The Heroes Round Table

Well I fear for the once individuality and originality of this. Google just bought it, so expect it to become very commercial in nature. And once commercial in natture like everything else, it will have less originality and individuality. I don't understand this. YouTube's contents is entirely prod...

Hey, I'm just trying to do something with popup images, I'm using this script: <script> PositionX = 100; PositionY = 100; defaultWidth = 370; defaultHeight = 510; var AutoClose = true; if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion.charAt(0))>=4){ var isNN=(navigator.appName=="Netscape")?1:0; var isIE=...

Yeah, the WA patch 1.5 eliminated the CD check, which was nice.

These forums get as many posts as they ever have and the map community, while slowed down by the editor obviously, has hit the ground running. We're getting a very healthy number of submissions for an editor ~1mth old.

I'm sorry, I just don't believe it. If you have XP, go start/programs/games and look at all the ones with "internet" in front of them and then go into the latest version of msn and look at the list of games there. They, along with other casual (and usually free) games, make up the vast ma...

Yeah, that'd make sense. So if both ppl have the original game the 2nd expansion but only one person had WA, they could play all races except IG. That doesn't seem to bad to me, I'd be surprised if they let people with only DC play as the IG.

That's a pretty unusual move to make the xpack a standalone game. And I don't quite understand that last part. Does that mean that no other races will be enabled w/o both the original game and WA installed or is it just that the original races will work with the orig. installed and the IG with WA in...

I think you'll find the figures include a lot of casual games, eg. msn/XP games.

Expansion is only 1 CD, so it can't be the full 1.3gb.

Ever since windowsXP integrated with .zip (you don't even need winzip to open zips anymore so everyone on XP will be able to open them), compressing anything in .rar seems like nothing more than a needless complication to me.

Excellent idea to replace the ugly mini-map with an overhead screenshot .

Good to know.

I wonder if that's why the final sylvan map had slow turns. What about map 4 Academy? Did the AI have the spell in that map.

I did it exactly as I described in the walkthrough. I never had to re-start, I just made sure I took the right skills and didn't get skills from witches huts which might muck up the path.

You need to use the big cannons. It took me a while to figure out that you had to manually shoot them,using the attack button.

Yeah, it should be pretty sweet.

Ok, thx for the replies. It looks like it should be ok.

Two questions: a) Is this all as complicated as it looks to a non-programmer like myself? Or is it possible for someone like me to pick the editor up and do basic scripts like making a text box or giving the player some resources? b) If you want to do anything even moderately fancy with the editor, ...

Holy cow, that's insane.... and people thought the H4 editor was complex! I haven't actually opened the editor yet, so I didn't realise how difficult this might be. I hope I'm not asking too much for people to make an "interesting" map. In all honesty, if this map editor is too difficult f...

Base game only, no mods, if that's what you mean.

I've got quite some experience with editors [ I've made a couple of heroes 3/4 maps, but the experience I mainly have comes from doing countless things with the warcraft 3 editor ], so when I first opened the editor I already knew what my first map was going to be; the same thing as I did in heroes...
