Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

Here's a question: how do you place fire, "skirts" of different castles, and effects on the map? In Nival's maps, they are located in "AdvMapObject," but I can't find that tab.

shared->MapObjects/Effects/
Then, the skirts are in Selections, and the lights and other effects are scattered across several folders.

It crashes. After setting up a hero, the editor simply stops working.

It's possible that not all parameters were entered. You can open the newly created hero file in the map archive, replace its contents with a working version (copy it from the game), make sure it stops crashing, and then gradually change things.
