What about three missing artifacts from the original Heroes? Have those files been overwritten by new WoG artifacts perhaps?
I believe monsters power, magic wand and gold tower arrow (or something) replaced those three artifacts.

About the Gnoll thingie - it IS used - it acts just like any other ordinary gnoll dwelling. It appears on one SoD map I think. So I guess we won't be changing it. Let it remain as an easter egg  .
About those 3 artifacts - yes, as far as I know, the first 3 WoG artifacts have taken their place - though there was nothing to take really. Their pictures are still in the game - as in just some signs, without any real graphics. So there's no way we can use them

Same here. I was playing with Paint and Defmaker one afternoon and animated several frames.
I've liked the idea of having a black panther in the game (Drizzt, anyone...?  ). I found a detailed study of the cat's movement on the web. Finally, I re-colored and re-sized those images to get a .def file of the panther running. It still needs work, though. LOL 
Actually, I was put off by the amount of work. It is not a hard thing to do, so I suggests Bigjoker give it a try (you seem to have a lot of enthusiasm and free time as well ).
I am interested in creating a new object, even if for personal use only. I understand it would be much easier to do than a completely new creature. So I imported a gif file from Age of Wonders 2 (the leprechaun) into Paint, edited several frames and created a def file. It took me less than an hour, although I wasn't quite satisfied with the final result .

I was just curious. I know we already have enough varieties of sharpshooters so I never sent it in to the team, but I made something called night sharpshooters. They're black cloaked sharpshooters. They turned out really nice though...I also made a new artifact called the fire gem, it turned out nice too, but I haven't sent that one in either. I'm a 3-d artist so I'm working on making a couple of original creatures from scratch, but so far I'm running out of ideas...

Well, it's a black Sharpshooter. I, for one, like it, even if it's just a re-colored creature and as such wouldn't make it to 3.59 patch.
I've downloaded the files... What can I do with them? Can I install the new graphics (and how)?

yes I know it's only a recolored creature, It was only a test to begin with. After i solved the pallette problem. To use it, ifyou want to replace the reg sharpshooters, you need to get some tools. Go to Arsthad's Web page to get those. You'll also need to rename the files before you use them, they need to be named the same as the original Sharpshooter files. I can post the names later if you want.
As for pallatte settings, what graphic program are you using? You need to be able to save and load pallattes. You see, there are 10 system colors that have to come first on the pallatte. This is for transparancy reasons. Then just save as Bitmap, and you should be able to compile them just fine. What version of def maker are you using. If it still doesn't work, or if this is all just too confusing, You can email them to me in a zip file with a text doc explaining the order of pics and where to put breaks.
