First, you need to prepare the images (width 240, height 180 pixels) and save them in dds format (you don't need the DXT type, but 8888; the image editor should ask you this when saving). Then, go to MapPropretiesTree -> thumbnail images -> add, and in the row, click 'new' and edit the created file. It is best to make sure that all fields copy the corresponding fields from an existing image of this type (for example, maps/singlemissions/a2s1/thumb_sm1_1), but we won't need srcName. This completes the work in the editor. Now, close it and open the map archive. Go to maps/singlemissions/map name and find the xdb file that we recently created in the editor. Copy the image into our folder, and in the file, in the DestName line, in quotes, write the name of the image (the path is not needed). Archive it and enjoy.

You might also need to delete the SrcName line when editing the xdb file.

I have a white screen instead of an image; what should I do?

Something must have been done incorrectly, please double-check. I personally followed all the steps exactly yesterday, and everything worked.

What is type 8888? I'm converting using DDS Converter 2, and that option isn't available there. It allows you to choose DXT1c, DXT1a, DXT3, and DXT5. Could you tell me which editor you use?

None of these options work. I use the free paint.net, and the save window for DDS files looks like this (I've highlighted the format I need):

Before creating the map, I accidentally selected "single mission". After finishing it, I wanted to play it online with a friend, but there's only an option to load multiplayer maps. Is it possible to convert my map from "single mission" to "multiplayer" without redoing it? Please advise.

Hello everyone visiting the forum!
Could someone please tell me how to create a hero from a campaign, such as Godric or Duncan, in a duel battle when creating it? Because I couldn't find anything other than the standard characters(((
If it's possible to add heroes from campaigns, please let me know! I'm eagerly awaiting a response!:smile01: :smile01: :smile01:

If I'm not mistaken, it's impossible.

Why not? You just need a small mod. Take a look in data.pak, in the \Maps\DuelMode\Heroes folder, take one of the files and edit it. You can change the shared settings, so that a different hero will be used in the duel, correct the number of creatures, and so on. However, for online play, your opponent will also need to have this mod.

If possible, please explain in more detail what needs to be changed, as I didn't quite understand it:smile39: :smile39: Thank you for the answer to everyone!
