Yeah, both Angel & Archangel were made in a 'classic' way (roman?). And I like them 1000 times more than the Ashan version.

And as they said above, it's already iconic of RoE.

As mentioned before, angel/archangel is to iconic to have his appearance changed.
I can also say that angels in both images are just too ornate. It would be perfect choice for H6 (or H5), but not for H3.
I really like the original, somewhat low fantasy creature designs in H3, so I'd stick to current angels, but...

There is one problem with archangels. Take a look at their animation. You'll notice that their wings are sprouting from their... well, loins and travel up and down their back during animation. I haven't seen anyone else being bothered by or even noticing it, but it still counts as graphical glitch I think.

You're quite right, it's definitely seem as an artistically shortcoming.

I made a rough image of how it might look like if fixed.

Red

During the new idle animation the wing tips sticks together into a whole without a line separating them; this looks somewhat glitchy to me when seen during the animation.

Blue

Gray pixels on the wing shoulder. I guess it's a tiny wrong.

BUG

Got a crash when trying to cast advanced level clone on the COVE town hero with clone specialty. Looks like an easy fix?

First CRASH window popped up. Then after I close that this popped up:

DirectDraw Error (16385):

'DDERR_UNSUPPORTED'"

File: 'C:\Dev\Heroes 3 Exp 2\Game\WINGRAPH.CPP'
Line: 347

Are you using HD mod by chance? I've reported clone crashes with Eovacius using HD mod. I don't *think* that the directdraw error '16385' has anything to do with the cause of crash itself. That error seem video related in itself, probably because of the crash, although, I don't get this error. What version of Heroes 3 are you running?

Pixel report (by the pixel police? )



There's noticeable pixel artifacts present in the Cove sky.

Edit: I don't know if such artifacts are caused by an limiting factor or of they're actually a 'bug'.



There's a rough outline present in the marked area (Inferno sky), although very hard to notice even when knowing it. I almost feel bad about pointing this one out. I think this can be ignored.



There's some visible artifacts present around the buttons (part of them).

That's due to the Heroes 3 colour palette (256 colours).

Okay I see, moving on. It's still a very beautiful sky, so whatever. I thought Heroes 3 used a 16-bit palette, though.

Pixel report



Some random variance on the grass terrain doesn't blend particularly well with the surrounding grass palette. Tiny thing, but I guess I like reporting stuff.

Yeah, I agree. That's just being too picky. I Would prefer if players would focus on more major issues.

Guys, just let him report all this stuff. One of HotA's tasks is to fix Heroes 3 graphical errors. There of course are some worse problems, but reporting such minor glitches is also important if HotA Crew already fixes several things.

Maybe it'd nice to improve the portrait background of some creatures. For instance here, the Inferno castle looks as if it has been just pasted from another picture.



thank you, very helpful


by the way, new creature backgrounds:


and with the original ones http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5981/wbgz.jpg

Beautiful work. The Dungeon picture is switched btw, I think. The one on left in the picture with the originals ones is actually the new one, no?

Sure, but maybe the crew wants such reports in another thread. If so, that's up to them to make such a thread.

Please report this into newly created topic: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=39912

And about that postscriptum: of course saves of new version are not compatible with the previous one, too many changes were made, that affected save format as well

While the ones for Tower, Conflux and Fortress are decidedly better I prefer the castle hills of the old Castle, Stronghold and Necropolis ones.
The new ones look somewhat bulldozed/flattened out.
Well, nothing to lose sleep over.
The foreground of the new Rampart one looks actually less detailed, somewhat like golf course turf.

Ok, it seems, that a problem of multiple threads is not an easy one, so I created a few more topics. Pixelreports, bugrepots. Maybe custom maps will get a topic as well

Hota and WOG

Not sure where to post this, but I have two questions, would be grateful if you'd point me in the right direction please.

1. Can I install WOG Heroes 3.5 over a Heroes 3 Complete plus HOTA installation so that I can play wog maps as well as the Hota ones?

2. Struggling with the second part of the Hota campaign and though I've found the hota cove strategy thread, I can't find anything about this campaign specifically, is anyone else finding the same?

Many thanks.
