Is it possible to open the standard maps that come with Heroes 5 in the map editor, including the multiplayer maps?

It is possible...
To do this, use any archiver to open data.pak, find the maps folder, and extract it... After that, opening the map will not be a problem...

And what about the bugs? Are you sure it will work after all those clumsy attempts?

I wouldn't recommend something I haven't tested myself...

How do I create a map intro?

How do you change the map's splash screen?
Check the map's code... you'll find the name of the splash screen file there; it's in DDS format!

I looked at someone else's example, but I just realized why the images aren't working. Could it be due to the size?

I looked at the contents of the data.pak folder in the maps directory. There are a lot of different files there, but there's nothing you can open with an editor.

Could someone explain it step by step?
There are so many unclear files there!:smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33: :smile33:

The maps there are a bit strange... Not in h5m format, but a bunch of files, and it's unclear where they go... :smile17:

So, what's next? I extracted this folder, and where should I add what?:confused:

And if I modify the standard maps, will they work? And where are they located?

Take a look at mine... it's easier to navigate, with less unnecessary stuff... you'll quickly find what you're looking for.
And where can I get it? I'm having the same problem!

EUREKA!!!
I figured it out!
By myself and with my own intellect (almost – thanks to HEROESWORLD).
Those who knew everything all along (Xaker, for example:smile31:) could have shared the details. For everyone else.
But since no one is talking, I'll tell you.
Go into the data folder, then into data.pak/Maps. Look around. Here’s an example using Contested Island (Maps/Multiplayer/A1M3/A1m3). I simply extracted it from there. Created a1m3_1.zip/Maps/Multiplayer/A1M3/{all files here}. Renamed a1m3_1.zip to a1m3_1.h5m. It didn’t work. Then I “cut out” one of the folders named A1M3, resulting in a1m3_1.zip/Maps/Multiplayer/A1M3/{all files here}. Again, I changed the extension to h5m, put it in maps, and voilà! Now I can edit Contested Island however I want. Of course, it will be a separate map. And there are also some problems with the texts. More precisely, there are no texts (which isn't really a problem:)). You need to rewrite them (or find them somewhere in texts.pak and copy them from there).

If something is wrong, please correct me (I only tested this practically).
