Options Editor Map Size
Hey Crew,
I have the most recent version of HotA 1.4.2 along with the HD Mod. For some reason, whenever I select ISLANDS as a water content choice, it turns on UNDERGROUND. Doesn't matter if I had it on or off originally. Does anybody else have this issue or understand how to resolve it successfully?
Thank you!

Announcement
HotA Crew wishes all of our users Happy New Year!
The "nearest future" ™ is coming closer and closer. The upcoming update will have the version-number of 1.5.0, but its arrival, alas, will not happen today. Last year we had to postpone the release for a day and this time - we will need even more to finish all the work. Approximately, the update will come on Orthodox New Year (January 14th). But as always - the date is not formally fixed.
However, before it arrives we plan to do a series of posts about the most prominent additions of 1.5.0. For a start we present you with a few previously unpublished screenshots, containing some of newest content.

First I like to wish you and the rest of the HotA crew a very happy New Year indeed!
Of course I had hoped, like others, to already get to play '1.5.0' today, but I'm honestly just appreciative that the work continues and glad that the next patch isn't that far away at all (crossed fingers).
Anyhow, there's certainly some very exiting stuff on these images, Nik! Some of it missed my eyes at first.
*New hero sprites for a more realistic consideration of hero class + gender on both adventure map and on the battlefield, if I'm not mistaken. This is a very nice feature!
*New portrait of Vey (I like it very much!) Made by Docent?
*New/fixed Luna portrait (Go home Heroes III HD, this is how it should be done)
*New gate on Water (Probably another distinct looking Two Way Portal, unless it's not?)
*Gazebo from Heroes II (Gives +1000 exp in H2. Maybe it has a new function in HotA, but it's likely just an alternative to the Learning Stone, unless it gives +2000 exp instead? Looks great either way)
*Leprechaun dwelling (Looks like a cosy home for a Leprechaun! I really like it)
*Unknown object on Swamp terrain, image no. 7 (A new Seer's Hut? Just a guess. Again, looks great)
*The Christmas Tree must be a decorative object for Snow terrain (Not sure if this will be generated for random maps, but nice pixel art for sure)
*New GUI button 'Boot with indicating movement' in battle (This mysterious button is only present during one of the images. Probably because it's newer than the others? I'm sure somebody can guess the function of this unlike me. I'm very exited as to what this button does!)
*Maybe this object is already in the game and I'm just a fool, but I couldn't find it in the map editor, at least, so perhaps it's indeed a new, unknown object?
*This looks very interesting. Some kind of bird? A new neutral creature? It has wings and a trail? Or maybe I'm just seeing stuff.
---
Last, I also really like the new decorations for Water. The pillars look majestic and adds depth/richness to the image. I also noticed that the alternative Prison has been updated. I wonder if it will included for random maps at some point?

Besides it being a nice pixel art I'm not sure I like the idea of a christmas tree in a fantasy world, so let's hope it doesn't generate on RGM.

Not really a wild guess, as I'm almost certain the button lets you switch between melee fighting and shooting (obviously, works only for shooters). Can be wrong, though.

Isn't this the tower of Cove's capitol?
Quote: *This looks very interesting. Some kind of bird? A new neutral creature? It has wings and a trail? Or maybe I'm just seeing stuff.
Seems to me like merely a hero.

True dat. Water decorations look amazing and it will be a great pleasure to do some mostly water-based scenarios (not that it wasn't before - this just opens up even more new possibilities).

@saki
Ah, yes, you're right, it's the Cove town without a fort. I also now see it's the hind legs of a horse in the corner. Feel free to laugh at me, lol.
About the button, I also had that thought initially, but I quickly dismissed it again because this button was on main GUI and not on the Magogs themselves, like the button to manually fire is. However, now that you mention it as being a toggle then maybe you're completely right. In that case there must another icon for 'ranged attack' when you toggle it, I suppose.

Happy New Year to the community !!
Awaiting the new update. The only thing I ask for patch 1.5 is that the developers finally release the development kit (campaign editor, fonts, graphic menu ...) to be able to translate the mod to other languages: Spanish, French, German ... (Merry Christmas from Spain!)
Impossible dreams? Who knows?

avatar said: Graphics menu and fonts are available for years. Haven't you heard about MMArchive? Yeah, campaign editor is missing, but you can write a message to hota team, they will send you all txt files, you translate, send them back and hota team will send you translated campaign. No need to wait. That's why polish translate exist for some time.
Wow you can ? I have already translated the mod into Vietnamese but I'm afraid the language will be back to English again after updating the new patch because the HotA.dat file will be replaced.

Nice work!
Just one question: does the update also feature one or more new campaigns? If so, how many?
Keep up the good work you guys are doing!
