finally redid the cursed ground terrain over the weekend(and all the terrains associated with it). i just now remembered to post an update, lol:
edit: images removed.
i was able to finish it after seperating the bones(which i did to remake the bone fields) and everything else entirely from the "hd" version of the cursed ground def, then duplicating and blending the base terrain; and then adding the bones back in in different patterns while making the actual defs. it was much easier that way. i left the axe, stones, and other indecypherable graphics out; which i think helps to clarify the defs themselves. i could add the axe back, but i feel it takes away from the semi-illusion of a non-repeating graphic.

see if you can spot all the different bone defs in this screen(you most likely won't be able to, as i have a hard time finding them all myself)

@ galaad: thanks.
finally got around to fixing the godawful witch's hut. i did the most work on the original model, but the roof was still garbage; so i cut the roof off of the hd version, did some work to it, and applied it to the old version. the end result:

@ warmonger: after you mentioned it and i kept thinking about what you said, i realized you were right: the obelisks needed sharpening. three screens of the improved obelisks:
edit: images removed.
oh, i also fixed the bone church yesterday(last night?).
----------
lol, figured a way to remove rain that has been added to a map(since you can't just delete it without removing everything "underneath" it). by making a temporary swap def, using my default.def(which i made because when you're trying to delete bulk objects from a map, the tiny 32x32 box doesn't do it, especially with the amount of layers that i use):

if you're referring to the newest stuff, then, yes. slowly but surely. i still have a long way to go though, to finish what i need for another release. i have sets of things that aren't complete; including my artifact graphics.

Indeed impressive. One might say obsessive behaviour even, but the results are amazing!
Maybe I should hand out a few QPs here and there throughout the topic .

Nope, I just haven't been checking the old heroes forums.

after realizing that i had the original enlarged version of the cursed terrain graphic(that i got from oxfea), i've started isolating the bones, so that i can make a bone fields battlefield. i'm also cutting the bone field terrain defs out atm.
edit: done cutting the bones out of the enlarged version. i'll be able to make bone pile obstacles with these, as well.
edit 2: still working on the battlefield. i had mistakenly made an 800x374 fill layer, when i needed an 800x556 fill layer; but i worked with it, and now only have to break up the pattern. i still haven't found a decent background yet(and i'm not really sure what i want as a background, visually. i may make a few iterations), but i've found some decent background decorations.
edit 3: bone field battlefields(work so far):
edit: image removed.
they're work in progress. i want to make them more ominous, but i can't really find the right backgrounds. i will still probably add decorations for the backgrounds, but i'm wondering if impaled skulls should be a part of bone fields(which add skeletons to necromancer's armies)...
------------
currently updating my lod: trimming the excess that hasn't been replaced with better versions(or new defs) yet, and any defs that i just don't want or use anymore; all to prepare for my campaign release(which is still far off, but this has to get done before release, since the lods will be included).
-----------
fixed the bone church and the swamp wog mountain(the off-color stairs had been bugging me for awhile). i have the first two campaign maps nearly complete, minus the stories and various events that tie into the storyline; so i should be able to give them some play-throughs soon, to test playabilities and difficulties(before further scripting).
------------
improved my halfling hollow, and continued working on a campaign map:
edit: image removed.
------------
it's funny how, when i need to get some sleep, that it turns from "a couple more minutes", to "a couple more minutes", to "snow it, i don't need to sleep tonight"; when i have work to do tomorrow, but i'm having too much fun working on my maps.
