| |
− | | |
− | * [https://altstore.io/ AltStore] or [https://sideloadly.io/ Sideloadly] - can be installed on Windows or macOS, don't require dealing with signing on your own
| |
− | * Get signer tool [https://dantheman827.github.io/ios-app-signer/ here] and a guide [https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=245978 here] (it's for Kodi, but the logic is the same). Signing with this app can only be done on macOS.
| |
− | * [https://github.com/kambala-decapitator/xcode-auto-signing-assets Create signing assets on macOS from terminal]. In the command replace <code>your.bundle.id</code> with something like <code>com.MY-NAME.vcmi</code>. After that use the above signer tool.

− | == Installing Heroes III data files ==
| |
− | To play the game, you need to upload HoMM3 data files - '''Data''', '''Maps''' and '''Mp3''' directories - to the device. Use Finder (or iTunes, if you're on Windows or your macOS is 10.14 or earlier) for that. You can also add various [https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list mods] by uploading '''Mods''' directory. Follow [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210598 official Apple guide] and place files into VCMI app. Unfortunately, Finder doesn't display copy progress, give it about 10 minutes to finish.

| |
− | # Select VCMI
| |
− | # In the bottom find "three dots" or "cogwheel" button (it should be next to + - buttons) - click it - select Download Container...
| |
− | # Place the game directories inside the downloaded container - AppData - Documents
| |
− | # Click the "three dots" / "cogwheel" button in Xcode again - Replace Container... - select the downloaded container
| |
− | # Wait until Xcode finishes copying, progress is visible (although it might be "indefinite")
