Equi has one significant problem, in my opinion. The issue is that maps created in the Equi editor will not run in World of Warcraft, and, most importantly, they will not run on version 3.55.

I think Equi has one significant problem. The thing is, maps created in the Equi editor won't run in WoV, and most importantly, they won't run on version 3.55.

That's true; it did happen. But there are very few such maps, and a comrade from the "Equi" forum found a solution to this problem:
- Open the map in the editor. Go to Map Properties, select the "Artifacts" tab. Uncheck "Define available artifacts." Save the map.
I checked – the recipe works (maps "Allies," "Alexandra the Great").

Well, the fact that maps designed for "Equi" don't start in WoV – what's so surprising about that? They aren't supposed to. Another big plus of "Equi" is that the mod doesn't overwrite the game's executable file:
- you can start WoV if you want, or you can run the mod. They coexist perfectly.

Before, when "Whirlwinds of War" was popular, and the mod was just released, the internet was slow and unreliable – of course, WoV was the preferred platform for creating content. Now, when the game's audience is small, the mod has grown to version 3.55, and downloading 7-10MB is no longer a problem, IMO, it's better to create content for "Equi."

What is this recipe for? :) Optimization for 3.55 from 3.51 maps? Or for WoV?

2Zybr,

This is a recipe for opening such maps (i.e., maps for World of Warcraft) under the 3.55 mod version (wasn't that the question? Or are we misunderstanding each other? ;) )
To clarify: some World of Warcraft maps don't start under "Equi" 3.55.

If you're talking about "Equi" maps not opening and running under World of Warcraft, that's perfectly logical.

Okay, I'll try to debug Autumn using this method in the evening. Thanks in advance.

It might have already been discussed, but here's a problem.
I'm creating a map and a small army. I approach neutral creatures and want them to join my side. It seems like everything is normal; I approach them, the "change owner" trigger activates, and I'm taken to a battle. That is, both squads are my color. How can I fix this? I need to simply transfer the squad to my side without a battle.

There are several ways to resolve this situation (see the attached archive).

2bionika8,

Is the player set as a human in the map settings?
If you want, attach the map to the message, I'll take a look and, if I can, give you more specific advice.

Are you saving the map in the correct folder?

bionika, maybe you're saving it in the "games" folder? It's possible that something is wrong with the settings, if you can find any.

How do I install Equi? I can't figure it out; I installed it, but it won't launch! The website says I need to read some FAQs, but there aren't any! What should I do?

Многие их ищут, многим они вовсе не нужны, а многие даже не замечают их, не понимают что они вокруг нас, каждый день, везде.
А эти чудеса порой, сокрыты в обычных, привычных предметах.

How do you use triggers in the editor (events, I think)? And what are they in general?

Hey everyone! I decided to create a larger map for a friend. I encountered a problem that's ruining everything. In Heroes 4, there are so-called obstacle brushes. The standard brushes I have aren't working for me... Maybe someone could share some good brushes? Because placing each tree individually on a huge map is a bit tedious XD
