How do you add a monster to the map, let's say archers, and if you attack them, there are also a few swordsmen in their group? In Tribes of the East, there were many of these; they are distinguished on the map by a red banner waving behind them. How do I do that?

Help, I'm completely confused. I want to place Barracks (or any other building that provides a weekly increase in a specific type of creature) on a map. In the original editor, I found them in All Terrain Objects, but now I'm trying to find them in the Fortress faction, and they're nowhere to be found. Where are they? Please help.

Does anyone know what image format should be used so that when creating a hero, you can set this image instead of the old one?

The format should be "tga". Try renaming your image to match that resolution and see if it works.

2 absd, there's a button like that...
First, select the Tiles tab on the right... There will be an UP button at the bottom, click it and remove the water.

Thank you, Prizrak, for your help; your advice was very useful, but another problem arose that prevents the map from launching. Here is a screenshot. All players are Player #1. Perhaps you know how to solve it: rolleyes.

This is a small bug in the editor (probably)... it sometimes annoys me a lot;)... Just alliances were set in the editor. Turn them off, and everything will be fine;)... I couldn't figure out why this happens. I hope you know where they are located.

I've been struggling with this question for a long time: how do you take a screenshot of the map so that it displays in the map properties (and not during loading) – that is, when you select the map. I used to be able to do it, but the screenshot was separate from the map, and when I moved the map to another computer, it would disappear. Hasn't anyone made screenshots of maps?

Please tell me how you did it so that the screenshots are visible (because I don't know).

Place a random hero in front of a random town. Or a racial hero.:smile19:

As far as I know, it is not possible to do this, unless you hack the game.

I've said it before, but I'll repeat: the video is created using scripts!!! There's no other way! You can look at maps where these videos exist and simply copy the script, setting your own coordinates, but this is not always convenient, as it was created specifically for one map (view angle, words, music, speed), but I haven't tried...

View -> Map Properties -> Players Properties
And there, for each player, check the box Generate Hero in Town

Tell me how to make a slope so that you can climb from one level of the plain to another.
