Switching between Single Scenario and Multiplayer map?

Unread postby Philoric » 15 Aug 2012, 12:57

I've spent a number of hours working on a certain map in the Heroes V editor. Then I realized it was set as a singleplayer scenario where I wanted it as a multiplayer map. Is there anyway I can change that at this stage?

it used to be:
All you need to do is to rename a directory inside the *.h5m file. h5m files are renamed zip archives with a typical structure Maps/maptype/mapname/map_files

maptype is either SingleMissions or Multiplayer.

1. Unpack your *.h5m file. if not possible otherwise, rename it first to a zip file
2. Change the directory to the map type you want
3. Pack it back to a zip file. Be sure to keep the original directories structure and not pack only the subdirectories
4. Rename the obtained zip to h5m
