Preliminary checks

Describe the problem requiring a solution

I can see some gamers already started recreating maps using new editor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMBvU3W7qzY

It would be great if we could collect all the maps, that are done with editor to somewhere and just add it to release or add script to release, that downloads them automatically.

Describe the possible solution

Add maps download script for release. It would prevent users from necessity of finding where to download original game or maps. You just download beta + add maps there, that were created by new editor.

Additional info

Jon Van Caneghem, GOG and Ubisoft don't care about heroes2 terms of use. We could also just add link to all the maps (not only created with editor). 28 years passed since game was published. Link to download is not prohibited.
3DO and NWC are dead.

First of all, you must own a full original game. If I understand properly you meant "beta" as a demo version. fh2m maps don't work on a demo version.

Having any extra application: launcher, script and etc, is also not a proper way to make things right. fheroes2 engine will come with a set of maps but these maps must be approved and verified.

I am moving this topic into the discussion section.
