Additional Info

Here is a fresh build of VCMI, the opensource engine to play Heroes of Might & Magic III

You will need the game data to play this PND. On first launch (and as long as data are not present), you can launch a crappy wizard dialog (made of Zenity) to extract the data. Data can be extracted automaticaly from the Windows GoG install, a copy of the 2 CD content (iso image have to be extracted), or the folder of an already installed windows copy. The wizard use vcmibuilder to do all the work (so you'll have a terminal windows open to follow what's going on).

The version use SDL2 (and gl4es), and screen is automaticaly downscaled to 800x480 thanks to SDL2.

The PND first launch vcmilauncher, a Qt app that let you download mod and launch the actual VCMI. The launcher as been resized so it more or less fit the Pandora screen. You will need network on 1st launch, as some require vcmi package needs to be downloaded.
