Quote: It will be around <>100 Mo I guess. It contains all music tracks from the movie, 250 combat custom sounds and all map objects custom sounds. The new creatures are about 30 Mo only, is mostly the music which takes space and some gifs. But I got the original show tracks, hey, and they are awesome
Why don't you use RADtools? It's free and can create both Bink (.bik) and Smacker (.smk) files from avi or whatever... H3 use this for videos as I've seen in the vid file.
Sorry... Wrong reply...
I want to send for the avi theme...

bik and smacker are not supported by ERM. Only uncompressed AVI. Campaigns are something different then regular maps. Anyway I don't use avi in my map, only a few gifs which are less than 200Ko each one. The biggest part is the music (50Mo) and 54 new creatures (35Mo)+ patch 1.09 required (13Mo).

Some pictures used in "300" are too large in bmp format, if change them into jpg format, it will decrease much in size.

Living in a perfect world I don't care much about size (takes me 5 minutes to download 120 Mo). 10 years ago it would be a real problem, today it isn't anymore. At least where I live.

Well your download speed could be very fast, yet mine (and I think a lot of polish and russian users') is not. 120 Mb takes me 15 minutes for sure.

I have the feeling that your map is going to be very complicated and extremely hard to play...

I hope not and trying to make it the most intuitive possible. I will add description for available weapons (now that it seems complicated), so the player will know what he selected and why.
@Edit: Awesome idea from Jim Vogan. Now all my headaches about clicking here, there, again there and here are gone. You just click on First aid box to heal, and on AMMunition box to reload guns magazines, keep track of Ammo left for everyone and so on. Bullets are not recharged between battles.

Maybe, but I don't have the time and energy to learn play Heroes V. And if you don't know by heart a game mechanics, maps will never be good.

I played old games long time i believe it is 2 years ago that i played MM series Games.But than i looked up to mods like HotA but their still not ready so i were disapointed.The Maestro Mod for MM7 was nice but still MM series going to be boring .Now i see the graphics and their so old.
But this mod is a mod when it is ready i would dowlaod it.

My WOG game is a lite version with size of 400M+ only.
To a certain extent, 120M means downloading a new game.
But I don't care much about this too.

I keep the strict minimum from Heroes, changed almost anything, icons, combat mechanics (no hero involved), travel, economy within random trade routes, new resources, new weapons. But not difficult to master, there is no explanation, as the new icons speak for themselves.
It is a new game, and I have fun doing so. But...long. Hopefully Jim Vogan joined and started on combat scripts, while I am working on economy and locations. It will be done twice faster now.

First attempt to animate things:
Added one to replace tavern, animated Ship engines, animated and changed stargate model, updated city Bmp with steps.
I will add a static visual effect on the two objects on the left then I am done, as I can't do better than that ATM.
