Flame-throwing Slither

[MaxGhost]

Flame-throwing Slither
Version 1.1 (updated as of v1.66.1)


Requested by the community, for the community.

I'd like to give a shout-out to Lowboll who helped me with some difficulties I had with Photoshop (he taught me how to use gradient overlays).


Features:
- New sound effects for the skills (ultimate and DoT sounds were custom edits by me)
- New icons for all the spells
- Completely recolored all the spell effects to make them fiery.
- Added flames on Slither's body and the wards' bodies, with orange and yellow highlights
- Many sounds and animations taken from other heroes :
.___. * Ultimate's DoT visual effect taken from Blacksmith
.___. * Ward's attack projectiles from the smaller dragon neutrals
.___. * Impact effect for regular attacks (of wards and Slither) from Pyromancer
.___. * Ultimate sound effect on unit impact from Magmus (steam sound)

Nice!!! ;D

[Keshoon]

LOL!! That's mighty epic! Can't wait for the download. :)

[MaxGhost]

Re-uploaded to version 1.0, with prettier icons.

[DarkSanji]

[PoopyDesires]

Its..

Beautiufl.

[MaxGhost]

Beautiufl. :D

[PoopyDesires]

Beautiufl is clearly superior to beautiful.

[NiGHTsC]

They should make magmus this way...

Nice SSs :)

[MaxGhost]

Nice SSs :)

The trick is to slow the game down to 10% speed (with Test++ mod). To get the precise look you want :)

Edit: Added a little more info to the original post.

You asked for 1022 and used 2021 ?¿?

Ult looks cool

K wow. I got confused with the numbers :O

I'll fix it...

Edit: the 1021 was a typo, meant to be 1022, plus I re-uploaded it and it still had it's old number. Epicfail. Sorry. To those who already downloaded it, just rename the .s2z to 1022 instead of 2021 please! :)

You can't hate the slow motions :D

[IVaCH]

Great! nice done, waiting for more textures of you!:)

[Kyll3R]

I did that with my new ultimate quite a few times just for the hell of it :P

[Taggsvamp]

Wow that ulti is really nice all is nice but Ulti is something special about :D Very good job

[Ibeatmycat]

i cant get any textures to work, even though i download them properly.

[MrSnowman]

HonMod?

[MaxGhost]

HonMod?

This is a texture/effect file mod. You can just drop the .s2z in your game folder for now. I'll make the .honmod soon enough.

[Zuika]

by far the best texture mod. imo. nice work.

[Defect0r]

Lol lava's slither..

[FrEEz902]

Awesome except it conflicts with his theme. He's poison, and there are already too many fire/red heroes in game. (Magmus, pyromancer, blacksmith, accursed, others i can't think of)


But great job, it does look great.

Yeah that was totally the point btw... It was to make a full conversion of him into a fire-based hero. And just four fire heroes really isn't much.

[Taggsvamp]

And if you use texture pyro can get frost (for example) and magus diffrent colors

Man, I tried spamming his ulti in practise for the trippy effects thing (With 0.25 speed) and I crashed xD should this really be more intensive than the normal?

I removed bits from the effect code, so it should be less intensive than originally. I was able to do it just fine.

[SLeePz]

you should edit the name of the skills, it says poison, mabe even change the description of it to fire.

No. That's going into stringables files, and it would make this mod useless after every new patch. I'd rather not, it's too much work and it's really inconvenient for users who use it.

[AshGear]

maybe a newbish question but does this work in the current version?

No idea at this point, cause of the changes to slither. It might not. Try it out and let me know? :P

[PogS]

Nice mod but I have a few constructive criticisms :
- I think the red is overdone. Try to recolour without loosing the colour richness of the original skin as it's a bit too flat.
- The effects should be rework to look more like flames actually cause they still have this poison drop look that do not fit well.

[iBringer]

EPIC

[Klaffen]

Finaly i feel like playing Slither! these effects looks TOTALY AWESOME! Ty for this :D

If you want to retexture it with your crazy detailed awesomeness, I'd gladly update it with an HD fire version.

So just think he's napalm spewing Slither.

That's what I was going for. I didn't feel like completely remaking those effects, plus I'm no good at editing effect files. I mostly just changed the colors and removed some parts.

[Synchrogazer]

Just isntalled it and he throws out 2 wards at a time that act as one... may be a conflict with changes to the ability?

[Pseudologic]

Awesome, just needs a rename and an annoucer:
