Custom Maps

[Mig1985]

I know the game is not old yet but there are not enoupg maps and normally the community is publishing a lot of maps right at release. But i cant find them in the net. Does anyone know where to get some?

Hi Mig1985
All of our official or 'original maps' (like Dried lands/Bad neighbours) are not possible to be opened in the editor. So if this is what you're attempting to do you wont be able to.

However if it's a custom map that you've published/cooked you should be able to open their souce/uncooked version by taking the following path \My Games\Might & Magic Heroes VII\MMH7Game\EditorWorkspace

Wow that was a fast answer!
So then i´ll report something strange about "Dried Lands" there is a second Town near the starting Town for each player. But only player 1 gets the same race im pretty sure that this is not intended.
Its a nice Map and i hope you can fix that without waiting for the big patch.

I've forwarded it to the LD who made that map to see if it's intended or he can shed some light on what is happening.

[Mig1985]

Ok thx a lot pls keep us updatet.
Nice Support.

Ok so i've spoken to the person who made the map and they are actually designed to be entirely random. Therefore i'm going to put it down to coincidence that in this occasion player one got the same faction all the time.. I will however test to make sure it is being random and not some wizardry happening.

[Mig1985]

Maybe its was luck two times, but even if its intended, the second town should be either the same race or "random, but not same race" because its such a huge advantage to get the same race thats its totally unbalanced. I think it makes no sense playing 2 vs 2 when it could happen that one team gets the same race. Furthermore i think both possibilities could make a lot of fun (same race and random) it would be nice to choose.

Thanks for the feedback. The level designer for that level, Ramiro is also around steam, perhaps he'll drop by and give you his thought process as well.

Hi there. I heard somone summoning me. Right now we don't have a way to have "Random but not same race".

I will check if this is even a possibility, but can't promise anything. If not, we could consider to make them the same faction as the player itself. But we'll see what we can do.

Thanks a lot for the feedback and don't hesitate to post any other questions you might have.

Is it possible to write a script in code in the editor? (Im not sure if this was understandable)
What i think about is, if it is possible to code a event without using the script editor its might be possible to write a script like:

event randomize_tower_player1 {
trigger player1 moves {
\\or something every player needs to do
if random_town_1 = race_player1;
then random random_town_1;
\\ where random needs to be the spawn function during the map starting/loading phase
if random_town_1 != race_player1;
end }};

As you can see im a pretty mighty programmer with really massive and huge skills in programming.... ;-)
No for real i cant write a single row in c++ or any other language...

I just spoke with our Über editor guy and we will implement this in a following patch. Not the next one I'm afraid, but definetly the one after that.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We really need feedback like this one. :)

Hey Mig1985, just so you know, the most recent patch includes thee feature change you requested and it's already available in Dried Lands. :)

Thanks for your suggestion!
