Bump to version 3171-1. I have updated a post installation message. Now it includes steps how to prepare data files by using a vcmibuilder script.

Bump to version 3029-1. I have removed the _installation_dir variable and very simplify the PKGBUILD. If you don't want copy data files to /usr/share/vcmi directory (for example because you have a limited space there) I think it is better to add -s option to copy data files command (which will make symbolic links instead of copying files) instead of modifying the PKGBUILD. But you have to remember that in the copy command a source path must be a full absolute path, not relative one. @Cravix: I also have this warning. I don't know how to resolve it. I don't think that the problem is related with disk fragmentation. After searching it seems that it is common issue. I think that the problem may be how vcmi handle video files, or the problem may be how ffmpeg handle bink video codec (which is using in Heroes video files). I don't bother this issue too much, it may decrease the speed of videos, but at least it works :)

@Raziel: oh you're right, copy back the original config folder then it works well... you're really nice, thank you very much! :D and still, i'm a little confused about the meaning of the warning "data is not align", does that mean i should run e4defrag or something like that?

@Cravix: It seems that is something wrong with your configuration files. The package contain the newest configuration files (from svn), and that is why copy data files command have -u switch. They should be intact during copy data files. Here is very similar problem to your: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=7765 You could copy those configuration files again from the source. I have prepared my data files not using directory where is installed separate version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, because it was modified by me, but I have used original Heroes installer with vcmibuilder script. I also haven't checked the latest svn revisions, they also may introduce new errors. Configuration files are changed very often (for example in the latest svn revision): http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/vcmi/changeset/3028

sad to say there's still something wrong with my vcmi :'( the output is here: ... [swscaler @ 0x9515c20] Warning: data is not aligned!
