Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

I did everything according to the instructions, but I still don't understand what to do.

It means you didn't follow all the instructions :D

As far as I know, inserting your own models isn't as easy as it seems.

Extended List of Neutral Creatures - Russian version of the NCF project

Maybe this mod will help you in some way, or maybe you will use it :)

No, I followed all the instructions exactly... everything is clear except for the last point: "Now, the menu item Objects -> Export in the Heroes editor will work for all model components (Geometry, AIGeometry, Skeleton, and BasicSkelAnim in the object type filter in the editor)." Can you explain what "menu item Objects -> Export" means? P.S. Thanks for the link to the interesting mod.

GAME FOLDER\profiles\editor_a2

if this file doesn't exist, then
GAME FOLDER\profiles\editor

change the line
setvar map_editor_mode = 1
to
setvar map_editor_mode = 0

as a result, you will have additional options in the editor :)

Thank you. I've heard about the Advanced Mode and even read how to enable it, but in the end... I ended up in the wrong folder... and the main thing is, I found that file and the line... and then I wondered why nothing changed...

Help, please, anyone know? I have the map editor in Tribes of the East, but when I start creating something, it saves the map but doesn't load it, and gives an error. Also, the map doesn't appear in the game. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Let me know! And in general, it's easy to figure everything out, and you can easily create a good map!

Hello everyone. I decided to try mapmaking, but on one site, I was told that for the maps to work and not produce errors when loaded into the editor, I need to place them in the heroes of might of magic_main directory\maps folder. Where is this folder located?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

for the maps to work, the game path must be in English.
for example:
D:\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East

NOT LIKE THIS!
D:\Герои

so, in this folder with the game, there is a folder called maps.
the maps are located there.
this is an old problem, and there is plenty of information about it.

I have the game path set to English. But when I try to open a map, it gives me an error (can't load, followed by the game's location): ( :confused:


Everything's working now. The path was incorrect.

And how do I make it so that there are 2 Ash Tears on the map, and is that even possible?

How do I give a city a name?

Guys! It's very urgent! I've searched everywhere, but I can't find anything!
The issue: I have version 3.1 (Tribes of the East) installed on the "Gold Edition". How do I open a standard (developer-created) map in the editor? The "maps" folder is empty. I found a pack of maps in the "data" folder, changed the extension to .h5m, and ran it – but it opened a strange map... How do I find the correct map from this pack and edit it? (The pack is a single file).

1) How can I prevent the main hero :smile17: from having a town and needing to capture it within one week:smile35:? 2) How do I place a one-way portal (entrance) so that completing the mission :smile49: after entering it doesn't require exiting, and so that the Map Editor doesn't require an exit?:smile42: 3) How do I create campaigns?:smile45:

author, please look at the section more carefully. There is no need to create new topics just like that: down:

RilAgrail, here's what you need to do: 1) In the objectives, for all main quests, change DieInWeekWithoutTown from true to false. 2) Create a trigger for a region that matches your portal. There's plenty of information about this, so I won't go into detail. 3) (Sorry, I don't have the editor handy. I remember that you need to create all the missions first, and then combine them. This is done in one of the tabs at the top of the screen, I think. But it's best if you download a campaign (like Islands of Mystery) and see for yourself.

Thanks, Ment. Regarding the campaign, I read that there should be a "Create campaign" button, but I don't have it. I only have "Create Random Map."

That's strange. Perhaps the issue lies in the fact that you're using the Hammers of Fate editor. It seems a bit outdated. I'm not entirely sure how much it differs from Tribes of the East in terms of functionality, but it definitely has significantly fewer objects. And I'm not even sure if it's capable of being expanded.

found the data pack
<...>
the pack is a single file

data.pak is a simple archive. Unzip it with any archiver (like WinRAR, for example), and you'll be happy (I think you'll figure out what to do next).
