Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

The custom map won't launch. Is this related to one of the players not having a starting town?

No, it's not related. The map was probably packed incorrectly. Did you close the editor, or did it freeze on its own? If it froze, then the map was definitely not packed into an h5m archive.

I saved everything and closed the editor. I checked again in the editor: the map opens, the objects are in place, although their image quality seems to have decreased.

This will not affect the game. The blurriness can also be fixed: in this thread, Dyrman posted the d3d9.dll file, which, if copied to the bin folder, will eliminate this issue.

Thank you. And still, how do I open a map in the game?

She herself must appear.

Actually, I sometimes experience something similar, when I've just started creating a map, and through some kind of "magic," it eventually appears in the list. And it's possible that the absence of a town for one of the players could affect this. Accordingly, either add a town or change the victory conditions (remove death from prolonged homelessness or make other changes). I don't fully understand how this works, but I repeat, this "magic" has helped me personally.

Thank you, I will try.

Exactly! Ment is right. There should be two or more players!

I have two, and one starts without a town.

The map-tag.xdb file seems to be responsible for the map's visibility in the game. Is it included in the map archive (mapname.h5m\maps\SingleMissions or Multiplayer\mapname\map-tag.xdb)?

Yes, the file exists. But that's not what I'm talking about. The map is displayed in the list, but it's impossible to start it: the loading screen appears for a moment, and then it throws you back to the map list.

Wow, that’s a twist! In my case, it simply wasn’t showing up in the list…

Could this be related to one of the players not having a town?

I'm a bit doubtful... Well, give it a try!
