The fun part about alternate avatars is that other people can see them too.Version: 2.10

What is this?
This is a program that will allow you to choose what model each hero should have. This will force the model to your client, so no matter what model is selected, you will see the chosen model.
The program will then create a HeroModels.honmod file that you can add to your HoN ModMan.

Preview of the program:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/Pics/ModelSelection.png

Download links:

Model Changing Program (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/Complete/HeroModels.exe) (Program to choose what S2-models you want) (Requires Ionic.Zip.dll in the same folder)
Ionic.Zip.dll (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/Complete/Ionic.Zip.dll) (Required by Model Changing Program)
Source (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/Source.rar) (Partially commented, VB.NET)

Info about re-downloading:
When a new version comes out, you only need to re-download "Model Changing Program" aka "HeroModels.exe". You then overwrite the old "HeroModels.exe" with your new one.
If you only want "All Alternative Models" or "No Alternative Models", then you can download the complete versions here:

All Alternative Hero Models (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/Complete/HeroModelsAllAlts.honmod) (Makes every hero use their alternative model. Client-side only) (.s2z version (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/AllAlt.s2z))
No Alternative Hero Models (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/Complete/HeroModelsNoAlts.honmod) (Makes every hero use their standard model. Client-side only) (.s2z version (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/NoAlt.s2z))
No Alternative Announcers (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/OnlyStandardAnnouncer.honmod) (Makes every announcer become the standard announcer. Client-side only)

To the top.

How do I use this program?
Make sure both "HeroModels.exe" and "Ionic.Zip.dll" is in the same folder, and open the HeroModels.exe. Now you can select what heroes you want to force a model on. If you select "Standard", you will force the standard/1.0 model. If you select "Alternative", you will force the alternative model. If you select "Dynamic", HoN will decide what model will be viewed. When you are done, you click "Compile", and the program will create a "HeroModels.honmod". Now all you have to do is add it as a normal mod, using the HoN ModMan (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=25883). In the ModMan, the mod is called "Customized Hero Models".

TL;DR:
- Both files in same folder.
- Open "HeroModels.exe" and select models.
- Click compile, and copy the "HeroModels.honmod" to your mod folder and procede as usual. ("Customized Hero Models")

Forced? Dynamic? say wut?
I have simply "made up" two categories "Forced" and "Dynamic".

Forced: This is when you force a client-side model, and this is what the mod will do. This will force a specific model to be shown for you (and you only), no matter what model is selected. Both alternative and standard models can be forced.
Dynamic: This is the way HoN normally handles models. The chosen model will show.

Still confused? Example time!
Player 1 got my mod, and forces all the standard models.
Player 2 got my mod, and forces all the alternative models.
Player 3 got no mods (aka all dynamic models)

Player 1 choses Witch Slayer (Standard), Player 2 choses Female Pyromancer and Player 3 choses Scorpion Magmus. What will be displayed?

Player 1: Standard Witch Slayer, Male Pyromancer, Standard Magmus.
Player 2: Pimp Slayer, Female Pyromancer, Scorpion Magmus.
Player 3: Standard Witch Slayer, Female Pyromancer, Scorpion Magmus.

I can explain more if you need.

What happens when more models come out?
When new models come out I will make the appropriate changes to the program, and I will also release a dummy mod. The dummy mod is just a simple mod that reminds you that you will need to download a new version of my program. This means you have several ways to check if there is a new update:

Through the HoN ModMan.
Through the program itself.
By checking in on this thread.

Through the HoN ModMan:
If there is a newer version of my program out, then you will be able to update your mod.

Through the program itself, there are 2 ways:
- When you click the "Check for new version" button, the footer will tell you if there is a newer version ready.
- When you open the program and go to the "Options", you can activate "Automatic Version Check". This will be the same as clicking the "Check for new version" every time you open the program.

If there is a new version out, then you should check back at this thread and download the new "HeroModels.exe". You do not need to re-download any other files. One easy way to get back to this exact thread, is by clicking the "Get new version"-button in the program.

Known bugs:
- Not tested: If you use a screen resolution of less than ~ 860x650, then it might be hard to use the program.
- You probably need .NET Framework 4 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263).
- Seems to only work for Windows. If anyone knows how to convert a vB.NET program to Linux/Mac, please take the time to show me.

Version log:

Version 2.10:
- Made some changes to the UI, so the selection looks like the in-game selection, not the one at the website (http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/heroes).
- Added the new skin for Valkyrie. (As Swiftblade, this will keep working after the sales stop)
- Added Aluna to the selection screen, but as she has no alternate model, she is greyed out like the others.

Version 2.09:
- Added Tempest and fixed Kraken according to 2.0.14 patch.

Version 2.08:

Just played with this for a minute. You gotta recode some things.

1) You don't need !CDATA, only if there is a "<" in the line
2) If you use <editfile name ="">, make sure you use "\", not "/". The only 2 heroes your app did it right were WS and MQ. (only tried 5)
3) Pyro has a body.entity, Some alt_announcers have no file -> thus no sound

...and I'm interested in this:

<editfile name="heroes/hantumon/hantumon.entity">
<find><![CDATA[<modifier key="Alt" modpriority="1"]]></find>
<find><![CDATA[true]]></find> <replace><![CDATA[false]]></replace>
<find><![CDATA[alt/]]></find> <delete />
<find><![CDATA[alt/]]></find> <delete />
<find><![CDATA[alt/]]></find> <delete />
<find><![CDATA[alt/]]></find> <delete />
</editfile>
Why search for the second line (modifier key) if you don't edit anything?
Use <findall> </findall> <delete />

Thanks for feedback! I will look into it!

Edit: I found the problem. I forgot to add back a line that I had commented out. Should be up and working now again! Redownload the program and it should be fine :)

(To others: Problem was that Glacius was showing up as dynamic if you chose him as Alternative. :) )

No not yet. I will tell when it is. I am hoping for a ModMan-update that will make it 2000 times more easy to make announcer-mods. :)

But today, Kraken was added, and Flint was fixed. :)

great program
just wondered

how can i open HoNSkins.au3 ? -_-

XplittR

01-23-2011, 01:56 PM

That is the source, if you want to see the code. To open it, you use a normal text-editor like Notepad or Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download). You will not be able to run the program through any of those programs though, as you will need this (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml) program to compile it.

If you only want to use the program, download HoNSkins.exe (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HonSkins/HoNSkins.exe) instead. :)

Download successful, for some reason I just had to click on the link again, weird.

Swiftblade avatar IS coming soon. I will release a version now, that probably will have the wrong sound when using the ulti. I need to find out how to fix that (if I am correct about me messing things up -.- ).

Next version 1.14 will be a TEMPORARY version, with Kraken and Flint fixed according to the Patch Notes (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=213149), and Swiftblade added (with bugs)

Edit: Swiftblade and 1.14 is released. Please give feedback on the Swiftblade, specifically the ultimate! :) To update: Use the built-in updater in my program! :D Remember that all your previous choices are stored in "config.ini", so that you only need to add the new ones (like Swiftblade) :)

Sometimes, when I compile, i don't get the honmod file. instead, i get a zip file and an xml file, that i cannot delete. i have to back into the thingy and press compile again and again until it works. Is this a bug, or is it just the program taking a while to compile and spit out the honmod?

This is a bug/wrong use of the program. If you have mod.xml, heroskins.honmod or heroskins.zip opened in another program, then it might bug itself like that. Also, do not be to quick after the program has closed, let it have 5-10 seconds if you keep having these problems. :)

A few advises: The autoupdate works, but gave me an error-message. And I had to manually delete the "deletemeplase.exe" file(intended?)...
I've no problems with try&error, but it will probably confuse other users.

2) this probably isnt easy, BUT it would be awesome if the program remembers and highlights the heroes on which you already made custom choices on.

3)I wasnt sure if the program read out the .ini file.
Again, you simply have to try it out to see that it actually worked flawless, but it can be confusing for insecure users.

Once again, it's working, these are cosmetic improvements. :)
also, I've send a PM on d3.... :P

1) What did the error-message say? The "deletemeplase.exe" should be deleted automatic when you run the updated program, if not, you can just delete it manually. This may have occured because AutoIt was trying to do things a bit to fast. If others report the same problem, I will try to find a solution. :)

2) I will look into it. :) Thanks for the tip!

3) "I wasnt sure if the program read out the .ini file.".
I did not quite understand that line. If you are wondering if this program could harm your computer, then it must have been because of an evil AutoIt-plot. :P The .ini file is just a text file, which contains the settings you made in the program. You can open it with Notepad to see the information there, and you can see the source of my program to see that it does not include any viruses/trojans.

I will respond to your PM soon. :)

Some of my programms tells me this .exe contains a trojan and wont let me open it....

Looking at your signature and account-image I do not know if you are serious or not, but I will respond to you in a serious and mature way. AutoIt is a scripting-language, and can be used to create viruses, keyloggers, trojans and other evil programs. Therefore some antiviruses will detect every AutoIt-script as a threat, and therefore block it. But AutoIt can be used for more useful programs than evil programs, such as this program. You can read through the Source I linked in the first post with Notepad if you want to, and if needed, I will comment every part of the code so it gets easier to understand.

01-29-2011, 04:31 PM

IamKongor, I do not know why that happens to you. My BitDefender Total Security 2010 does not find any threats in my program. Here is the virus-scan from VirusTotal (http://www.virustotal.com/): http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=6658f9ef7985d5695a5be77f31f30db6a4f 1d23b9678a95333ed1b89f7f28871-1296336377

It looks like the way AutoIt compiles my script from a .au3 to a .exe adds some code that 3 antivirus-programs find threatening. These are false-positives though, so no need to worry at all.

strangely i still have no idea were the heck i have the defiller as Karagan(s2) skin that for some reason is still active lol. was gonna switch out for more pogs skins. wherever he is....sigh.

Major revamp ongoing. I am converting the program into Visual Basic .NET(VB.NET), due to VB.NET got more functions, and is easier to work with. Look forward to an easier to use program (less bugs), and more functionality!

As of now, I have converted most of the program, and it is working.

Todo list:
- Maybe add an auto-update function again, but only if I can do it better than with AutoIt (I was not happy with the way I did it before)
- Testing for bugs.

New things added:
- "All Standard" and "All Alternative" have been added in addition to the "Reset All"(All Dynamic)
- A "Help (?)" button, with descriptions.
- Posibility to disable/enable automatic version-check everytime the program is opened.
- Posibility to add your own icon to the mod (to be shown in the HoN ModMan)

oh, I didnt even run the program, I deleted the .exe myself right after updating, since you are reworking the whole updating-process, you should try to avoid that, because it can confuse ppl :)
who then show up in this thread and say: I got 2 .exes, what do.

2) I will look into it. :) Thanks for the tip!

point 2 and 3 were connected. because the changed heroes werent highlighted, I wasnt sure if the program read the .ini file and used my previously selected hero choices.
So I was afraid that when applying the newly complied honmod, I would only find my latest changes in the game.
It worked flawless, but confusing/ insecuring at first.
I didnt know if I had to select everything again.

3) "I wasnt sure if the program read out the .ini file.".

linux users can't use the created *.honmod file. indeed it was created, but the HoNSkins.exe was crashing without any message and HoNModMan doesn't show up the created modfile, after moving it to the mod folder.

has someone created a working *.honmod file, where all skins are set to standard ... and wanna share it ???

I am sorry, but the problem is that AutoIt is not compatible with Linux. It is probably a lot of stuff that is OS-related, such as APIs and paths that bug up the whole program and it spits out a corrupted honmod.

So I took myself 15 secs to create and upload a "all standard" honmod for you: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HonSkins/NoAlts/heroskins.honmod

As I said in my previous post, I am changing to VB.NET, maybe that will help Linux users? I do not know.

I am sorry, but the problem is that AutoIt is not compatible with Linux. It is probably a lot of stuff that is OS-related, such as APIs and paths that bug up the whole program and it spits out a corrupted honmod.

thx dude, thats really very nice. i was sure you could handle this without any problems. *g

the only negative aspect is, that your link seems to be broken. it gives you an error 404 code.
but i'm looking forward to test your noalt_skins modfile.

yeah its always the same with compatibility issues. m$ isn't very famous about that topic. unfortunately i really have no idea concerning that wind0w-wine-linux compatibilty stuff. it's good that hon itself runs natively without any wine or emulation app in background.

UPDATED!
Yup, this means all the links are working again! That is: The ones in the main post.

Note: If you had this program before 2.00, then please delete the "config.exe" and "HoNSkins.exe", then download "HeroModels.exe" and "Ionic.Zip.dll".

For more information about the program, read the first post!

A few problems I have noticed.. With gladiator, there is no impact sound for his Pitfall.. like when it bursts up it's silent, when in Alternate model. Also for alternate, when you select to cast pitfall or ultimate it has a single target selection cursor thing instead of the area of effect indicator

I will look into it tomorrow, thanks for reporting! :) The second thing you brought up, is that related to the new targeting-colors thingy that was released with patch 2.0.10?

Thank you for your program. seems to be working for everyone.. except me. I have downloaded the program itself adn the file "Ionic.Zip.dll" and i have them in the same folder, the original where they go when i downloaded them. When I try to run the program i get an error message saying something about that I need to install .Net Framework. I have downloaded the file for .Net Framework and when i run it said that .Net Framework already is installed as a part of the OS. Is there a specific folder they are supposed to be in?

this is driving me crazy!

Try downloading .NET Framwork 4 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263). Please give me feedback if that works, will you? .NET 4 was released recently, and is therefore not a part of your OS, but previous version are.

so is that last comment to say that there is no current version with empath in it, as you are remaking it? just curious to test new skin for her, unfortunately she disapears with the previous .honmod in mod folder.

i doubt there is much need for anything outside of normal .s2z files for most skin changed. yet i was wondering if this program could/does have the option to make up a interface that has all the heroes shown like the normal character select screen. were you could select a certain hero, and it would pop up a box like the alt skins have in game. may be overdoing it, but could be a cool way to organize all of you custom skins if you have any. maybe even to help with any incompatibilities as well, especially with some skins just being random numbers.

anyway, thanks for the program. i look forward to any improvements you may have in store for a already great program.

maybe even to help with any incompatibilities as well, especially with some skins just being random numbers.

What?
Doesn't work this way. If you set up a preview you can't use anything not purchased. The heroes are loaded while you start HoN -> the only option to have a defined hero is to overwrite the rest.
You could do that if you purchased some heros and overwrite the first and second one with custom models
That would be a tremendous amount of work as most custom models are .s2z and you'd have to rewrite most of the entities as <editfile> only (to avoid incompatibilities)
Skins aren't incompatible if they are different heroes. It's just the user (idiots) who tries to use two custom models for the same hero. This and some incompatibilies with other mods using the same files (AOE Range Indicators + Cloud Watcher or a mod altering the icon_name)

not sure exactly why but norton internet security found the program to be a threat. i guess for being so new, and no ratings. just had to redownload and tell it to trust it.
used and changed over skins, but havent tested to see if all works in game yet. although i imagine it does so,

I'm having problems with the "No alt hero models" version. Hon mod manager is unable to apply it since the 2.0.14 patch. It gives the following message instead, and won't let me apply mods until I disable no alt hero models.

No alt hero models caused a problem:
Could not find string starting with "preglobalscale="1.52" as sought by line 27 of C:\\(Hon folder)\game\mods\HeroModelsNoAlts.honmod\mod.xml
This might be caused by the mod being outdated or by an incompatibility with another enabled mod.

I know for sure that the mod is not outdated nor incompatible with anything: My only other mods are
This ain't LoL (announcers)
BANG! Mia
BANG! Cooldown Pulse
BANG! Control freak

and they never showed signs of incompatibility with previous versions.

RaPoZaUm

02-18-2011, 10:24 AM

Uh, tried to edit my .honmod myself, discovered that modding is quite easy if you dominate the files locations, yet I had a few doubts.

To add the Tempest, for an example, I can start the new editfile section anywhere in the file or I have do follow an (alphabetical) order?
Plus I noticed some other sections had different commands, like Magmus, so I didn't want to try to add it myself.

Looking forward to an update!

I will NOT add the new announcer packs as a program until the ModMan gets updated (if it ever gets) to support <copyfile source=resources0.s2z>. I might however add a link to the announcer packs if someone else made those (or create one myself if noone did yet).

I will NOT add the new announcer packs as a program until the ModMan gets updated (if it ever gets) to support <copyfile source=resources0.s2z>. I might however add a link to the announcer packs if someone else made those (or create one myself if noone did yet).

I see. But what if I don't want the new announcer, but just to replace it with the default announcer? Can you help with that?

EDIT: No alt models works fine now, thank you very much. On the other hand, I'm having this guy's same exact problem:

I have downloaded the program itself adn the file "Ionic.Zip.dll" and i have them in the same folder, the original where they go when i downloaded them. When I try to run the program i get an error message saying something about that I need to install .Net Framework. I have downloaded the file for .Net framework and when i run it said that .Net framework already is installed as a part of the OS. Is there a specific folder they are supposed to be in?

I installed .net framework 4.0 from the link you posted in reply, but to no avail. The same message shows up and I can't launch the exe. What should I do?

I gave 2 suggestions:
1. Add switchable announcer packs
2. Not an issue, just a cosmetic suggestion - add hero portraits to the grid in the program

Thanks a lot XplittR!

Btw, you could make a simple s2z file, as ppl already published theirs but none are perfect until now I guess.

Thanks again. Keep up the good work :D
No I will not create a simple s2z file, as the HoN ModMan does that for you, plus a .honmod checks for errors when applying (incompatibilities) and is updateable.

[Download] (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/OnlyStandardAnnouncer.honmod) .honmod, standard announcer
[Download] (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/resources_OnlyStandardAnnouncer.s2z) .s2z, standard announcer.

Note that I will not keep updating these. ALL credits go to Awan´Afuqya. All I did was copy out his code for the standard announcer and made a solo .honmod and .s2z for it.

I thought installing .NET 4 would solve it. Without a proper error message I can not help you.

How stupid are you? He meant the version of his app.

Version 2.09: Added Tempest and fixed Kraken according to 2.0.14 patch.
Stop these stupid requests for every alt model, you'll get them in time.

@Iwantaccouncerdudes:
It's easy to add announcers but every new announcer requires additional files in the .honmod itself.
If Notausgang updates his ModManger to copy files from resources0.s2z into ANOTHER folder of resources0.s2z you'll get this feature.

I don't think I am going to add a button to the program to do that. I will rather add a mod-download link at the first post. If the ModMan gets updated so I can easily add support for changing sounds via 0.s2z, then I will add announcers to the program. :)

(I allready posted the "forced default" mod previously in this thread, but I will post it in the first post too)

Btw: "Dynamic" = "no mod" :P

2.10 is now out!!!

- Added the new skin for Valkyrie. (As Swiftblade, this will keep working after the sales stop)
- Added Aluna to the selection screen, but as she has no alternate model, she is greyed out like the others.

Sorry to sidetrack this thread, but does this (or any other model-changing mod) work like this?

Is there a mod that would allow us to choose which model we see in game without having to pay for it? It would only use the new models when chosen.

Basically, when you currently play, if you have purchased a mod, it allows you to choose between the two. I'm wondering if there is a mod that would allow you to choose in game, as you pick a hero with an alternate mod, which model you would like.
Yes, this program lets you do that. But you will have to do it before you start the game.

*Code removed*
As Penance shared his infinite wisdom I ask that "one of the numb skulls around here will get some brains" and do a .s2z using the ModMangers "create .s2z" option.

1. I see your point, and I have now added .s2z versions for the "All Alternate Hero Models" and the "No Alternate Hero Models". I will not make a .s2z for each hero though.

2. Okay, you really have a bright eye for such things (finding the bug). :D I find no reference to the "death.effect" anywhere in the valkyrie's hero.entity. Is this a missing line, or is it hardcoded? Would this only require 1(or 2) line(s) for each hero to get fixed by using <editfile>, or do you need to overwrite them by using <copyfile>?

Awesome work you're doing, makes my game folder a lot more tidy :p, thanks. The new Valk model doesn't work for me though, not sure if I'm an isolated case or if there's something wrong with the newest version :/.
I tested it, and it worked for me. Do you get an error, or is she showing up as normal valk?

It should create a "HeroModels.honmod". Please make sure you have the newest version of the program. (Edit: I noticed the typo in the first post. This is fixed now. It should create a "HeroModels.honmod", not "heroskins.honmod".

Hey XplittR!

You don't need <copyfile/> at all!
It's just a missing line, the devs forgot it. Ppl using your app will have the right death animation, regular users won't :D.

hero.entity
Icon, Model, Portrait, Passiveeffect, Projectile, Sound stuff is here.
Note that you have to consider some files e.g. Glads Chariot.
I double-check the folders and look for iffy files, like the body.entity.

model.mdf
The file for clips and sounds. And death.effect ;).

material.material
Always around if there is a .mdf! This file refers to the stuff in texture.s2z

projectile.entity
Animation of the projectile. With the custom avatars available around here one of the most difficult files. Alt Avatars with altered projectile (Pimp Slayer, Moon Queen) need some love, e.g. a different path for trail or impact.

i bought valk and set it to dynamic - ingame i cant choose her alt avatar any longer...
without the mod - everything works fine.
you got an idea?
Yes, with altavatar="false" you can't get the altavatars.
I think we should remove this, because more and more ppl buy alts and there is no point in this if you have to click the button anyway.
I got swift myself and I'm always pissed if I can't choose the alt :D. I'll edit this soon.

If you would open the xml and tell me what's in line 56 I could help you ;).

Right now, I
1) Remove the altavatars *Done
2) Take a look at the valk trail (rapozaum, another mod) *Done
3) Fix Glads Chariot (forgot that myself, didn't notice) *Done

As a reminder for the rest of you:
.s2z are applied after .honmods (afaik). Meaning if you use this app and additional custom heroes (like valk) you might get teapots or other errors.
Thats why I prefer .honmods over .s2z.

You want Pimp Slayer and get an error while using no mods. Odd.
The model works on my end... I can apply it and reviewed the files, there is nothing wrong!

You get an error while opening the default_projectile.entity and altering the paths to get Pimp Slayer.

Maybe missing permissions on your computer?! Try admin mode for the .exe.
Other than that, I have no idea :(

- More of Aw´Af's goodies (He is a lot better than me at coding new avatars/fixing bugs, so I "steal" a lot of my code from him :D )
- Hero Icons instead of buttons (New UI!!!!), which will look a lot like the in-game selection :D
- Possibility to use purchased models, no matter what settings you use on my program.

I will not troubleshoot anything until thursday, as I am on vacation with my gf atm too. I will however do my best and try to solve all your problems when I get back. :)

Interesting!

Working on my end. Win 7 x64.

For your next bug reports:
1) Operation System (Win 7 x32, Win 7 x64 etc.)
2) Check permissions (UAC activated?, admin mode?)
3) Microsoft Framework 4.x installed?
4) Delete all unnecessary .s2z. Why? Simple example:
You want Pimp Slayer but use one of the custom hero models. The ModManager applies Pimp Slayer via this app but the .s2z overwrites the changes with old hero.entity values thus giving you errors / a teapot.

03-09-2011, 06:31 PM

So, this works, but Im the only one who can see the different model right?, let say, I want to choose the female model of Swift, I can see my new model, but other players wont, cuz this is a client only change, am I right?

Cant apply - no other mods running - no additional s2z in game folder. also no solution for this atm..
With a new compiled version from 2.10 same problem.
1. My mod is not the problem. If you set a hero to "Dynamic", the mod will not touch the hero. If you still encounter the problem, try to delete your "config.ini" and select your settings again, and report back to me.

2. This seems to be because you have a corrupt version of resources0.s2z. Please reinstall HoN. This is of course only if you do not have any other .honmod enabled. Custom .s2z files do not make the HoN ModMan give this error, but they might give an error in-game.

For those who uses a s2z to show the bright spear, this mod won't work with Valk.
I downloaded the valk trail .honmod, and it did not give me any errors. So if you want this mod, use the .honmod instead of .s2z.

I cant even open it. It says that I need Microsoft Framework 4.0.3109. Im on Win XP btw so this might only work on WIN 7 or?
If it gives you a message saying that you need Microsoft Framework, then you might want to download (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263) it?

As they do not have any alt's, then this program does nothing. If/when they get alts, just set them to "Dynamic" and you are good to go.

You can't seem to read either

I do not have the time to update this program right now, but I will put up an update for Rampage later this week.

Then again you are 1140 psr, so I guess it only makes sense that you're a moron...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5722133/HeroModels/FULLsource.rar

There is the full source. I have commented it pretty well I think, so it should not be that big of a problem to just add more heroes as they come, if you know how to do that normally (using <editfile /> with .honmod, not <copyfile />). Check the "Temp" folder for the hero-codes. Also added the version where I added all the pics. Might want to re-do it to black-white or something, if you want to stick on to it.

Have fun anyone wanting to try it out!

-Xplittr, Out!

Edit:

Will you update Rainbow Rampage instead of Unicorn Rampage?
None. I will leave it to others to do it. However, in the "Test with pictures", i have added a "Alternative 2" button, so it's easy to chose between them both! You might however want to add a system to prevent heroes with one alt_model to get access to the button. Have phun!

The fact you don't understand how Xplitter was insulting you, is fairly amusing

And I wasn't judging you on your psr, I was judging you on your inability to read, the PSR just more or less clinches it

I didn't ignore you on purpose, I just don't see these kind of messages.

But I will still have HoN installed in case I feel for taking a game or two :)

@Awan, can I hope you will keep working on this awesome program? It made HoN so much better for me and other folks and got so much success it would be a real shame to let it go now.

slither causes HoN to have an allergic reaction unless you set it back to standard

Unicorn just doesn't work period

What exactly does that mean? :P

@SephiXen: Yeah, found that :/ Last minute changes arent the best without testing.

It means when I try to use slither the alternative version of slither, he disappears from the game, and if he gets selected, HoN crashes

not sure if it could be that i have some existing .s2z files for some hero skins, but the mod keeps causing an error. even when applying only this one mod. perhaps i need to set some things as dynamic or something? didnt have issues with other version overwriting that if there were though.

Orange: Only Alternative Hero
LighBlue: Olny Standard Hero

@Durandal: I cant reproduce that crash problem.

@RufiO_o: If you get an error when applying, try deleting the resources999.s2z first, and then apply all your mods again.

When you got an special skin for eg. Arachna, set her to grey(dynamic) then there wont be any compatibility issues.
