Hey everyone, does anyone know if there's a way to fix the talkboxforplayers function? Or maybe there's a decent alternative to this function? Just a reminder that when used in multiplayer, it breaks save files.

Try creating a folder with the file in the map at the following path: /map/UI/CommonBoxes/TalkBox/ and place the file there. This is assuming that the game version is in Russian.
in the Russian version of the game, this file doesn't exist, and without it, the function shouldn't work at all. If it works but corrupts saves, then the problem lies elsewhere, and it's unlikely to be fixable.
It didn't help. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Why was that particular advice given?
If you are using standard icons in dialogues, try copying them into the map. (Also, save files may be corrupted due to version mismatches; all players should be using version 3.1).
Question: Is it possible to modify the landscape using scripts? Lower/raise levels, add/remove water, etc. If not, what principle is used to generate the map in the original Heroes of Might and Magic?
Is it possible to modify the landscape using scripts?
I think the only way to work around this is by using removable rocks, stones, trees, etc., to hide another landscape underneath. Scripts only work with objects, i.e., everything described in map.xdb, while the landscape is stored in the binary file GroundTerrain.bin.

Not quite what I was looking for, unfortunately. But thanks for the idea!
Hey everyone, are there any forum members who are familiar with combat scripts or know where I can find documentation about them? Ideally, please provide a link to such a document. How do they work, how do you write them (in a separate document in a script editor or somewhere else), and what do you do with them after you've written them?
Min_Carolin, refer to the Novice's guide, section "Tactical Mode." It contains a comprehensive description. The script is written in a separate file and assigned to a hero using the command: SetHeroCombatScript(HERO_NAME, '/combat_script.xdb#xpointer(/Script)'); You can find examples on many maps; simply search for this command.
Min_Carolin, check the Beginner's Guide, in the Tactical Mode section. It contains a fairly comprehensive description.

Thank you very much. I've been looking for this legendary guide for a long time, which many people mentioned, but none of my Google searches yielded any results.
Hey everyone, could you please tell me if it's possible to update or add text to the quest description? So that this text doesn't appear immediately in the quest window. And also, please explain how to set the day for a specific function to be executed, starting the count from the day another function is executed.
Manual quests support execution stages; you can configure a separate description text for each stage. See the SetObjectiveProgress function and the ProgressCommentsFileRef property of the quest.
How do I set the day for executing a specific function, starting the count from the day another function is executed?
At the moment of counting, remember the current day:
Then, check in a trigger for a new day whether the required time has passed:
Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER, 'NewDay'); function NewDay() if ((GetDate(ABSOLUTE_DAY) - start_day_for_waiting_something_important) == REQUIRED_TIME) then YOUR CODE end end

Botojan, I can only offer a couple of comments; I'm not sure how critical they are in your specific case.
if newowner == PLAYER_1 == nil then
I wouldn't recommend using such a complex syntax. There's a high chance of making a mistake.
""Bobruisk"", ""TownCaptured""
I'm not entirely sure if double-double quotes like that will be processed correctly.
for i = 1, 14 do total = total + GetHeroCreatures( heroname, i ) * costs; end;
The link to the Haven castle is within the loop from 1 to 14 – these are the IDs of the creatures in that castle. Look for the IDs you need in the documentation.
