This is the continued version of the Concise Ability Description (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=97475) mod created by Warskull, which was based on the Easy Hero Ability Descriptions (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=41481) mod.
Since I will maintain this mod I made my own thread to make it easier to find the updated version.

DOWNLOAD
Download the mod here! (http://bit.ly/m7GEbs)

Note: Only works when client is set to english! Also, you have to check the box "Detailed Ability Descriptions" in the interface options menu.

If you do not know how to install please check out this forum thread (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=25883) to learn about HoN Mod Manager and download it.

Known incompatibilities:
- Booboo name changer
- Mods that change hero names
- Mods that completely replace entities_en.str (possibly)
- Some texture mods (including S2Z), if it doesn't work at all, or hero icons do not appear, or skills have no text, a texture mod may be the problem

What is this mod about?

This mod replaces the descriptions of all abilities with shorter, easier to understand descriptions. On top of this there is a tagging system designed to convey important information about what skills do quickly. Great for new players trying to learn the game or players who want to branch out and try new heroes.
This is compatible with XXL Hero Guide (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?p=12431882). In fact, I highly recommend anyone who isn't extremely familiar with all heroes download and use XXL Hero Guide in conjunction with this mod.

Example:
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6002/conciseexample.jpg


A clarification of the tags:
[Damage] - A pure damage skill, a pure nuke
[Attack] - A skill that is part of your attack
[Self-AoE] - AoE centered on your hero (a PB-AoE for people familiar with RPG terms)
[Cone-AoE] - Cone AoE, fire from your hero in a direction
[Channeled] - You must maintain this skill. Moving, being stunned, or using other abilities ends this skill.
[Finisher] - A skill designed to kill a hero when their health is below a certain point.

[Heal] - Recovers Health
[Mana] - Recovers Mana

[Debuff] - Applies negative status
[Debuff Aura] - Passive AoE debuff centered on hero
[Disarm] - Prevents attacking
[Silence] - Prevents Spellcasting
[Slow] - Reduces movement speed

[Buff] - Applies positive status
[Boost] - Improves hero, passively
[Buff-Aura] - Passive AoE boost centered on hero

[Vision] - Gain vision of an area or unit

[Warp] - Moves you to target location, path does not matter
[Charge] - Moves you to target location, path matters
[Stealth] - Makes you invisible unless revealed

[Summon] - Makes a unit for you
[Control] - Steals a unit and puts it under your control
[Morph] - Changes your hero's form

[Stun] - Prevents enemy from doing anything
[MiniStun] - A very short stun
[Grab] - Pulls enemy to you
[Push] - Pushes enemy unit
[Disable] - Prevents enemy from moving, using abilities, or attacking

[Root] - Prevents enemy from moving or attacking
[Trap] - Surrounds an enemy, to prevent movement

[Defense] - Defensive buffs and abilites

Description text colors clarification:
Blue text - this is magic damage or part of an ability
Red text - this is physical damage or part of an ability
Yellow Text - this is superior damage or part of an ability

Feedback
Feedback is welcome. Even if you just think one skill could have a better description or would like to suggest an alternate description. If you dislike how a skill is described please post what you think it should say.

Please note: After each new patch that effects hero descriptions (read: any patch beside hotfixes) the mod needs to be updated. So if you patch to a new version, this mod won't work until I update it. I will update as soon as possible.

Hey guys,

I uploaded an updated version. Should work.

Know issue: :temp:Tempest's Meteor has currently no concise description due to s2 messing it up by adding an & symbol into the original descriptions. So I can't replace it right now. If anyone has any idea why that is and how to do it anyway please tell me. [Solution: &]




Idk when i pm people it never said i sent it so werid. O ya just question off topic. You know how to make a ingame menu and lobby music change.
The pm system is pretty strange. I tried numerous times to reach anyone official to move this thread back to user interface mods (was messed up during forum downtime months ago), but somehow it seems that none of my pms ever reached anyone. So I gave up and live with this thread being here. For the music changing thing click here.

First of all: I can tell you how to replace a sound file. I don't know if u could add additional music. I'll give you an example how to change the lobby music file in 5 easy steps.
Step 1: Search the file you want to replace in the game\resources0.s2z (open with any .zip program like 7zip, winrar, winzip etc.) Lobby music files are in the music folder. No need to search then.
Step 2:Create a new text document and and put this in: (example for changing the lobby music)


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<modification
application="Heroes of Newerth"
appversion="*"
mmversion="*"
name="Music"
version="1.0"
description="Changed Music"
author="author"
>

<copyfile name="music/lobby.mp3" />
</modification>
Close and save. Name the file "mod.xml" (make sure the extension is .xml not .txt)
Step 3: Create a folder called "Music" and put your mp3 music file inside. The file inside must be named "lobby.mp3"
Step 4:Put both, the .xml file and the folder into a .zip archive. (rightclick, add to archive)
Step 4:Rename the file extension from .zip to .honmod
Step 5:Put the .honmod in your game\mods directory, apply with honmodmanger and you're done. You may create a Practice game to try it.



You should add effect/abilities types (magic, physical, superior magic).
What exactly do you mean? This mod currently only changes the top part of the description window. And I did add color idications to words in those descriptions to show which type of damage is dealt. Do you want anything below the description.
There is already a lot of information in the description window given twice when using this addon. So I don't really want to include the good readable table that the original description window has where range, type and manacosts of the spell are given.
Assuming you wanted sth. like
"[Range 600] [Type: Magic] [Stun] Stuns the target."
I will not do that.


what about adding hero roles like this mod: Hero Roles V1 (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=126748)

Well, for me this mod (the concise one) is not designed to really give advise. It should just state what exactly is done with a certain spell without all story background stuff S2 has in their descriptions.
However generally this is a good idea. A while back I had something similar in mind, replacing all hero storys with some kind of small picking guide. Sth. like good lane partners, type of lineup (pushing/ganking)etc.. Sadly, I don't have the time.
Long story short I think that it doesn't fit because these are two different mods. You may merge it if you want to and the creator of the roles mod agrees (if you do it for public release).

@Grimsabal (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=1795198):
Most of the changes are cosmetic formating, but :wild:s W changed from

<find position="start">Ability_Bear2_description When attacking, Beardulon has a 20% chance to root a target in place for 3 seconds, preventing movement and attacking.</find>to

<find position="start">Ability_Bear2_description Grants a 20% chance to apply Bear Root to a hero for 3 seconds or to creeps for 9 seconds. Immobilizes target, reveals target and deals 40 Magic damage per second.</find>
so the replace tags need an update to reflect this.

Noticed that :mali:'s 3rd ability description wasn't getting replaced, so I did a little spelling cleanup of the mod.xml. Also noticed that :temp:'s 3rd ability wasn't added to the xml at all. Not sure if that was intentional, so I didn't touch that part.

I just uploaded an updated version that fixes the :engi: skill description and adds Nomad to the mod.

Thank you for your feedback. Whenever a patch is released that changes anything about how spells work and therefore how S2 describes them, this mod will not work until I update it. So on a patch day, this won't be until I a) notice there is a patch and b) get the update done, which can be kinda difficult if they add some weird spell that is hard to describe.


Next patch's update will be delayed until Saturday (04/23/11) afternoon/evening CET.

Yes, it should. Last year when the forum died for 2 days this thread amongst other was moved to another forum. Since then I have been trying to get some moderator to move this back to the User Interface Mods section. But even though I send several PM's nothing happened so I gave up trying.

Just a quick update: I am working on a new version. But because of the description changes, I have to change a lot. Been working on the mod for like 4 hours now and I'm still not finished. Because it is 4 am my time the update will be coming out sometime tomorrow.

Edit:

New version out.

I added the tagging system (e.g. [Stun]) to the simple descriptions. For now, I left S2's description in this department pretty much unchanged, because they shorten the descriptions a lot more than this mod could've ever done.
Also the damage coloring is added. (Magic damage is blue, physical red and superior damage is orange)

I recommend anyone who uses this mod to use the new descriptions, however the support for the 'old' descriptions continues of course. If you want to go back to those you have to change your interface options and toggle "Detailed Ability Tooltips".

As of right now, the new tooltips do not work with MiniUI (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=51269), but that problem is not on this mod's end. It works, if you disable MiniUI. That's unfortunate, but nothing I can do. We will have to wait for an update for MiniUI.


Hope you like it, took forever to make, even if it's only a small visible change, it required over 800 lines of additional code.

Next update on Saturday, 05/21/11. Won't be here when the patch comes out.

Thanks for your patience. Update is out, finally.

Quick update as to why I took out the simple descriptions for now:

The implementation of the simple descriptions offers a huge opportunity for me to mod upon simply because I can modify everything you guys can see alot easier. With this said, I am working on a pretty sweet idea for about a week now. (Well, I like it atleast :D)

I am really not sure how long it will take to finish it because with now 80 heroes in the game it is really a lot of stuff to get through. (had about 35/79 before friday's update done) Probably about another 1 or 2 weeks.

I want this new mod to pretty much merge together the original "concise ability description mod"-descriptions with the ones that are at the bottom of the skill's description in the "long" mode. Giving you a concise and complete (hi s2!) overview. This part is for new players mostly.

But as HoN gets older there are a lot more experienced players out there looking for every single information they can get. These type of player doesn't check the tooltip to get introduced to a skill but to collect additional information or wants indepth understanding of what happens. I will also add things that fall into this kind of category. Even things, that were even never given in the "long" tooltips.
e.g. Defiler's ultimate spirits attack for 43-48 damage. To me, this is somewhat interesting and important information, yet neither the old nor the new tooltips give that information. Also, it is nice to know that the spirits heal you for 25% of the damage done (thats in both tooltips), but without even knowing the damage this information is beyond useless.


PS. As you might have noticed, Martyr did not have any "long" descriptions. And on top of that, the simple tooltips are 100% the same for him. I added a line to Martyr's abilities to pretty much sum up the skill without numbers and give the tags. This basically is not really the purpose of this mod, but saying nothing is not very concise either. haha...

Hope you don't mind Grimsabal but I went ahead and "fixed" it for 2.0.39.1

NOTE: This is only a fix for the currently released version and does not include the new hero or anything like that ^^

Hm, is it possible to see the original descriptions of latest heroes with this version or will there just be a blank panel?

edit: Thanks anyway for fixing bluechipps, whatever the answer will be! :)

Okay, I updated for patch 2.1 and added Drunken Master.

Will add Monkey King later today or tomorrow. As I do not intend to support S2's new hero release policy in any way I am in no rush. Noone needs good ability descriptions for a practice mode hero anyway...

As to your question coven, new heroes' descriptions are not touched by this mod until the hero is added. If you use the mod and a new hero is added (and it still applies or the mod gets fixed (thanks bluechipps)), that hero's description will be the original ones.
However, after adding simple tooltips to the game S2 tends to release heroes with no description (in the top part, the part that is actually changed by this mod) at all. So it might be possible that the original tooltips are a blank panel.

I thought this mod was on most people's "must have" list, but this thread keeps getting pushed to the bottom, and updates are becoming fewer and farther between.

Sup?

Hey Guys, sorry for the lack of updates and information on that matter. Lately I had very little to no time at all for gaming and this mod. (I played like 1 game of HoN in the last 2 months) That does not mean that I have forgotten it or just don't care, just that my time is very limited. It should get better in the near future. Thats not a promise but I will try. ;)

I did just update the mod and added all heroes I was missing (I hope). I will put in the damage colouring tomorrow. It's like 4 am for me already. >.>

Edit: Ok, done with the damage coloring and the update for patch 2.2.0. If I overlooked any changes to how abilities work, please let me know.

Doens't work for me. I can enable the mod, but everything is normal. It's seems the mod isn't working.
The client is in english and i have these mods enabeld. Maybe one of then disables your mod ingame?

I don't think any of your mods disables this. Have you checked the box "Detailed Ability Descriptions" in the Interface option menu ingame? If you haven't, check it and it should work.
I'll add that to the main post, forgot about it when they introduced the shorter tooltips.

Also, the mod does not work on the hero selection screen or the herodex, only ingame.

No i haven't. I check that later, thx.

Oh i didn't know that. Is there a chance to get the mod work in the hero selection screen and/or the herodex? Because that's the reason why i installed the mod ^^

Anyone care to take a look at updating this mod? It's a really great one, I'd hate to see it die off.

edit: i used a different mod manager which updated this mod and now its fixed!

Well, yes there is a possibility. Technically atleast... It would require me to also replace all simple description' texts (which are taken for the selection and herodex by default). That would about double the amount of code required and remove the ability to switch between the mod's descriptions and the simple ones. So at the moment I won't be doing that. Sad to hear that the mod has no use for you the way it is.
