Isn't discussing vulnerabilities and flaws of the forum prohibited? )) It's a bit unusual, but reasonable.
Thanks again!)

your topic didn't help

I'll have to wait until I can reinstall the game

I should have known to manually enter the path) Everything is fine now.

Did you specify the xdb file in the editor?

In the editor, specify the file you added.

I can't figure out how to properly configure the Loading Screen Sound. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Ment, I heard you made music for a map. Could you share a sample if it's not too much trouble?

Even just having a "gnome theme" in my signature. I didn't create the music; I just embedded different music (in this case, I put a gnome theme from King's Bounty for the dungeons). It's not that difficult. In the advanced editor, you can select from the Music list and configure it similarly to the existing music.
Regarding the sounds, it's a bit more complicated. You need to work with exports, just like with creature models. If it's not necessary, I wouldn't bother.

Hello, I wanted to create my own map in Heroes 5. The editor itself is in English. But the problem is that when I save it, it doesn't appear in the game. And when I open it again through the same editor, an error message pops up. Once, I just placed some monsters (neutrals), only 2 units, and it immediately disappeared from the list. Can you explain what I might be doing wrong when saving, or if I need to change something in the settings?

The map file should have an English name, and the path to it should also be in Latin characters.

It doesn't help; it doesn't open the maps at all and gives an error.

Looks like I messed up with the paths.
When you open a map, it unpacks it into a path like this:
D:\GAMES\HMM5MP2\Editor\H5MMods\MapName

Did you move the game folder itself anywhere?

I don't remember anymore, I probably moved it around. Is there a way to correct the path?

Maybe, but not for everyone.
It's easier to reinstall the game, put the map in the Maps folder, and everything should work fine.

Hooray! =) Thanks, everything is fine. Just one more question, where are the map settings? Where do I need to write the description and name of the map?
