Is there a Russian localization for the editor?

The Bukovsky editor has been fully translated into Russian, but if something is missing, we will try to fix it. In the Download section for Heroes 3, there is a resource editor for the game; download it and open ResEdit2.exe. Then, open the text.h4r archive, go to strings->campaign editor, perform Edit->File Manager, and rewrite the files from the archive, replacing the standard ones. After the replacement, click the Make Change button, and that's it. But this is just one option; I'm not posting the entire archive to avoid potentially damaging other texts. Be sure to make a copy of the archive before making any changes. Or, perhaps someone else can post the archive. What version of Heroes do you have?
Whirlwinds

The death of pop music, you have created a very beautiful map :) But I don't have time to play it yet, as I'm busy with my own. So, the question is, is there any guide to scripts (besides the small comment in the editor itself)? If not, then you will have to help us (the uninitiated) with this.

And one more question. Does the hero start without an army? I think I missed that... And if she joins him?
Thank you, Pandora.
Regarding the question about the army: you can add units, even on the 2nd day. First, he is a lone wolf of digital scenarios.
As for the scripts, I tried not to overcomplicate things: there are no extremely complex scripts.
In addition, I worked on my map again and offer you "version 1.2" (dialogues improved, errors fixed. The balance of enemies has been refined in detail.
I think that I will include this scenario in the campaign, as I was going to edit my own anyway, taking into account possible criticism.

Perhaps, after that, there will be version 1.3.
For now, download version 1.2. (sorry for those with a metered internet connection)

I'm stuck... I've been working on it for two days with breaks, but it still feels like it won't be ready to be released anytime soon. But I'm trying, trying to increase the pace (but Zubr and I still have a tournament ahead of us...). The story is completely ready, the concept too, but I'll tell you how I make the map :) I chose Dungeon, with an underground (that's the hardest part).
I won't be focusing too much on scripts either; I think I've figured out the triggers.
It seems the genre will be different, though. Personally, I'm going for fantasy; there's no reality except for the nickname.

The main thing is to do it gradually.
I can suggest a plot – find your own box (i.e., Pandora's Box).

P.S. It would be good if everyone reported on the current stage of work.

About a quarter or a little more is ready. Perhaps tomorrow I will acquire Whirlwinds and continue developing them, but it depends. I'm working on scripts; some player actions will have certain consequences. For example, if you don't kill the Knight at the beginning of the game, as requested by the jealous wife, you will receive financial assistance from him in the middle of the game.

There's no need to reveal all the secrets.

Who else is working on scenarios?

I bought Whirlwinds, looked at the map, and a question arose. Are we creating a fantasy campaign or something humorous that is close to reality? The map is definitely beautiful, but some of the circumstances of the scenario confuse me. Or will you still rework it?

ZYbr, I reviewed the Whirlwinds archives; the text files for the Whirlwinds editor are in the X2 archive, but everything is translated there. However, in the text archive, the files contain some kind of gibberish. I don't understand if the encoding has changed, but for now, it is not possible to change the texts (or translate them manually). Otherwise, the entire editor will crash. Sorry for the misinformation.

We are creating a map "according to the mapmaker's desire," meaning you write a great story. Well done, I'll write a fantasy story, pseudo-realistic, with some censored humor thrown in.
The result: the campaign will convey everything that a Heroes 4 forum can convey.

There are NO restrictions on the plot.

The main thing is to do it slowly and steadily.

No, everything is fine with the plot. I'm creating a "great narrative fantasy," as you call it. But perhaps later there may be questions about scripts or triggers.
Also, thank you for your excellent work ethic. It helps a lot. I hope that in the intense work, I will be able to distract myself a little from some problems that are bothering me.

Death to pop music; I don't need your praise, I just want to figure out the details. Let's say we have a campaign. Some people connect it to the world of Heroes, some people come up with nonsense inspired by a book (like me), and some people connect the map to reality. I'm getting at the fact that what will the result be? A mishmash of everything. Ah, we should have agreed beforehand on what limits to put on the scenarios. Freestyle is a fun thing, but we shouldn't have let it go unchecked. By the way, I didn't find any bugs in your map. I should take a closer look later, just in case.

We'll negotiate in the final scenario with all the heroes; for now, it's just an introduction to my hero.

Pandora, does my work ethic help? I'm glad you're optimistic; the main thing is not to rush and do everything to the best of your ability. If you have any questions, I'll help.

P.S. There seem to be fewer mapmakers around.

Okay... Now it's not just Pandora, but moderator Pandora who is in charge... Ta-da!!! Just kidding :) The topic is getting a little out of control. But that might even be good because its scope is expanding. We just need to make some adjustments, so please familiarize yourself with the following changes:

1. Respected idiotto's questions have been moved to the new thread Questions about Heroes IV Map Editor. Now we discuss all problems and questions arising during our creative process there.

2. All maps with brief descriptions and all comments are still posted in the thread Random Map Generation.

Therefore, Death of Pop Music, please upload your maps there.

3. In this thread, we only discuss the uploaded maps, brainstorm campaign/scenario plots, and occasionally report on completed work.

Sincerely, Pandora.

I read post 15 in the Random Map Generation thread. So, that's the issue! And I'm completely going in the wrong direction, not focusing on the portal and not even on reality... Well, I think nothing terrible will happen. It will add some variety.

I will re-upload the maps. Here’s a question: besides the three of us, is anyone else working on the campaign?
