I've encountered a problem: I'm creating a map with a Dungeon, doing everything correctly, and there are no errors, but the map doesn't appear in the game. I used to create maps, and everything worked even with errors, but now there are simply no errors, yet the map won't load.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Is there anything on the surface?

I have a question for mapmakers: why are there so many scenarios and so few campaigns? I understand that creating a campaign takes longer, but in a campaign (in my opinion) the plot can be revealed much better (just remember the Unicorn Empire, Islands of Mystery, and even the Masters).

I would combine my scenarios into a campaign, but there is one problem: all my scenarios conflict with each other.

Gentlemen, this is a crucial question – we have a tab in the editor for objectives (in other words, allowing you to create scenario goals), and this wonderful tab has a whole bunch of additional functions, but I can’t figure out what they do because the editor swallows half of their names. Although I understand English well, how can I understand what two identical lines “Is initially…” do? Yes, that’s exactly how it’s written – I couldn’t expand them at all and read what they do. Please help me with this, or explain what each function does line by line. Thank you in advance, fellow mapmakers.

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!

Guys, I'm having trouble with the editor. It doesn't recognize objects that can be placed on the map, like artifacts, landscapes, etc., on the right panel.

I used to be able to place them. The game is a licensed version.

Please help me solve this problem, I beg you, esteemed people, elves, non-humans, mages, and others!

P.S. And tell me, please, if I create a map randomly based on a template, castles randomly, and place artifacts around the castles (if you help me with the problem mentioned above), and I need to make this map multiplayer, then the question arises: how and where do I fix errors so that the game has the effect of online battles?

Thank you in advance to all the helpers. May your efforts be successful!

Here are screenshots of the editor itself and the files in the folders (maybe this contains useful information).
P.S. Also, in the EDITOR folder, there's a folder at the top called H5MMods... is that a non-standard folder? If not, how can I get rid of it?

The editor keeps referencing it.

Guys, I'm having trouble with the editor. It doesn't recognize objects that can be placed on the map, like artifacts, terrain, etc., in the right panel next to the map.

I used to be able to place them. I have a legitimate copy of the game.

Please help me solve this problem, I beg you, esteemed people, elves, non-humans, mages, and others!)

P.S. And tell me, please, if I create a map randomly based on a template, with castles placed randomly, and I place artifacts near the castles (if you help me with the problem mentioned above), and I need to make this map multiplayer. Then the question arises: how and where do I fix the errors so that the game has the effect of online battles?

Thank you in advance to all the helpers. May your efforts be successful! )

If objects are not displayed in the editor, then:

You can try reinstalling the game, but once I "fixed" this crash by deleting a strangely named file without an extension called index in one of the game folders. At least, the appearance of this file always caused an empty column of objects in the editor for me.

Everyone... I solved the problem with displaying objects on the Tools panel myself.

/topic/7934/ post #4811 – a person pointed out a suspicious file called index.bin in the DATA folder. I deleted it, and voilà… everything started working. I'm giving him my like.

But question 2 is still relevant regarding multiplayer games: how can I launch a map after using the editor without errors?

The index.bin file is created in the data folder after generating a random map. It is initially empty and replaces the original file containing all the editor objects. If you delete it, everything will return to its normal state.

And here's another question for those in the know: I've selected an object to place on the map, but how do I remove it later to avoid duplication? In other words, how do I take it off the cursor? I won't be able to find the answer in the manual that quickly.

Thanks a lot. The answers here are really better than any manual. I would have been searching for ages and probably wouldn't have found it so quickly. Like.

And help me with saving maps so that there are no errors. So that I can play in Multiplayer with other players. I really appreciate it. Please.

Okay. I created a map using a template, made it the way I wanted, but when I save it, it says something about shrines... How do I remove them? Or rather, how do I fix this problem? Help me, guys. It says in English that the map may not work in Multiplayer mode, and that's not good.

And another problem arose with the map I created in the editor. I decided to test it with a guy in an online battle, but he can't join, and the game says that the checksum of the game base does not match.
What could be the reason and how can I fix it?

Here's the question. I want to delete a creature with the name 'crypt', but I can't seem to do it:
RemoveObject ("crypt")
But it seems that such objects cannot be deleted so easily using this command. Is it even possible?
