Installing Heroes III data files

To install VCMI you will need Heroes III: Shadow of Death or Complete edition.

To install Heroes 3 data using automated script you need any of:

  • Offline Installer downloaded from gog.com (both .exe and .bin files are required)
  • Directory with preinstalled game
  • One or two CD’s or CD images

Run the script using options appropriate to your input files:

vcmibuilder --cd1 /path/to/iso/or/cd --cd2 /path/to/second/cd vcmibuilder --gog /path/to/gog.com/installer.exe vcmibuilder --data /path/to/h3/data

You should use only one of these commands.

On flatpak install, it’s also possible to run the script, but any path seems to be interpreted from within the Flatpak sandbox:

flatpak run --command=vcmibuilder eu.vcmi.VCMI --data /path/to/h3/data`

Install data using gog.com offline installer

Download both files for the «offline backup game installers» and extract them using innoextract tool

innoextract --output-dir=~/Downloads/HoMM3 "setup_heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_4.0_(28740).exe"

(note that installer file name might be different)

Once innoextract completes, start VCMI Launcher and choose to copy existing files. Select the ~/Downloads/HoMM3 directory. Once copy is complete, you can delete both offline installer files as well as ~/Downloads/HoMM3.

Install using existing Heroes III data

Copy «Data», «Maps» and «Mp3» from Heroes III to:

Or, in case of flatpak install to

$HOME/.var/app/eu.vcmi.VCMI/data/vcmi/

On some distributions $XDG_DATA_HOME could differ so instead you may need to use:

Launching game

To start the game type in console:

Or, to start game directly avoiding Launcher:

VCMI should be also available via desktop environment menu or launcher (Games/Strategy/VCMI)

#install: cannot stat ‘/mnt/magazyn/archlinux/gog-heroes-of-might-and-magic-3-complete-edition/src/icons/HD_Launcher.exe*16x16x32.png’: No such file or directory

I don’t know, maybe something’s wrong on my side, but otherwise it packages (I know that shortcuts are created in ‘Programs Menu’ from log.

After updating to unionfs-fuse 3.2-1, I get the following error:

fuse: unknown option(s): `-o use_ino,nonempty' Failed to mount unionfs 

Removing these options from /usr/bin/gog-heroes-of-might-and-magic-3-complete-edition fixes the issue, but I’m not sure if this won’t affect anything.

In order to get the HD patch installed (http://h3hota.com/HD/HoMM3_HD_Latest_setup.exe, thanks @rashkov from the link), I had to change

msg "Installing HD patch" wine "$/$" /verysilent 
msg "Installing HD patch" wine "$/$" /Dir="$/$" /verysilent

@budRich icoutils is in the makedepends, is there a reason for it to be a full dependency? is wrestool used after installation?

edit: I see now, it was being overwritten on another line.

budRich commented on 2020-09-25 08:54 (UTC)

Missing dependency: wrestool, available in icoutils package.

Make sure that you’re using a recently built lgogdownloader-git. Regular lgogdownloader (the non-git package) is out of date and won’t work anymore.

The game starts, but I have no mouse nor keyboard, seems it is not «focused». Tried on i3 and lxde, I tried to press «Alt+Tab». Any idea? Thanks

Edit: It now works but. no idea why! Edit2: Maybe I just waited the cinematic ends.

Eiffel commented on 2019-12-29 22:23 (UTC)

I had an issue with wrestool missing. I had to install icoutils for the build to complete.

Afterwards, I also had to install lib32-mpg123 and lib32-libpulse to have everything working.

lib32-mpg123 was necessary to have the mouse working properly lib32-libpulse was necessary to get the sound working.

Now, the game seems to be freezing my comp after some time, time to see what happens

Heroes of Might and Magic III

The installer is for Heroes III: Complete, 2 CD Version (includes Heroes III: The Restoration of Erathia, Heroes III: Armageddon’s Blade, and Heroes III: Shadow of Death).
The 2 CDs are part of Heroes of Might and Magic: Platinum Edition

1. Rip both CDs (CDs 3 and 4 from Heroes of Might and Magic: Platinum Edition)
2. Mount both CDs
3. Proceed with installation. Do not install DirectX when asked.

On game first run, it will skip the intro and say it can not find the CD. That’s ok, just exit the game and start it again.

Note: The downloaded nocd patch (1KB) is applied using bspatch. The patch will modify the installed HEROES3.EXE to match the GoG nocd version (resulting HEROES3.EXE sha256: b067f3c24467e8cd77f875f3cae4ebc9610d7989514261cbac0785f5c08ca751).

The first time is not possible to skip the cgi introduction. This is the installer issue, but game design — native Windows installation presents same behavior.

Using the GOG windows version and HoMM3 HD Mod to support modern screen resolutions and many UI improvements.

Using the GOG windows version with Horn of the Abyss expansion. Comes pre-installed with HD mod.

To run the Complete Edition campaigns, in the launcher window: select «Heroes3.exe» and press «Create HD exe» button.

Murder, treachery, resurrection, savage battles and ultimately-freedom!
When Erathia’s King Gryphonheart is murdered by traitors he is resurrected as an undead warlord who leads a ruthless invasion of his former Kingdom. Little resistance is met until his daughter Catherine, Queen of Enroth, returns to her homeland commanding an army of elite Enrothian warriors. Meanwhile the Necromancers raise large hordes of undead and advance towards the Erathian capitol. Queen Catherine receives the aid of her father’s survived generals and embarks on a crusade to reclaim her lost land.
You control the greatest heroes and fiercest creatures in a conflict of epic proportions, as Cathereine fights to restore her family’s rightful reign, uncover her father’s killers and free him from the dark prison of his undead body!
