homm2-screenshot

Builds a poster PNG from a Heroes of Might and Magic II save: the adventure map (with the fog of war of one player or without it), castles, hero cards and a row of info panels — minimap, resources, events, rumors, the obelisk puzzle and the win/loss conditions. fheroes2 saves are supported as well. Everything runs in the browser: the save and the game data are read from your disk. Source code on GitHub

1. Pick your game folder
3. Choose fog and scale

Where the game data is

Pick the folder that contains HEROES2.AGG (HEROES2X.AGG for The Price of Loyalty). The page scans the selected folder recursively, so saves in subfolders are found too.

  • HoMM2 (GOG, Windows): C:\GOG Games\HoMM2 Gold
  • HoMM2 (GOG Galaxy, Windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Heroes of Might and Magic 2 Gold
  • HoMM2 (CD, Windows): C:\HEROES2
  • HoMM2 (DOSBox): the folder mounted as C: (e.g. C:\DOSGAMES\HEROES2); saves are in the GAMES subfolder next to HEROES2.AGG
  • HoMM2 (GOG, macOS): /Applications/Heroes of Might and Magic II.app/Contents/Resources
  • HoMM2 (Wine/Proton, Linux): ~/.wine/drive_c/HEROES2
  • fheroes2 (Windows): %APPDATA%\fheroes2
  • fheroes2 (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/fheroes2
  • fheroes2 (Linux): ~/.local/share/fheroes2
  • fheroes2 (Flatpak): ~/.var/app/io.github.ihhub.Fheroes2/data/fheroes2

Printing

The PNG is written with 300 DPI metadata; the table gives the recommended paper size (the height depends on how many kingdoms and cards the save has). Printing fits the poster to the sheet, filling it on one side.
