So you recovered all the 3D files and the town screen is complete? Does that... does that mean forge is closer than ever?

No. It's an 2-years old ex-hota town screen that was based on original NWC screen + few of my models. It's quality is too low to be a Hota town (only if we'll make brand new screen, better one) so I've decided to share it with community.

Oh I see, but it looks so good. I'll just go back into the shadows till more forge news comes to light

April Fool's Day is over, I guess now you can tell us what is is the current state of the project, don_komandorr.
Fans are worried.

Meanwhile in Acid Cave...
As you see, Tesla Coil was borrowed from Don. Some graphics will be improved, but none the less this is complete town screen.

When to expect new version?
Will the team share Rainway Forge townscreen?

the only thing i don't care for in this screen are the roads. i think they would look better paved, or at least without the blurred edges(as if the road were just recolored terrain. the texture should slightly differ, at least). my 2 cents.
this townscreen has a much better texture, imo:
don_komandorr said:
these townscreens remind me of my old forge terrain, compared with the new. the new is much more textured, more tore up, and much more inhospitable-looking. i like the idea that Forge could destroy an environment so utterly, that nothing in it is safe anymore.
that said, both townscreens have their own merits.

Excellent and well done townscreen. I can't say which one's better though, that posted by you or by don_komandorr. Let's just stay with two words for both projects: good luck!

Would it be theoretically (or practically lol) possible to replace Conflux with Forge in standard HoMM3? I realize that it would be a bit of work but wouldn't all the VCMI Forge files suffice? Then it's just a matter of renaming and replacing, etc...
How would one replace the town screen files though? To make them highlighted correctly and such?
If it isn't possible, what makes it so?
Thanks in advance

Why would anyone lose months in hex editing when you can either add it at new town in VCMI or effectively replace conflux in era.

VCMI supports 32-bit graphics. I hope Polish Team will not mess with 256-bit color and will use PNGs instead.
But if they use standard DEF files, then it can be made to HMM3 WOG by replacing.
PS As i remember, Modern Forge is an example of replacing town in HMM3 without WOG. But there is rumor that Ban Breaker lost sources

Well, yes a bit sassy, but is you who says "is just a matter of replace". While it is true that replacing graphics and names can be done easily, then you have the creatures abilities which are hardcoded and need hex editing, like sprite no retaliation, fly, all conflux immunities, heroes etc etc. So you imagine the mess.

I'm a fairly inexperienced modder when it comes to Heroes 3 (except for the standard renaming and replacing...) so I couldn't really grasp the width of the task as I didn't know any hex editing would be needed.
That's too bad though. At least it makes you more excited for HotA's Forge to be released.

Ah yes I remember that town. I wish he could have shared his course of action.
