| − | = 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To make music work it must be converted into ogg format. This can be done either manually or using vcmibuilder:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | vcmibuilder --convertMP3
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | This command can be run separately after install or as additional switch during initial vcmibuilder launch
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Manual install ==

| − | | |
| − | * Install Heroes III
| |
| − | * Extract WoG addon http://download.vcmi.eu/WoG/wog.zip
