One aspect I really like is the rocks in the water. They look cool with the steam. I suggest you make it more volcano like. They don't erupt like that. It needs to be more powerful.

Right now it looks like a child's drawing. No offense.

That's after an explosion! Before they are covered in forest. Or whatever the landscape is.

I went to Mt. St. Helens last year (volcano is the US). They showed all the before pictures.

The chunks being spewed out look bad, like just floating rocks, and why is there a hole in the middle of the explosion?

No... use PNG.

The volcano looks good in the thumbnail but not up close.

Really bad.The terrain tiles you used is stupid.How can a volcano be there?Red and Green don't fit at all.

You are a douche. And a wrong one at that. Red+green = contrast which can look really good if used right.

Wand you messed it up.

Eruption sequence:
1- Few earthquakes, small or big ones.
2- It explodes, a LOT, yes A LOT of smoke and ashes in the sky and shit.
3- Ze lava and magma coming out.
4- Second explosion, the toxic cloud.

I've had a similar problem with certain doodads. My piece for the contest was corrupted. I couldn't click the cloud doodad. Which took up the whole terrain. : (

I had that too once, a few months ago. Had to reinstall WC3 completly again.

Hint: If you are reinstalling Wc3, put ALL your downloaded maps and your own in a other file so it doesn't get removed along.

A cool try with the floating rocks... but the part that really bothers me is the explosion, it looks irregular and doesn't really join. It needs to look more like a spew of lava being shot sky high. If that were the case, then this would be awesome.

Maybe like this...

edit: Oh, and nice lava trails. Impressively done to look like actual magma.
