Karmakeld presents, The Old school method... Open the map in the editor. press 'print screen' button. Open image editor program (like Paint as it's old school - if that exist on Win10). Then press ctrl +v to insert. Then crop the image to only display the minimap.
Wouldn't that work? ;) At least that's how I captured the minimaps of my maps..

I didn't take into consideration the larger size in H4MG. HeroesMinimapper creates 150 x 150 pixel BMP files.

I have Corel Paintshop for windows 10; Old school should work and I will try it later; as I created all the images I need right now using the 640x480 method mentioned earlier.

I have Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.309) and it's working fine here.

Try to update Windows and reinstall the Equilibris mod. It could happen that it was tinkered by AntiVirus software when being installed, in that case you will need to disable AV software temporarily and install again. The mod is safe.

Ive got the same W10 version as you have now.
disabled all firewalls and antivirus and reinstalled ---> nothing
switched to another firewall and antivirus ---> nothing
ive tried all of t he combinations with compatibility ---> nothing

has to be a equilibris things since heroes4 works perfectly and map editor aswell.

Is there a registry entry that could be fucked up or something else that is to do with the h4mod? Doesnt make sense at all.

Thats what came to my mind that its a GPU issue.

My native resolution is quite large: 2560x1440 (monitor 27)

Geforce GTX 960

Argh, that will be it.

So your only choice is to switch to windowed mode and set up 1280*1024 or 1024*768.

This, try this (DXWND)

And let me know. ;)

I recall I read somewhere, deleting the Equi.aop file from your Data folder could solve the issue. It keeps tracks of how stuff is arranged on the palettes in the editor, but I would back it up anyway.

No you have to delete it; then create the object pallet manually adding the equilibris objects. It will create a new Equi.aop file that works. For some reason the one created during game installation causes the editor to crash. That will not fix anything with the game itself.

I have Windows 10 and it works, though battle does hang sometimes. Haven't updated Windows 10 for about a year though since my computer has been offline.

Mind you, Equilibris has always worked for me in Windows 10 though.

Yes, working fine now, and don't recall problems earlier either.

equi.aop is in data folder.
