While messing around, I previously copy-pasted two creatures on top of each other. You could fight the first creature, but the second one would crash the game.
I tried that as well and sometimes the second creature doesn't crash the game. Its quantity grows to 4095 and it has some random artifact and resources.

Back from the dead 
Took a quick shot at Spell Book / Grail :
I haven't tried to see if Spell Scroll is a valid artifact, it would be interesting to lose spells!

I think it also can be used for war machines and first aid tent.

Yes! All War Machines are a go.
You can have no catapult as a result... but the moment you go to town siege it appears out of nowhere 
As for Spell Scroll - they can be set as Quest but the problem is that it is not removed from your inventory/hero.
The code to remove artifacts has a specific check for Spell Scroll where it exits the subroutine.

Yes, I've tried it.
Also I added scroll to Pandora's Box, etc.
The result was the same - exception.
-----------------
+ I tried to add all possible spells (creature's magic) to the scrolls or scholar. But the result was useless

bug in gameplay -> one way monolith + extra subtypes
I have found the problem with extra numbers of subtypes of the one-way monoliths.
There is unexpected behaviour of subterrian gates on the map.
Some ways are shifted. The first of them (Underground) generates the bug.
The last one (Surface) is blocked.

This problem was fixed in SoD SP plugin. Keep in mind though that the AI doesn't see the new types of monoliths anyway, if I remember correctly.

example map
Blank map when loaded through game.
If it's a problem with SoD_SP specifically, report it over here.
Game has to be created with SoD_SP 1.13+, otherwise the game can still overwrite data and SoD_SP cannot fix it once it's already broken.
######
I just tested with subtype 9999 (both 1-way and 2-way)
[note, don't go over subtype 65533 ~ technical reasons. Number is correct.]
AI takes it if there's something at the end.
Then I placed these islands with a lot of 2-way monoliths and windmill at the end ... hero would take the path.
So just give AI some incentive and they will usually go.
Again, if you see a bug, report it please. I check as much as I can but there is only finite time available

>Invalid or corrupt map file
It's really strange. Maybe it was the problem with File server.
I have packed the map into zip with password 54321

Everything is working on my end, all monoliths, all subterranean gates.
While I am using v1_15, there was no change to this code area since 1.14. Does it happen every time you try this map?

So I'm playing heroes 3 on steam and I'm making a map and I'm trying to create and event where the player can choose yes/no if you want to accept the terms of the event, if you choose yes you loose 10k gold (pay to enter an area) is this possible to do somehow? :s

 no, Quest Guards were implemented in Armageddon's Blade which is not part of the steam version and most likely never will be... unless they can magically find the source code and need more money.

Oh I see so that's only in the expansions. I thought it said at some point in the editor that the player could somehow choose to accept an event or not haha but I guess not. Thanks alot
Yeah the steam version is snow but I play it with my friends online and it's so much simpler than needing gameranger and even with that someone always disconnects. When I play solo I play HommIIIComplete.

I've got a request to the modearator: this is an update for a second post in this thread. I kindly ask to replace the old one, because there was some bad information, I've added links to files containig additional objects and explained how to have both campfires on our map 
How to add unavailable objects in SoD?
Objects that can be added to the original SoD from left to right:
adcfra0.def
advmwind.def
avartif.def
avgnoll.def
avxmktt0.def
avxoblr.def
but probably there is one or two more.
It's rather simple and works without WoG. Open H3bitmap.lod with MMarchive. Find Objects.txt and extract it. After opening it, you will get something like this:
Just press Ctrl+f and write down name of similar object, which is available in editor (check for a def name in WoG editor or [url=http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=43775&pagenumber=1]Unleashed[/url]. Open object's advanced properties). Copy whole line, paste below and change it's name to a desired one. Save "Objects.txt" and put to the "data" folder. Notice, that you can change type and passability of every object and your map will "remember" this change, even when you will change values in "objects.txt" once again. Thus, the same objects on your map can have different content! When your map is saved, remove "Objects.txt" from "data", so game won't crash.
I've prepared files with all available objects, just for you. The upper one is for SoD and lower for HoTA. Put them in a "data" directory.
[url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/djby7fnve2tv1sn/Objects.txt?dl=0]SoD objects[/url]
[url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfyb22oied2u2w1/EdObjts.txt?dl=0]HoTA 1.5.3 objects[/url]
Sometimes objects (for example campfire) will have wrong animation and broken palette. That's when two def files contain bitmaps with the same names. However, there is a simple trick to have both campfires: for original campfire, use the one from "lava" category instead of campfire from "treasures". They look the same, but they are using different defs, so the game will give us our new campfire together with the old one 
Except mentioned situation, all added original objects should work with our settings correctly on every Heroes copy, but they will be available only in our editor 
{ additional info}
Solid squares and entrances are saved from right to left, and from down to up. After every eight numbers in objects.txt starts a new row. Here is AVMwwhl0.def for example:
a) tells us, where we can put our object (Water Wheel can be put everywhere. For example 011111111 means object that can be put everywhere except water)
b) tells us, where we can find our object in the editor
c) is a type of object
d) is a subtype
e) is used to put our object in one of category: 1-castles, 2-monsters 3-heroes 4-artifacts 5-treasures
f) if "1" object is a part of the ground
In "a)" and "b)" game looks for a value "1" from right to left, so AVMwwhl0.def can be find in Dirt, Grass and Swamp section.
this is what we need to write if we want our object to be placed in one of special category (compared to water and dirt):
b) c) d) e) f)
Dirt 000000001 type subtype 0 Part of the ground
Water 100000000 type subtype 0 Part of the ground
All-terrain objects 011111111 type subtype 0 Part of the ground
Towns 011111111 type subtype 1 Part of the ground
Monsters 011111111 type subtype 2 Part of the ground
Heroes 011111111 type subtype 3 Part of the ground
Artifacts 011111111 type subtype 4 Part of the ground
Treasures 011111111 type subtype 5 Part of the ground
"Type" means whether our object will work as well, mine, obelisk, etc. "a" is subtype, e.g. dwellings and artifacts use them.
And as I mentioned: map will "remember" changes to a specific object placed on a map, so the same objects on your map can have different passability and effects!
Now I am really proud of this post

I don't remember if I linked this one before, but I was asked for it so here's a post+link.

It lets you estimate the damage range of monster-monster attacks, as well as spell damage.
Base on this work, essentially just translated.

I have tried the hex editing tricks shown in this threas on campaigns. Basically, I used the comparison method to change some starting bonuses to negatives and some other stuff.
The problem is, when I open the campaign with the editor to see the changes, it crashes without even opening the file. The actual game does load the campaign and shows the bonuses correctly, however the map name says "Old Map Format" and it has no description. If I press "Begin", game crashes.
I suspect this is because the h3c file is made out of modules (every map is a module, plus a header with the cmp info), and every module is gzipped separately, and the binaries concatenated afterwards. The map editor has this nice feature to load unpacked maps (in no extension format), but if I try the same thing with the campaign editor, it doesn't work.
So my question is: Does anyone have the structure of the h3c file/source code of the wog campaign editor? It would help a lot.
P.S. I am not sure if this is the appropriate thread to post this.
