| − | VCMI allows overriding HoMM3 .def files with .json replacement. Compared to .def this format allows:
| + | {{Template:MovedToWebpage|https://vcmi.eu/modders/Animation_Format/}} |
| − | * Overriding individual frames from json file (e.g. icons)
| |
| − | * Modern graphics formats (targa, png - all formats supported by VCMI image loader)
| |
| − | * Does not requires any special tools - all you need is text editor and images.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that right now this replacement is not supported fully: there are still some areas that can't use it. Most notable areas are:
| |
| − | * Adventure map
| |
| − | * Battles
