Map editor is working, just when you give a town or a hero armies there aren't the right names for the creatures, so you must experiment a bit wich creature is wich in the game.

@TheOne and Zeki
As revolut1on mentioned most of the users that downloaded the mod got it working fine. It's been six months and there are like 30 people that couldn't make it work. I can't know what went wrong with each and every one of them.
But anyway, that's why I decided to post a standalone version. You'll just have to wait a week longer.

In HoL v3.0 I had only the first part of the tale included. In a week you'll get the other four campaigns, including the Crimson Tides campaign that introduces the sea creatures faction.

Sorry, I didn't screw up on the installation of HOMM3, WOG or HOL. There were no errors. I've done this many many times as I've said to test things out. Clean installs, VM installs, minimal background tasks running, etc.
Yes, I'm aware that many have gotten it to work without any issues. That does not mean that there aren't issues with it for some players like us. I've been around for ages, as it's the only game I play now, but just recently registered to try to help a few people having the same issues as I am.
The very fact that the errors are exactly the same for users with the issues should already be a concern. I'm not asking for anything really, just trying to support those that have already commented on the problems and what I've been able to deduced so far without having to do more.
One of the questions, rather requests, I have from this is if any of you can do a fresh install with the mods and see what happens. Install the game, no pirate copy or anything, in default folder. Apply wog 3.58f then apply HOL mod. Run with a random XL map with the default configuration and see what you get. I'm already suspecting memory is a culprit as I found the same WOG game file doesn't crash on one system but does on another, that and the simple act of a NPC character just being a grid off and not triggering the ballista crash. Anyhow, just observations no hard proof of either.
The installation shouldn't take too long on a recent PC, and you can always renamed the folder before installation to keep your original game set up. If anyone does this, let me know how it goes please.

Actually, i have installed HoL on different computers and what i have noticed is that the errors occur when the scripts or objects are not up to date. For instance there was a script update (v1.9 if i recall correctly) and an adventure object update.
In the standalone version i have updated wog thoroughly and so it works. It should work on any other computer too.

I have that new object patch, but what's that script update?

It will be Tuesday in a few hours here in Greece so I thought I'd post the links for HoL v3.1
Go to the front page and download it. Note that the Standalone version has a kind of different installation.
Anyway, I hope you like it and I await your comments.

AAh, finally I can play this awesome new Mod
It's really good that you've made a stand alone version  , coz my wog is very messed up how it seems and not really up to date. 
First I'm goiing to make my normal Wog work normally, then I'm going to test your mod.
So far I can say that the back and forth upgrading how it's now is really good. And I like the new Conflux.
Also a grand atvantege of the stand alone is, that there aren't that errors poping up.

Hi
Is there a possibility to download Heroes of Light 3.1 Expansion (with sea-creatures oriented faction)?
The title you're still only 3.0 downloadable.
And sea-creatures are just a campaign, or even in random maps?
thanks for the reply

Heroes of Light Mod
What a great job! Thanks from all of us that love WOG and were dissapointed with Horn of the Abyss and have been waiting years for something new like this. A couple of issues, I notice when I go to recruit Peasants in the Castle it immediately crashes. Also, sometimes the battle options come and go at the beginning of combat. And, is the Warlords Banner active? And my brother and I are not sure what artifact goes to what creature when you right click. There is a blank "slot" that in the old WOG took the Warlord's Banner, looks like it accepts some other artifact specific to that creature. Thanks!

@Bushido
What do you mean? HoLv3.1 is available.
As for the Sea creatures they are available through WOG dwellings and found on the map as well.
@Cathman
Try the Standalone version.

A little tip (for stand-alone): if you wanna install also some other mods on it (for me it was New interface, wouldn't install gameplay changing mods cuz this won't work), you should install it into the 3DO folder cuz else it doesn't intall correctly or at all.

Well, that's the point of the standalone version. If you want you can extract it on the 3DO folder (and replace when asked) and then it would replace WOG.
If you want to keep WOG and play HoL then it has to be in another folder. It still upgrades normally, you can install any other mod (you just have to place the installation to the correct folder).

Yes, yes, I know. What I meant was, that one could do it in the 3DO folder, but don't replace the existing files (that's what the normal version is for) but rename it like "heroes 3 complete HOL" or something like that; because when I tried to install the new interface (and i had typed in the right path) it just didn't install properly or at all.

Oh, you're right, I still haven't played, I've just looked if the overall graphics were changed.
But why is that happening? In the last version it worked well.

I downloaded the Hol standalone thing, and it doesn't work. I followed the instructions, and upon entering the game, the menu screen is black and when I click on the new game button, it crashes with a LONG error message ;S which eventually shuts down the game...

I don't know why that happens. I have tested the standalone version and it works. Try the regular installation.

what is Era? I didn't want to download the 3.0 version as there's the 3.1 with new creatures, but there doesn't seem to be a normal version of 3.1?
