Map format used by WOG - for writing random map generator+
Hello!
I want to spend my free time on writing external random map generator in C++ for Heroes III: WOG. It'll be capable of generating lands and, whats more interesting, scenarios. So, it'll be able to set special objectives, story background, etc. I plan to makes script language for this application, to make everybody makes their own random scenarios. But, I have a problem: I can't find map format, used by Heroes III. If someone know it, I'll be very glad for reciving link to it I need structure of h3m file. Thanks in advance

What you want to do is a very hard task.
First of all, look at http://heroes.ag.ru/h3/rmg/smedstad.zip - it's a presentation that briefly describes standard RMG behavior.
As for the maps format it isn't completely studied yet. There is a document with a big part of format described, but it's in Russian.
What really worths making is RMG.txt tamplates editor. This file has big potential and is studied quite good.

numi aka Gamesgodsplay wrote an RMG template editor in HTML. I don't recall if it was completely finished or not, however as I only tried it out a little bit but I do have the file if anyone wants it.GrayFace wrote:What really worths making is RMG.txt tamplates editor.

I know the Russian a little (reading in cyrilic, and something else ) So you can show me the link to this documentationGrayFace wrote:here is a document with a big part of format described, but it's in Russian.
@Fnord -> If you could, send me it. I'll be glad for it

Actually, you can find numi's RMG editor in the wakeofgodsmaparchive Yahoo group at the very bottom of the file section (there are other interesting utilities there too as well as in the other wog map archive), but if you don't wish to join this group, give me your email and I'll email you the file instead.L_Devil wrote:I know the Russian a little (reading in cyrilic, and something else ) So you can show me the link to this documentationGrayFace wrote:here is a document with a big part of format described, but it's in Russian.

Yes, it was the first thing I read about RMG, but 8 zones may be enough only for small or medium map with a few (few is 1-4, you know) players on it. A map with more players on 8 zones will be too poor.Fnord wrote:numi aka Gamesgodsplay wrote an RMG template editor in HTML.

Here is the topic with RMG description in Russian: http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=1958&st=0

Thanks a lot. I'm currently finishing program's script, next will be a real programming itself. I'm very glad for h3m documentation, but it looks it's unfinished (and the missing part has great important to me) - there is no description of standard object and their preferences placed on the map (f.e. border guards, quest guards, etc.). But I can try to figure that one myself
All rights then, time to hard work
aah, and sorry for my long absent. I has a bit serious disease and I was in hospital. Hopefully it's now all right with my health

File format
Hello guys,
Sorry for the off topic, i've been trying to get some information about the h3m file format, and this is as close i got. Can you please direct me on where to find a set of specifications for the file format?
Thank you,
I/O Nut

Well, we are officially hiding it behind the wall of wakeofgodsteam. But if you know russian I think that you may look for as it was probably leaked somewhere anyway.
As far as I remember document is still omitting some aspect though. So best would be to contact GrayFace by PM.

Hello again,
Thanks for the reply Pol unfortunately GrayFace did not answer my PM's so i am back to square one. I don't know russian so i have no chance in finding any specs there. So if anyone else knows a way to help me get my hands on the h3m file format i would be gratefull.
Best regards,
I/O Nut

Hmm, that's problem. I assume only way is leading through the grayface... perhaps a bit of patience? He is not here on everyday basis.

Here I am. Somehow there were no notifications of PMs sent to my email. As you see, I visit this forum very rearly, so the best way to contact me is to use email or ICQ.
So, what is it you need the map format for?
