PogS Skins

[PogS]

Mediafire link is older.

[NiGHTsC]

Preview of Nymphora :She looks much older after reskin? as well as her hair style.

[Evil_Andrex]

Her nails... they don't fit her...

[_Archangel_]

seems like the top of nymphora's skirt is skin-colored... or she has some kind of fat roll there o-o

[junglebadger]

wowowowowow this is amazing. whens the honmod coming out? :)

[_Archangel_]

wowowowowow this is amazing. whens the honmod coming out? :)

Don't need Honmod for textures, because they don't override each other. The point of Honmod is to remove incompatibilities of mods altering the same file but obviously you're not going to have two textures on the same hero. So you can just use ResourceXXXX.s2z files and it'll work fine.

[junglebadger]

obviously you're not going to have two textures on the same hero.
maybe i will just to spite you >:I

[Sephinator]

It would take a while to make the .honmod. And then applying it?
That would take like hours. :/

[Pudgeinabowl]

Does nymph have bear (rawr bear) feet?

Has anyone measured the fps drop using hd textures?

[PogS]

I dunno how many fps I lost but I still run the game at 75 fps with all graphics at maximum and HD textures on a Core2Duo 2,8 Ghz and a 9800GT 512MB so I guess it runs on most configurations.

[Sephinator]

I got Intel Core i5 (Quad Core) 2.6 GHz and a XFX Radeon 4890 1024MB GFX Card.
Running at 75 FPS :)
(But got only a 15" monitor for now :P)

[Voulture]

Awesome idea - downloading, will check later ;3

[BitE]

Can we have blonde valkyrie back?

[Whitemage`]

i must say very nice work :) and thanks for all your hard work ^_^

[War_Mech]

Does legion look weird to anyone else? I just looked at him, haven't played a game yet, but his armor being all gray just seems to represent the player color too much. Makes me think that the player is gray, would prefer it being the player color. Based off first glance.

[Liights]

Any chance of Single hero releases? I don't want conflicts with my other textures. Jereziah is FTW btw.

[Penance]

Open the s2z and delete the folder for heroes you don't want. Would be nice to have individual releases as well and/or do what Max was talking about. Otherwise people have to re-dl it over and over. People with caps on their net might not be too pleased about that.

[PogS]

I"ll make a special blond version but I found it was too much yellow/gold on this model so I thought a red hair one would be cool.

I have no time to manage individual builds, sorry. If someone here is willing to help me on this, I would be grateful.

Instead of releasing daily versions now, I have decided to make major builds once in a while when I have enough new skins to make it worth downloading.

I remember you that all skins are still WIP. Legionnaire will be reworked soon to be less grey and more metal but I won't make his armour all team coloured.

[McLanche]

And Pogs, you're our only hope! Make Ophelia beautiful!!

[Snowyowl1]

Could you please consider releasing high-def textures to the regular Legion/Hellbourne ground units? Ghouls, Treants, Necros, Archers, Ballistaes and Catapults? Later on towers aswell and it would be completely awesome.
Great work so far, keep it up!

[junglebadger]

ya, i must say making HD textures for the units we see most, instead of slowly doing the heroes that we only see 1/6 fo them in any give game makes more sense. keep this **** up, some of the best stuff on these forums

[Tyxo]

when was last upload/ is next

[MaxGhost]

when was last upload/ is next

On Fridays.

[ShadowExile]

I've started attempting HD textures for the map (trees etc), but I personally haven't noticed an amazing difference. I could keep going with the project and make everything high resolution 1024x1024 but judging from what I've seen in my comparisons... Well, heroes look a lot better. Uploading proof for your eyes to gaze upon:

High Resolution Textures:

Regular Textures:

And if any of you wanted to test what it looks like when zoomed out in game.... http://www.mediafire.com/?mdtnjjwtwfn
is the link. I just used resources1100.s2z but it's not official and you can change it if you like.

[PogS]

I also tested HD terrain textures but as there is no real differences, this does not worth it. This is already a luxury for Heroes ;)
Again, HD textures only remove some of the blurriness, it does not add details. A retexture with more details and a custom normal map are needed to make them look better.

Here are other previews :

[ShadowExile]

PogS the only thing I can find wrong with your upscaling is the sharpening. You're definitely over-doing it. I personally think you need to tone down the Topaz Clean (YBcBR whatever) settings.

[PogS]

I already toned it down. It is really light now. What makes it sharp is not the Topaz filter this is the normal map which creates the 3D effect. Keep in mind these are overzoomed screenshots and yes it looks too sharpened and too much but when you unzoom to the standard playing view, you still see details thanks to this oversharpening. See the models in standard view and tell me if You still think this is too much sharpened.

I started working on the NPCs : melee, range and siege are done. I up-scaled them from 256 to 512 only. They look good enough.

[maeckes]

I love your reskins, especially :valk:

[PogS]

Another preview, Keeper of the Forest (total reskin) :
The flowers are team coloured :)

[sivis]

Looks unbelievably beautiful! =) Thank you VERY MUCH!
Want to ask...Can you increase quality of models too? You know i want to see Ophelia with SMOOTH chest, you know...
PLEASE! =)

Can't edit models for now :(

[thethedead]

Yay, Keeper preview!
Team colour flowers is a really good idea, his bark looks really good too (can't see his face in the image though, not that he has very defined features).

[PileOPoop]

Fix Ophe's face please! It needs to be pretty!

[MaxGhost]

Orphelia is an asian? (cause her eyes)

1) Ophelia (there's no R)
2) Did you ever see a Korean play strategy games? They micro ridiculously well. Asian eyes fit Oph.

[AgentAlaska]

Love the textures keep up the amazing work!

[Virsoul]

I love all the textures except for Lego. He looks like he lost detail and I like his team colors (even manly pink). Is it possible to have a HD texture more resembling his current appearance?

[NiGHTsC]

Can't stop watching how her tits moving while SSing, just too funy and unnatural, lmao :p

[PogS]

I reskinned the staff and added more details on other areas :

http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Textures/ophelia2.jpg

[Yugamic]

What is it that causes the texturing to look like plastic, the lighting?

[PogS]

This is the normal map. But don't worry : it looks so when looking from close up but once playing you don't see it.

[suNNymoNsu]

can u tell me which one is the latest link?
or either u will upload the new file tommorow. (readed previous post)
waiting for it :smile:
gj tho.

[PogS]

Latest link is the first one.
Tomorrow :)

[HybridX2]

Maybe throw in a panoramic view of all of the heroes at regular zoom so far, so people can see what they will really look like?

Other than that, excellent mod, love it ! :)

[Grandiose]

Reskin succubus and nighthound "cough cough''

[JKYjunker]

Love it!

can I ask how do you see what the .s2z file do, I might get texture mixed up and get a weird character.

[ragingkamote]

fcking goooooooooooood!

[Slayer_AT]

oh nice work .Can U remake pest
i love sladar..Very nice..zz

[PogS]

The .S2z replaced all hero skins. You'll see in game. If you do not want to use some just delete the hero folder in the s2z with a zip archiver.

Sladar ?
Pest is good as it is i think. I cannot make a a lot better. I'll give it a second try later. More urgent heroes first.

[Sephinator]

Pogs: Please, when you're updating the package, add 'last updated etc.'. :)

[gooderz4]

Nice work.
Don't know if its been mentioned but when you use ghost marchers on witch slayer his skin goes black an white. Any reason for this?
Also does anyone else have a slower game loading speed when using the HD skin pack.

[BitE]

Yes the loading gets significantly slower but i don't notice any fps drop ingame.

[gooderz4]

yeah i don't notice any fps drop either. However does anyone else get the black and white skin problem with witch slayer when you use ghost marchers.

[BitE]

Yes it happens, just tested it.

Both of these have proven true for me. Also... I have a minor fps drop but is like 1 - 2 frames but that is cuz I am running off a laptop I think.

[gooderz4]

Ah right, cheers for that, least i know its not just me.

[War_Mech]

Nice work.

Yeah I have both of these, my loading would be very choppy, slower, and often crash. Ran perfect in game though.
(I'm trying uninstalling my other texture mods though, to see if it fixed the crashes somehow).

Really nice work too!

[Ala_95]

I also load slow and crash like every third game or so when loading.

[Penance]

I also load slow and crash like every third game or so when loading.

Textures are quite a bit larger and since HoN doesn't release the memory it will increase at a much faster rate making errors more likely. Memory leaks are always fun.

which one is it? :p

[BlacRyu]

Hello there PogS,

People have been asking me to make HD versions of my already 1024x1024 Savage 2 textures, and I think what they really want is new normal maps to make them shiny. Think you could whip some up for me, if you have the time? Links are in my sig.

Thanks :)

[PogS]

I have no crash but a slow loading time. I do not use other texture mods.

Guys, I'll upload the new package today but not now. I should have time to work on it further.
I'll look at the ghost marchers Witch Slayer thing, I know this must be a material.material problem : no big deal.

BlacRyu : head for the stickied advanced texture guide; I explained there how to make normal maps. PM me if you have questions.

[BlacRyu]

I don't have Photoshop :/

edit: But I'll see if there's a way to get it to work on GIMP.

[PogS]

You actually took Savage 2 models ? Ok that is really cool. I'm gonna make the normal map for them. Do You mind if I include them in my package ?

[BlacRyu]

You actually took Savage 2 models ? ok that is rally cool. I'm gonna make the normal map for it.
Lol ok, I finally found this too: http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/normalmap/ (http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/%7Ecocidius/normalmap/)

And just to note, they already had normal maps, people just told me they wanted me to make them HD. So I'm guessing what they meant was they want the armor to shine, since it's probably the most noticeable difference.


Do You mind if I include them in my package ?
Fine with me.

[PogS]

I remade the lego normal map to make it shiny. the skin is already 1024x1024. No need to make it larger. I'm on it to make it team colourable. posting the result as soon as tested :)

[BlacRyu]

I made normal maps for lego and behemoth as well to test out the GIMP tool :p
Team color is good though, I already did it for Behemoth but yeah Lego and Maliken don't have any currently.

Also the textures were actually 2048x2048 originally, I scaled them down lol.


It definitely makes a difference:

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5438/shot0128b.th.jpg (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5438/shot0128b.jpg) vs. http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8073/shot0032l.th.jpg (http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8073/shot0032l.jpg)


So yeah I think I can handle the normal maps now, but if you want to add the team colors or any other details or whatever that would be great.

[PogS]

Cool :)
Try to remove unecessary files in the folders. Lots of filesa re unused thus sparable to lighten the weight.

[PogS]

Ok I reworked all BlacRuy's Savage 2 mods and included them into my package. Full credits for him for the ports. I just worked a bit further. BlacRuy tell me where to send you the updated mods. Maliken still needs to be team coloured but Lego is done.
Uploading package now...

[PogS]

Link up to date :)

[Snowyowl1]

You can split the file into smaller parts and upload them to Mediafire. Either you make 2 different .s2z files or you make .s2z.001 and .s2z.002 which later on is merged into a single .s2z file with an app such as Split & Concat (http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/). I'm sure there's a Windows counterpart of that application somewhere aswell.

Thanks for the latest update!

[ScrubZ]

Hey PoGs, does this "HAVE" to use AA on max? I mean, I got a great computer but the card just doesn't like it when I enable AA and gets about 5 fps in team battles.. without it I stay on a constant 25 and I don't really see any difference apart from a few jagged edges.

[BitE]

I think that's an overstatement.

[Sephinator]

It's meant to be played in maxed AA. It doesn't say it is needed.

EDIT: Too bad for most users about the Mediafire link. :( But I'm downloading in 400kB/s :D

Isn't there some way you can optimize it? Maybe RAR the s2z file? :)

EDIT2: 800kB/s :D

[BadAssKicker]

Nice, now the creeps are in HD too!! :D

Though I have a big problem. The game crashes more frequently now. Last match I crashed out of the game every 3-5 minutes. Any fix/workaround for that? I don't want to delete the HD mod.

[Penance]

If S2 would fix the memory leaks then it wont be an issue. So until then you're SOL. Using low settings I can play 50 or so games without having to reboot HoN or getting errors. Using high settings I can do about 20. With Hd textures it can be as little as 5.

Like you can tell a difference between 4x and 8x, it looks fine without AA for slower pcs anyway.
PogS can you upload a version without the Savage 2 models, as there are no buffs for these and it's kinda awful.

[Penance]

You really can't tbh. Though no AA with high settings vs 2/4x AA on mid settings is no contest. Lower detail but aliasing looks much better, especially on FPS, not so much on HoN but still a difference.

Maybe this weekend after I'm done with my part of the Lina port I'll separate all these and set them up like Max suggested. Then PogS might start adding updates that way so it's easier as well.
Until then you can do it yourself. Open it with Winrar or 7zip then delete the Maliken and Behemoth folders. I believe those are the only two currently. Delete any others you don't want as well while you're at it.

[BlacRyu]

MOd Pls help me.
Madman=?? in zip file

[suNNymoNsu]

Thanks for the new upload pogs.
I've downloaded it, tho my transfer rate speed is only 50kb/s, im still waiting for it.

btw, has any1 ever experienced a crash during someone choses chronos?
I got crash that time numerously.

[Granman]

Can you upload somewhere else it only lets me get 14kb/s when trying to download it...

[Nighteyes]

These look amazing however, I think Jeraziah is a little too gold. Needs a bit more color in my opinion.

Also, Demented Shaman skins or something is broken, he appears all black.

[Slayer_AT]

MOd Pls help me.

[KOCH]

Please make this thread sticky !!!!

[chibi22]

pls fix mediafire link pls! it seems it goes to www.part1.com

[Pudgeinabowl]

Really love the models, but the main download link is painfully slow (5kbs), and the mediafire links are broken.....

[BadAssKicker]

Looks hot!!

Sorry, but I had to delete your mod :( I crash out of the game every 5 minutes, it's unplayable, I don't know why it's that hardcore...

[PogS]

Savage 2 models are Legionnaire, Behemoth and Maliken. I hope BlacRuy will port Scout as well as HoN models is one of the weakest whereas Savage 2 one is cool :)

Mediafire links available in post 1 :)

Jeraziah is silver gold on purpose. He is hero of Sol and thus is pure gold to show his dedication to his god and to blind his enemies ;)
Demented Shaman works well on my machine :) Check other mods.

[Pudgeinabowl]

Mediafire links available in post 1 :)


Well they are...but this is where i get linked to http://part 1/

Does it do this for you?

[ShredderIV]

tbh, the savage 2 legionairre and maliken are cool as ****. The savage 2 behemoth, not so much. I'd much rather have the HON behemoth than that one that looks like it has a beer gut and midget head.

[N_E_X_O_R]

Yeah , all great work but...

that behemoth ain't really looking good :P

[Baku]

Sav2 Behe is pretty fugly :s sry otherwise this pack is awesome

[BadAssKicker]

Hmm, you did a good job with the Savage 2 models. But I would appreciate two different download links, one with HoN models, one with Savage 2 models.

I think Savage 2 models should stay in Savage 2 and not appear in HoN. But that's a matter of taste.

[PogS]

Maybe later when all is done.

Here is a preview of team coloured Maliken :

and Behemoth :

[PogS]

It is fat from this view but in game he rocks.

[Acinod]

I don't like the Savage 2 Behemoth. He looks like a badly coloured plastic fat retard and lacks a good shape.

[ericphong]

For some strange reason the S2 Lego seems all bright white and doesn't have a helm or axe.

[Tyxo]

i dont like the team coloured behemoth he ist just a fat baby
sry

[SiMi_SS]

Ok had enough. Each day i check this page for updates, being quite impressed with the new models and everything. Extremely nice work.
But since you started working with his ryu guy, everything is phucked up. New savage models are horrible, the 'HD' creeps have way too much make-up. You should have waited before updating absolutely everything in the same file. Make another thread for this savage2 models and here just improve the existent ones

[MaxGhost]

Is there a way I can edit the file where I get the original Behemoth model back? He just looks like a big fat grey blob with the S2 model lol.

Get WinRAR or 7-zip, open the file you downloaded, open the heroes folder, delete the behemoth folder.

[BlacRyu]

Screw you guys, Behemoth is my favorite.

[Nurz]

Anyone know the name of the folder for Magebane? I'm trying to use the Darth Maul skin along with Pog's package, so I need to delete the Magebane folder in this one. Only thing is Pog's has his own naming system on some heroes(lol) so I don't know which one he used for Magebane.

[Tiger0211]

Do not like the savage 2 models at all....a later package without them would be appreciated :) (or a list of them and how to remove them from package). But good work on the others.

The list is on first post.
Also note that the folders are named the same as the heroes, and you can delete them from the .s2z by opening it as a .zip, selecting those folders (legionnaire, maliken, behemoth, and, soon, scout), and pressing the Delete key (or right click > Delete). I know you can do this in Windows's default zip editor, and in 7-Zip. Other programs that can open zips may or may not let you delete from zip files.

[BitE]

Game always crashes when i load the 2nd game in a row, memory leak or something? Anyway i hope that gets improved on next patch.

A suggestion:
Don't make all heroes look like they dived in a pool of oil, too much shine yo.

There seem to be some Graphic problems however,
- Ghost Marchers sometimes tear off peoples skin (so its just the black/white model)
- Pestilence Ultimate Bugs appear at their target, but often disappear before the Ult actually ended

[Lucretius]

What kind of FPS hit am I looking at by installing these?
(Looks great btw!)

[SyyRaaaN]

Wow man. Much better than i thougt. 10/10. S2 games should pay you for polishing their textures.

- I'm not sure it comes from the skin.

[Fenrisulf]

I wish there was some fix to stop the crashing :<
Random crashes usually upon entering a game or finishing a game, and at least one crash in between.

[_Archangel_]

Is the link updated with Witch Slayer and Predator skins?

[maeckes]

I really like this outrageous package. Superb work! But please add the Savage2 models to a separate package and release the HoN Behemoth, Legio and maliken back to action

This, Please. I wanna play with HON-Legio!

Get a better video card with more graphic memory. Basically, the game crashes once it runs out of memory space to put the textures and models of the game.

same goes to me and my friends, all of us have new video cards... this cant be the only prob.


btw: sometimes i only see a black shadow instead of the textures. how can i fix this?

New doesn't mean better. How much video memory do the video cards have?

[Vulpes]

- Can you please tell me which heroes have the issue ?

- Witch Slayer, Accursed it was but am not able to reproduce it right now.
Here an example Screen how it looks like: Naked Witch Slayer (http://s4.directupload.net/file/d/2038/fc8uzqte_jpg.htm)
There was at least one other Hero, but I don't find him right now. Maybe also fixed with the new Version (as Accursed seems to be)

Also are the frequent K2 Exceptions at Game Loadup from this HD Mod?
Had several before, so I thought they just 'randomly' got more frequent.
Yesterday played 5 Matches and on all I got a K2 Exception (always only while Game loads, after that it's fine)
I got a Radeon HD 3870, thought that to be enough for HoN / this HD Mod (espec since I play on 1280*1024)

[MaxGhost]

Don't ever use directupload again. Terrible site, full of ads.

[Vulpes]

Go get a Popup- & an Ad-Blocker. Didn't know it were full of Ads, for me it's a white background.

I had the same prob yesterday playing with Witch Slayer. I'll check

[ReDsKiN]

Some heroes also appeared as a single colour, from what i remember blacksmith..although this may have been fixed already (havent been able to dl the most recent updates)
and is it possible to create a master file then just have incremental updates we can add ourselves?
Either way this mod kicks a**

Updated?

[Delfofthebla]

How bad are the memory leaks for this mod? And is there a way to essentially "clear" all the cache so I don't have to restart the game in between games? I'm downloading this now, and it would be a shame to see the textures ruined by constant crashes.

[Kapoacinth]

I see NH like a tea-pot D:

Fixed, i had a prob installing :P

[BitE]

Dark lady is all team/player coloured. Old skin?
About the memory leaks and frequent crashes, maybe (just maybe) it's a windows 7 thing, as my game crashes on every 2nd game loading both on my desktop and laptop, both on windows 7 and a friend of mine who is on windows xp crashes rarely. Or maybe it's a 64bit thing, i don't know.
Or maybe it has something to do with pagefile, i'll look further into it.

I can confirm that it crashed very often on Win 7 64 Bit with this mod. If there is a fix soon, it would be really awesome.

Right now I can't use this mod, because the game is not fun anymore with those crashes.

[Erunestaron]

K then that's wierd.

yes, because of this im reporting this bug. This Mod is really awesome, but the crashes are annoying.

btw:

The Dark Lady is always Blue, or Red, the whole model.

[Pibbish]

excellent work PogS. I'm not too fond of pink blacksmith though.

[SiMi_SS]

Are you sure you added the witch slayer texture?

I redownloaded the file, double checked, started a replay watching a witch slayer moving in 1/18 speed and i dont see any changes from the original texture.
Compared it to your screenshot of him and I really think the texture is missing from the pack

[Kris]

Crashing all the time (Win7 Ultimate, 64bit) and there's some odd looks with different effects on (invisibility, slow, etc.)

[PogS]

WS is not added yet. Tommorrow. I'll check the probs

[Fenrisulf]

Get a better video card with more graphic memory. Basically, the game crashes once it runs out of memory space to put the textures and models of the game.

my roommate has the same problems though and he has an alienware that can run almost any PC game u can find on max settings =/

[knallfrosch]

HoN afaik doesn't unload textures that aren't used anymore.

[BitE]

I changed the pagefile options on win7 (set it manually to 6gb,i have 4gb ram) and it seems i don't crash anymore (played 3 games in a row with no problem).
If you want to try do the same here is how:
Right click computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Performance settings > Advanced > Virtual memory Change.. > and then set a custom size.

I found a way to tone them down :), mostly. Plus I do not apply them on all parts, only on those that need it.
They are not uploaded yet these are previews. I already heavily reworked SwiftBlade this morning and the image reflects the new reskin. I may rework the other skins as well before the next upload.

Question Pogs How do you get that close to the heroes for screen shots what are the camera buttons ?

[m0ntyyy]

can you please bring a pack out without the savage 2 models? because their animations are not that good..

[Xelotath]

Dunno why, but Moon Queen kinda looks like Hitler to me.

[Snowyowl1]

Yeah a pack without Savage models please. Behemoth looks like a giant gummybear.

[Kyll3R]

can you please bring a pack out without the savage 2 models? because their animations are not that good..

+999

[PogS]

You can rotate the camera and zoom if you create a server in practice mode.

Erase the relevant Behemoth, Scout and Legionnaire folder in the S2z package if you don't like them. I'll make HoN model versions later when the rest is be done.

I've kept some early versions of PogS behemoth, maliken and scout (for legionaire i use axe hd so i didn't keep that one) for those of us who don't like S2 models.
Remember to delete their folders from resources1083 first.

The SwiftBlade face is a bit messed up (At least from what I can tell in the screenshot), maybe needs a rework before you upload it.

Love the others though, excellent work. :)

Pogs use the dark version of Blackryu's bloodhunter its 100times better.

[PogS]

I reworked my skin to give BH a more fleshy and darker look. Now it think It is fine. He now gets pustules and some are team coloured :

[suNNymoNsu]

how do u compress both the mediafire links? :S

[PogS]

I don't understand the question. This is only my S2z file that I split in 2 parts with a zip archiver.

[Acinod]

Is it just me or is everything too shiny and looks plastic

[PogS]

It's definitely more shiny than the standard skins but in game you don't see it much from the gaming view. Test it and see if you like it in game ;)

[SiMi_SS]

I dont know why you put so much effort in creating these savage textures. Everyone agreed they look worse than the original. While your other work is brilliant. Too bad you waste time on these savage2 models

[Vulpes]

I dont know why you put so much effort in creating these savage textures. Everyone agreed they look worse than the original.

No, No, No. While some are debatable (I dislike the new Behemoth, he looks like a chubby Baby), some are beyond awesome (the new Maliken is WIN).

[PogS]

I do not agree. I find Savage 2 models more detailed and they look better. This is not because only people that do not like them post messages that they are a majority.

[SiMi_SS]

Its true that you cant discuss tastes. I know that some savage2 models are more detailed but they seem out of place, like they dont belong in a hon universe, having the models metallic while the rest are more....coloured and glossy.
I think im jealous when i see you pop up 4 awsome remakes in a short while then having double the time spent on a savage2 remake.
Anyway, congrats on the latest release, keep em coming.

[BitE]

It's a matter of taste, the problem is that you can't see any buffs on them and that sucks no matter how detailed or pretty they are.

[Arigatex]

Thats for savage models or all reskinned? can/will this be fixed?

[sobral]

Hey man, I love your new models, but, Why you make the Accursed 2 handed- sword a 1 handed short sword... I mean its sux a little because its no more intimidating like a giant 2 handed sword, well , but all model rock a lot, good job! but, can see this plz? ^^

[SiMi_SS]

Could you please include all heroes in your first post so we know what heroes were changed?

For example i couldve sworn magebane has an improved texture, i checked your post, his name wasnt mentioned but on page 8 or so there is a pic of him being improved. I remember a pic of pharaoh aswell but hes not here, same case for forsaken.
Have they been removed from the package or you just forgot to add em?

[BitE]

Thats for savage models or all reskinned? can/will this be fixed?
Savage models only. Will be fixed when a proper importer comes out i guess.

[RayitoDorado]

congratulations !!
Great Job

I don't understand the question. This is only my S2z file that I split in 2 parts with a zip archiver.

ya i mean, after i download the file, how do i make it into a one s2z file ?

[theli]

It's a matter of taste, the problem is that you can't see any buffs on them and that sucks no matter how detailed or pretty they are.
if you are talking about overhead icons (silence/etc)
its cause they dont have bone '_bone_overhead' and that can be easily fixed once i finish blender exporter

[BitE]

ya i mean, after i download the file, how do i make it into a one s2z file ?
Copy the files inside resources1083_2.s2z into resources1083_1.s2z using a zip manager (winrar/7zip etc). But it works using both files too.


if you are talking about overhead icons (silence/etc)

Yes, silence/plague's armor/puppets hold etc. Waiting for it :D

[Namnel]

Very good job love it.
Zephyr looks nice..cant wait :D
But one question: Do all of you have to start the game after a match or 2?
And if the Teyture is updated, have I reinstall it?
How can I deinstall the mod?

but really nice job :D
The heroes look much better ingame

[Arigatex]

The mod is working now without problems on Win 7 64 Bit, FINALLY! Best mod ever. You just have to restart the game after every match.

Thanks for your effort so far and keep it up :cool:

[Amios]

some sort of hide would be nice for warbeast. I dont like the lavaish look

[FulgoreSama]

some sort of hide would be nice for warbeast. I dont like the lavaish look
I somewhat agree with this. I mean he seems sort of demonish not a problem obviously but he is a war beast and seems like they did make him a bit leathery.

Right now he looks like High Def Beef Jerky.

No prob with lieutenenant or dogs though

cause it looks like his face doesn't belong to him?


Great job, as always!!
:D

[BlacRyu]

Lol warbeast totally looks like Diablo.

Anyways I was trying to import some custom models for his hounds but they look worse than the HoN ones, but they have a cool looking effects file that works on the HoN models, I'll upload it in a bit.

If part of it looks kind of blurry don't worry, it's just the heat-wave refraction effects.


Download: resourcesWarBeast.s2z (http://www.mediafire.com/?euj0mte2nym)
It's got all of the HD Warbeast files, but I compressed some of the normal maps and stuff to save space/loading times. The color textures are still high res though and it looks just as good to me in-game. Up to you if you want to use those or not.


You can probably try throwing the effects onto his ultimate too.

[Slayer32890]

Why do the Savage 2 port characters look like ass? Scout has a terrible attack animation, and they way he moves looks like hes runing on hot coals the entire time and looks really lame. Malakin has some weird freaking colors in lifesteal mode. I wish you would just Upgrade the HON characters, instead of butchering them with old Savage Ports. They looked good at the time Savage was created, but Graphics have gotten better, Devourer doesnt have to look like ass becuase he looked like ass in Savage. :/ I loved this mod till those changes made some of the most common heroes look like complete idiots, whos attack animations dont even fit, nor does their profile pictures fit in with the other HON Cartoon effect Heroes.

Umm, yeah okay... Devourer hasn't even been imported yet. If the animations are off then please let me know and I will fix them, but I did try to make them match up.


I do realize there are some issues. For some people the game bugs and doesn't load the mods properly, there's not much I can do about this unless S2 fixes it. Also none of the imports currently have overhead effects bones, but this should be fixable when the blender importer/exporter is finished.


The main reason I did the ports was for people who played Savage 2 (I haven't yet), that's why I decided not to change things like icons and Malikens Lifesteal mode, which looks exactly how it did in Savage 2. Also I think they look ****in' hawt (especially you Behemoth <3).

If you really think that Savage 2 models don't look as good as HoN ones (...) or don't fit the game's theme, then feel free not to use them/remove them from his mod yourself. I didn't ask PogS to put these in his mod (not that I mind), and it's entirely up to him whether or not they are included.

[PogS]

Scout is looking as if walking on hot coals cause he's a .... scout and his invisibility relies on camouflage and doing no sound so it fits the game perfectly.

I found Warbeast was looking more like a pink pig than like a demon so I made him dark red like Diablo. This is what was intended. I tried making his skin fur but it did not look nice.
I see Hellhounds as servants of Malphas so they should look like him : hellish with molten lava. If you guys don't like him, erase the ability_04 folder from the archive to keep the standard one.

All Savage 2 models are better than their HoN counterparts because this is a fps and melee fighting game where you see them close. I'm confident we'll soon be able to fix the models and adapt the animations

I still work on all models.
This mod is STILL WIP so nothing is set into stone.

[BadAssKicker]

You keep telling people just to delete the Savage models from the file if they dont like it. That's cool, but it would be even cooler to have the HoN HD models for Legio, Behe etc from previous versions of this mod. I obviously deleted the old version back then, 'cause the newer one had to be better...until I discovered the Savage models. Sure they look awesome, but I want them to stay in Savage.

I would appreciate it, if the autor or someone could upload the HoN HD models for the current Savage models from the previous version of this mod, if that's possible.

[BitE]

I've kept some early versions of PogS behemoth, maliken and scout (for legionaire i use axe hd so i didn't keep that one) for those of us who don't like S2 models.

The rest looks great! thanks for your hard work :)
