== The page is | ==Holy Moly== | ||
* Csaros - Standing ovation, well done on this page! There is an incredible amount of info here! | |||
* Because there is so much info here, I think we should consider breaking this into a hierarchy of pages. Maybe 1 page per major section? | |||
* It also might be helpful to add some pictures of the editor as a reference point for what you are talking about. | |||
** I looked around a little and didn't see the pics for the map editor buttons/menus. I'll add it to the proposals page to get those pics. | |||
*** The page is not done yet. I'm gonna have to add Pandora's boxes, Events, resources, Lamps, scholars, Map Specifications, and I also wanted to add a detailed guide with examples based on my own maps or some of the original ones. Should be done by the end of next week. --[[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) | |||
*** A number of pictures, including editing menus, have been uploaded, but I could use help with adding them. I'm not sure how to add them in a way that doesn't break the text, but instead appears on the right with a caption. Perhaps you could help me with that. -- [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) 21:46, 26 January 2024 (UTC) | |||

I can't get this to work. Is this a bug? How do you add artifacts to heroes in the map editor? | |||
Are you supposed to be able to click somewhere? Should there be a button? [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 15:22, 11 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
:yup, definitely a bug. its missing 'Add', 'Edit', 'Remove' and 'Remove all' buttons | |||
::Does your editor properly show the buttons? Could it be a Windows 10 problem? I tried running as admin and some other compatibility options but all it did was make my screen really small (or big? idk). [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 16:52, 11 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
:::all i can say its not the win 10 thing. im using roe, ab, complete and two hota editors without any extra compatibility fun and ive never seen something like that before. --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 17:09, 11 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
::::Definitely a bug. Try another version of the editor. This window should be pretty much the same in all game versions & operating systems - I have tested it on PC w/ Win10 and laptop w/ XP, so if other editors too have missing buttons, there is something VERY wrong with your Windows or map editor files. This is how it looks on my XP laptop (WoG editor, not that it should matter): | |||

If there are other places where your editor is missing buttons, maybe your game files are somehow corrupted -[[User:Fafner|Fafner]] ([[User talk:Fafner|talk]]) 19:41, 11 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
:ok yeah i just booted up a windows xp virtual box and used a shared folder to open the same files and [[:File:Add artifact to hero.png|they]] [[:File:Add artifact to hero (HotA).png|appear]] just fine. The issue seems to be with my windows 10. I did play around with UI fonts so I'm guessing something got messed up there...

::I booted up a new windows 10 virtual box and it works fine too. So just something wrong with my current windows 10 setup. [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 08:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
:::Also the ® symbol doesn't show up in the heroes 3 map editor title of my windows 10 install but it did show up in the windows 10 virtual box install. So it reinforces the idea that it has something to do with whatever I did with the fonts. [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 08:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
::::Did a fresh install of windows 10. Problem solved. [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 17:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
:::::Just a note that using tools like WinAero Tweaker or outdated custom themes can do this; I've experienced similar problems on other apps in the past! [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=special:contributions/phasma|→ Phasma]] 20:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
