Posts from UnlockAllHeroes - All heroes are available on multiplayer maps.

Dear users, does anyone have a mod that unlocks as many heroes from the campaign as possible? I found one, but it doesn't unlock new heroes; it replaces old ones with new ones, but the old ones are also needed! I also found another mod that does something similar, but new heroes are only unlocked on the default maps. That's not what I'm looking for.
I saw a mod that, in theory, unlocks all heroes on all maps, but the link was dead. That's the kind of mod I'm looking for!
Does anyone have one? Maybe someone wouldn't mind making one?

Added by moderator: Link to download the mod

Have you tried this link? http://heroes.ag.ru/heroes5/mods/zip/Maps_ToE_UnlockAllHeroes.zip I probably won't be able to help with the creation, as I have a vague idea about this part of the game mechanics. My only comment: why is this needed? Some campaign heroes will simply be unmatched on certain maps (Raelag is almost everywhere; Markel on those with neutral undead; Zephyr is also quite strong; Frida with Divine Vengeance is also quite powerful). So, this could significantly spoil the balance.

By the way, I have an idea. After figuring out this mod, you could try to integrate it into all other maps that you will play, including randomly generated ones.

Thank you very much, I was actually looking for this mod, but all the links to it have expired, no matter where I click. As for the balance, I can say that I mainly play for fun and entertainment, and I don't pay much attention to it. For example, if I set up a game against two enemies, it would be fair to choose a stronger hero. This mod is perfect for such artificially created situations. P.S. I didn't quite understand the part about the maps... It seems that it already works on all maps, and I don't even use the map generator.

Only the built-in ones work; if you download something new, that’s it, you’re done.

Could you provide some instructions on how to integrate this mod as you described?

Instructions... I think the easiest way is to open a multiplayer map through the editor and unlock the hero there; I believe it was possible to do that. Alternatively, you can examine how the mod works using WinRAR and replicate the process.

I'll try to do it as you suggested tomorrow, and if any questions arise, I'll let you know.

So, I tried adding all the heroes to all the maps today. First, I opened a random map in the editor. I saw the editor for the first time in my life, and naturally, I didn't understand how to do what I needed. Then, I opened the mod with WinRAR. There's a folder called Maps. I was happy, thinking it would contain something like a list of default maps, and all I needed to do was add new maps to that list. But it all consists of a set of folders with a letter and a number in the name, for example, L1, which contain files with the same names. I was a little confused by this method. Maybe you could give me some advice on how to do this best and where to click.

It’s simple: open the map in the editor, click “Map Properties” at the top of the screen, go to the “Heroes” tab, and check “Check All.” You might want to uncheck the “Plate” and “True Tank” heroes. That’s it.

Hello!
First of all, happy holidays to you.
I wanted to let you know that I figured out your method, it's very simple. Thank you for the hint.
HOWEVER, I want to say that you might be mistaken - the mod you recommended works on its own with downloaded maps without any additional intervention. Yesterday, I loaded three randomly selected maps that I downloaded from this site, and all the heroes from the mod were available there. Moreover, I checked in the editor whether the checkboxes are set next to the heroes, as you said, and on some maps where the checkboxes were not set, all the heroes were still available.
If any questions arise, I will write again.

Thank you, you too. But that's very good. It turns out that the author somehow anticipated this situation. The more high-quality mods there are, the better.

This mod removes the lock on multiplayer maps that are included in the standard map set (and the player's participation is not really required here – the mod does everything itself), but it will work incorrectly on some fan-made maps, and in that case, you will need to remove the lock manually using the editor.

I downloaded the mod, and I've been trying out different maps, both standard and generated. There were no heroes from the campaigns, so I wasn't sure what to do. Where should I put the mod, or what should I do with it to make it work? I've put it in the bin folder and in all the other folders, just in case, but it's not working. I'm really interested in being able to play with legendary heroes on generated maps, but the mod just doesn't work at all. Please help! :smile17:

And yes, by the way, I tried putting the patch in the UserMODs folder, but that didn't work either. In the game, in the modifications section, everything is empty, and nothing is visible, although the resolution should be compatible. The game is a licensed version, with the disc as it should be. ;(

Hooray!!!! I figured it out! The mod creator, you're a genius! It works great on generated maps! I'll tell you just in case where you need to put the file after unzipping it. I put it here: \data\RMGTemp and here: data\RMGTemp\CurrentMap ;) and it worked!!! I'm so happy!!! :D By the way, maybe you could take a look at the thread about level 40 in this same section... ;( I really can't max out all 8 skills; it would be great if the level limit could be removed and experience gained faster. :)

Hello everyone, I have a slightly unusual question. Is it possible to unlock these heroes in the map editor, and not just in the game? So that I can place a specific hero on my map, instead of having to recruit him in the tavern during the game, as in this mod.

Yes. Select any hero, click on it, go to ObjectPropretiesTree (the column on the left in the map editor), Shared, "...", and find the desired one in the list.

In the map editor, they can be unlocked for recruitment and placed on the map, even without a mod.
