Sorry, maybe it's not quite on topic, or maybe it's a bug, but it's related to the editor, so people, please help. I downloaded maps for Heroes 5.
I want to edit them in the editor (so that we can be allies).
When I close the editor, the map file size becomes 1 KB.
And, of course, it doesn't open. It doesn't matter whether
changes were made or not; the map still gets corrupted just by
opening it in the editor. Please explain what's going on; I really want to play with my husband as allies.

Guys, I made a mini-map, just wanted to see how it would turn out. I managed to get 2 towns and 2 heroes on it, but there's a glitch: for no reason at all, the graphics become blocky (heroes, resources, and textures become pixelated), and it might revert back to normal, or it might stay like that for a long time. Basically, the graphics only degrade on my map. What could be causing this?
In other words, the map starts with great graphics, but as soon as I enter an unknown area, everything gets worse! And sometimes the graphics recover... it's definitely not a hardware issue! There must be some kind of graphics setting in the editor, or something similar.
Can anyone help me out?

Please tell me how to rotate objects in the editor? I mean, how to make the exit from a city on the left side instead of the bottom.

Hooray, I found it! How do I make dungeons of different colors, i.e., red, yellow, etc.?

Guys, I created a map but haven't tested it yet. If anyone wants to download it, here's the link: http://slil.ru/23250126. If you find any bugs (and there probably will be), please email me at fox581@rambler.ru. I'll listen to all your suggestions on mapmaking.

Friends, I think everyone understands that you can’t achieve anything good through self-teaching (except for poorly made maps). A comprehensive manual for the editor is needed; if one exists, I’d like to download it. If not, let’s write it together!

I have a problem with the Dungeon. I'm creating a map with it, and when I click "Descend," everything is pitch black. I can't do anything – I can't place terrain or anything else. And if I try to place any objects, they just float in the air...

Guys, help! I downloaded patch 1.4 for Heroes 5 and the Russian language pack for the editor. I started editing, saved the map, but it won't open in the editor and is only 1 KB in size. What should I do??? :confused:
Please, someone help me.

There's a manual in the add-on :)

Please tell me how to rotate objects in the editor, so that, for example, the exit from the city is not at the bottom, but on the left.

Hold down the R key and rotate.

Also, you can rotate the view freely with the Ctrl key, not just in 90-degree increments.

A question related to the "turn the hut so it faces me with its front towards the forest and its back towards me" concept. How do you change the orientation of mines and all other attributes in the editor, as initially they all face the same direction?

This is a question about how to rotate objects, like turning a house to face the forest. How do you change the position of mines and other attributes in the editor, since they all initially face the same direction?

Edit -> rotate object.

Guys! Question! Is it possible to edit standard maps using the editor? If so, how do I open them in it? :smile07:

I don't even know why these map editors exist if they create terrible maps that are impossible to play. They create such garbage.

Actually, it's the people who create bad maps, not the editor. Blaming programming errors for poor map design is not cool.

Hey guys, could someone help a newbie out? Can you open campaign maps in the editor? Because, damn, they start with basic skills! You can't even max out Super Luck for the Elves, and I really wanted to! By the way, there's a phrase in the manual that says something like, "don't open campaign files, or things will go wrong..."
