Discussion about mapmaking in Heroes V. Auto-translated

Listen, who even came up with the map generator for Heroes of Might and Magic V?! In previous versions, the generator was much better. Added 2 minutes later. Who came up with this editor?! (the latest one)

Could you please provide information on where I can find details about creating custom templates in the map generator? I see some references to SP1-3P2, but it's not clear.
Also, how can I create a map with a sea and allow for navigation?

Well, technically, you can create a sea using water:smile16:. And if you do it through the standard panel, you'll definitely be able to swim in it.

All questions regarding the map editor should be posted in this thread: /topic/3556/

Maybe I didn't express myself clearly. I don't use the editor directly. I want the map generator to create a map with water.

Move them to the Maps folder, which is located in the game's folder, in Nival Interactive.

Drake, it works the same way in the map generator. I'm talking about something else – it always generates land, regardless of the size or template. I'm playing as the Tribes of the East.

YChebisheva I understand what you mean, but I don't know how to do it. Perhaps by changing the structure of the generator itself.

Yes, unfortunately, there are no options for creating maps with water. You can, of course, come up with something, but you'll have to dig around. And I just replied to the wrong message in the previous post. Or maybe the message I was replying to was deleted.

Oh, how awful, does it really have to involve DRAGGING objects instead of just CLICKING on them? Yes, compared to the scripting mechanism, the dungeon creation, the management using only hotkeys arranged in an incomprehensible way, and other quirks of their editor for HoMM5, this is simply terrible! But why, then, on the second day of getting acquainted with the HoMM4 editor, can you create a scenario with scripts without using any manuals, while in HoMM5, after a week, you still can't master it? As for whether it's a scenario or a campaign, it's definitely a campaign because of the unique heroes, the interesting plot, and all the other things mentioned. If a scenario has all of this, then it's just a draft for a campaign.

Why drag it right away? You click on the object in the list, select the appropriate location and rotation angle, click again – and it’s already on the map itself. But with scripts, yes, it’s more complicated.
