Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

Good afternoon! I want to create a dynamic battle where each creature has 90 seconds per turn, and the hero has an unlimited amount of time per turn. However, I can't implement this with a mod – if the battle is dynamic, I can't set an unlimited time for the hero's turn; the maximum is 200 seconds. Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Help me with the Prophet's Hut. I want to create a quest: build a town to level 20, and the reward will be 30,000 experience points, and 10 of each resource and 10,000 gold.

How do you create a descent from an elevation in the Raise tab or a descent into water?

A Ramp is needed, meaning a way to launch something.

Could you please advise? I want to create water. I click on the "Water" tab, and for some reason, the water takes on the color of the ground, instead of being blue. That is, it's transparent; if the ground is green, the water is green, and if the ground is white from snow, the water is also white. When I use "Rivers," the water is blue, but I don't like that concept because it doesn't have waves. And when I edit maps with water, the water is blue and not transparent.

I don't know... Often, river water is layered on top of seawater, which changes its color and may create waves (although I haven't paid much attention to that).
Or you can use seawater and try to find the right color for the seabed.

More questions: 1. I'm editing the map "Key to Victory", adding a dungeon to it, but there's no skybox in the dungeon. How do I add one? 2. Is there a skybox specifically for a dwarven dungeon?

Hello! Please help me with the following problem: after I enter the map editor (Heroes of Might and Magic 5 - Orcs) and move the camera, all the textures in the dungeon change to the lowest graphics setting. This happens on the same map and only in the editor. It didn't happen right away. The map is about 75% complete, and because of this bug, I can't finish it, and closing the dungeon isn't ideal either – it throws off the balance. I'm waiting for help. Thanks in advance!

Try adding a file from this archive to the bin folder. It helped me.

Could you please provide more information? I want to create water, I click on the Water tab, and for some reason, the water is the same color as the ground, instead of being blue.

In the map properties tree, change Reflective Water, or something similar.

I sincerely apologize – is this a response to my question, or not?

Of course, yes, it’s right after your message.

Is it possible to place a random level 30 hero with an artifact into the Dungeon?
Is it possible to place a specific artifact, rather than a random one, into the Tomb of the Forgotten Hero?

Both can be done with scripts. Without them, I don't think it's possible. At the same time, for the first case, there are two implementation options: 1) give experience to a regular random hero upon liberation 2) place several heroes in reserve, then display a random one, but this involves too much work.

Is it possible to edit the effect of a hero's basic specializations using the map editor (or even without it)? I simply wanted to "upgrade" the Necromancer Orson's specialization so that, in addition to the usual increase in defense and attack, the zombies would also receive an increase in speed and initiative of +1 for every ten levels of the hero. The only thing I managed to find was the zombie_leader.xdb file in the game's resources, which contains the specialization description files, icon, and name, but there is no indication of the actual effect. I would be grateful for any help.
