Reverse Engineer h3m files

So I rewrote this project in python. So I can get the basic info from the 3 original map types (RoE, AB, SoD). Before I continue on with the project and try to reverse engineer the rest myself I thought I'd ask if anyone was aware of any other projects that have already documented the h3m file formats (including the new HotA format). I thought it might be fun to use this to finish the List of maps (HotA) project. →ima 17:27, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Adding artifacts to heroes

Add artifact to hero.png

Add artifact to hero (HotA).png 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? →ima 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). →ima 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. --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):

File:Hero properties artifacts wog.jpg If there are other places where your editor is missing buttons, maybe your game files are somehow corrupted -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 they 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... →ima 23:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
I booted up a new windows 10 virtual box and it works fine too. So just something wrong with my current windows 10 setup. →ima 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. →ima 08:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Did a fresh install of windows 10. Problem solved. →ima 17:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
