Hi,

Maybe somebody can help me.
I got original Heros of Might and Magic III - Restoration of Erathia translated campaign. I try use MMTools, but all time force closing applications. Somebody can give me some advice? Or useful tool.

Thanks!

Which app you must force closing? MM tools or H3 HD?

The HD Edition force closing.
The process what I follow.
1. Open mm tools h3bitmap.lod
2. Extract .h3c
3. Open with original campaign editor from complete Edition
4. Extract maps and text.
5. Convert maps with app for using hd edition
6. Import back the updated maps and text.
7. Saving.
8. Use mm tools again..
9. Try start campaign and force closing .

I guess, problem can be in... Campaign Editor.
RoE didn't have custom campaign editor, it came with AB expansion. So I think when you attach RoE maps into campaing editor and click Save, you save campaign as AB/SoD campaign, which RoE/HDE can't recognize correctly.
And - I guess again - this can ce fixed only with hexediting.
Better to ask about it in Heroes Community forum.

To be honest, original H3 translation somehow hooked with h3bitmap.lod
But the original team who made this retrieved for programming.
