Heroes 4 equilibris v3.51

[johnnycage]

I have Heroes of might & magic 4 , the Gathering storm,the winds of war and equilibris v3.51 installed.I was looking at the change log on equilibris v3.51 and the Griffin Helm (Relic) - gives hero unlimited retaliations in battle,is a new artifact listed but when i go 2 the map editor the artifact is not listed. Is there a equilibris patch i need,if so which 1.


Thanks

when i go 2 the map editor the artifact is not listed.

You can add it manually to the editor via Tools --> Customize and then edit the object tab, search in the list for the "artifacts.Helms.Griffin helm".
Or just drag'n'drop it from any Equi map.

I still don't see the "artifacts.Helms.Griffin helm" on the list

Make sure you're using the Equilibris editor and not the Winds of war editor. I haven't used it much myself, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to find it in the Equi editor.

[johnnycage]

the Equi editor i cannot find

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

The editor should be in your Heroes 4 folder and called c_e_mod. It has the same icon as the WoW editor (campaign_editor).

When I open the Equilibris editor, I click on the "Addons" tab, then the "Equilibris - Artifacts" tab, and the griffin helm is there.

I don't recall if the Equilibris editor comes separately, since a friend sent me all the files I needed, so perhaps you either didn't download or install the editor?

The Equilibris download page is here.

@johnycage
From that page above you need to download and place "equi.aop" - this is file with equi layout for the editor.

[johnnycage]

I put the equi.aop file in the data folder of heroes 4 and nothing changed. I looked in my Heroes 4 folder and looked for the c_e_mod and it's not listed.I still can't find the equilibris editor. campaign_editor is the only 1 listed in the heroes 4 folder and the equilibris folder only contains the Launch Heroes IV Equilibris and Launch Heroes IV Equilibris TE and Uninstall Equilibris and Visit official website (English). What am i doing wrong

@johnycage
Did you replaced the original one, after backing it up?

You may also need to proceed with "camp_ed_sfx.exe" and "updates_sfx.exe" from the same page.

[johnnycage]

yes i replaced the original one with "camp_ed_sfx.exe" and "updates_sfx.exe" and "equi.aop" and now the c_e_mod does not work.I get h4 map editor encountered a problem and needs 2 close.I did not back up the original 1 because i don't know how 2 do that

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

What operating system are you using? Is it Windows 10? There have been problems reported with the Equilibris map editor on Windows 10 unfortunately.

[johnnycage]

I'm using Windows XP.I've UN-installed equilibris v3.51 and Heroes of might & magic 4 , the Gathering storm,the winds of war. Used Ccleaner 2 clean registry and the cleaner it's self.RE-installed H4 complete in the following order Heroes of might & magic 4 , the Gathering storm, and The winds of war.What should I install next?

Step&Step

0 - You need to have base game installed
1 - Copy to Game directory: heroes4_sfx.exe, updates_sfx.exe, camp_ed_sfx.exe - Double click on each of them, let them update game files
2 - install_Equilibris_v.3.51.exe - Doubleclick on it, install.
3 - Copy equi.aop to game data folder. Backup the previous file.
4 - Done, launch game (h4mod.exe) /editor (c_e_mod.exe) and enjoy!

During installation and files patching disable any antivirus or firewall programs.

Later in editor you can check by these changes:

Changes:
Added new artifacts:
Griffin Helm (Relic) - gives hero unlimited retaliations in battle.
Spirit of Oppression (Major) - negates all morale bonuses and penalties of every hero and creature, friend or foe alike while in battle. "Mirth","Fervor","Sorrow" and "Mass Sorrow" can not be cast when Spirit of Oppression is in battle.
Witch's ring - Gives this hero ability to drain 2 mana points from enemy spellcasters each turn.

See the screenshot:

This screenshot is from Windows10 and GoG HoMM IV.

In case of error - like "This file have bad checksum and cannot be modified." apply the individual patches and then reinstall the mod again.

You can proceed backup by renaming the orignal file.

I moved this topic to Equilibris subforum.

well it's sorta working.Found the griffin helm.The new problem is whenever i put the equi.aop file in the data folder the editor becomes corrupted.The c_e_mod looks nothing like the editor from the screen shot but it works now. the other 2 artifacts i did not see.

[Karmakeld]

I never had to look for the Equi artifacts manually. They were just there, under the Addon tab. Sounds odd you can see the helm but not the others. I also never had issues with XP..
So the editor gets corrupted, yet you can still open it..?

@johnnycage
Please use some image hosting service (fe postimage.org) and link screenshot here. You shouldn't miss any artifact and I would like to see how differently is your editor looking.

There must happen some error during installation, did you seen any message? Because either it's complete or not.

Do you use any Antivirus/Firewall solution? Which one?

[johnnycage]

I don't know how 2 make a screen shot,but the editor looks like the basic H4 editor except know when I go 2 tools,customize,object palettes,artifacts,and relics the griffin helm is now listed so i just dragged it over 2 the relics list.Wen I put the equi.aop file in the data folder the editor stops working completely.I just installed everything except that file.For some reason I can't get the Equilibris editor 2 work.

[johnnycage]

This is my 1st attempt at this



This is what the c_e_mod looks like

@johnnycage
So it looks ok but you're on wrong tab. Pick "Addons" >> "Equilibris Artifacts"

If you are on WindowsXP, use PrintScrn button on your keyboard, then launch mspaint32, hit Ctrl+V and save it as jpg image. And this one upload to image hosting service. It should be bigger to be seen.

And if you see here all three Equi artifacts, then you don't need to do that. Because everything is ok.
