Well that .bat file was a read.
It thinks I have the wrong HD mod version, but the number is the requested one and I followed the link you gave. Is PutinSux supposed to have a version number in it or something? (I don't really understand .bat files)

You're not supposed to read the installer, just run it 
Anyway, what it does is check the modified date of the HD_SOD.dll file against the modified date of PutinSux.txt, which is my way to verify that you're using the desired version of HD mod (5.3_R5). If you installed it and are getting an error in the installer, try uninstalling and reinstalling HD mod.
Also, I *just* posted a small update a few minutes ago.
• Swapped the appearance of Stronghold and Fortress heroes for Castle/Inferno and Rampart/Necropolis
• The grail bonus is now properly applied to your score if the building has been constructed
• Reduced the radius of Necropolis's Cover of Darkness from 20 tiles to 10
• Dark Alliance - removed the external Cover of Darkness from Necropolis's zone
• Zerg Rush - lowered difficulty to medium after further player feedback
• Zerg Rush - added a scroll of Town Portal to a central location of the map
• Zerg Rush - fixed some incorrect quest text in Castle's starting zone
• Fixed some bad formatting for the Earth Resistance spell
• Corrected the description text for Master Genies
• Corrected minor errors in the Readme and Printme

They are 1 minute apart
July 20 1:54 Am and 1:55 Am
Reinstalled a bunch of times
Edit: Resynced my computer clock (don't know if that helped.) reinstalled a couple more times and got it working. Excited to try this out!

Very strange. No clue why they shouldn't match up completely.
Glad it's working, though. Let me know how it works out!

is it possible to make it like WOG Cover of Darkness (map object) to create shroud in irregular shape?

Honestly, the ultimate plan is just to trash it altogether. It's a really annoying mechanic.

I'd initially created a "next town" button to go along with it, but after a lot of playing and feedback was basically told that nobody - including myself - used either one.
I did leave myself a bit of an out, though. If anyone actually did miss it, I could just replace the "fullscreen" button I made since I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who uses it.

I don't press the button, but I do use the 'h' key. And it now opens system options instead.

Ahhh, okay. Yeah, the incorrect mapping of keyboard shortcuts is a known issue and a side effect of changing the buttons. I can prioritize looking into fixing that for the next update.
(Everyone in my community tends to play with just a mouse, so that's the playstyle I've been designing toward)

I used to, but I have RSI now so I use a controller. Actually way more comfortable once I get everything configured. Does that mean the key exists somewhere still or is it gone until you fix it?
Like could it be 'r' or 'p' or something?
Edit: It's gone. Spellbook became k, but I pressed every key on my keyboard and didn't find select next hero

The function is still there but it doesn't look like any keybinds are pointing to it at the moment. Separating keypresses from button clicks is kind of tricky, but I can look into it and see if I can get at least something going there.
(Question: Do you use the "next town" shortcut?)

All right, so in that case if I run into trouble and can't find a better solution for the time being, I'll just push the "next town" code over to next hero instead, so T will be the button.

Thank you, although that is unfortunately not the case. I messed up one of my optimizations and left in an old jump, so this version will crash a lot. I've identified the problem and will post a fix shortly.
EDIT: fix is up

• Magic Elementals now correctly have 75% spell resistance instead of only 50%
• Paralyze odds are now properly 1/3 (corrected a rounding error)
• Optimized some more code (should again hopefully be invisible to the player)

• Added graphics for the fifth-level castle Mage Guild
• The Dragonlord Armor should no longer incorrectly block lv.1-4 spells
• Removed blank artifact entries from the map editor

Version 1.2i (November 07, 2022)
• Fixed a bug that would occasionally crash the game during the AI's turn
• Heroes with unit specialties now correctly get a Diplomacy bonus for the upgraded versions
• Artifact Trader and Mercenary Guild rates now improve with more of them instead of Marketplaces
