During the direct editing of missions, a problem arose with the scripts. I was going to study them based on the scripts of existing missions, but it turned out that it wasn't that simple. Is there any guide that explains how to work with scripts, where to start writing them, etc.?

Moderated: OFF-TOPIC in message

I would like to apologize again to those who were offended by this comparison. It was exaggerated specifically based on a strong surprise – I didn't think that anyone needed this game now, especially on a forum dedicated to Heroes 5. As it turned out later, not everything is so simple; there are many people who are satisfied with such games, and they still look complete.

You need to be more careful when communicating.

Of course, they exist. There are several threads about scripts on the forum, and there are a couple of materials related to them in the game folders, such as an official manual, but it's not very user-friendly and it's in English. There's also an alternative version by the author of the famous "Path of the Hero," and there's a program for conveniently writing scripts. In principle, all of this should be here, as the topic of scripts has always been popular.

Ugh, I'll keep looking.

Reading the messages in this thread, you come to the conclusion that some of them adhere to one principle:
"Sometimes it doesn't matter how good an orator you are when you have a bucket and a fan as allies."

P.S. Best of luck to the author with the new project!

Unfortunately, I spent my entire vacation trying to find a scripting guide written in clear, understandable language, rather than just a list of functions without instructions on how to use them. I'm afraid I won't be able to implement many of my ideas.

Is the mod dead?

ForRest Ray, have you checked out Ogo-i's scripting guide? You can find it by searching for "Heroes 5 scripting for beginners." I also recommend checking out the files in the m.vk.com/h5mmmapeditors group; there's a lot of useful material on this topic.

I also recommend the video series by Remix and Evgeny Nazarov: https://youtu.be/M5_ND_yeSLk

It seems the music didn't play for very long. Only until the first major obstacle.

Don't gloat.

Try starting with something simpler; there's no need to jump into the deep end right away. You've listed a lot of things, but you don't have to dive into scripting immediately.

I didn't get to NCF, NAF, NHCF, and the like right away... I started with simple things, and then one thing led to another =)
Don't get discouraged; this path has never been easy 😉

Well, I partially agree with him.

You can start by banning upgrades in cities – this can be done without scripts.

Or, for example, I mentioned the bug with the animations of the knights; there is probably an error in the order of animations being disrupted by the new movements from the expansion. You could try swapping their positions in the animset file.

And you can find a more decent avatar. It might seem like we have a bunch of trolls and hecklers here, but we used to communicate like civilized people, even addressing each other formally, and swearing is prohibited by the forum rules. Please change your avatar, or I'm afraid you'll get banned, like that guy with the Hitler-Pikachu avatar.

You won't be able to master it right away, but gradually, starting with simple scripts, you will achieve results, especially when comparing them with the scripts of the original missions.
