quick question: is there a possibility of getting access to the editor/map-maker without buying the game? I'm feeling like testing it out.
I don't think I'm liking where this is heading...

Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to note that [url=http://www.hommdb.com]HoMMdb[/url] now accepts maps and mods for older HoMM games aswell. I know everyone's busy with the patch (gonna test it myself now), but feel free to upload your older content to the site whenever you have the time 
Edit: Thanks Pawek, got it now

I'd be amazed to see this site fly. Awesome work!
Uploaded a little mod of mine for HoMM2. Probably, I'll even update it sometime.
The only thing that worries me is that all files are put on someone's Dropbox. Do you use a business account?
UPD. Seems that I broke something. The viable release is the one having a cropped logo in the square. It seems that I will have to design a specific picture for your site - adding transparent PNG or GIF (not even telling about the lack of automatic image resizing like on ModDB.com) results in a total mess.

Oh, I've discovered a small bug with minimaps in the "Maps" section. You should check it out.

Yeah I'm using Dropbox at the moment (not a business account) for the uploads, as I don't have any idea how much space and bandwith the files are going to take. This way I'm making sure my host account does not end up shut down because of going out of the limits. I'm looking into better options after I have a clearer picture what the traffic will be. After the file has been published, you are able to change the file url in the edit menu and host the file yourself if you like. You're also able to change the image.
I'll see if there's anything I can do about the image problem, the transparency seems to cause trouble there.

Seems so, I'll look into that aswell.
Thank you for your active feedback!

Well, 2 (or even 16) GB of standard Dropbox space may not be enough, especially if someone decides to mirror any WoG-based mod there. H3 has a large pantheon of mods which may definitely take some space.
There is an alternative allowing a lot more space if you are interested.
A feature with a custom link is also good.
UPD. Hey, nevermind. All WoG/Era mods for H3 are currently hosted on Salamandre's website. Since it has paid space and your site has design, it would be nice to have both resources working in synergy. What a genius I am
In short words, there shouldn't be any problems with H3 mods in general.

That works absolutely fine, the custom url can link straight to those files. I'll add an option to include the url when submitting the information.
And I fixed the minimap problem

Does the mod work in 1.2.1?
I had a funny glitch when attacking a dragon utopia that I do not know if it's a regular bug or the scale mod somehow affected it. My troops started in the middle of the battlefield(used to be different I believe?) and while emerald dragons were in their corner, all other dragons were occupying the same central 2x2 spot, mingling with my army. I forget if any of my units occupied that particular spot but all dragons but the emerald ones were crammed in it. And of course they could not act or be targeted. When I killed the emeralds the battle was won with only emeralds displaying a negative number.
I suspect they were having a hug party and the emeralds were left out

I will design my site, I am just terribly lazy when it comes to such things. But last week I got a professional to show me the basics and will probably see him next week, during the holidays. For now what is important is that we have space. A lot of space.
Now I am more annoyed with imageshack, they wrote me and sent their new policy, starting with 1st of november. All pics on free accounts will be gone, all. Which consists in about 80% of wog forums advertising.
Will look like Chernobyl.

This is not caused by the mod, as I had it too and I don't use it. This is a bug with the battlefield layout changes that they made. I kinda hoped / expected that it was a one-time fluke, but since you experienced the same, it's definately an ingame bug.
They also changed the Shantiri battlefield to have the Titans in two opposing corners and the Golems spread around the outer perimeter. Makes it more deadly too.

Yup. You even don't need to reinstall it. Patch 1.2.1 didn't affect modified files.

Probably a bug introduced with the change in unit placement then. It was a good change

Actually we can copy the MOD files to
"£ÜMy Documents£ÜMy Games£ÜMight & Magic Heroes VII£Ü"
"£ÜMy Documents£ÜMy Games£ÜMight & Magic Heroes VII£ÜMMH7Game£ÜCookedPC£ÜVisuals£Ü¡±
Mod works in here, and then we don't have to backup files, easily to delete/disable, also convenient for edit.

Just updated the mod. Added compatibility with patch 1.4.1 and slightly decreased size of Air Elemental. And I still urgently require feedback about warfare units sizes. Especially siege warfare.
