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

The possible solutions are: either the game version is incorrect (a special patch 3.1 is needed for the "Boots" version), or it's simply a non-licensed copy...

The options are as follows: either the game version is incorrect (a special patch 3.1 is required for the Book of Bukov), or it is simply not a licensed copy...

Another possible scenario is that Windows was reinstalled after reinstalling Heroes.

It's not related to the topic, but I'll ask (I didn't find it in the mods). In which file is the number of creatures (when hiring) in the "Refugee Camp" specified? I.e., for example, so that there are not 2 Rakshasa princesses, but 5 (any changed number). I searched everywhere, but didn't find it (or I didn't see it, which is more likely).
Thank you in advance.

This is the base creature increase; it is taken from the game, not from the mod itself.

I mean, for example, to change it so that there are not 2 Rakshasa Princesses, but 5 (any changed number). I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find it (or I didn't see it, which is more likely).

This has already been discussed, and I believe the most effective way is to create a city (mechanically), give it the model of a Refugee Camp, load the Refugee Camp interface, and then use a script to increase the growth rate as in a city using SetObjectDwellingCreatures.

Question/thought: Why go to such lengths when you can achieve the same result by simply disabling the object (plus a script, of course)?

I have the Gold Edition, so it shouldn't be the Buka version. As for the system... I think I reinstalled it...

Yes, it's much simpler:smile12:, but we don't seek the easy way:smile13:.

help, anyone!!! :smile05: How do I turn a campaign map into a regular map?

If it's a user-created map, then there's nothing to do: all the missions can be played separately, and they are located in the single-player game -> scenarios. If it's a developer-created campaign, then you need to do a little work with the resources.

No, I meant in the editor... I was making a regular map, but I accidentally turned it into a campaign. How do I change it back?

:D Another one...
Basically, open your map with a regular archiver (like WinRar), and delete everything unnecessary (the map should only contain the Maps folder, if it's your map and doesn't use mods). You might also need to adjust the paths in the .xdb files. :)
If you can't figure it out, send it to me in a private message, and we'll sort it out :smile33:

PlayObjectAnimation('monster name', 'attack00' (or another animation), IDLE);
Or, if synchronization is needed, use this command in an infinite while loop with a sleep function, and instead of IDLE, write ONESHOT_STILL.
