Will check this out.

For now try to copy msk file to Sprites:
cp /usr/share/games/vcmi/Data/AVCVGR.msg /usr/share/games/vcmi/Sprites/AVCVGR.msg

Just wondering: how you got *.def's and *.msg's in Data?
Normally they are in .lod archives.

I used build_data.sh script from source directory. Now it says following:

$ pwd

$ ls Data | grep ZOBJ044
ZOBJ044.DEF

$ ls Sprites | grep ZOBJ044
ZOBJ044.DEF

move all *.def's and *.msk's from Data to Sprites directory.

I'll check the script.

I moved, but it still does not work (I have no such file). By the way, file naming in Data and Sprites is an awful mixing of upper- and lowercase characters; if vcmi always tries to open uppercase named files only, maybe it'll be useful to add some renaming functionality to the script for unification purposes?

It's already in. Console messages may be confusing a bit but vcmi looks for files in case-insensitive way. (and somewhat ignoring extensions)

AVA0129 is an artifact added in Armaggedon's Blade. Script takes them from here:
"data1.cab and data1.hdr from the original 1st CDROM"

If this file is missing it means that you have H3:Restoration of Erathia.
VCMI won't work with RoE or Armaggedon's Blade. You need to have H3:Complete or H3:Shadow of Death.

I have Armageddon's Blade and extracted this file from H3ab_spr.lod. However, now vcmi looks for bmps:

    Hero handler: 10
    Artifact handler: 10

I suppose they're in H3ab_bmp.lod

It's probably first time somebody have edition with essential files in H3ab_*.lod's
For now you'll have to extract them into Data/ and Sprites/ but later it should be possible to add support for such editions.

I tried another variant of game data and it worked
