Well, here's my first map... I hope you won't be too critical! ;)

I started playing, and it seemed okay, but after 3 weeks, I suddenly ran into Angels. I thought there weren't many of them, but there were over a thousand, guarding the Angel Wings. And I hadn't saved, so I'll have to replay. By the way, I'm playing as a Necromancer, and Necromancers benefit from forested areas.

Many people provide links to specific files. On the website http://www.maps4heroes.com, I downloaded 81 maps yesterday! Although I haven't checked them yet :o
Do you think we just pull these maps out of thin air?

C:\Games\Hero5\Maps – this is the path to that folder. (It’s true for patch 1.4 and the expansion, but it’s the same in version 1.3 as well). If the folder doesn’t exist, it seems like the patch wasn’t installed correctly. What version does your game show?

My "Heroes" game is installed in C:\Program Files\Heroes of Might and Magic V, and there is no "Maps" folder there! The version is 1.3, and this is also indicated in the game... if the patch was installed incorrectly, then where are all the new maps that appeared after installing all the patches located???

On my laptop, I have the old version 1.0, and the maps are in the data folder:)

Original maps created by the developers are stored in the game files and are not accessible in the editor. I think he's referring to fan-made maps...

By the way, Maverick, launch the map editor, create a map (even just a simple clearing), and see where it suggests saving it...

Are we all telepaths here? You can click on three trees, close the editor, and the map won't be there. Or you can build the entire map and try to save it, it will give an error, and the map won't be there. Do you see the difference? Please provide more details. License, version, what exactly isn't working, etc.

If there's a desire to discuss something, why not move this topic from "Walkthrough" to "Mapmaking"? :confused:
And let's get into more detail about what problems you're having?

In short, I create decent maps, save them, but they don't appear in the game.

Go to the maps folder and check how much your maps weigh, then write it here. If everything is normal, here are two recommendations: 1) If your maps are for multiplayer, don't forget to check the box in the game next to the "multiplayer maps" option. 2) Look more carefully so you don't miss your maps. :D

Most likely, it works like this: when you save a map, a window pops up with "Untitled.h3m" - save. You save it, and that's it. You also need to give the map a name - "tools," - "map settings," - "name."

Here's another problem I'm having! I can create a map normally (I know how to do that), then I save it (I can save it normally, and I even gave the map a name), but it saves with a size of 1KB and, naturally, it doesn't load in the game! What should I do???:smile45: (The game version is 1.3 and 2.0).
