Q. I just installed the game and wanted to try my hand at the map editor, but I can’t find it. Where is it?
A. The map editor is added to the game by patch 3; you need to install the patches.

Q. Wasn’t a Random Map Generator supposed to come with the map editor?
A. No. Heroes 5 was only ever supposed to have the Map editor. The Random Map Generator will be introduced with the first expansion.

Q. Is there a way how I can turn my single player map into a multiplayer map once I have already started to make it?
A. Yes. Here is what you need to do step by step:

1. unpack the map *.h5m file with winzip, winrar or any other program. If you do not manage to do it otherwise, change the .h5m extension manually to .zip

2. There is now a new Maps directory with a subdirectory called SingleMissions or Multiplayer depending on map type. Rename it to the version you want. Check the case sensitive spelling!

3. pack the Map directory and everything within it back to a *.zip file

4. Rename the .zip to .h5m

In summary, all you have to do is to rename a directory inside the *.h5m file. h5m files themselves are renamed zip archives.

G'day Guys, i am a bit of a late starter to Heroes, i only just found this site and downloaded all the updates of the game from 1.1 to 1.6, and i found many great looking maps, it tells me on the site to just stick these maps into the maps directory and then they will work, but i am finding that none of the maps i have downloaded will appear on the maps list in game, can some body please assist me in this, as im sure many of you spent long hours making them, i would like the chance to enjoy your creations as well.

regards

DJ

Unfortunately that also means I might not recognize things that are unintuitive to someone who hasnt used the editor yet. I just dont see certain things anymore...
It would be very helpful for new mappers if you could write from their point of view Ill add problems and solutions to the trouble shooting/FAQs so that we have one version with in-depth description and one with an overview.

Quote:Originally Posted by OutsidR... I noticed during play testing my maps, if I have placed too many trees on the map, it can slow down the computer quite a bit. If you noticed, the trees move all as if wind was blowing them...How many trees are we talking about...
Gates to Paradise and Desert Planet have both a high amount of props and I have noticed no slow downs on my systems I have a dual core and one PC that just fulfills the sys requirements. I dont know about the moving trees but normal props dont have a high impact on performance in my experience.
I test performance by comparing the frame rates of my maps to Finns Revenge without units.

IMO a working AI on a custom map is a necessity to balance a map properly and test it under gaming conditions unpassable terain and such.

I have played a test game on your Arena map once and the AI did well IMO, good work The map could use more eye candy and detail though.

Hallo,

I have a question about campaign heroes. If I retreat a campaign hero in a self made scenario it isn't possible to recruit him back in a tavern. Can something be done about this?

Thanks
