Heroes of Might & Magic 2

homm2_linux.md

GOG installer leaves a desktop icon, and the game runs fine once clicked on but the resolution makes the window tiny and the mouse is permanently locked in focus.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/HoMM 2 Gold
dosbox .
imgmount d homm2.inst -t iso -fs iso
heroes2.exe

But it crashes on first sleep.

fheroes2

Try fheroes2 https://github.com/ciplogic/fheroes2enh

Edit CMakeLists.txt to require 3.5 instead of 3.8

Can build in other directory, but need to run executable from the base of source dir.

cd ~/other/games/fheroes2enh
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/"GOG Games/HoMM 2 Gold/DATA" data
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/"GOG Games/HoMM 2 Gold/MAPS" maps

../build_fheroes2enh/fheroes2
20:13:35: [ERROR]	open:  Couldn't open fheroes2.bin
08:13:35 PM: [ERROR]	SetLangEnvPath:  translation not found: en.mo

The pointer moves around super slow, unplayable.

Set resolution larger with vgfds cj

fullresolution=1280x960
windowresolution=1280x960

Or scaler to normal3x?

Syndicate steals the mouse when the scaler is upped, can't get it back.
