Well, I have recently been reading about making your own hero textures. After seeing other peoples creative textures I've decided to give one ago.

I saw that there were none of Moon Queen :moon: currently so I felt it was necessary to try her. I've given her quite a evilish look.

I would like to know what you all think and if all goes well I will look into changing the spells and icons, thankyou.

Here are some screenshots of how she now looks:

And here is the new icon:

To Install:
Simply download http://www.mediafire.com/?gmukmfvnt2j and place it into the Heroes of Newerth game folder. The default locations for this folder are:

Linux: /home/<username>/HoN/game/
Windows 7: C:\Program Files\Heroes of Newerth\game\
Windows Vista: C:\Program Files\Heroes of Newerth\game\
Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Heroes of Newerth\game\
Mac:
1. Press Finder
2. Press Applications
3. Right click 'Heroes of Newerth', and press Show containing files
4. Open Game folder
5. Move file here

You will now have the Red Moon Queen texture. To disable it, simply delete resourcesTadpoleRedMoonQueen3.s2z or remove it from the game folder.

This mod does not overwrite any vital files.Constructive criticism appreciated.

EDIT: I've now attempted the first spell and have changed it to red, please let me know what you think. Also fixed the player colours a little but need to repost screenshots.

Also: Can someone tell me why the ability 1 icon in http://www.mediafire.com/?nmeyydioxjy won't appear?

EDIT 2: Now updated her texture, team colours moved, first and last spell colour changed and she now looks more evil.

certainly looks evil, for a red recolor. not bad!

although the icon seems to look screwed up, you need to correctly lineup the edges of the hairs. if ever your using it for the texture. ;)

Pretty good for a first attempt. I would recommend killing the player color or reducing it for this if you really want it to convey an 'evil' mood. Either that or make a majority of the skin neutral tones so they'll work with the player colors. That blue and red seems pretty harsh on my eyes, at least for the current example.

Hmm... The reason the colours stand out so much is because I've upped Digital Vibrance on my Graphics Card, the colours may not be as vibrant on other peoples computers.

Also, a question: How do I choose where the Team Colours go and how may I be able to to remove them from a particular space?

To change team colours edit the team.dds file : white are team coloured parts and black are not.

seems fine, but there are still some little parts where they are screwed, but it;s fine already, like it's noticeable!

This is fun, and not too shabby for your first mod!
Gimme a blood-red moonbeam, and I'll be your biggest fan! :D

I have attempted that but the whole beam is practically red, it looks alright but it was too tricky for me to add some black to it.

Your ability icons are not located correctly in your mod : your icons should be in heroes\krixi\icons\ folder

Honestly the mq icon looks funny but I do like the texture also I don't think the hair should be that red
