You need Heroes III data to run VCMI.

For Windows this means that you need to extract VCMI package in Heroes III install directory

For Linux - see this page: http://wiki.vcmi.eu/index.php?title=Installation_on_Linux [^]

Also - log says that you're running VCMI 0.91. This is outdated version - you may want to install 0.93 instead.

I installed from Heroes III data using vcmibuilder, but it led to the result that I described above.

And with a version I really was wrong - right is 0.91

Maybe I am wrong or off-topic, but I got a similar message after building VCMI from sources when I forgot to copy the package with latest VCMI release to the trunk folder.

Fixed it by copying the missing files.

IIRC vcmibuilder for 0.91 won't copy resulting data into "data directory".

In 0.91 you had to do this:
run "vcmiclient -v" to get data directory path

copy script output to where vcmi expects it to be found.
cp -RTu vcmi /path/to/vcmi/data/directory


Or update to 0.93 - much better idea :)

OK. I'm updated the game and the problem is solved

Thanks!
