Happy to hear that you liked it! The HP games community might not be the biggest but it is a very passionate one for sure, both the modding and speedrunning community. Trying our hardest to keep the games alive :D
I know that some people managed to get HP2 PC to work on Linux so there is definitely a way to do it. It's probably not the easiest way but I'm sure you got this! Best of luck installing the game and have a great time playing some custom maps!
Thanks for the tutorial!!! So from what I understand, does metallicafan's editor replace the original game files? I want to install it (downloaded everything already) but haven't done so because I don't want to overwrite my original copy of the game....UnWorld's editor doesn't seem to do that though
Yes it does! Definitely make a safety copy of your original game before installing the Editor, otherwise you won't be able to play the base version anymore without reinstalling... Can't wait to see what you can do with the new editor 😀
There is actually quite a sizeable community of people building and playing those 😄And the same community also made a widescreen fix for the game that you can download here: hp-games.net/mods-cs-jagotuwidescreen-en Have fun playing!
Yesterday I watched ur video and already use this with Metallicafan editor. Some files of map I can run and opened, they can be played. But I also tried to download the other game files of map its not running and cannot be opened. Can you pls help me? Because these some of the maps that are not working are my favs as I watched RUclips previously. Maybe you have teamviewer?
I also tried to run the HP1 maps but idk the editor is not working, I already download them too, but Idk how to run it too. And the maps are also my favorites :D
Heyy, are you trying to open all maps with the new Metallicafan Version of the game? Because a lot of them are just made for the base game without the editor so that might cause some issues. And the HP1 maps don't work with it for sure, those you definitely have to paste into your actual HP1 games. Another thing I can think of, are the HP2 maps that aren't working made by Dmtry Lemon by any chance? He has the annoying habit of nothing always uploading all the required files to the same location so I uploaded all of the files for all maps im a folder here: mega.nz/file/JH0yAaaK#Te1-9kzDSjf142ZEAj_sC4qON_F02KHKbonEsj_6Jto Just dump all of them into their respective folders and the map should load! As a small word of advise though I would copy the base game once before doing that because it might have some issues with that in there...
@@Nixxo I know HP1 will not work there. But could you pls help me, how can I play the HP1 Custom maps ? I also want to know bcs I want to play it. Idk which editor should I use I have Koops. The Koops one is not working :( I have to set the path when I opened the app then its not working at all when I have to locate the path to play it
My experience with HP1 custom Maps is very limited sadly but from what you explained it seems like you set it up properly... Maybe the matter just uploaded an incomplete map and it's broken or something like that?
Sadly I don't think it will because it's basically a patch you need to apply to an already existing installation of the game buuut I have heard that people on this Discord can help you with the Securom problem and to get the games going on your PC again: discord.com/invite/NwwXN6HVPR Have fun playing 🙂
after i installed the custom engine the launcher windows has become extremely tiny and i can't click on anything bc of it. do you have any idea on how i can fix it?
Hmm that's an interesting issue, I'm not super sure what that's about... The people that made the New Engine are on this Discord: discord.gg/YsVw3ME I would ask them there, hope they can help!
So it worked well for me on the base game, but when I installed the Custom Engine it resets the User.ini in Harry evolved every time I loaded the game, so I'm not able to start the debugmode. Tried it with different keys. :o (and yes I saved it before) Update: I gladly solved it by finding the bdebug=false in the game.ini and changed it to true, so that debug is on from the beginning. Weird tho, everything! you change in the user.ini from evolved is overwritten automatically with the default settings when loading into a map.
Hmm that is a weird issue indeed but thanks for posting the update on how you fixed it. The only thing I can think of is that something is funky with admin permissions in your Custom Engine installation and that Windows thinks you aren't allowed to make changes to the user.ini but I have no idea why it would be like that...
i tryed playing dmitrys alohomora exam and it didnt work, it doesnt show it in the debug list, do i need to have a finished game for the maps to load? i copied the thumbnail too
No the game does NOT have to be finished in order for custom maps to show in the map list. Are you sure you actually copied the map (should be a .unr file) into the map folder of your game? Kind of sounds like it didn't actually get copied over to me. Either way Lemon maps can sadly be a pain to set up sometimes because he doesn't always upload all the files for them in one place for some reason, I have never heard of them not even showing in the map selector though...
@@Nixxo I did copy the map and the other things (thumbnail etc into the corresponding folders, I tried it with other maps from other artists too and it still doesn't show
@@ThanasisGS Do you have like 2 different versions of the game installed or something and are copying it into the map folder for the wrong version? That's the last thing I can think about really because that is weird
@@Nixxo i copied the version i had onto the desktop and tried to load the maps, i will try uninstalling everything a d load the maps from the main folder, after making a back up
Is it any of the Dmtry Lemon maps by any chance? He has organized his folder in a very annoying way and the maps are often missing files because of it...
This folder should have the missing textures/animation etc for all the maps he has ever made: mega.nz/file/JH0yAaaK#Te1-9kzDSjf142ZEAj_sC4qON_F02KHKbonEsj_6Jto Just dump all of them into their respective folders and the map should load!

I'm so glad this game is still played and modded after almost 20 years! Best HP game by far in my opinion. Great tutorial, thank you so much!
Happy to hear that you liked it! The HP games community might not be the biggest but it is a very passionate one for sure, both the modding and speedrunning community. Trying our hardest to keep the games alive :D
Thanks for the tutorial! It's cool to see that there are still enthusiasts who do something to this game. I will also try to make a map myself :D
Awesome to hear that, feel free to send it my way once you have completed it! :D
Thanks! Can't wait to play the Diffindo Exam!!
Your welcome! Have fun playing some neat custom maps!
Wish me good luck, I'm about to install this on linux :D Just found your channel and now I want to play the game again, and the custom maps too.

This is very helpful I’ll be able to have fun with the custom maps of hp1 and hp2 and hp3 maps
Thank you, glad to hear that this tutorial is useful!
Useful

@@Nixxo Thanks for the tip!!! ^_^
Thanks alot !
You are very welcome, I'm glad it helped!
Wow, I didn't know they made custom maps for this game, that's cool. Is it possible to play in 1920x1080 rather than windowed mode?

No!It is already working since long time ago!@@Nixxo
Hey Nixxo, does the new engine fix the problem that the game won’t boot on a modern os because of Securom? I have the original CD and Windows 11
Sadly I don't think it will because it's basically a patch you need to apply to an already existing installation of the game buuut I have heard that people on this Discord can help you with the Securom problem and to get the games going on your PC again: discord.com/invite/NwwXN6HVPR Have fun playing 🙂
Plase, Could you upload the tutorial for HP3 Mods?
Than you very much
i downloaded a map which has carpe retructum in it
when i went to the file there was something called ''Animation''
what should i do with it?
Just copy it over into the main game folder. To the same place that has all the other folders like "system" or "maps"
I had a hard time finding maps on hp-games, now I found one I have no idea where the download button or link is...
I explain it in the tutorial, starting at around 1:40 into the video :)
after i installed the custom engine the launcher windows has become extremely tiny and i can't click on anything bc of it. do you have any idea on how i can fix it?

can't open them
