Posts from All questions regarding the GSC.

I have the gold edition, but GSC for some reason doesn't load the maps. I wait for about 20 minutes, and the map still doesn't load. Why is that?

What is meant by "doesn't load"? Are the maps created, but you can't play them? Or are they not created at all?

They simply aren't created.

I can't immediately say what the problem might be, honestly… If anything, there’s an external GSC; the maps aren’t as beautiful there, but at least it doesn’t have some glitches (mostly related to guards). In general, it might be useful for you: /topic/8845/

Okay, thanks anyway.

Is there anywhere I can download an improved GSC?

The topic of editing a map created in the Heroes of Might and Magic V (v 3.1) game creation kit (GCK) to add alliances/teams (for online play) is relevant. Thank you to the forum for providing a solution. :smile17: Here's a brief overview of the problem: I'll immediately state that the game is located in "M:\G\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\", and the map has a name that starts with "litinitsa" plus some numbers. This is important. After creating the map in the GCK, we go to the map editor. We configure the alliances, save the map, and the editor displays the message: "As you've changed this map, rmg marker will be lost and multiplayer regeneration won't work." If we enter online play, we will find the configured alliances on this map + 2 players that we didn't set up (for example, if the map was created for 4 players, there will be 6 in the end. If for 8, there will be 10 :) ), and they will have a team number "6684705". When trying to interact with them, the game crashes. Solution:

Actually, this isn't entirely correct. There are other editors, and in this case, WinRAR will be useful. The map file can actually be opened with an archiver; inside, there will be a file called map.xdb (although there is another file with a similar name, it might be needed, I don't remember). You need to open it with Notepad, and inside the file, you need to find the word "team" and edit the tags that follow it.

Specifically: Immediately after creating the map in the GCK, open it not in the map editor, but with WinRAR. Find the "map.xdb" file inside and open it with Notepad. Search for the word "team". It will find the first match here:

        ...
        true
        0
  (!!!) false (!!!)
        
		
         ...

Instead of "false", the value should be true. After that, search for the word "team" again. The next match will be:

...
       
			
			
			true
	  (!!!) 0 (!!!)
			true
			true
			PB_RANDOM
			0
			
			true
			
			
				
					
				
			
			
				
					
				
			
			
			
			TOWN_NO_TYPE
			PCOLOR_NEUTRAL
			true
			
			PLAYER_BONUS_RANDOM
			true
			
				
				
				
			
			
		
            ...

This code block will be repeated 8 times (for 8 players: the first is red; the second is blue; etc.). The number indicates the alliance team number. Set it to "1", "2", etc. Save, update the archive (it will ask you to). Play! Personally tested! Thank you to those who responded, you are amazing! :D

Could you please tell me where I can download GSC templates and how to use them?

Could you tell me where I can download templates for GSC and how to use them?

Topic with templates
Instructions on how to use them can be found inside the archive, as stated in the topic.

Thank you very much.

We wanted to play a cooperative game with a friend, but after editing, all players end up on the same team. How can we fix this? Thank you in advance.

In the map editor, under "map properties," there is a tab called "teams." You need to set the radio buttons to the desired positions.

Hello. I wanted to play on a HotS map. I encountered a problem when I found out that the HotS maps created by me (any, from modified ones to those completely created by the generator) do not work on my opponent's computer. Specifically, when trying to load them, both in multiplayer and in single-player, the map loads, but without terrain, and for a split second, and then the game crashes and closes. At the same time, in the editor, you can work with the map normally, but the map still has no terrain. Can you tell me what the problem is?

The files GroundTerrain.bin and UnderGroubd.bin are responsible for the terrain. Apparently, one of them is corrupted, and the map editor breaks it during map packaging.

However, the maps open and work normally on my editor and in my game. I even reinstalled the game and then installed a completely different version, and they still work. For some reason, this problem only occurs on my friend's computer.
