a player (AI or me) ends a turn an error comes up saying:
ERM syntax Error
File: erm
line: 5212
reason:
"VNCopy"-internal error (source=0). Possible reason is wrong macro syntax.
Then it asks if I want to save it to WOGERMLOG.txt
So is there any way I can get rid of it, it is really annoying when you are trying to play a larger map.
the mods I am currently using are:
Wog plus(9.0) , Wog revised, spells uncovered, Morn battlefields, and the basics you get with era 2

b) if a didn't work and still errors, disable wog plus

Hi, again, I asked a question about the restore interface pluggin in ERA but there was no answer. Is ERA II project abandoned or is it that nobody bothered to answer?
In any case I will address my problem once again here and see how it fares. The thing is that I encountered another bug with this pluggin and I would like to know if it can be fixed or not.
1) This pluggin restores the original SoD interface and I would like to know if it can be edited to restore the original Heroes 3 Complete interface. The reason I asked is that I would like to have the RoE intro playing when I start Heroes. If it's not possible then fine, I just would like to know.
2) This pluggin restores the original SoD campaigns as well, which is pretty much why I want it to work so much. However, I noticed that it doesn't fully restore the campaign videos and keeps the (in my opinion really bad) WoG videos.
To be honest not all of them. I played the New Beginning campaign (to see how it is compatible with my mod) and the first 4 videos where the original ones but the final wasn't. Since WoG used the videos from the Elixir of Life campaign as well, I suspect the ending video wasn't restored either.
Can someone please answer me If these issues can be remedied or not?
