Posts from Converting maps from WOG to SOD.

Hello!!! I have a question about Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death. I want to change the map version from WoG to any other, but I can’t seem to check the box to do so. I’ve downloaded other editors, but it’s the same problem. I have Windows 7, 64-bit, and not all editors work. Can you tell me how to change it so I can play without WoG? I was able to play this map normally on SoD (although it had a WoG artifact market, I removed it, but it still didn’t help), and I decided to add a town portal. I added it to my hero, saved it, and now it doesn’t recognize it, and I can’t change the version. Please help.

1. If there are no WoG objects on the map, you can change the map format from WoG to SoD using the Maptool utility.
2. If you are creating your own maps or editing existing ones (not WoG maps), it is best to use the SoD map editor. If you have WoG installed, both editors should be in the "Heroes" folder:
SoD editor - h3maped.exe,
WoG editor - h3wmaped.exe.
Accordingly, there are also 2 campaign editors.
And just in case: SoD is launched with Heroes3.exe, and WoG is launched with h3wog.exe. However, nowadays almost everyone uses the HD mod – then the mod's executable, HD3Launch.exe, is launched.

Now it's a bit clearer. I was editing using H3WMAPED, but h3maped doesn't launch, which I suspect is due to Windows 7 64-bit. I also downloaded Maptool, but it either doesn't launch due to the system (it closes automatically) or it's the old version. I tried searching for a version for 64-bit, but I couldn't find it. Could you please tell me where I can find Maptool for my system? I still don't understand why H3WMAPED launches, but h3maped doesn't.

Then let's try some other options: 1. You can try using the standalone SoD/WoG editor. It simply unpacks into a separate folder and is launched from there. Open the map, click "Save As...", and in the "File Type" field, select "Heroes 3 SoD map file". The map must be completely free of WoG objects! 2. If the standalone editor doesn't work for you either, attach the map you need to the message: I can convert it and attach the result to my reply. But only once, otherwise...

I've already downloaded this program, but I still can't get it to work. Here's the map; it doesn't seem to have any Haven-related quirks, but it's worth checking just in case.

Here is your Shades of Darkness version:

Thank you very much, I made a mistake myself, but I've already figured it out!
