i forgot to mention, that all wog options should be disabled, barring wog objects and mithril scripts. snow. i'll update the op.

The problem with DepositFiles is the slow download speed (hardly anyone has a premium account there for fast downloads).
really? i never have a problem with depositfiles.
@ sal: don't bother, that snow is for the birds, and they'll just find a way to remove it later.

The .gif is from the modified emerald tower script (Mad Scientist).
that gif file replaces the gif file in the wog mod. if it was png, i doubt it would replace the other file.

The picture doesn't have to replace any file since the directory of the picture is defined in your script. Speaking of that, the latest image for WoG scripts - Emerald Tower is at this location:
...ModsWoG ScriptsDataspicemerald.bmp

i didn't change that, just included a file to overwrite the original.
i updated the op with the wog options i use(and what you'll want to use for the maps, except the mithril scripts. turn those on, too).

I know you didn't. It's the update of WoG Scripts that changes the directory. You can get the latest here.
Please consider force disabling or enabling options that you believe is critical to the gameplay by using UN: P command, as Perry showed here. Also, please upload a saved .dat of your WoG options. It could be very helpful

Fred, if you don't mind, below is the invitation link to the discord server, where most of the modders and a fairly large audience are located. There you can quickly find help or even testers for the map  we will be glad to see you there!

i wish you guys would've let me know this before i made the upload; i scarcely have the hours to remake the mod with all these specifications, as i'm now in college. i'll upload the .dat file for the op, but the extensive work needed for a real fix will have to wait until i get more important snow done.
which dat file is that in the era 3 folder, specifically? i don't want to make any more mistakes that i'll have to go back and fix.

Modifications will go much faster if Archer does them, if he got the time. Then you just upload the mod he handles to you. He is erm wizard.

Fred, I think if there ever is a point where the random map generator can evolve to a setting where your artistic style is implemented in each map generation, then that would be amazing!
Like a button in the menu after the map sizes that reads "F79", and we would all know that the random maps made would have that higher attention to detail that you put in place. Maybe a formula that has narrow pathways surrounded by specific terrains that as the distance from roads grow, the terrains shift to mountains or what not from a specific subset for each terrain. This would be known as "The Fred Effect" 
Great work!

if i'd've had these gurus as playtesters, that would have saved me having to improve the mod package itself after release. i did everything as i thought i had to before release. now i don't have the hour or so needed to recompile everything. i'm on a tight schedule. i just woke up from a nap i had to take because i only got 2 hours of sleep last night after i found out about the christmas parade attack.
i don't mean to come across short or ungrateful, but these issues could've been avoided, when i had time to work on it. now it'll have to wait. i have much more important things to do irl.
edit: it looks like i should have some free time this weekend. i'll see if i can make all the necessary beneficial changes then. i hope everything that's been posted here is all of the necessary changes i need to make, because i won't be wasting time optimizing the upload and mod a 3rd time.
so by all means, if there's anything you guys are leaving out, the time to let me know would be before then.

There isn't any dat file, you have to create one. However is very simple.
Open game and go in WoG option. Tick/untick anything compatible with your mod then click on the "save" icon at the bottom. It will let you enter a name manually, and that becomes a dat file that you have to ship with the mod.
Then let Archer to specify in the erm script that mod has to look for the dat, or add yourself at the start of erm script (after ZVSE)
!#UN:J3/^DataMydatname.dat^;
Then add in the readme.txt from the mod that players should load that file. The file is loaded the same way you create it, go in WoG options and click on "Load", then browse for the file.
Thats all.
@Edit: the forum coding does not display slashes so let Archer to write the code, the one above doesn't display correctly.

Oh! This is titanic work. I looked into LODs and it's a great amount of hard work compared to last object patch released.

edit: updated mod in op.

holy snow, i didn't realize depositfiles downloads at the speed of mayonnaise. i don't have access to the backup at the moment, so once i download it from df, i'll upload it to a different site and post the link. actually, i will try downloading it from the new link first to make sure anyone downloading my snow isn't growing a beard in the process. 50k/sec is trash.
ok, updated the op with a link that'll download 6x as fast. enjoy.
