Converting a map?

Unread postby Metathron » 11 Mar 2006, 15:35

In H4, if you wanted to make a standard H4 map into an expansion map, you simply placed an object from one of the two expansions there and voila.

In H3 complete however, this does not seem possible. I tried converting one of my favourite H3 Restoration of Erathia maps into a Armageddon's blade map, so that I could gain access to the new artifacts and play the map with the Conflux.

Can this be done at all?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have HoMM III compleet so this is just a guess, but can't you save the map in the Armageddon's blade editor so that it becomes a Armageddon's blade map?
Grah!

Yes, if you will go to the map properties (Ctrl + Enter I thought...) and pick the desired map format ;)

Thanks, guys.

But can you only have either the AB set of artifacts/heroes or the SoD set or can you have both? E.g. in H4 if you choose the map format to be that of the WoW (the second expansion), that will include all the new stuff from the first expansion as well.

Both, ie. in SoD AB is included, in WoG AB+SoD(although SoD option is not here) are in.

Thanks.

One more thing - I wanted to see the intro animations for both AB and SoD but the game only shows that of RoE and I don't know where to find the other two. Perhaps they weren't even included in H3 complete? :|

I wanted that too :cry:


But, for the God sake, they weren't packed in the Complete version.



Link, anyone?
