The base package in the opening post has been updated to this version, 1.14.
[+] Added Enable/Disable All buttons to the following dialogs:
Hero Properties' Spells
Prison Properties' Spells
Hero Identity Properties' Spells
Map Specifications' Heroes
Note: does not disable heroes already present on the map
Map Specifications' Artifacts
Note: Disable All leaves "Admiral's Hat" as available as a minimum of 1 artifact is required
Map Specifications' Spells
Map Specifications' Secondary Skills
[+] Added customize all heroes' availability button to Map Specifications' Heroes tab
[+] You can now remove all available Spells from Map Properties (there was a minimum of 1 by level)
[+] Updated for SoD_SP version 1.18.0
[+] *.msg files are no longer required, now the editor will read *.msk files just like the heroes3 engine
Note: cleaned all LOD archives of msg files and optimized their size
[+] Added option to match minimap darkening of objects to match game or hdmod (see documentation)
[-] Fixed the experience combobox width of Random Heroes
[-] Fixed a bug with saving of SoD_SP options and features
I have added the requested Enable/Disable All buttons to all relevant dialogs I could think of. All of these buttons will modify properties so that you can undo/redo the changes.
Heroes in the Map specifications also have an extra button, called 'Customize'.
Clicking this button opens up the following dialog:
It sets the 'May be hired by' properties of ALL heroes. The Human and Computer buttons will toggle the checkboxes as they suggest they will.
Finally, here is an overview of items that result in darkened pixels in the minimap; notice the discrepancies between the mapeditor and base game. You can read more about this in the Documentation folder. For mapmakers to get the colors they expect, they should limit themselves to object IDs [116 - 160]. ____________

[-] Fixed Enable/Disable all buttons presence in RoE/AB versions
[-] Actually included correct DLL version
[ ] Updated Version Information (About mapeditor)
So umm yea, I didn't include the correct DLL version in the last release, nor in the base package; thanks Biobob for notifying me.
I have a suggestion for v1.16: shift+click on map tile, and display the actual battlefield in battlefield_explorer.
I just added the capability, a very basic HTTP server which listens on localhost port 7777 for specific messages, and changes the displayed battlefield accordingly.

Also thanks to Biobob, [url=https://mega.nz/#!kIkkXQhR!5P2keRtV-_KB_0gaG0eyVlzXTkKV81mhgg0vJdIsw8k]here are clean SoD LODs that do not contain any wog objects[/url].
You can simply overwrite your original LODs, back them up as needed.

This editor is very useful, especially for RPG style maps.
Here are some interesting effects:
Glad to hear, although to be fair this particular functionality was created by GrayFace long ago.
Youtube embedding on the forum can be a bit wonky especially in the era of Flash being blocked by default, I tend to get best result with a direct link to video within the swf tags.
[swf width=426 height=344]youtube.com/v/be62_wwUrDk[/swf] [or whatever video id is]
[+] Updated for SoD_SP version 1.18.1
[-] Fixed a bug with extended object palette column that could result in unused height beind added
[ ] Reworked SoD_SP Options Dialog's scrollbar
Confirmed the buggy arrows, I'll fix it for next release.
Cannot reproduce the tooltip bug. All tooltips are created with the same code; no idea why this one in particular would behave this way.

[ ] 'List of Changes' renamed 'Changelog'
TL;DR: Unleashed is now compatible with EraEditor
Base packages are getting updated due to the new exe being used. If you're already on 1.16, the link in this post should be enough.

New menu entries
New in-app options
More versatile special loss condition dialog for 'Time expires' ____________

I would ask - does Unleashed Map Editor use it owns algorithmes for random map crating? And if it does, is there fixed witch huts, which not offer all 28 available secondary skills, but only resricted list of its?
3) Question, that i should ask not in this thread, but still, do someone know about BattlefieldExplorer program? Someone uploaded his ".jar"-file on 11 page of mapmaker thread, i downloaded it and it doesn't work, there is no "search" button there. Maybe someone knows another programs for comfortable combatfield searching.
Hello!
I'm the creator of BattlefieldExplorer. The other two programs I know about that let's you preview the battlefield are CombatTerrain and H3Tered.
I found them both uncomfortable, that's why I created my own version. The latest version you can find here: [url=https://github.com/jtakacs/homm3_battlefields]BFE github[/url], as RoseKavalier said.
I'm surprised to hear that the search button is missing when you start it. Can you post a screenshot?
Even if the search button is missing, you can still "search" around for battlefields, using W,A,S,D keys for navigation, and T,G keys for terrain change.
[+] Increased undo/redo count from 100 to 256 (can go even higher if needed)
[-] Corrected some functionality of new 'Time expires' controls
[-] Missing checks when library is not loaded with H3Unleashed.exe
[-] Fixed broken check on taking screenshots
[ ] General improvements
Last time I forgot to say that you can now customize the amount of object palette columns you want... see 'Unleashed.ini' [customization][PaletteColumns]
[+] Map screenshot destination is now based on root directory of executable
The <root>/screenshots/ directory is now automatically created
[-] re-Fixed functionality and display of Hero's enable/disable all spells buttons

This update is the proof that you need to test things after cleaning and before releasing...
I hope 1.20 is coming soon, too.
Check your slack messages.
[+] Hero primary skills predictors are now based on HCTRAITS.TXT
[-] Re-enabled code to allow extended primary skills of heroes
[ ] WINAPI UI elements added by Unleashed are undergoing conversion to be created more dynamically
After some communication with kazmer, we (well, 99.9% him) came up with a solution to interact between Unleashed and Battlefield Explorer. I still need to do some tidying up on that end but if all goes well it should be available not too long from now...
