Ahhhh... finally found the right section of the forum, even if it is dead. I'm sure this topic has been covered but I still can't find an answer... and sry for making a dead forum pop back to life.

Does anyone know how to switch a single player map to multiplayer when it's nearly finished?? I've been tinkering with it for a month now, my map has been put on hold... my only resort is to ask the community.

Even if this is not possible, can someone let me know? My poor mind has been boggled for too long

I tried switching the NameFileRef in the map properties tree from SingleMissions to Multiplayer, but it won't change... Perhaps I'm on the right track though? I don't know..

Hopefully I don't get hated for askin a toughie like this, but I've put 3 months into my map... i don't wanna redo it

UPDATE: I've now tried direct file editting with Notepad, and I think I might be onto something... in notepad, you are able to change every value that says 'SingleMissions' to 'Multiplayer' which you can't in the editor. However, even if you don't change any values, as soon as you save with notepad the map becomes corrupted... Thusly, is you open it with map editor it crashes, and it crashes Heroes 5 as soon as you open it (thank god I backed up the map). Maybe this can help someone help me? Perhaps there is a program that won't corrupt the file when it is saved?

Another update: It seems Wordpad doesn't corrupt the file when saved like Notepad does, but after changing the values the map is still unplayable and unable to be opened by the editor. Crap, here I thought I'd done it

Scratch that, it corrupts the file when a value is changed rather then just being saved

Hi,I have a problem of how to get some special heroes into the map editor, such as Shadya,who doesnt appear on the special hero list.

I know there is a way of put any hero on the map and choose the shared property to make a change, but it will make the hero you changed disappear and add a mod to the map.so is there a better idea?

thanks a lot.

AdvMapHeroShared:MapObjects\Dungeon\Kelodin.(AdvMapHeroShared)

This is the path for Shadya. Copy&Paste it in the Properties Tree next to 'Shared', where the 3 ... are.

Hope that helps

Campaign heroes

Hallo,

I played a self made map with campaign heroes, but when I retreat in battle I can't recruit them again in the tavern. Can something be done about that?

Thanks

Hi! I'm making a campaign (nothing special) and I ran into a problem that I am unable to solve. When I am adding maps to my campaign, some of the maps are not shown (I created all of those maps in the same way). Maps are Single scenarios, so that is not the problem. What could cause this?

I had this same thing happen to me. Just make a campaign and then open the archive and edit the xdb file.  Thats how I got around it.

I am having a problem with Dialog Scenes.  

1) First I create a Dialog scene and can edit and play it fine.

2) I create a second dialog scene with a new object name and file.

3) After I close the form I can no longer view or edit my first dialog scene.  Its not in the list but my second one is there.  I can still play the first dialog scene but I can't edit or view it anymore in the editor.

White Clouds in Map Editor ?

Hi !

On a custom map, I found some white clouds as you can see on the picture below.


Does anyone know how to create these clouds in the Map Editor ? I didn't find any "clouds" object.

Thx for your help.

It's an effect. I'm pretty sure he used the clouds of the Cloud Temple. To get it, make a new Object and give it this effect:
Effect:Effects\_(Effect)\Towns\Academy\CloudTemple_G

and this for the Upgrade:
Effect:Effects\_(Effect)\Towns\Academy\CloudTemple_G (2)

You can use the clouds of the spellshop as well, in my opinion they work better.
Oh, and you really shouldn't let it be with white clouds. Change textures and you'll get really cool clouds:





btw, how is the map called ?

Combat animation on the world map

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make it so that some of the monsters do their "combat animation" on the map while playing.  I have a general idea of how to do it, but do not know the script to make it happen.

Please help!
