Verok's OpenGL Wrappers for Heroes are gone

[{CH}ArticleBot]

Absolutely. And now you see here why. It's because of war in Ukraine, as Verok is ukranian.

You can read more about it, on his blog.

But, apart from this. There's nothing left from the original content, no game patches remained.

So where to get them? I don't know but you can get following mods/engines to play Heroes in FS

Heroes IV
https://equilibris.celestialheavens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=86051#p86051

• Equilibris 3.6
• Ultimate Heroes IV by Nimostar (which is using original Verok's patch)
  
  

Heroes III.
https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/

• HD Mod + Mods which are incorporating it, like HotA or ERA
  
  

Heroes II.

Web pages for the Heroes IV HD Mod and the GL wrappers are backed up thankfully.

However all of his downloads were not backed up sadly.

I have his Heroes IV HD mod installer still however I do not have any of his GL Wrappers.

Looks like people are sharing copies of the GL wrappers and HD mod over on GoG:

Well, I've found the GL wrapper files, installed them for Heroes 1, 2 and 3. Everything has just went fine, the only problem is that when I try to hurry up things and skip the NWC logo in Heroes 1, the game freezes and crashes. If I let the intro run, the game will be Ok. How do I fix this issue? Thanks!

Hey, I just signed up to post this here. I spent a few hours today looking for the download link, as all - but one - of the download links on the GOG forums are dead, and I'm genuinely worried that one will disappear, too.

I uploaded the OpenGL Wrappers to my personal Google Drive account, and I am going to guard this .zip file with my goddamn life. Just to prevent others from needing to dig as hard as I have, and for preservation's sake, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qomaln ... share_link
