That's strange, I could make it work by extracting the files from the "music" folder, but it only worked intermittently. I don't know what's going on or why it's happening.
I don't even know. The thing is that the "music" folder actually contains music, not sounds, and they work differently.

Okay, and is there a way to disable the background music when using Play2DSound, or how can I do it with a mod? I just need a specific piece of music to play on the entire map and no other music.

Sure, you can remove it using a mod. In the advanced editor, go to the "music" resources tab and replace all the links in "AdvMapTerrain" with empty links. If you have any heroes on your map with their own music, do the same for them. But in my opinion, it's easier to simply replace those links with links to your track.

Hmm, will this affect all other maps as well?

That's exactly what I did, but instead of an empty path, I specified the path to my own file from the music folder. My music file is in .ogg format (a custom file, not from the game). As I said, it works intermittently – sometimes the music plays, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to find any pattern, and I haven't really delved into it.

Well, this method should always work, but it applies specifically to music, not sounds.

So, I inserted an ogg file into the map, specified all the links to it, and there's silence...
Yes, and it seems to only affect one map. I opened another one, went to the music tab, and all the links are in place there.

You won't see anything in the editor; if you have many map mods during the game, they will interfere with each other. The ogg file is not inserted into the map, but into the music folder.

And where is this folder?
In data.pak, there is a _(Music) folder in the Sounds folder, but it only contains xdb files.
I'm using Play2DSound, and nothing is written in the console; there is still silence. Does it need an xdb file as a sound or music file?

Something like C:\Program files\Nival Interactive[like Heroes 5]\music

It's located where your game is installed. It's not an archive.

It's located in the directory where you installed the game. It's not an archive.
Oh, I found it! Thanks!!

I downloaded update 3.1 for Heroes, and during installation, it says that the game is not installed. Please help me figure this out.

It’s a bit off-topic, but I'll ask here (I couldn't find it in the mods). In which file is the number of creatures (when hiring) specified in "Refugee Camp"? That is, for example, so that there are not 2 Rakshasa Princesses, but 5 (any changed number). I searched everywhere and didn't find it (or maybe I just missed it, which is more likely).
Thank you in advance.

There seems to be a special thread:

Try searching there; maybe you'll find something
