Maybe he's asking about low quality textures? Seriously I did not expect they can be THAT low 
Al in all, you could ask some PRECISE questions so we could understand what is your problem.

I take it that you have tried to adjust the video options under the Options menu? I tried setting my options to the minimum and still could not get this low quality image. I think the problem is in your graphics card or the version of DirectX you are using. But you really should try changed the video settings under the Options menu.
As I recall, when I installed H5 on my wife's Vista machine, I had to install DirectX 9.n in order to get it to run the game correctly because DirectX 10 didn't work right. Again, I think DirectX 9.n came on the game disk. It didn't seem to hurt anything in Vista when I installed DirectX 9.n, but I am not an expert on Vista.
I haven't tried the H5 Editor on her machine. I will do that the next free moment I have and let you know what happens. I must add that we are running TotE, not the earlier versions of H5 on her machine.

Uh, question. I want to make a trigger that triggers when my hero flees from a battle (any battle). So that I can restore him just next to the place of the battle, as to make it look like he flew from the battle and is now situated near the site of the battle. Thats a lot of "battle"...
But what triggerfunction, or what it's called, triggers when a hero flees? I mean, on the scripting page, what should I write: Trigger( SOMETHINGSOMETHINGSOMETHING, (heroname), (function to trigger)). What something should it be?

By the way, Misokiller, my big brother had the same problem with the texture, I think (I am quite sure) it was because of Vista, yes. But interestingly, it was only in Hammers of Fate he had the problem... So maybe if you install something, like ToE or HoF it will work. Because it worked for my brother in normal HOMM 5.

I have a hunch that it cannot be done. If it can be done, I doubt that there is an easy answer. You might try experimenting with the ToE functions:
* ["../GetSavedCombatResult"]
* ["../GetSavedCombatArmyPlayer"]
* ["../GetSavedCombatArmyHero"]
* ["../GetSavedCombatArmyCreaturesCount"]
* ["../GetSavedCombatArmyCreatureInfo"]
It will take a lot of experimenting I think. But it might be worth it. This is an interesting idea, very creative, and it would be fun to have in a map. Keep us posted if you come up with anything.

Be sure to download and study the:
Quote:
The Basics of Heroes V Scripting ver. 2.0 for H5, HOF, & ToTE
from the CH web site:
http://www.celestialheavens.com/viewpage.php?id=567
You won't be able to do much scripting without it. And, be sure to enable the developer's console, as detailed in the guide. (There is a small file name error in the instructions in the guide, but you can easily figure it out.) Ask here if you have problems.

My wife is using Vista for H5 on her computer. She has good textures. However, when I installed H5 on her machine, I also installed DirectX 9.0 on her machine. It was a long time ago, but I think the H5 game disk has DirectX 9.0 on it and it is an easy install that does not affect Vista in any way that I can see. I believe that you need DirectX 9.0 in order to run H5 correctly on Vista.

I downloaded the map editor-file for the third mission of the dwarfs campaign in HoF, because i knew there were such brigdes there. I examined one of the brigdes, and I found that they have not lowered the floor. Its more like they made it invisible or something. I dont think its a specific skin for the ground (like invisible skin - which would be cool), because it says, in the bar under the screen showinh x/y-coordinates and whatnot, that it is "dwarven floor". And I tried re-skinning it, and it changed to "floor_lava", but there was no visible change. The only thing that made it change appearance, was making a river in it; the water/lava/bog was clearly visible.
The bridge itself doesn't float, which is impossible in the editor; it lies fast on the invisible floor.
You can study it yourself, the map editor-file is available from http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/original_maps.shtml.

Hmm, Imight have got a clue to the bridge-thing. They use an object called "walldown" for the sides of the "hole" that you use for such a bridge. This object hides the ground that it sorrounds so it looks like a hole.
I can't find the object in the editor though! 
Neither the bridge, for the sake of that matter...
Maybe its kinda developers only-objects! 
Hmm, maybe you can copy the objects in the campaign map, then open your own map and paste them.

First of all, thanks for the info! I didn't knew it was possible to use the original map pack.
The copy-and-paste method works well. the only problem is that you have to copy and paste each wall individually to get them into another map. Also, the normal bridge tiles used in the standard object set dont work, you have to use the ones form the original Ubisoft maps. I'm using the multiplayer map "a survival war" from the TotE map set to copy the objects.
Edit: If you know where Markal is already preset, you could copy & paste him. I woudn't know any other methods, if there are any.
I don't know about Markal, but the underground bridge objects and the underground walls for the down areas can be added to the editor. Franzy has kindly provided the necessary files for downloading the "FullEditor mod here: http://rapidshare.com/files/122099913/FullEditor.zip.html
