Hello everyone, please tell me how to play on self-made maps.
Thanks in advance!

Guys, I have a problem. I'm creating a map, I save it, and a message pops up: "Map has no restrictions for Max Hero Level
Map has no rumours!" (The map has no restrictions on the maximum Hero level
The map has no rumors!) and the map doesn't work. Can you tell me what this is and how to fix it?:smile50:

The last one translates to: the map has no rumors.
Regarding the "doesn't work" issue, can you provide more details? Does it not open in the editor or in the game?

Could you explain it for those who are "particularly knowledgeable"? Here's the situation: I generated a random map (GSC) through the game, and it works fine (it launches from the game). Then, I open the map file in the map editor, just look at it, and don't change anything. When I save it, a warning pops up saying that "it won't work," and it saves with a lot of errors. In the Maps folder, this supposedly modified map is saved as a 1 KB file, and in the D:\GAMES\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Editor\H5MMods folder, an 811 KB folder appears with a bunch of miscellaneous files that make up the map. As a result of viewing it in the editor, the map disappears from the game. :(
Help a clueless person; I've already messed up a lot of maps by trial and error, and I don't understand what's wrong...
Where can I find that much-needed manual for the map editor, even if it's in the Buryat language – I just want to read it; otherwise, I can't figure it out by using my intuition. :(

Could you provide a solution for “highly intelligent” users? The situation is as follows: I generated a random map through the game (Random Map Script), and it works normally (it launches from the game). Then, I open this map file in the map editor, just look at it without making any changes, and save it – an alert pops up saying that "nothing will work," and it saves with many errors. In the Maps folder, this supposedly modified map is saved as a 1-kilobyte file, but in the D:\GAMES\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Editor\H5MMods folder, an 811KB folder appears with a bunch of miscellaneous files that make up the map. As a result of viewing the map in the editor, the map disappears from the game :(

Where can I find that much-needed manual for the map editor, even if it's in Buryat language – I would still read it because I can't turn on my brain to figure things out :(
It should have been moved to the top of the topics long ago, into the FAQ.
Although, they probably won’t read it anyway:smile17:

It should have been moved to the top of the forum and added to the FAQ a long time ago.
Although no one will read it anyway:smile17:
I was looking for it :) , I saw it :) , but there are no Russian characters... maybe after carefully studying the manual http://blackknights.narod.ru/guide_mapmaker.htm and spending several evenings practicing with the map editor, the feeling of stupidity will go away on its own :D

I am interested in (special scripts) for Necropolis. If anyone knows of any, please let me know.

I'm new to mapmaking, so I have some questions that many consider to be very basic: how do you build structures in a town, and how do you select an object to delete it?

Gilraen, read the manual.
Sumrak, I think I also read about it on the forum, and that even that doesn't help. Try reinstalling the game; if that doesn't work, I don't know, because everything was fine for me.

My editor works fine, I just don't know how to use it, but I want to learn. I'm still learning English, so I don't understand 50% of the manual.
Please answer my questions here if possible. How do I build structures in cities, and how do I name them, etc.? (I've already figured out the second question).

you need to go into the building's properties (I don't remember exactly how, it's either with Enter, Spacebar, or the right mouse button).

Well, I think this isn't a new question, but please tell me step by step what to do.
I want to edit an existing map that comes with the game.
I found on the forum that I need to extract the "maps" folder from the data file. I extracted it, but there appeared files with names like "ground terrain.bin," "mM2_2_pic.dds," "map-tag.xdb," and in each map (M2), there are a bunch of such files. But the editor only understands files with the ".h5m" extension, and these seem to be for some design programs, etc. Tell me what to do so that I can edit them.

Kayman036, put all of this into a zip archive and rename the extension to h5m. For example, to see how it's done, rename a map you've already created to zip and see how it's structured. It's best to do this several times with different maps.

Well, basically, the maps don't open; an error occurs during the process, and I probably missed something. I noticed that different maps have a different number and structure of files, and that they have a path inside like maps/multiplayer or maps/RMG. I tried to do the same, but it still doesn't work. I archived it without compression. The game version is 3.1 with the latest official patch; maybe that has something to do with it.
