Indeed the reflection cuts the water animation, but we have many tools to hide that. Try snow rain + clouds over, problem solved.

the problem with a lot of the pics on the net, is that douchebags like to put watermarks on their pics, so that i can't use them for the game.

I understand, but when I see that black hole under your icebergs, I fear the whole map will be sucked by

Hard, in heroes maps the sun is at south east. My imagination tells me that your map is about Alpha Centauri, with an orbit around two suns.

True iceberg.
Yes, this look like an iceberg.
This one too. Best up to now. Except shadow/reflection.

the reflection effect looks nice, i admit. but if it isn't animated, and it sits on an animated terrain... you see where i'm going with this? the reflected iceberg looks better right now because the picture isn't animated. if i could animate both, i would show you the difference. and keep in mind, if one water object was reflected, then they would ALL have to be reflected. the only problem i run into with the icebergs i make is that they look funny with an actual surface shadow, it takes away from the illusion of the object descending into the depths. but i'm not stopping anybody from making icebergs. everyone has their version of things, and salamandre has found a prettier iceberg than me, to be sure. i'll look around for ones from a better angle, to fit the angle of the game view better.

Can't you just make it a ccreature bank or dwelling, like Golem factory? No need to create a whole town just to attack it once in a game
But certainly it looks good.

the creature bank or golem dwelling is a good idea, i completely forgot about the golem dwelling. i may just do that instead, that would cut a TON of work, and would fit perfectly with 4 creatures. all that would be left is scripting... thanks warmonger.
update: i'm going to replace the elemental conflux dwelling instead. i've never liked it, but i actually like the golem factory def, so i want to keep that.

31. make more nude female prisoners, fighters, etc.
45. make nude sirens in groups.
those are the nudity-related ones(of 4 total) either not done, or started and not completed. but i bounce around, depends what i feel like doing. i took a break for a couple days, did some other stuff i needed doing, still not done even with that. then i did the spider castle def, scratched that one and started on a spider-nest dwelling def. i don't do anything in order. i attempted to re-do some more icebergs, but i've got 17 or 18 to go, and i REALLY don't feel like doing any more of them for at least a month. i'm gonna go to sleep now, i've been up for a long time.

seems you overlooked the posting
Status: Done. I skipped the 2 dwellings though, because i don't know how the game reacts when you have different objects with the same type/subtype. But that is only 2 of the objects. Others are renumbered and joined.
Fred79a.lod and Fred79a.txt
I use LodMerge to put the lod into h3sprite.log and a text editor to append the txt to zeobjts.txt.

It might be better to replace one of the water elemental dwellings. There are 2 of them. One is enough. And you can put 4 creatures to hire in any dwelling, not only golem factory or elemental conflux. At least as far as i know and erm help says.

But isn't it better to make it as Era mod(without merging lods)?
I remember you writing about not being able to install Era.
Fred,would you make the Era mod from these two files?

sure. i'll check to make sure the files are all there- i need to know what 2 dwellings that weren't added, tho. if all is good, then i'll just be adding stuff to this one and uploading it from now on. thanks for your work, siegfried.
EDIT: @ siegfried- did you overwrite some objects? because your combined patch has 795 objects, and when i combine both of my old patches, i get 838 objects, which leaves 43 missing, not just 2.

i also want to know if there is anyone here who has an "actions" option on their photoshop, one that can process different changes for multiple photos at once. i have both "snapActions" and "hidden power actions package 3" for my "photoshop elements 2", but i cannot get them to work right, even after reading the instructions. both appear to supposedly work while connected to the internet, but i'm not getting anywhere with either program.
more specifically, does anyone have a program that can take one photo, and apply all the changes/differences in that photo to all the other pics i specify? i really need help with this one, i have no income, and i cannot afford to buy another photoshop package.
it's for the attack spiders, if anyone's wondering.
