Step 1: Download and install VCMI
- Latest release (recommended): https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/releases/latest
- Daily builds (unstable): https://builds.vcmi.download/branch/develop/Windows/
- Please report about problems on GitHub: Bug Tracker
Step 2: Installing Heroes III data files
- Install Heroes III from disk or using GOG installer.
- Copy "Data", "Maps" and "Mp3" from Heroes III to:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\vcmi\
Create this folder if it doesnt exist yet
Step 3: (for release 1.0.0 and above) connect to the mod repository
- If that's your first installation, connection to the mod repository will be configured automatically, you'll see mods available to install from VCMI launcher
- We recommend you to install VCMI extras to support different screen resolutions and active various helpful UI tools
- If you don't see mods available to install, go to settings tab of the launcher and make sure that you have correct link in "repositories" text field:
Step 3: (for old builds 0.99 and earlier) download and copy and enable Essential Package
- Skip this step if you installed 1.0.0 or latest daily build
- For some technical reasons it wasn't included in game installation package for legacy versions and needs to be downloaded and activated seperately
- Download "VCMI essential files mods" from here https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list#Utilities
- After unpacking, copy folder Mods to your main VCMI directory
- When launching game, please enable "VCMI essential files" as well as its sub-elements: Andruids Bonus Icons, Bonus Icons, Spell Immunity bonus icons, Extra resolutions and Default templates.
