Tell me, how can I make it so that you can choose a hero in a random town? When I start, I can choose a town (or I might not), but I can't choose a hero at all?
map properties\player properties\check the "main town" box\check the "generate hero in town" box.

I'm very curious, why doesn't this masterpiece of engineering (i.e., the map editor) open the map afterward? Is this a bug or something else?

I have the same bug! After saving a map, the memory usage becomes 1Kb instead of 200 or 400. And they don't load in the game. What is this? Does anyone know? :smile32: If it weren't for this, I would have already created so many maps!!! :smile17:

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the map editor, but I have a question. The human faction, for example, is called Haven, but what are the renegades called? And what are their heroes called? For example: Axel = Sarge.

Has anyone figured out why the created maps take up 1 KB? Could you be more specific about what "due to Russian letters" means?

3DogMZA, can you create maps?
I haven't tried yet. As for the Russian letters, they mean that the game shouldn't be located in a folder with Russian letters, like "D:[U]Games[/U]\Heroes 5", but I'm not sure if that will help! I've already changed the folder name from Russian to English, but I haven't tried making maps yet! I'll do it and let you know!

It helped me, although my friend had the same problem, but there were no Russian letters...

I actually had that problem too, but I renamed the folder! I'll try it today!

Reinstalling the game in C:\Program Files\ fixed the issue, and the editor now works correctly.

I changed the folder name from Russian to English, but it didn't help! I guess I need to reinstall the game! I installed the game on drive D! And you, Dimon21020, probably don't know how to use a computer if you install games on the system drive C! :smile33: Only programs should be stored there!

And you, Dimon21020, probably don't know how to use a computer, that's why you install games on the system drive C! :smile33: Only programs should be stored there!
Of course, reinstall it!
I also have some auxiliary Windows files on drive D. :)
Although the Windows folder itself is on C, there's only this one on D: Windows Vista Nome Basic RUS.

:smile40: It makes absolutely no difference which drive you install programs on. C and D are usually local drives - "hard drives" - and each of them works independently. One of them simply has the operating system installed, and the other is either empty or both can have the operating system installed. The only potential problem is if a program needs files from the operating system; in that case, it should be installed on the drive where the operating system is installed (it might be on D). Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you install programs on drive D or C!!! It has no significance!!!!!!!!!!!!

The operating system is simply installed on one of them, and the other is either used by it or both can be used.

It definitely matters! It all depends on where WINDOWS is located! Any self-respecting programmer or user wouldn't install games between the program and WINDOWS if they have another local drive!

Night Nazgul, I reinstalled the game, and the editor works great! Thank you! :)

I have several questions right away: :confused:
1. Is it possible to create videos, and if so, how?
2. How can I create a campaign, rather than individual missions?
3. How can I make enemy heroes stand still and not do anything (without restricting their freedom using the Draw Tool Size)?
Thank you in advance.

2. How to create a campaign, not just individual missions.
This feature was added in patch 1.5. ;) You can find instructions on how to do this in the manual. The manual can be found in the Start menu: All Programs - *the name of the game folder in the Start menu* (by default, Heroes of Might and Magic V) - Editor Documentation - Custom Campaigns. You're welcome. =)
