How can I make the editor recognize a shipyard built in a town?
I place a town, surround it with water, and build a shipyard, but then, no matter what I click on in the town, the green dot indicating the shipyard's location doesn't appear. It worked with the first town.
Is there a simple function that triggers the search for a shipyard location, or will I have to manually specify the "ship tile"?

Whatever

You need to place the town closer to the water. If that doesn't work, enter the coordinates in the ship tile, but remember: these are coordinates relative to the town.

Okay, the thing is that for some reason, the "specific towns," like Haven, Necropolis, and the Orcs, handle the shipyard perfectly, but the Academy doesn't behave well. I'll have to configure it manually...

If you move the city, the hand-drawn spike tile will reset. So, if you created it manually, don't move the city.

Can anyone help me? I haven't worked with creating campaigns before, but I understood everything except for one thing. Why, when I'm creating a campaign and want to choose a map, is it not in the list? I mean, I can add several maps to a campaign, but the ones I need aren't in the list.

Whatever

I don't know what could be causing this. I create campaign files manually. It's better that way. There are many limitations when creating campaigns using the editor (you can't have more than 5 missions, you can't have more than 5 heroes, you can't create 2 bonuses, you can't choose music for campaign missions).

How do you embed your own music into a map-scenario so that it also plays for other people?

manually – i.e., create a campaign file in the editor, and then modify it using Notepad or another program?

In this case, you don't even need to use the editor. Just copy the contents of one of the developer's campaign files into \UserCampaigns\CampaignName\campaign.xdb, edit what needs to be changed, and archive it.

Gentlemen! A problem has arisen: during the map creation process (and it's especially frustrating because it happened near the end), the dungeon disappeared. That is, if you click the "show dungeon" button, you only see the objects. There are no walls or floors. Instead, there's only the sky texture. If you launch the map in the game, the dungeon is normal, but in the editor, it still lacks walls and floors. Also, if you try to paint the missing ground with any type of soil, the editor crashes. Why could this have happened, and is there anything that can be done about it?

It seems like your editor is malfunctioning. Copy the map somewhere and reinstall the game. If nothing changes, write here.

How do you add your own music to a map scenario so that it also plays for other people?

If you need background music specifically, then:
in the root folder, there is a folder called music\AdvMapTerrain; put your music there (ogg format). Then, in MapPropertiesTree: go to the music tab, click [...], and you'll see a list: Dirt, Grass, etc. In each of these, the Name field indicates the music that will play in a particular terrain. If you want the music to play all the time, add it to all of them. However, this will affect all other maps.
