Need a contact of someone who knows VCMI
I feel like i complete idiot right now, because no matter what I do with the installation of VCMI, it keeps showing the same result: it only gives me the buggy WoG with messed up font and the launcher doesen't show the mod I have downloaded (that is a Factory Town mod). I have gotten a clean version of the game, but the result is the same. Could someone who knows the ins and outs of VCMI contact me via HC messenger? That would be a great help.

Don't download and update anything with the launcher. Anything. Launcher right now is only for enable/disable mods.
Previously downloaded mods are located in C://Users/[your_pc_name]/Documents/My Games/vcmi/mods.
Clean this directory/delete all mods from it.
Best place for downlad mods are here: https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list
After downloading and unpacking - copy mods to this folder or to folder Mods in your main VCMI directory.

The font is buggy because you probably play on Russian WoG. You can disable Russian language in launcher. Also, most WoG options and features are not implemented in VCMI.

So I re-extracked VCMI and got rid of the mods but I may have gotte rid of too much because the command promt of the launcher now shows this:
File CONFIG/MODSETTINGS is not a valid JSON file!
At line 1, position 0 error: File is empty
Failed to open file C:UsersUserDocumentsMy GamesvcmiconfigmodSettings.json
So yeah, how was that for a good salvation? Anyway, now it drops a barely managable Complete with a barely movable mouse cursor.

It's normal. You've deleted modSettings.json form My Documens/vcmi directory, so game will createn new one after first launching. With second lanych, you shouldn't not got such messages.

Delete open32.dll from your main folder.

Alright now. I got myself a Daily Build instead and transmitted the needed files to the branch develop instead. It does seem to work better, the mouse does work better and on fullscreen but I still have the main menu of Complete instead. On top of that I still can't see the factory mod on my VCMI launcher?
What could I have done wrong in this case?

Of course you will have Heroes Complete menu. To get other menu you must install one of some available skin. Ok, you can dowload hi-rez menu mod from launcher. This mod is safe and nor bugged. But it is optional.

Hm... Look at the Mods directory. Inside you should have Factory folder. Inside Factory folder you should have Content folder and mod.json file. Probably inside you Mods ditectory you have Factory/Factory/content directory structure - one Factory folder too much

Well the VCMI skin is on now but the game is still somewhat haed to control and it crashes a lot. By the way, what exatcly do I need to do with the Factory folder again?
