This project is a mod for fheroes2. fheroes2 is a turn by turn strategy game, maintly develop by Andrey Afletdinov, as a clone of HOMM2 (Heroes of Might and Magic II) and release under free license. But the graphics used by this game are those of HOMM2 and are not free for use. The aim of this project is to provide open artwork for fheroes2.
fheroes2 with the original artwork :
fheroes2 with some artwork replaced :
First, allow the use of alternative data in configuration file fheroes2.cfg
.
This file must contents the line :
alt resource = on
Then copy the files
directory in the same place as the fheroes2 executable.
The next time you will launch the game, the alternate resources will be used instead of the original one when there are available.
Most of the original resources are still used because there are few libre artwork.
I have collect some resources from the free game Attal : lords of doom
which is now unmaintained.
The web site of this game is not still alive. But the artwork remain under GPL license.
Some resources were taken from Wesnoth, or from OpenGameArt.
