Posts from TEAR OF ASHI (Grail) Auto-translated

In the updated patch 3.1, there's an option to generate a map with the Tear of Ashera, but the problem is that as soon as you unearth the Grail, you automatically win the map... Is there a patch that disables this ridiculous victory condition? It would be much more interesting for me to bring the Tear to a city, as I'm playing against the computer on Hero difficulty, and the Tear would be very useful. Any suggestions? :smile45:

When creating a map, you need to set up a mission for the main quest; when you complete it, the game ends. You just need to change the parameters of the main quest, and that's it.

And here is a link to this forum, where it says how to do it: /topic/2788/. Good luck, mapmaker.

Sorry, maybe I'm a newbie, but I couldn't find how to set up a quest in the editor... ;(

In Heroes 3, it was much simpler... And even though I downloaded the Russian localization for Heroes 5, the skill tree is still in English. I don't really need to mess around with quests; I just want to play on a generated map where I can build the Tear of Ascha and the quest remains the same: defeat everyone. That's all.
Please give me instructions for a newbie: where to go and what checkbox to tick or change: o

Jazz_Hunter, here is a screenshot showing what needs to be changed in the editor.

The objective of the quest is marked in red: find and build the Ash's Tear in the city. Find this quest in Objectives, and change InstantVictory to false (outlined in green).

Thanks, buddy! ;) I figured it out. The only thing is, when I save the changes to the map, everything is fine. But when I save the same map under a different name in the maps folder, the map appears there, but it's not in the game's map selection. For example, I opened a map I generated, called "Heroes 3," made changes, and saved it under a different name... (Heroes1111). As a result, the new map wasn't visible in the game. But when I just made changes and saved it under the original name, the map was there, and the changes were applied ;) although the map list still showed the objective as "find the Tear of Ascha," which initially scared me, making me think my efforts were in vain. But after I brought the Tear to the city, the mission didn't end ;) which I was very happy about ;) and I realized that your advice worked, so thank you very much for that ;) So, is it possible to give a map a name yourself and create your own map based on a generated one, and if so, how do you do it? :cool:

Yes, it can be done; everything is edited. It didn't appear (if I understand correctly) because of a name collision in the game.

You can either give names yourself or rename already generated maps – just use Latin characters and/or numbers for this. When saving the changes made to the generated maps, their status changes – therefore, you need to check the boxes in both the GSC section and the multiplayer section so that they appear in the list.
