The Heroes Round Table

After installing WoW and Equilibris...I decided for a lark to try my "bad" map.

And wows...IT PLAYS!!!

The map I spent the entire summer of 2004 making...I finally now get to play it for the first time!

Whatever the problem was...WoW and/or Equilibris fixed it good!

I am desperate for any suggestions that may help: Another of my H4 maps is now being pronounced as "bad" by the game and won't start. However, this time it happened AFTER I was able to start playing it. :mad: I had touched up a map that I had played many times before. I changed it to multi...

Hello! I have been playing Heroes since #1...but #2 was so much better that I kinda forgot I even played Heroes I. I missed out on #3 altogether, and have been playing Heroes IV ever since. I started making maps for Heroes II, and continued with Heroes IV. However, I have been out in the wilderness ...

@rakne or anyone... I found out now, by using the FAQ here about H4util. Where? I searched the Forum topics for FAQ & H4util and only found this page. I went to the Celestial Heavens main site, and only found a NewsSearch which didn't produce any results. I don't see how to search for stuff on t...

On my most recent Heroes IV map, "Terrak" , I put in some lockpicking guild questhuts in order to give players the pseudo-ability of lockpicking, which is then utilized when opening the Pandora's Boxes. I soon realized because this is a multiplayer map that one "LockpickingSkill"...

LOL...Viel lustig!

I am glad to hear these things about Koni! The map is on its way to him now!

(I had to add in a few scripts I learned on this site...although I've been making Heroes maps for years, I'm new here.)

Well, the "Filename is Bad" message is critically serious - the game can not even be run after it says that. At least from the Utility I found here I will be able to copy the drawn part of the map if I don't get a solution here on what might be causing the message. Then I can re-create the...

I haven't published it yet.

If you would like to playtest it, I would be happy to send it to you.

I have run into the "complex conditionals" problem. I will expand on GhostWriter's comment... Generally I have found that this problem happens when: 1) There are more than 15 lines of commands within a particular Condition or Ask Question function. And basically 15 lines is the amount that...

To answer the original query about Sleeping/Waking armies: If my army doesn't have Summon Ship and/or I don't want to give another player access to a certain body of water by abandoning my ship, then I will leave one of the army's weakest creatures aboard the ship when the rest of the arm disembarks...

I have made a Heroes IV map of Middle Earth.

I tried to follow Tolkein's map and books...difficult to make it very playable because of there being so few towns in Middle Earth.

I have also noticed that the AI needs a clear path from its heroes' starting point.

If there are too many resources surrounding one of their heroes, that hero may go nowhere.

(Also artifacts - sometimes the AI doesn't pick them up - so they might block the way.)

I spent an entire summer creating a HOMM IV Gathering Storm extra-large two-level map...but when I run it the game says "Mapname is bad." (Of course I was stupid enough when making it to not to "save as" as I was going along...so there's no way to revert to an earlier version.) I...
