Loooks sweet...
and will the Mod support be better then WoG which in my opinion (which isnt worth much)was a bit hard....
i mean an opinio to create a new town from scratch without removing the default towns was added with ERA II but i didnt get the time to actually understand ERA....
will do now..
but hopefully VCMI will be the greatest mod freindly HoMM Mod or add-on built ever

It is possible to do both already. Just check new town [url=http://wiki.vcmi.eu/index.php?title=Mod_list]mods[/url] and see.
cool..
but thats not what i meant...
i meant like will there be a added software like mapeditor and campaigneditor that will easily let you make new towns , heroes,
edit towns..
p.s a Artifact editor as well
that will surely reduce moddders challenge hard work effort speed up under construction mods and let noobs like myself (in modding)be able to be make something decent

Making new artifact is just few minutes with basic text editor, even kid could do that. VCMI has the easiest and simplest modding system I know. We don't need any better tools for now, just try it.

The future of Heroes 3 is here!

VCMI doesn't have many programmers, and really these tools are not needed (for modding you need Notepad and freeware editor like Paint.NET).
Only map editor will be needed in near future.
But now you can use standard editor for map making.

true but imagine if VCMI managed to bring out a software enabling to create new fractions out of scratch without harming the old ones

And what you expect from such software? You already can make new factions/creatures/heroes without any knowledge of scripting. You don't even need to know structure of original H3 files.
For example all you need to have for new creature is file with similar to this: Creature format
And we already have several mods that can serve as example: mod list

But you can do this already - new factions like Cove and Forge are made from scratch and don't replace or affect any existing factions.

Of what harm do you speak of?
Mods can be completely independent.
PS But now I think of two useful tools.
1) Tool for arranging town screen (to have "structures.json" on exit with right coordinates). But this tool is only for few who convert towns from WOG. New towns can be made with 0,0,0 coordinates.
2) Tool for arranging walls in siege mod. Now it's not very comfort to manually enter coordinates and rerun siege to check. But it's also for few. I think, new siege walls can be made also with 0,0,0 coordinates.
I guest it's better for you to take some town for VCMI for example and try to convert some WOG town by your own to feel conception.

No coding at all. Maybe later, when special buildings parameters will be implemented (it was told about scripting buildings).

Current approach to mods in vcmi is something like this:
1) Get graphics/sound/etc you need for your mod
2) Write configuration files using our wiki and other mods as reference.
3) Put all of those in places where VCMI expects them to be found (again, see examples).
IMO something like this does not need any kind of "tool". Or at least this is not something that I would call as high priority.

Something like this? Modding
Quote:

Well... You do need to write such configuration files but right now VCMI does not have any scripting language (like ERM).
So I would not call this "scripting".

Once more hats off to you and btw....
I meant a way to create town buildings creatures backgrounds and such without having to open 15 programs to do it....
Like ResEdit/MMArchive and Deftool and Def Viewer Paint/Photoshop and etc...
And once again Hats off to this this...
Now only 3 more queries...
When will the campaigns be added...
And...
If the random map generator dosent work..
We can still generate our own maps manually or are we still stuck on Default Scenarios..
lastly When it is finished will the WoG options be there or will it be the Heroes 3 SoD/Complete

I think Random Maps will be not in next release.
Now you can create random maps in standard map generator.
WOG will be optional, and not needed for VCMI, from next release 0.93
UPD
By the way, around 1 year ago on VCMI was announced Project Legends:
link
There was video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rej_tgInyno&feature=youtu.be
Now creator disappeared. Anyone knows fate of this project and it's content?
I think if there are some town screens and monsters, they can be used back in Heroes 3.

It's your decision.
But I first pratized on converting WOG/ERA towns to VCMI,
and only after that started my own.
And I rejected ideas of making my own units - there are plenty units out here. Units will eat all time.
