Posts from [GUIDE] How to create your own hero?

A manual on creating your own, unique heroes. I wrote it because there is no complete answer on this topic in the forum, only fragments, and also because I have already answered this question 3 times in a month: how to create your own hero?
The result of half an hour of work is shown in the screenshots, good luck to you, dear mapmakers!

Also, within the editor itself, there's a special tool for you: Tools => Create Duel Preset.

You can also find the DuelMap in the AdvMapDesc table; all the duel heroes are arranged diagonally there. Select any one => Spacebar => Army

Hello dear }{0TT@6bI4.

I am sure this manual is very useful, but I've encountered problems with one of the points
Double-click on

it, and below, in another window that appears, the hero's parameters will be displayed.
After completing all previous steps and reaching this point, no other window appeared... If I try to click the line with the new hero in every possible way, at most it offers to rename him and that's it.

Hello everyone, I created my own hero using this manual, but as a result, a couple of questions arose:

1. Is it possible (and how, if so) to make it so that this hero can be selected in multiplayer, just like the others?

2. I didn't quite understand the last point about adding the mod content to the map folder; if I simply put the files from the mod inside the map archive, I don't understand how to place my hero in the map editor, or am I doing something wrong / did I misunderstand something?

Hello everyone, I created my own hero following this guide, but I have a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible (and if so, how) to make this hero selectable in a multiplayer game, just like any other hero?

2. I didn't quite understand the last point about adding the mod's content to the map folder. If I simply put the files from the mod inside the map archive, I don't understand how to set up my hero in the map editor, or am I doing something wrong/not understanding it correctly?

Answer to the first question:
Yes, you can choose new heroes in a multiplayer game. In the data archive, there is a sharedgroup folder, which contains a heroes folder, and in it, there is a text file called standartheroes (it contains a list of 8 heroes; you add a link to your hero's file there), and he will be available on maps generated by the map generator. If you want the hero to be available on maps created through the map editor, you need to go to the map file and, at the bottom of the map properties, there are lines called Availableheroes (it will contain a list of 64 heroes; you need to add your hero there), and he will be available for selection in the lobby of that map.

I can’t find either the sharedgroup or the map file; I checked everything. Could you please provide more specific instructions on where to find it, or attach a screenshot?
