editing game campaigns

Unread postby the-wes » 28 Nov 2010, 21:11

I am using Heroes 3 Complete.

Is there any way to load the maps that ship with the game in the Scenario Editor? I assume these will have to be extracted somehow from the game's data files. I would like to know which file they are stored in, and possibly what compression method is used on them, if any.

thanks,

Yeap, they are stored in the LOD files. Use a LOD extraction utility such as MMArchive. I don't really remember now, but they could be in H3Bitmap.
