don't download it now, it's not worth the newspaper i line the cages of my captives with(relatively speaking, anyway ). wait till the better version comes out.
and because the new version won't be compatible with the old(the version you can currently dl), of course.

slowly but steadily coming along on the patch. after working on the HotA trees, i have to go back and fix the 37 other tropical trees i did(plus the clusters), to bring them up to speed with the quality of the newest tree work.
once i'm done with them, i can go back to continuing work on the patch update. i'm still weeding through the extracted .lod for the objects that i have messed with, and worth sorting to upload. the other stuff will come later.
----------
i've been tailoring my sand castle, using the HotA sand dunes as a guide. still not done, but closer to the end result:

That sand castle is looking good, what happens when it rains though?  Does it work like dragon utopias or is it just decoration?
Can I download your patch now and add it to HotA or are they not compatible?

for now, the sand castle works as a dragon utopia(although it's not in the patch that is currently available); but once i learn scripting(or find someone willing to script my stuff properly), it's attributes will be changed. i have a lot to script. scripting'll come another day(most likely year, with my current workload).
as for HotA, i think they should work together? you could try and see with the currently available patch in this thread, then report back with the results. so far, that question hasn't been brought up. that i remember, anyway.

They can't work together. WoG based graphical mods can't work with HoTA, especially when their lod is renewed every time they do an update. Then their objects files txt are different.

The utopia looks great. What about making a special patch with objects retexturized for all terrains only?
So you keep the type/subtype and only change texture, so they can be used for design map. For example, library of enlightenment has snow version, but university not. Or utopia, or arena, or many others.
Just an idea.

Would we hope on a compatibility with HotA ?
I enjoy the objects, but I don't want to use ERA
And take this as a gift for the nice posts and objects you gave on this thread

4 posts back I write that there is no way to make them compatible right now and specified why. Yet you ask again because "you don't want to use era". This is like saying "I want to use a car as a plane because I don't want to use a car". Simply retarded.

i have been making objects specifically for certain terrains ever since i started modding, just not too many variances of pre-existing objects. i have different dragon utopia's made for different terrains already, and i have been expanding on other objects(more with overgrown swamp stuff, though). i've just been preoccupied with other things, which is why this one particular idea hasn't seen complete fruition. i'm always expanding what's available, though. just not script-wise.
i could post all my currently typed-out plans(i have more that aren't typed out, but are just raw graphics/pics categorized in folders); maybe some other people could take up some of the slack for me. like the HotA team did with the HoMM2 sand dunes(not intentionally, but hey, i'll take what i can get). what i want to do is really a lot, for just one guy.
for instance, i have 7 individual trees still left to fix, of my own tropical beach/swamp trees, before i can even fix the clusters. and i started that as soon as i was done working on the trees for the HotA team. it's hard to stay on task and streamlined, when there's so much i can work on. and on top of all that, i have the patch to update. even with all the free time i have, it's a huge workload.
but i know you're a workhorse as well sal, so i'm preaching to the choir here.

Yes, Sala, I saw. I asked if we can HOPE in a compatibility. With hard work of course, I think there could be a hope and a compatibility. Only if Fred decides to work to convert it. Homewer, I'll just sit in my bank

and i'm constantly adding new artifact graphics and making plans for them(sorry, lw). i really have my scripting work cut out for me(this doesn't even include the new objects/terrain patches i want to script).
...which leads me to a question: is it possible to make a consumable resource that acts like an artifact(only for a specified time)?

did you got emerald to work?   I didn't succeed, did all the steps, but for some reason the artifacts weren't added, couldn't add them to map editor, couldn't set them from by additional commands, the game crashed if I tried to add a new artifact to the hero via scripts. How did you do that? Would you be so kind to show me? Thanks in advance

oh man, sorry i raised your hopes(not my intention at all). this is only a list of my plans for artifacts/resources. none of this has been implemented yet.
are these plans all for naught? i had thought that modders were adding artifacts... are they only able to replace them? forgive me if this has already been answered, i have a lot on my mind.

As far as I can tell, HotA added new ones, they didn't replace any existing ones. Perhaps someone on their team can tell you how they did it.

if it was via coding, i doubt they would be able to explain it to me(i have no coding experience). i'll ask, though. thanks, maurice.
----
on a patch-related note, i just finished sorting through my lod and getting all my stuff seperated and organized. 4,424 defs(most likely less, as i want to fix what isn't done) in all. that excludes what i thought wasn't fit for release(some of my old stuff; stuff from other games that doesn't really match HoMM3, etc).
