When data/HEROES2.AGG is absent there, its\nfheroes2.sh offers to download the demo (h2demo.zip from archive.org) and\nunpacks its DATA and MAPS directories in place.\nref: version.txt:1,\n     EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/fheroes2/package.mk:4-7,15-23,\n     EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/fheroes2/scripts/fheroes2.sh:9-40\n\nEvery resource is looked up under each root directory in turn: the\nFHEROES2_DATA build path and environment variable, the program's directory,\nthen the OS data directories. The data subdirectory is scanned for .agg\nfiles, the one whose lowercased name ends in heroes2.agg is the game\nresource file, and a heroes2x.agg beside it turns on The Price of Loyalty\ncontent. No AGG, no resurrection.h2d, or an AGG without the font stops the\nstart with a missing resource window.\nref: src/fheroes2/system/settings.cpp:526-551, src/fheroes2/agg/agg.cpp:53-118,\n     src/fheroes2/h2d/h2d.cpp:35-62, src/fheroes2/game/fheroes2.cpp:220-240\n\nMaps are the .mp2, .mx2 (with the expansion) and .fh2m files of the maps\ndirectories, campaign videos come from anim, anim2, heroes2/anim or data,\nand CD music from music.
