Okay, I'll install the Russian language pack, then I'll understand everything.

I wouldn't advise it. It's even less stable than the regular version.

I'm making a map for "Veteran" difficulty, but how do I configure it so that what I'm doing is appropriate for "Veteran"? Otherwise, even with the current settings, the armies are becoming unrealistically large.

You need to base the numbers on the "Warrior" difficulty. Only at this difficulty level does the starting number of creatures match what's set in the editor.
Regarding the settings:
DoesNotGrow - prevents growth
DoesNotDependOnDifficulty - the starting number does not depend on the difficulty.
Custom - an option to set your own number; if it's set to false, the numbers in Amount will be ignored.

How do I adjust the hiring/display camera angle outside of combat for a creature? Currently, it's a yeti/black knight, which I'm using to create an alternate upgrade for a mummy. By default, the zoom level is too high, and the angle isn't right.

It's impossible to do it through the editor.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to create custom icons for heroes? I converted the file to .tga, but the editor says that the required size is (PAY ATTENTION!!!) - 128x128x32!!! Can someone explain to this newbie how a size of 128x128x32 is possible?! What are these three values?! Length, width, and depth, or something?! Are you saying it's 3D (lol)? Maybe I'm just not very bright?

It's not possible through the editor.

But is there any way to change the existing camera settings at all?
If you search through the game files, the camera settings (though not for all creatures) are in a separate folder.
But I can't find where the creatures have direct links to the camera settings.

The catch is that you can't edit this through the editor. However, if we open one of the main files of a standard creature using Notepad, we'll see the numbers that determine this. These numbers are not visible in the editor's files, and they won't be present at all when creating a creature independently.

The exception is NCF files; they have a separate, convenient camera file for each new creature.

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong? Zephyr dies, but the quest doesn't fail, and the game continues.

I recommend replacing the script with a quest of the type "hero death" (there is such a quest). We create it, find a place to enter the parameters, and enter the script name.

Is this for RTF?

If necessary, I will provide detailed instructions with names and where to put what, but you already have the quest; just change its type and specify the hero!

Thank you, it helped. I was struggling with it.

No, it's just a map for testing scripts.
Anyway, can someone tell me what's wrong here:

Your check is only performed once – at the beginning of the game.
To have the check run throughout the game, you need to place the condition in a loop.

function CheckAlive()
	while IsHeroAlive('Zehir') do
		sleep(5)
	end
	SetObjectiveState('kill', OBJECTIVE_FAILED)
	Loose()
end

startThread(CheckAlive)

Ah, that's what it is. Thank you!

A new question has appeared:
I set the path for the computer:

MoveHeroRealTime( "Hero1", 82, 216);

But in the game, the console says that it cannot find a path to that cell. How can I show it the path? If needed, 82, 216 is the cell at the entrance to the city.

It cannot be sent to the object. It seems a different command is used.

Markel, 32 – it’s all about pixels. Dear forum moderators, I have a couple of ideas for the modding FAQ (about creating pits and depressions (large depressions) and about blurred textures).

A pixel is a structural unit of an image, but what does it have to do with this?

has anyone encountered this error?:

Start player does not exist on map /.../map.xdb#xpointer(/AdvMapDesc)

the hero is on the map, all settings are correct, only the AI has castles.
