The map stopped launching in the map editor. (Again.) — Mapmaking

The issue is as follows: a ready-made map stopped launching after some changes (there were no scripts on the map, except for the seer's hut). The name and path to the map do not contain Cyrillic characters, and removing spaces from the name also did not help. The map size is 500MB. Reinstalling the game and shortening the path to the folder did not help either. The error when launching the map is: "Cant load" followed by the path to the map. I tried deleting files from the archive/map, but the archive is read-only. Files can be extracted from the archive, which means the map file is likely not corrupted. Please help!

500 MB? This poor game, with a map of only 40 MB, starts crashing every other time you try to load a save. It definitely needs to have most of the files moved into a separate .pak file and stored in the data folder. The "read-only" checkbox can be unchecked by right-clicking on the archive, opening "properties," and looking at the bottom of the window that appears.

The checkbox in the properties is not checked, but I still can't edit it.

Well, then we'll have to resort to restoration work. Go to the game's root folder/Editor/H5MMods. Find the folder with your map inside. Restore the map using the files from it.

The problem is that the folder was deleted after the latest changes. Is there a way to unpack the map archive, remove the problematic files from it, and then repack it? Because the map unpacks normally.

So, can you extract files from the archive or not?

And what if you want to place them on a different, newly created map?

Problem solved. Thank you! I moved the edited files to the archive of the new map, and everything worked. However, now the textures are missing in the Dungeon for some reason, even though I didn't delete anything related to the textures.
