I don't see a reason for that, but I don't see why not. Just add a note, a link or whatever that they are a part of the patch and can be downloaded/installed/whatever....

well - it means that someone or something (a virus?) has deleted/changed the WoG registry entries in your system (you might as well have just moved your wog directory somewhere).
Sollution:
Try to put the file new_upg.wog in your DATA directory and run H3wUpd.exe.

Oh, well in THAT case your file didn't just download correctly. Try to download again. And I would appreciate if you say what error message did EXACTLY show up. I bet it wasn't a message about WoG itself, but about a WoG FILE (.wog file probably).

Hmm, I think the .wog file shoud be placed in .\Update folder or H3wUpd.exe won't find it.

of course  Sorry.
PS. I'm afraid, the 'New Upgrades' patch will not be available any more this month. It has used up over 8 gb of transfer in two weeks time and there is no technical possibility of using up more.
If anyone has some extra bandwidth and web space to help out and host these files, please contact me.

Well I think this script it's good but I don't like that
some towns benefit more then the others. It's very nice to have those 8 level monster in every town and the look of the new efreets and minotaurs.

THE patch
A short review:
1. (THE PATCH) Its clearly stated that main purpose of patch was introducing of new building mechanic that allows 2nd upgrade to some units (That part was done wery well and i havent encountered any bugs or problems with it yet).
2. (NEW UNITS) 6 new units introduced are by far better than 6 that were replaced (elementals look very good, efreet and medusa as well, though i kinda dislike the size of blood minotaurs and looks of new basilisk.. also medusa shoold stick to arrows instead of firebolts).
3. (UPGRADES) Though upgrades with 6 new units look cool, and even some old ones (boars, mummies and ghosts fit in perfectly), many others were just so ridiculous that they made me uninstal the patch (Silver pegasus-->sorceres). (I realise that they were mostly put there just as placeholders for future,we hope better fitting units, and to check if the main patch mechanic is working, but im under impresion that they should have been left out, because that would made this patch extremely valuable (in patch terms)) 4 average wog players.
4. (LVL8 Units) I still think that LVL 8 monsters r way too overpowered and with this patch they practicaly become even more usable/powerfull (imho, this patch should lower HP bonus compared to Upg.LV7 units to +50% instead of +100%, and reduce cost to compensate),.. they just make low level units look like cannon fodder (H4 syndrome)
-RECAP: Overall, the patch served the purpose, has very good upgrading mechanic, but its clear that it was meant to be sort of beta-test 4 the mechanic and NOTHING MORE, which reminds me of Linux in a way ... develop for developers,... but then consumers (players) have little use of it..
Final Rating 8/10

well yasmiel, thank you very much for the review and although you may not like this - you are a bit mistaken at one point. The not-so-great () upgrades were there not just to show the possibility of upgrading, but rather for maxing out the upgrading possibilities for all towns, as well as balance issues (3 upgrades for EVERY town). I only saw one thing that could be done instead at the time, and that's just to give every town only 2 upgrades. But then I thought that the fun factor would be greater nonetheless if a third upgrade possibility would be also introduced, although not all of them would fit in (f.e. you could finally have a second shooter at rampart and get to know the sorceresses' magic abilities better (as they change with their increasing number in a stack)) .
As I can see - I was mistaken as you said that those upgrades made you uninstall the patch.
Anyway, I can see that a second script version with the usage of some commanders' sprites (as second upgrades) may be usefull for some players afterall.

Hi,
AcidDragon I have a question for you,
Say the Night Elf town is completed and someone installed it. If that person already had your patch, I suppose that he would get a Santa Gremlin for Coutle's third level and Gold Golem for Rhyno's third level, yes?
How can that be solved?
