Editing User:Csaros/Pumpkin Patch/FAQ

This is a collection of Frequently Asked Questions about the [[User:Csaros/Pumpkin Patch|Pumpkin Patch]]. 

1. "Are you part of the HotA Crew?" / "Is this an official HotA expansion?"
* A: No, Pumpkin patch is an '''unofficial modification''' for {{hota}}. 


2. "How do I install the mod?"
* A: Download the installer from [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XuZ5PwzePxSIgP6uMOXN96jt0F5QpEBU/view?usp=sharing this link] and double-click it, then just follow the installer's instructions. If you want to be able to quickly switch between {{hota}} and Pumpkin Patch, simply create a copy of your Heroes 3 folder first. 


3. "I don't like some changes"
* A: A lot of Pumpkin Patch changes are customizable through the launcher, known as HexSwapper. In said launcher, the Skins section allows you to choose any from the 100+ skins available, and the Gameplay section lets you freely select any of the 26 gameplay options prepared, including changes to spells, buildings, 1-hero rebalance, and so on. If there are some core changes of the mod you dislike, feel free to contact me on our [https://discord.com/invite/VVN5vreEaN Discord server]. 


4. "Can I play this online?" / "Does Pumpkin Patch work with the lobby?"
* A: Yes, you can play online, but you have to '''make sure you and your opponent are both playing the mod''', and that you have '''the same settings in the HexSwapper'''. To make it easier for you, the game will let you know that yours and your opponent's HexSwapper settings are different before the start of a multiplayer game, with a message "Your opponent has a modified template. They are likely cheating". 

* Playing with different versions of the mod or different HexSwapper settings can cause various errors throughout the game. 


5. "There's so many settings... Which should I turn on?"
* A: If you want to play Duel, follow the guidelines on [https://www.h3templates.com/templates/duel MKC's website]. Otherwise, I recommend either playing with the settings available immediately after installation (or after pressing "Reset"), or enabling all settings from the first page of the Gameplay Section. The setings from the 2nd page are either less balanced or mostly concerned with the Duel template.
