To generate random maps in SoD, you either need to set it to AB mode or create "zero files" (empty files) in the root folder of the game - h3blade.exe, and in the DATA subfolder - h3ab_ahd.snd, h3ab_ahd.vid, h3ab_bmp.lod, h3ab_spr.lod.

I have Heroes 3 SoD. There is no random map function. I've already memorized all the maps (it's actually disgusting). Please tell me if there is some way to patch it so that this function appears? Or let me know where I can download maps...:smile07:

Could you provide the full name of the game? BoD?? I don't know that one. There's The Restoration of Erathia, Armageddon's Blade, and The Shadow of Death, but none of them match your abbreviation. It's possible you have a pirated copy, and in that case, it probably won't be possible to patch it.

The game from Buka is not a pirated copy, and it's not Bod or SoD (typo)

so that the Conflux heroes could dig and it would be possible to create random maps... there you need to create 4 files... I don't remember their names, though... I definitely remember that one file needs to be placed in the data folder, and the rest in the game folder itself.
One file in the game folder is called "h3blade.exe"
I'll remember the rest and let you know.

Just install "The Shadow of Death" in the same folder as "Armageddon's Blade," and you'll get random maps. (That's how I have it set up.)

Hmm... I don't have Armageddon's Blade. Just The Shadow of Death, and that's it...

Here's the program; just extract it into the folder where your Heroes game is located and run it. After that, in the editor, click "new," then "create a random map," choose the desired settings, save it, and you're ready to play.

Could you please explain what zero files are and how to create them?

To create a "zero" file, h3blade.exe, you can, for example, create a text document (Notepad) and name it h3blade.exe.

It says it there... But how do you create these "clean files"?

I created a bunch of these files, but nothing changed...

There's a nuance: if the extension isn't displayed (for example, in the file explorer), changing the name with a dot won't change the file type – it will remain a text file. Pay attention to this. You must change the file extension.

Doesn't anyone care about my problem? :C

Regarding creating a random map using the editor – it's very tedious... It involves creating a specific castle, and, as you can imagine, I don't really want to spend time on that.
