So, is there something else I haven't done?
I think so.
The hero's army shouldn't affect it. Most often, the problem is the absence of a castle or enemies, something like that...
Hello! Can you tell me how to change or add a custom starting bonus on a map (not a campaign), besides the three that already exist?
Like gold/resources/artifact/something else? I'm afraid that it's not possible, or it requires a rather complex mod.
You can add additional effects to the bonuses using scripts, but without a mod, it won't be displayed in the interface when selecting a map.

I don't even know. The map is small, it's the first test. That's why I put two random castles and two random heroes. I didn't assign any armies to them. Besides the bug that worries me, there was another one. I'm not very good at English, but it seems like something related to the north and the army of the hero. And that's it. Another question: is it enough to save the map for it to appear in the game?

FireFox821, does the map have at least 2 players? It seems like that's the only critical requirement.

Uh, well, a random player and a random castle belonging to player 1, and the same belonging to player 2.

In short, forget these maps. It's a complete mess. I set up absolutely everything that could interfere or is required for the map. I didn't use random heroes or random castles. I did everything as instructed. There's a Rumour, there's a specialization, I even added an army to the heroes. Each hero corresponds to their own castle. Everything is perfect, everything is correct, even the check says there are no errors. I load the game, go to online games to view the maps - mine isn't there. In general, forget it, it's a waste of time and nerves.

perhaps you created a single-player map, not a multiplayer one, which is why it doesn't appear in the online lobby.

In short, forget these maps. It's a real mess here. For the experiment, I set absolutely everything that could interfere with or is required for the map. I didn't take random heroes or random Castles anymore. I did everything as instructed. There's Rumour, there's specialization, I even added armies to the heroes. Each hero corresponds to their own Castle. Everything is perfect, everything is correct; even the check says there are no errors. I load the game, go into network games to look at the maps – mine isn't there. In general, it all went down the drain; I just wasted time and nerves.

There is a guide on creating basic maps; everything is explained and shown. /topic/13059/

Well, if you didn't choose Multiplayer Arena after the name when creating the map, then you won't be able to play this map in multiplayer mode.

I followed the guide. The multiplayer arena is already set up by default; I've clicked on it so many times.

FireFox821, something strange is happening with the game for you. I simply create a new multiplayer map in the editor, place 2 random castles and 2 entry points for them, and don't do anything else. I save it, launch the game, and the map is fully playable (only the heroes at the entry points don't appear; I don't know what's causing that).

Could you provide more details about the "Entry point"? I don't think I set it up. Instead, I usually took a specific hero from "Heroes (Generic)" and placed it after the green castle tile.

FireFox821, this is a cube on the same tab from "Heroes (Generic)". Theoretically, it should indicate the location where a random starting hero will appear. That is, it is analogous to a random castle.

And here’s another question: will the computer interact with scripted objects? For example, I have a prison scripted in such a way that it ceases to function as intended and instead works as a portal, transporting the player to a dungeon from which, let’s say, there is no identical entrance and exit in one place.

And, no result. No matter what I do, it still doesn't appear in the game. It's strange that the game and the map editor are in the same folder, but they don't interact with each other at all. Maybe I should try creating a very simple map step by step?

I need help. While working in the editor, I received a "program has stopped working" error. I reopened it, worked for a while, saved, and closed the editor as usual. After a few hours, I couldn't open the map in the editor because it said the file might be corrupted, etc. (I used to get this error if there were Russian characters in the map's file path, but now everything is fine.) Please help, or at least tell me how I can save the map's terrain and objects? (Because I spent a lot of time and effort on it.)

Кампания "Искупление" - 15%



О кампании

"Искупление" - это мой амбициозный проект. Давняя мечта. С детства играя в героев, я восхищался персонажами и ландшафтами, сюжетом и стилем оригинальной трилогии, я мечтал привнести что-то свое в эту игру,  и наконец, более-менее освоив нелегкий труд картостроителя, взялся за воплощение мечты. Кампания расскажет о будущем выживших рыцарей Кровавой Стали, о пути, который они избрали, и о том, куда этот путь их приведет. К слову, мне нужен тестер-оценщик. Если хочешь принять участие в создании и есть определенный опыт, то - добро пожаловать!
