|
|
All rights for the original game and its resources belong to former The 3DO Company.
|
|
These rights were transferred to Ubisoft. We do not encourage and do not support
|
|
any form of illegal usage of the original game. We strongly advise to purchase
|
|
the original game on GOG or Ubisoft Store platforms.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can download a free demo version of the game (in English only)
|
|
using one of the bundled scripts.
|
|
|
|
--- Installation and Requirements ---
|
|
You will need to have a demo version or the full version of Heroes of Might and
|
|
Magic II game to be able to play.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have the original Heroes of Might and Magic II game, run the
|
|
'download_demo_version.bat' file for Windows or 'download_demo_version.sh' for Linux
|
|
OS and macOS. This script will download and install all the necessary files from the
|
|
demo version of the original Heroes of Might and Magic II game.
|
|
|
|
If you have a legally purchased copy of the original game, run the
|
|
'extract_homm2_resources.bat' file for Windows or 'extract_homm2_resources.sh' for Linux
|
|
OS and macOS. This script will extract all the necessary resource files.
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to the previous step, you can manually copy the subdirectories 'ANIM',
|
|
'DATA', 'MAPS' and 'MUSIC' (some of them may be missing depending on the version of the
|
|
original game) from the original game directory to the fheroes2 installation directory.
|
|
|
|
If you are running fheroes2 on Windows and see complaints about missing DLLs, then you
|
|
may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package. You can download
|
|
it using the following URLs:
|
|
|
|
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe - for 32-bit x86 fheroes2 builds;
|
|
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe - for 64-bit x64 fheroes2 builds.
|
|
|
|
Or you can install the game using the installer, in this case, this package will be
|
|
installed automatically.
