Anyway to save a savefile?
Hi!
Me and my brother started playing a game of homm3 through the hd mod lobby with hota "latest versions of both". No other mods or strangenes, just Homm3 complete, latest hdmod + hota.
But now we've come to the point where the game allways crashes and generates a crashlog on the Orange Cpu turn, its repeatable, allways the same spot, even if i load up the save in singleplayer, we've tried using an autosave 3 days prior, but it crashes the very same when it gets to the orange turn days later.
Is there a trainer or is someone handy enough to open a savefile and correct whatever is wrong, or is this game completly lost?
The game in question:

Short answer is that there's a specific - and likely transient - trigger. What I do is enable cheats, namely NPCNEBUCHADNEZZAR and NWCTRINITY, to run around and find out what's happening. It's usually that specific hero either going to a town or taking some other action. At that point, you just have to prevent the NPC from taking that action, and the game won't crash anymore.
'course, this also ends up affecting your game, so... it's a half-answer at best.

Thanks for the respons, did help a lot to narrow down what was causing the issue. So we did some testing with cheats, and it seems to be a spell scroll on the map that is causing the issue. I Created a hero which could be deleted and made him fly then ran and tried to pick up the spell scroll on the turn before orange picks it up, instantly crashes when i touch it. Whats also strange is that there is a flower inside the cave wall, don't remember seing something like that before. Could this indicate a bug in the creation of the map perhaps?

Bug in the creation of the map, totally.

I don't have the original map at hand, gonna ask my brother to send it to me since he was the one who generated it.
Saw there was a validation button inside the map editor, is this something that can be used to check for issues like this in the future? Instead of generating the map ingame?
Is it also possible for me to generate a copy of this map based on the seed number, "Havent found a place to input the seed in the editor though".
Thanks, learning a lot today.

Yes, you can use the validation button, but it doesn't seem to notice when objects are in underground black regions and such.
Hmmm, seed... I'll be honest, I don't know too much about seed in HoMM3 or how it can be re-used. I myself, don't seem to have an option to choose map seed in-game.
Did he generate it in-game or with the editor?
