Posts from How to create a video for a map?

Probably a bit of a silly question, but – how do you create videos in the Dungeon? I made a custom map for this, and I specified it in the video, but it always opens on the surface, and there's no option in the video creation interface to switch to the Dungeon. I tried placing objects only in the Dungeon on the map, but the video interface still shows the surface. How do I fix this, what did I miss?

UPD. I figured it out. I copied one of the developer's maps for videos with a Dungeon and edited it to my needs. I also checked the settings of this map, and I didn't find any differences from mine, but nevertheless, it opens with the Dungeon, and mine doesn't... oh well.

UPD. I've basically figured it out. I copied one of the developer maps for videos with an underground area and edited it to suit my needs. At the same time, I checked the settings of this map and found no differences from my own, yet it opens with the underground area, while mine doesn't... well, never mind.

In general, in the .xdb file of the map, there is a line called InitialFloor, which has a value of 0 or 1.
0 - the map will open on the surface
1 - in the underground.
Most likely, this also works for videos.

Yes, that’s most likely the case; the map I copied has this parameter set to 1. I was looking for something similar in the editor, but I didn’t think to check the xdb file. Thanks for the tip.

Hey guys, I've been through the thread, but I still don't understand how to create videos. I opened the developers' videos, but they can't be edited (I added creatures, gave them animations, but nothing happened). Maybe someone could take some time and explain it step by step?

Did anyone do anything based on this post? And considering the comment about the extended editor, which appears just one post later.
Also, there's some information with pictures in this issue of Vestnik Geroev. The article is titled "Directing in Heroes V."

Hello, is there a way to contact you? I would like to learn how to create DialogScenes.

With whom? With me? Well, ask if anything is unclear...

Is it possible to communicate with you through something that allows screen sharing? For example, Skype or Discord.

Ment, is it allowed or not?

Missed the message. Well, try following the article in the magazine first (there are screenshots there), and then... Well, ask in Skype if it doesn't work. My nickname is in my profile.

So, I decided to ask about it in parts:
1) how to give an animation to a creature
2) how to set up the camera (it's created, E)
The image is attached.

2) How to place a camera (it has been created, press E)

I used to create a whole bunch of cameras at once, planning everything out. Later, some difficulties might arise.
And you need to create not only cameras but also cam-sets (this is a resource that links two camera positions and defines how and when to transition between them). To do this, press "T" and tinker with the resulting dialog.

1) How to give an animation to a creature

I might be wrong, but it seems like this is done in the Dialog Scene settings. You select your scene in the resources, press "...", see a dialog box with a bunch of settings, where some of them should already be entered.
You need to configure Animations or something like that.

Ment, where is this article in the magazine?
