Posts from When I load a saved game, I get an error – I deleted the file and then restored it. Auto-translated

Basically, I have a problem: I accidentally deleted some files. Then I restored them, and now the save file (.GM1) doesn't work. When I try to load it through the game's load function, it sees the file, but when I try to play, it gives an error. Is there any way to extract the template that was used to generate the map from the GM1 file? http://alaa.party/se_1.GM1 http://alaa.party/1.GM1 http://alaa.party/2.GM1 When I open the map file itself using XXL Map Editor, I get an error. File version: 608584788 Current version = 28... The same thing happens when I delete and restore the file. Problems started. http://alaa.party/random_map_12.h3m I've read that you can fix it somehow using a HEX editor... by changing one byte or something, but I don't understand how.

That’s not right! Files from that server can’t be downloaded (where did you even find it? Have you not heard of normal file-sharing services or Google/Yandex Drive or Mail.ru Cloud?), but the main thing is: you can attach files to a message here (in extended mode).
Regarding the version error: you are probably opening a map or save file made in HotA in the regular "Heroes 3". Therefore, you need HotA and the map editor for it.
And also: I still downloaded one file from there, random_map_12.h3m, but its format doesn’t look like map files for "Heroes". So, maybe the files are simply corrupted. Or... wait, if you created them in the game using the HD mod, then they are ENCRYPTED! To decrypt them, you need to enter the passwords of all players.
