fheroes2 stream

Unread postby GreatEmerald » 27 Oct 2015, 11:45

I'll be streaming fheroes2 this Saturday at 15:00 UTC (details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_700wXxkSdM ). However, I'm missing a good map to use for the occasion. The HoMM2 maps on CH are simply links with hardly any metadata, and I don't want to comb through all of them in order to find one that fits (TSW, allied, with an option to choose Necromancer town). Anyone have any recommendations for that?

I just found out that fheroes2 in fact does read PoL maps, as long as their filenames are set to .MP2, but the PoL map structures aren't there, they just don't appear on the map (but right-clicking shows their identifiers). As such, now I can use the stock PoL maps for this, but of course any more map suggestions are welcome.

Actually, as far as I know fheroes2 does read .mx2 maps - I have not had to rename any when loading them. You have the heroes2x.agg and the required files for PoL don't you? AFAIK fheroes2 can work either with or without PoL.

I figured it out myself, yes. I didn't have that file copied previously.
