Warcraft III Lich Mod

[Forever_Zero]

I ported over the model and animations of Lich from Warcraft III into Heroes of Newerth. The animations don't loop very well and the texture isn't very good, but the main problem that's keeping me from completing this mod is that it doesn't seem work outside of practice mode(edit: works now).

The mod is currently using the spell effects from IVaCH's Frost Rider (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=41309) mod. I hope he doesn't mind.

Edit: Released! (http://www.mediafire.com/?wz3y1ihmmdt)

Problems:

Stand animation doesn't loop quite right
No bones which means no item or shield effects
Portrait Looks silly
Death animation looks silly
Texture on the robe fragments a bit

Other notes:
Spell sound effects aren't the same as they are in dota
Voice sounds are a tad quiet

Update:, BlacRyu has released an improved version of this mod, quoting his post below:

Worked on it a bit and got team colors and some effects done, I won't be adding any bones to the model though since blender just confuses me.

Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J02-3BU7cx0)

My problem is that whenever I try to use this mod in matches, the Plague Rider model is used instead of the Lich model. It works perfect in practice mode.

The mod is currently using the spell effects from IVaCH's Frost Rider (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=41309) mod. I hope he doesn't mind.

Also in a slightly unrelated problem when I try to edit the "modelscale" value in the hero.entity file, I get a "This feature is unavailable in matches" error upon starting a match, and Plague Rider completely disappears from the hero select screen. Is this value protected or something?

If anyone is knowledgeable about this sort of thing and interested in helping, PM me and I'll send you a download link.

Pretty sweet.

About the entity thing, you cannot edit entity files and use them in official games. It was made that way in patch 2.64 because of an exploit.

[BlacRyu]

I've changed entity files before, although some people do seem to have problems with it, it seems to be kind of inconsistent. I can try to take a look at the mod if you want though.

And very nice work.


edit:
Mkay, the reason it isn't happy with the entity file is because you had different values for his attack damage and agility gain, I'm guessing those were changed in a recent patch and you didn't use the new file. Changing the modelscale should be fine. I'll see if I can test it in a replay if I have one.

[Jeseera]

Those are some sexy spells. I like it :D However Copyright is a bi@tch. The folks @ S2 can probably make something similar.

Copyright won't matter unless he tries to sell it to us.


Edit: tested it online and it seems to work fine.

Really? Could you post the files you used? I tried updating the .entity files and it still wouldn't let me in matches. What all did you do?

Edit: Oh, just read your PM.

Edit: Oh, just read your PM.
Yeah all I really did was the entity file change, also make sure the diseasedrider folder is inside of the heroes folder, I think the problem you're having is that your entity file is in a different folder from the original one, so it see's 2 heroes with the same name and it doesn't know which one to use.

Awesome. I really appreciate it. I'll probably release the first version of this mod early this week once I add the voices and the icons.

Also, I'm not sure how much you know about modeling, but this mod will suffer from the same issue that my Savage2 imports had with effects not appearing from buffs/debuffs unless the proper bones are added to the model and animations.

Also I might work on some effects for this if I can find the time.

Now I'm certain we'll be seeing a full port of DotA once we get our hands on the map editor :)

[Zka_]

Wow!! A full Dota model port.. amazing, even beyond amazing, looking forward to it.

[Jotain]

Looks cool. I wish someone would do bloodhunter -> bloodseeker, because it was best looking hero in dota.

[EmperorTeepo]

Amazing.

You and BlacRyu are by far the best custom modders here.

If only you guys could make ophelia into chen, that would be awesome

[Yuichi]

So the main question should be:
How did you port the animations?
Ive tried just about everything with no luck :/

Also like BlackRyu said it will need some bones to be able to work well.
Its not hard to add those bones.
Its just annoying to do because you have to edit every animation too...

[Creep666]

awesome!

[AngryN00B]

dl link :P?

[sturmfavst]

a working dl would be awesome :D

[Day7]

omg!!! great!!;D
please create more!:) don't stop=)

[Rexz]

e to the pic!!! i want it now :D

[dallenOo]

Awesome! I hate plauge rider's model as it is now.

[Hand`0f`God]

Looks cool. I wish someone would do bloodhunter -> bloodseeker, because it was best looking hero in dota.

Best looking hero in dota is terrorblade/magina imo

[Sye]

amazing job, looking forward to the mod

[JeDaH]

Amazing work. can't wait

[DtMage]

Looks like torturer :p

[MaxGhost]

Very, very nice. I can't wait to see other mods like this.

[Barba`Pula1]

[ChaGan]

nice man, btw can u model edit the spellanimation from items (aka shrunken head --> AVATAR!:D)

[discodude]

btw, i have the lich voice mod in my computer (i made it, but never bothered to release, but im using it when i play, liked lich s voice in dota), if you want to incorporate it in this mod, just tell me, ill put it online

[IVaCH]

The mod is currently using the spell effects from IVaCH's Frost Rider (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=41309) mod. I hope he doesn't mind.

Don't worry, your work is awesome, anyone is free to use my mods for doing any other thing.

[Creep666]

total conversion for gayrider = orgasmic
good job!

[song_tinh]

I think convert Blizzard Model to S2 Model is possible...
We can use BlizzImporter: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=92856 to import and S2 Exporter :p

[Lex]

When i tested this (quick practice game) there was no lich :(. It was just a snowish blob on the ground, Not sure if i fail or that it does not work anymore. will look into it in australian morning

[Day7]

Whhhoooaaa!!!
We need 2 fast mods:
Moon Bug -> Luna ^_^
Swiftgay -> Yurnero!

[Creep666]

@completelyBob

set your Model Quality to high. the low and medium versions are bugged

[Warchamp7]

You and BlacRyu are by far the best custom modders here.

That stings Teepo, it really does.

On topic, this looks pretty awesome.

[Forever_Zero]

Thank you. This makes me feel a lot better.

Yeah, this is what I used to get the model/animations into 3DS max. Only version 1.00 worked for me though.

Everyone else: Thanks for the compliments. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

If I do another hero, It will probably be Anti Mage, but I'll probably be busy with school until the end of the semester.

Also, anyone is free to update or make their own versions of this mod.

[Day7]

Zero, please, made Luna, when you will be free=)

[DtMage]

Luna would be awesome, I've always hated that bug thingie....

[EchoX]

Drow ranger!!

[discodude]

Luna would be awesome, I've always hated that bug thingie....

i might start working on her when the exams are over, i already have her voice done and imported in a .s2z, as she sounded like a 4 years old girl, but i defenitly want to make her look like Luna again. imma make i thread in the following weeks

[Kyll3R]

Luna, Mirana and Drow Ranger ftw!

I really would like to see the Pandaren Brewmaster (will the Flurry animation work?)

@Day7
I just said what i would like to see and not what you would prefer.
So i would still like to see the Pandaren Brewmaster

[CptJHarkness]

PUCK as Wretched Hag

[MaxGhost]

PUCK as Wretched Hag

What?

Akasha is Wretched Hag.

[Jaycoob]

it's supposed to be puck as maliken !

[BlacRyu]

it's supposed to be puck as maliken !
Nah it would have to be terrorblade, melee and transformation probly wouldn't work well on puck.

[ChaGan]

Nah it would have to be terrorblade, melee and transformation probly wouldn't work well on puck.
nah it should be a model like nymphora and then transform into a BIG Bang Boom ultra fat monster or demon

[l_PaCMaN_l]

it show a tiny dragon when i use this

[Day7]

@Day7
I just said what i would like to see and not what you would prefer.

:pand: - great already
:moon::swif::magm::hamm::vind: - dota models better

[Creep666]

:magm: and :hamm: are waaay better than sandking and sven in my opinion...


@topic have you fixed the lower polycount versions of your Lich yet?

[CptJHarkness]

What?

Akasha is Wretched Hag.

of course I know that. I meant Puck Model for Wretched Hag. Akasha model sucks. I just want my puck in the game

[Bolenator]

:magm: and :hamm: are waaay better than sandking and sven in my opinion...


@topic have you fixed the lower polycount versions of your Lich yet?

^ This


I'm dying to use this but my comp sucks :P lower quality ftw.

[BearCavalry]

I hate magmus' model, and I LOVE the Sand King model. Crix is one of my favorite heroes. You can't argue with a giant fuzzy scorpion.

Akasha needs to replace Hag. That should be priority #1 IMO, QoP's model and voice were awesome, and Hag's are both fairly weak.

[AlexXx888]

Super skin. I think it have brought me a reason to play plague rider.


PS. Hey guys can you reskin Glacius. I sooooo hate the Model and the ult animation.

[YawningAngel]

You are awesome.

[Damage]

SWEET!

[BlacRyu]

PS. Hey guys can you reskin Glacius. I sooooo hate the Model and the ult animation.I have two Glacius mods you can try out if you want; Savage 2 Revenant - Ice mod (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=73737) and Savage 2 Ice Cikle (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=64742)

[AlexXx888]

BlacRyu i have to admit the both are soo cool, but i realy wana see rylai in hon. (brings some old memories). 11/10 for the skins.

[ElementUser]

Amazing.

The only change I would ask for is to make Contagion/Frost Nova have the original WC3 Frost Nova sound on impact. Right now it sounds too crystally, IMO

[Etaphreven]

hey guys it doesnt work for me for some reason. my model is a teapot lol

umm why port dota?
port xherosiege ,td,warhammer40000td and other. .

[BlacRyu]

Updated my version, should work on medium and low qualities.

port xherosiege ,td,warhammer40000td and other. .
Those wouldn't benefit as much from the new engine. In fact TD's might need to be completely different since they are highly impacted by how pathing works.

And obviously DotA is more popular. Not that I don't like me some X Hero Siege once in a while.

[Ryuukun]

Awesome thank you, gonna use that.
Can't wait for more dota models with high textures.

I can make it if you dont know how to.

I like this mod so much, it is a must-have :D

[THEFINALBOSS]

Why not convert this model for Glacius? I think it would look great and fits better because this model has frost/cool like presence.

Can u import Nevermore PLZ? Its way better than SS...

Effects dont show on him because no one has bothered to add correct bones for Lich.
Bones are used as effect coordinates/startuppoints/anchor whatever you want to call it.

[Odysseus]

i hope u will make another hero

[Durandal_]

I could possibly add the bones

[Demigod`]

I could possibly add the bones
