Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

There was a small problem with my map, which I posted on this forum. When placing the map file in the maps folder ONCE, two identical maps appear in the game, and both work. Question: what causes this and how can it be fixed?

Just in case: here is a link to the map /topic/9473/

remove the extra file from the map archive – that should help ;)

Thank you, I followed your advice and the problem was solved!

I believe this question has already been asked, but reading 129 pages isn't a quick task. Could you please tell me how to edit a map created by the generator in Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Tribes of the East? After closing the editor, even if I just open the map, it starts weighing 1KB and becomes unusable. What should I do? I have Heroes Gold Edition, version Tribes of the East 3.0. Also, is there a way to open maps that are already included in the game for editing? Thank you for your answers.

The following question is very often repeated:
"After creating a map, I save it, but it starts weighing 1KB and doesn't appear in the game's list. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it?"
Answer:
"- First, make backup copies of the generated maps (the editor can sometimes simply delete them, and they may not be recoverable) - from the "Maps" folder of the installed game, where they are located, to any convenient location;
- then, in these generated maps/files, you need to adjust the name - remove all Cyrillic letters, for example, change ГСК and Собственный шаблон to RMG and Shablone (or any other combination of Latin letters or numbers, using Cyrillic characters destroys the map when saving, leaving only a name weighing 22 bytes).
- the path to the game must also contain only Latin letters!!!
By performing these simple steps, you can open the map created by ГСК and renamed by you in the editor and make changes to it without fear of self-destruction."

How do I remove the building limit so I can build all the buildings? The game says the maximum building level has been reached.

You can find an example of a task and script here in the FAQ. If you don't understand, feel free to ask.

Problem: when creating campaigns... the maps aren't recognized... before, I saw 3 out of 7 maps...
Let's say these maps are "a", "b", and "c".
So, I open the maps, and I have a list of maps "a", "b", and "c".
Then, in map "a", I noticed a flaw and decided to fix it... I opened the editor, opened the map, fixed it, saved it, and then I noticed that I now have only TWO MAPS to choose from... maps "b" and "c"...
Then, just out of curiosity, I added an object to map "b"... saved it... and it also disappeared from the list... only map "c" remained... I changed it, and it disappeared too... now there's just a blank space...
I remember that I'm not the only one with this problem...
If needed, I can send photos.
