igrik, я пропал на два года и скрипты 3.58 остались старыми и забагованными? Ни в коем случае нельзя на одном человеке замыкать абсолютно не связанные друг с другом задачи.
Valery, emotions are not our allies, my friend. Let me explain my position, because nothing crucial happened at all.
1) ERA ≠ Era installer package. Package is subject to changes. Everyone can make his/her own package. For instance, I installed huge 20 GB package of Skyrim with tons of mods preinstalled. They are not compatible with many other mods like your new mod, but I don't care, because absolute compatibility is not possible at all. I play mister X's package. Package is not the same as script engine of specific version, system libraries, etc. This is key point. One author can make changes in script engine, but other things are subject to change/recombine/customize.
2) If your mod depends on WoG 3.58f scripts, you either require WoG 3.58 or old Era package with 3.58 scripts frozen.
Thus, if ERA 2.46 satisfied all your needs and is well tested/has known bugs, it's ok. Specify it's as a requirement. Provide your own stable link to it. You can even modify package in WinRar and call it Heroes 3 Valery's Edition.
Create FAQ topic with the first answer: download and use this package (LINK) to play the mods. That's all.
There is no single holy link, which everyone uses. I will host 2.46 version without a problem and recommend you to do the same.
to some version, which allow to play any old/new/changed scripts/mods/packages.
And you know, igrik/Algor changed a lot in 3.58 scripts, thus my old Phoenix Mod may have issues with it. Changed scripts use new syntax/commands. I cannot just include their files with hundreds of edits and say: "They work the same as old 3.58 scripts". Even more, after some bugs were fixed (like possibility to reuse Emerald tower each month), we've got aggressive demands to restore old behavior! Some people used to play with bugs and consider them a feature! It's not a task for me to handle all of this. So let player install core and installs those scripts/mods like WoG Revised, that he wants.
Let modder write about his dependencies or specify link to package to be used.
I hope to port all your mods some day (carefully downloaded all of them) and provide possible semi-automatical translation, because they were written in English without json file usage and separate translation without code editing is hard.
