It's not possible.
Don't be afraid to create a map using a mod. In this case, it's easy to ensure that other maps are not affected.

I think a mod should only be called a mod if it potentially affects other maps. This is the case when you place an object and then change its properties using shared data (within the map, a clone of the object will be created with the same path, which will mask the original object). However, if you simply copy an object from the game's resources into the map's archive, give it a unique name, and customize it, there will be no problems.

Hello. I have a question regarding campaign creation: the list of maps to add to the campaign is empty (see screenshot). How can I resolve this issue?

Try clicking on this line and pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard (up/down).

Nothing happens.

This is a known issue with the campaign editor. You should manually edit the campaign file in Notepad. I don't know exactly how to do this, but take a look at the campaigns on the forum; they definitely do it that way.

Unfortunately, I don't understand what to do. Do I need to edit the campaign.xdb file?

most likely, yes. you can check out the campaigns on the forum as an example, such as Awakening of Evil or Unicorn Empire; they are all structured that way.

I understand how to create a campaign manually, but how do I extract the campaign folder from the H5MMods folder? No matter how I try, I get an error.

Guys, this problem doesn't bother me much right now, but still:
In general, there's a problem: in the file explorer, in the location where the game is installed, in the Maps folder, the maps are not visible, but in the editor, everything is displayed and opens perfectly.:confused: To make a backup, I have to delete the map in the editor and drag it from the Recycle Bin to the desired location (I can't copy from the editor, it says that the file to be copied does not exist).
Maybe someone knows how to solve this:rolleyes:

And also, when creating a dungeon, the walls look like caves. How can I make the walls look like dwarven walls?

And also, the "HoMM5 Map Scripts Editor" program also doesn't see the maps (I write scripts using Notepad).

You can change the walls in the dungeon using the last tab on the right, where you'll find objects, tiles, etc.

Please help. I created a map in the editor, but an error (object and craig intersection) prevents me from finishing it. I tried selecting the necessary square and pressing "H," but the error either didn't disappear or, upon further inspection, moved to the very bottom. In short, after ten minutes of struggling with it, there was no result. Tell me, what am I doing wrong?

This is not an error. It is a warning, but it will not affect the map's functionality.

I heard something about it: apparently, the terrain under this object or building is positioned incorrectly and will obstruct movement or prevent passage. Okay, let's assume it's not a problem. After saving the map, I entered the game, but it wasn't there. So, I must have missed something else?
(Perhaps the reason is that I didn't assign an army to the hero. But since it will be random, I didn't want to tie his initial army to a specific faction. Or is there a way to work around that?)

Hello! Could you please tell me how to change or add a custom starting bonus on a map (not a campaign), besides the three that are already available?
