Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor. Auto-translated

The question is indirectly related to the editor, but still...
Does anyone still play Heroes of Might and Magic V? Is it worth creating new maps?

Guys, please help!
I created a simple map in the editor for three players, without a dungeon. I saved it, and no errors appeared. But for some reason, my map doesn't show up in the game! How can I play it?

The most obvious reason, in my opinion: You accidentally forgot to assign ownership to the cities.

Does anyone still play Heroes 5? Is it worth making new maps?

Of course, there are!

Several complex questions have arisen.
1. How can I make sure that my own music (pre-added to the map) plays in the video? And during battles? I read the answers in the thread about "Export" / "Import," but I don't understand how to use them.
2. Is it possible to create a custom battle arena?

1. Create a Sound file, and in SrcName, specify the desired sound (it's best to create a folder beforehand for such sounds and other files, for example, "Complete"). Right-click on the sound and select Export. It will take a few seconds, and you're done. 2. Perhaps, although I've never done it, the existing arenas were sufficient. Otherwise, mark SelectTables AdvantureFlybyScene->Scenes/CombatArenas, and you can create your own!

1. In MapPropertiesThree? If not, what format should the Sound be? Can the Complete folder be placed in the map?
2. Thank you :).

1. In the advanced editor, go to the Sound tab. You don't need to place the Complete folder in the map; the trick is that the game itself should place what it needs where it needs to. Doing it manually, if even possible, is extremely difficult; I couldn't manage it.

1. Do I also need to check the box in SelectTables? And how do I save the sound when posting a map on the forum?

No way. The editor will insert it into the map as a file with a name like YGBD-47NJ-JKFL-2NJD and somehow link it using some kind of arcane method.

So, there will still be sound in the map? Great! Thanks for the help, I'll give it a try.

That means it will be, otherwise what’s the point? :)

I still think that the reason isn't that the city affiliation wasn't set (the editor would have warned about this when saving the map, but I don't think it affects the map's functionality, as it will just have the standard task "capture any city within a week"), but rather that in the map selection section, you need to check the corresponding box (tick) - "GSC maps" or "single-player" - then the entire list of available maps will be displayed.

Great, the music worked out. Is it necessary to put the file in the "Music" folder? Can the path be specified through the map?

No, unfortunately, music cannot be included in mods like sounds; it can only be stored in external folders.

Well, it looks like I'll have to put the music in the corresponding folder.

The editor doesn't open arenas :(. Moreover, when creating a new one, it immediately disappears from the list as soon as you load any map in the editor. Ideally, there should be a way to interact with arenas, as they are available in the video editor. Ment, do you know where they are stored? Maybe they can be opened as a regular map?

Another question, which becomes irrelevant if the answer is negative. Is it possible to specify a particular arena when fighting a specific hero? And to play a specific melody?

So, arenas need to be created within the map. Or were you already doing that? If so, don't worry about anything disappearing; it should still be inside the archive.
I haven't created arenas myself, to be honest, but I opened them in the editor without any problems to find what I needed. By the way, you can try that too if you don't have the goal of creating something completely original.
Regarding storage: obviously, it's in data.pak, in the same path as in the editor. Scenes/blah-blah-blah.

Another question, which loses its meaning if the answer is negative. Can you specify a particular arena when fighting a specific hero? And can you play a specific melody?

1) Of course, the manual about StartCombat has everything written about this.
2) I think I saw a parameter for the arenas themselves that sets the music. Just in case, I'll check.

Yes, that's right, there is a Music parameter. But for some reason, the developers don't use it, so it's not certain that it works.
