Not at all. Take a hero, click Object Properties at the top of the screen, then Settings, and finally Experience.

Thank you very much, Ment!!!

Ment, unfortunately, something didn't work out... :smile05: :smile05: :smile05:
I found it, but it doesn't help, even though I wrote 10 and 19. I have a few level 1 units, and the rest are level 10 and 19, etc. Do you know what the reason is????

Level 1 is set initially - it works, but I wanted to set it to 10 or something other than 1, but nothing works, why????

Because it displays not the level, but the experience. To find out how much experience is needed for a specific level, look for the HOMM5_Hero_Level_and_Experience.pdf file in the Editor Documentation.

Ment, I can't find the manual. Could you please tell me how much experience is needed to reach: - Level 3. - Level 5. - Level 8. - Level 11. - Level 14. Thank you in advance!

3-2000

Thank you very much, Ment, everything worked out.
I'll post the map on the forum when I'm done. Take a look and let me know if it's good or not!

I would like to ask this question in advance. I have seen on many maps, including those not from the campaign, how a custom image is set in the loading screen instead of the standard HoMMV image. How can this be done?:confused:

For example, Ser9K had it in "OT: Dragon Wisdom".

A couple of questions arose, maybe someone knows:
1. How to reset the initial resource set for each player on a multiplayer map?
2. How to make all arenas on a specific map nighttime (including city capture arenas), and only on that map? (While ensuring that on any other map, the arenas remain the default - daytime).

1. SetPlayerStartResources(player, wood, ore, mercury, crystals, sulfur, gems, gold);
2. The lighting on the arenas is defined in the game's resources and cannot be changed without a special mod. That is, on other maps, if this is present in the maps folder, the arenas will also become nighttime.

Ment, thank you for the quick response.

You can simply use if HasArtefact("Erasial",66) then...
He will understand, the main thing is to remove the semicolon.

Yes, thank you, it helped. I have another question: what should the image be so that it is displayed when the map is loaded?

1024x1024, but some pixels at the bottom won't be visible (apparently starting from the 801st pixel).

Just in case, the format is dds.

Could you please provide guidance on how to correctly create a MessageBox (preferably with an example) so that the message appears for each player on a multiplayer map? I've tried using this method: MessageBox(GetMapDataPath().."qwerty.txt"); but it doesn't work.

Hmm, I don't know. Are you sure that the issue isn't specifically related to multiplayer?

To avoid various errors, it is strongly recommended to use a different function in Multiplayer, even if you need to send a message to all players ;)
MessageBoxForPlayers(player identifier, path to the message, function to be executed when OK is pressed)
Example:

MessageBoxForPlayers(GetPlayerFilter(GetCurrentPlayer()),GetMapDataPath().."win.txt");

GetPlayerFilter(GetCurrentPlayer()) 

- in this case, it's the current player;

GetMapDataPath().."win.txt"

- the path to the message.
To display it for each player, you'll need to write a line for each player, or use what I wrote above, but how exactly - it's up to you.
Example specifically for player 1 and player 2:

MessageBoxForPlayers(1,GetMapDataPath().."win.txt", "FF");
MessageBoxForPlayers(2,GetMapDataPath().."win.txt", "FF");

There are also Multiplayer equivalents for some functions. Just add ForPlayers to the end of the function name and the player identifier as the first parameter ;)

Hmm, I don't know. Are you sure that it's not working specifically because of Multiplayer?

Of course, it wouldn't hurt to check the file encoding, the file path (even with the GetMapDataPath() function, the file might be in a completely different folder), etc. - these are very common mistakes too.

2. The lighting on the arenas is defined in the game's resources and cannot be changed without a special mod. That is, on other maps, if the arena is present in the maps folder, it will also become nighttime.

Is it possible to copy the lighting object from the arena to avoid affecting all files? And is it even possible? I would try, but I don't have the editor on hand right now
