H5 Editor map-objects

Unread postby Sarvi » 17 Mar 2007, 02:31

Where are all the objects I've seen in peoples' maps? The underground statues of nude women, the Academy out-buildings, the walls and gates, etc., etc.
My editor does not show these objects in the lists under any of the categories, ie., sand, dirt, grass, subterrain, all-terrain, etc.

What am I missing?
Ach wie schoen das niemand weiss....

thats because nival had the incredibly brilliant idea of removing those objects from your menu.

nival decided that since those objects serve no purpose and were only used for decoration, then they must be removed, after all, who wants decoration for their maps.

this also for some reason falls into what nival calls "improving" the map editor by removing things from it.

well at least makrise came up with a solution, and here it is

http://elrath.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=569&st=0

follow the instructions and install the mod, you will then have all the "arena" and "conquest" objects that you mentioned back in your editor.
makrise's mod also organizes all your objects for you, and is incredibly useful.
funny how nival couldnt come up with something like this....

oh, make sure you go to the very last post on page two, there is a fix you should install.

Delete them from the object list and try to replace them. A few of the objects are "borders" that probably aren't really suited to placing in a map.

thank you for your reply GOW..... I does'nt know how to do what you explain ( I guess I must edtit the file... and delete then objects and put them back in.....)
the problem is:
I played the map (forgotten kingdoms) from a save last day....
just before the game I've installed H5+HoF all over again.. and then everything was back on tracks.. :)
but when we started the game all my "arena objects" was missing again.. :(
my opponent could see them all... this may be the problem: the h5tweak program.... (maybe)
I've done the whole thing over again today (without the h5tweak program)
now (so far) all works like it should... :) (none of my arena objects "borders")

OK, just to make sure we're on the same page, you click on "view" and then on "Object List Panel" to bring up a list of the objects on the map.

Now to delete any object in the list, just left click on it to highlight it and hit the delete button on your keyboard. A confirmation question will come up so you don't accidentally delete something you didn't intend to.

Yes we are on the same page I've done that (several times) but none of the arena object shows up after I've done that... now I've reinstalled the game without the h5_tweak thing thats seems to work fine... :)
