I'll tried the version 0.3. It is does not work correctly - my HD version language is RUSSIAN but Heroes 3 Complete is ENGLISCH. I'll did the same process like usually but after that there was no random map in the folder only a unknown file "E".

This means it is using the old maped_rmg.dll, which produced file called "E". Are you sure you are using all new files and not just the .exe? The latest maped_rmg.dll is needed.

[MikeVendetta]

Yes preaty sure, all files are new from your download link, its version 0.3 and I'll also tried it with a new "h3demo_anymap.dll" - same result

Okay. If you are able to do so, please look in Windows registry editor at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\h3minternals, to see the value of maped_rmg_path there and see if it is correct. I will try to see if I can find any other reason for your problem.

bad idea to have registry keys.. why not app.config / .ini

An ini file is used to save the Heroes 3 complete folder (h3mtool.ini), because for that it makes sense (setting right path in GUI upon restarting program).

But the the registry key for maped_rmg_path is accessed from within HoMM exe, which does not know where h3mtool is located. In order for it to know that, a communication link between h3mtool and HoMM HD exe would have to be established, which is completely overkill when all it needs is this path.

I've got a question for you! So I was really impressed with the addition of the maps! However, do you think you'll be able to add the other expansion's campaigns?

Not any time soon, but if there is interest in the future then possibly.

How you are going to add specific heroes, arts, all those units, permanent border guards, conflux?

My stuff released on _release day_ is not by any means the final state of HD Edition modding. There is nothing that says that AB/SoD objects will always have to be replaced by RoE objects (which ofc would break campaigns). As said in the text you are quoting, it would not be done any time soon (since auto-conversion does not cut it, unlike for a lot of AB/SoD maps which contain 0/very few unique AB/SoD objects) but it is all ones and zeroes.

It is simply not the case that the community doesn't have a single decent programmer in it.
