| − | = Installing Heroes III data files =
| |
| − | To install VCMI you will need:
| |
| − | * Heroes III: Shadow of Death or Complete edition
| |
| − | * Unnoficial WoG addon: http://download.vcmi.eu/WoG/wog.zip
| |
| − | * VCMI data files: http://download.vcmi.eu/core.zip
| |
| − | == Automated install ==
| |
| − | To install Heroes 3 data using automated script you need any of:
| |
| − | * One or two CD's or CD images
| |
| − | * gog.com installer
| |
| − | * Directory with installed game
| |
| − | | |
| − | Run the script using options appropriate to your input files:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --cd1 /path/to/iso/or/cd --cd2 /path/to/second/cd --download
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --gog /path/to/gog.com/installer --download
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --data /path/to/h3/data --download
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | You should use only one of these commands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Offline install ===
| |
| − | Normally vcmibuilder script will autodownload WoG and VCMI data packages. For offline install you need to download this packages manually and replace download switch with this:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmibuilder <h3 data commands> --wog /path/to/wog/archive --vcmi /path/to/vcmi/package
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Where '''h3 data commands''' stands for described earlier option(s) needed to install H3 data (path to data, Install CD or gog.com installer)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Fedora music support ===
| |
| − | To have Music support on Fedora it is required to perform a additional step. Fedora doesn't provide Mp3 playback support natively due to patents applied on the Mp3 technique. The SDL_mixer package from the official Fedora repo is compiled without Mp3 support. Luckily this isn't a huge problem due to the filesystem API of VCMI. If you place ogg files in the Mp3 folder it'll use those files. So all you have to do is to convert the original Mp3 to OGG by yourself. Then copy them to the /Mp3 folder and remove the old .mp3 files with e.g. rm -rf *.mp3. You may use those tools for converting MP3 to OGG e.g.: Dirogg Bash Script http://freecode.com/projects/dirogg or the graphical program SoundConverter(sudo yum install soundconverter).
