Whats the latest with Wog 3.58f
I have not been around Homm or Wog for some time now. I was wandering if Slava eve3r got round to verifying all the scripts and all the multiplayer issues are resolved now ?
Has interest in Wog Died with the release of Homm 5 ?
i used to be on the testing team, but nothing happened for so long that i gave up.
if i want to put Wog back on my pc haas 3.58f been updated in the last year so that i need ro download it again or is it exactly the same download as it was say 1 year ago?

The file is the same as it was 1 year ago. We're still trying to set up a new WoG web site but it keeps getting delayed as the site creators get busy with other commitments. However, there are a whole bunch of updated scripts (in perpetual beta testing) available through the wakeofgods yahoo group.
So the team's still working on it, fixing script bugs and making minor improvements to 3.58f scripts as well as writing new ones. There's also work on new towns by separate groups (but affiliated with the WoG team).
Slava worked a little bit on 3.59 but has been busy working on a commercial project (a turn based fantasy cell phone game called Strategonia) so he hasn't had time for WoG at all the past few months. He promises to return when he's done.
As for the MP issue with scripts, the only change is that I can now play online myself (thanks to a wonderful free program/service that I learned about called Hamachi that goes past routers with ease) and as a result, I was able to mostly fix a non-combat script bug or two. I think fixing of combat scripts issues to get them reliably working in MP is still beyond my skill, but at least I can help test and then make sure those scripts are disabled in MP combats if we can nail down which scripts are causing the problems.
I don't think Slava is likely to spend any more time on this issue himself for existing scripts, at least not in the near future. It's possible that a method will be found to automatically fix the MP combat script problems for 3.59 (Slava mentioned this possibility but wasn't certain yet). If not, there may also be other changes to 3.59 that would require further changes to the scripts to make them work in MP. Suffice it to say, unless I or another team member can fix them, I think the most we can do for 3.58f combat scripts (until the release of 3.59 in the distant future) is help test and disable them in MP combats.
I have been working on some other interesting scripts for MP but I'll tell you about them later if you're curious.

Y i cannot sart a new thread?
" Your post count is insufficient to make another new thread. You can reply to existing threads instead." what the meaning?
i seldom saw info. like above on other bbs.
what's the matter with my account? it seems different from others?
another problem is that when i log in on WOG page,it always redirects to homepage,which also hardly happens on other forums.

You can only have 1 thread per 10 posts. This is supposed to encourage thoughtful posting. If you want to ask a question, best to find a suitable thread for it and ask there.
Yes that 'navigating to home page' thing is a pain, I suggest pointing it out in Turban Tribunal (look on the forum list).
