With the History Edition you can actually only use the multiplayer via Uplay . However, a small conversion makes it possible to use the alternative server. There is a normal lobby and it is possible to play together with the players of the Standard Edition. Plus there are a lot of features that you used to only dream of. But for that the History Edition must be modified first.

To change the History Edition, three steps must be performed:

1. The standard edition settlershok.exe is required
2. The old main menu has to come back
3. The scripts must be reset

First, the installation directory must be located. Use the Explorer and navigate to the folder in which you have the Settlers 5 History Edition installed. This should look like this:

Open the folder named bin and then download this file:
http://workupload.com/file/VwbhS5Z

After downloading, copy the two files contained in the .zip file, settlershok_w10cu and shokmapeditor_w10cu , into the bin folder.

Next, the old settlersHoK has to be renamed. Right click the file for that, click rename and enter SettlersHoK_HE .
After that, settlershok_w10cu must be renamed to settlershok .

In the new main menu, there is no longer the button with which you can connect to ubi.com. To recapture the button we have to change the main menu. The directory is organized as follows: base contains the files for the basic game, extra1 the addon and extra2 the second addon. We navigate in the settler installation directory to the folder base / shr / menu / Projects and rename the file MainMenu to MainMenu_HE .

Now the following file has to be downloaded:
hemodification.zip
There are also three folders in it: base , extra1 and extra2 .
open the base folder and copy the file mainmenu to the directory where the file previously was renamed.

This returns the main menu for the main game. Now the same procedure has to be repeated for Nebelreich and Legenden. Copy from the .zip file from extra1 the file mainmenu to extra1 / shr / menu / Projects and from extra2 to extra2 / shr / menu / Projects . Do not forget to rename the original MainMenu file first.

Almost done, now the scripts need to be downgraded. In the installation directory there is a folder named Script in each of the folders base / shr , extra1 / shr and extra2 / shr . Rename this in Script_HE .

Then the Script folder from the already downloaded file hemodification.zip has to be copied. This procedure must be repeated for the folders base , extra1 and extra2 . Attention In each case the script folder from base to base and the script folder from extra1 to extra1 etc.

Jetzt kannst du theoretisch schon auf dem ubi.com Nachbau spielen. Allerdings funktioniert die Versionserkennung bei der modifizierten HE nicht richtig und das Starten der Erweiterungen ist auch mühsam, da man nicht mehr über den Uplay Launcher startet und deswegen als Commandozeilen argument „-exra1“ oder „-extra2“ übergeben müsste. Deshalb geht es noch ein bisschen weiter.

Um die beiden Erweiterungen bequem starten zu können, reicht es aus, den bin Ordner aus dem Installationsverzeichnis direkt in extra1 und extra2 zu kopieren.

Startest du settlershok aus den neuen bin Ordnern, sollte direkt Nebelreich oder Legenden gestartet werden.

Jetzt sind auch alle Vorbereitungen getroffen um den alternativen Server zu installieren. Wie das geht, findest du auf der entsprechenden Seite ⇒ Der alternative Server
