Installing Game Data
====================

You need the original game data of Heroes of Might & Magic 2, or alternatively
download the free demo version of the game.

The port comes with 2 (bash) helper scripts to assist with this:

${PREFIX}/share/fheroes2/download_demo_version.sh
${PREFIX}/share/fheroes2/extract_homm2_resources.sh

Alternatively, you can manually copy the directories ANIM, DATA, MAPS, and MUSIC
to ~/.fheroes2/. (Note: The GOG version keeps 'ANIM' in the DosBox emulated
image.)

If you need to run the game from a different data location, you can use the
environment variable FHEROES2_DATA:

$ env FHEROES2_DATA=/path/to/game fheroes2

Key bindings can be adjusted in the file ~/.fheroes2/fheroes2.key.
It's automatically created on first run.
