this is a list of stuff that is still not understood in its workings and needs
additional reverse engineering.
projects like wake of gods and wcmi probably already have full knowledge on
these matters, so help from them is warmly welcome

place your heroes of might and magic complete files in the same directory
as hr.py and extractor.py
* H3bitmap.lod
* H3ab_bmp.lod
* H3sprite.lod
* H3ab_spr.lod
* Heroes3.snd
* H3ab_ahd.snd
* VIDEO.VID
* H3ab_ahd.vid
open the commandline and navigate to this directory
python extractor.py
it will find itself the files above and extract them into a new data directory.
the process will take half an hour due to heavy image manipulations which are
very slow in python. The output will be around half a gigabyte.
then place some scenario file in the maps folder and start heroes renaissance
with a command like:
python hr.py "A Viking We Shall Go"
