thanks for the info, sal. off the top of my head, galaad and doc summan are two people who used my object patch for their maps. there are a few others, but not many more, from what i've seen.
i have 8 dead trees ready for clusters(including improving the original 3). just 44 more to go.

Yeah I did two maps with your object patch, two unfinished and one lost -last time I updated my system I backed everything up but my wog folder. 
Reading last few posts gives me some incentive to get back to it though.

I am still making some eye candy layouts from time to time, just for the love of it. Using your patch of course.
No playable map for now, because it would prevent me from doing some other stuff non homm related I need to finish first.
I can assure you, your topic is the one I am looking at first when I visit the forum, every 3 or 4 days. Sometimes, I'm just browsing it to look at your wonderful screenshots.
You deserve more love, man ! You are the best

thanks, man.
i've got 13 trees ready to go. it's been slow work for the last week due to particularly low morale. i haven't been motivated to do much of anything lately; i'm seriously disappointed and immensely disgusted with just about everything in life except the modding work being done here at hc, and it doesn't look like offline life is going to get better anytime soon. even my dreams lately have been horrible.

Totally work in progress and no idea when I'll get it done but I'll just post this and eventually update progress here to keep this great thread alive.

There was Doc Summan who designed an [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPHNurmOKME&t=26s]awesome map[/url] using this patch, but he needed a coder for many scripts which would have required a very long testing process, I hadn't the time for so I declined, then I don't know what happened, he never released his map, although 100% layout finished.
This one is amazing. Though it's not really my cup of tea (I prefer more vanilla maps, with fitting objects etc) but I really consider it as a piece of art. It has inspired me to experiment with 'fake' elevated terrains, so I've made a medium sized map setted in the times of timber wars (second one is under construction so i think it's gonna end as a first map of the tiny, three-scenario campaign):

@fred
Thanks, although I don't recall using shades, more like 1000 terrain layers.
@GrzegorzVII
I love your work! Looking forward to more of it

Really beautiful maps.
Are there any maps similar to these, fully released?

@Galaad
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I can post few shots of my ongoing works if you are interested.
@krs
thanks. Yes, the one from the screenshots above is finished (requires a lot of betatesting for sure, because I am really mediocre homm player I'm afraid that my maps are not too well balanced). Also it's the only map that I've made that is fully in english. I can post it later today in maphaven if you are interested.
I have also a fully finished XL (played it with my wife a few times), but I will have to translate all of the events from polish before posting it:

Those are some beautiful screens; very nice use of different colors and environment mixing. Unfortunately, future versions of my patch will be isolating the autumn trees to their own set; so you will have to go back and fix your maps if you want to use the future patches with your maps. I would suggest making another install folder first, copying/pasting your maps from the old patch folder into the new, and matching your maps by having both map editors open and making necessary changes to the maps with 1.3- installed; in order to preserve your work. I've had to do the same thing with all 3 of my xl campaign maps as i update the graphics. It's a hassle, but it keeps things more organized.

@ ghost: i want to do all the seasons and terrains, including the ocean(i've been thinking alot about the translucent ocean these past few days). I have so many plans i haven't realized yet...
I am currently working on fixing the branches of the 1st 17 dead trees i did, to make them as visible as the first tree's branches(i have 12 more of them to fix). After i'm done doing that, i'll continue using that formula on the rest. I may make one cluster def, layer it, and post a screenshot to display progress if i get access to the internet.

something to tide everyone over until i make a dead tree cluster def for a screen:
i did more work on all the dungeon dwellings(including two versions of the manticore dwelling and a regular version of the shadow dragon dwelling) except the dragon's gold, and added the stalagmites for water.
----
after making the first cluster def, it looks like i will have to use different shades and contrasts for different terrains, because what i have now only looks decent on grass.

Because that's not true? . My girlfriend can't stand the combat music and sounds of Heroes 3, so when I am playing it, she can't stand around for too long - the perfect solution to a quiet evening of playing  .

She told me recently she hopes I never have to experience what it's like to have an ex . If Heroes is the only thing she dislikes ... hey, I am actually getting her to watch Star Wars and at least she's not considering it half-bad .
But that's totally off-topic ... as for your graphics work, it's good as ever, Fred . Hopefully you'll be able to get through your roadblocks again soon and find the motivation waiting at the other end to carry on with this designing you're doing (and everything else, of course ).
