Strange. Although I'm not sure if that's VCMI issue - sounds more like a bug in unshield or some uncommon version of H3 that unshield can't handle.

Try running
unshield -D 3 -d /tmp/ x <path to CD>/_setup/data1.cab >unshield.log 2>&1

And upload generated file unshield.log here.

It tells me Aborted.

Please tell me if it is unshield's bug - so that i might file bugreport against the package in Debian.

Thank you for working on the awesome game!

Unfortunately nothing in the log indicates what causes this crash.

Perhaps somebody more familiar with unshield (like Debian maintainer or unshield developer) will be able to find out what's wrong.
I'd say that this is either unshield bug or something specific to your system (e.g. corrupted archive)

Workaround would be to use Wine/Windows to install H3 and then pass path to installed data to vcmibuilder.

Alright, i have files bugreport against unshield. We'll see what they will say.

I have none but linux machines, so hope is only for Debian maintainers OR may I will find already preinstalled HMM3 on Internet.

I will post if any additional info on the topic.

Thanks for your work and quick replies! Have a good time!

Moving to feedback until there will be news from Debian/unshield teams.
