PogS Skins

[dooDer]

Thanks amdir, your directions definitely got me to get it to work. For everyone thats an idiot and doesnt wanna rename ****. heres a link of the straight s2z, already changed and everything.

[Hand`0f`God]

In S2 pack are changed all heroes to savage models or just a few from BlackRyu ?

[BitE]

Pestilence had a weird white glow so i compared your material file with the original and found out 2 lines were missing. I don't know if this was intended but it looked awful so I added them back and it looks much better now (imo).
Btw sometimes it's hard to distinguish melee creeps as both legion and hellbourne are too dark.

[Severd]

ive had trouble with this mod since 1024 was droped down to 512 it donst seem to be in a format of a .s2z file any more i get 2 folders in the zip?

[Amdir]

Delete your current one and install the new one and remember to rename it to a s2z file. I explained how you do that earlier in this post.

[PogS]

Please guys read the first post thoroughly : all is explained.

Bite,
All depends with the options you enable and the settings you are running the game with. The lines I removed are the pearl.tga layer which I don't like cause it makes the skin glitter too much to my taste with all options on.
I don't have these white reflections : http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/?view=./Textures/pestilence3.jpg

I'll lighten the melee creeps a bit ;)

[BitE]

I see, what are your settings? I have everything on and disabling post processing didn't help with the white glow :S Maybe it's an ati issue.
Now go work with that new Polly and Maliken :p

[PogS]

I have a Nvidia and run the game in opengl2.

[Laiev]

nvm... founded :P

[_Wolf_]

mirrors dont work

[Wortesque]

Damn with the 3.0.2 my Maliken is very shitty, the only one, other heroes looks fine :///

http://i42.tinypic.com/15nu6iv.jpg

[_Wolf_]

i dont get it, i renamed the file and maxed out my settings but the textures arent applying >.>
it was working just fine on my desktop

[BadAssKicker]

Maliken and Pollywog need updates :o

[PogS]

You really expect ppl to download a huge 100mb pack every time you do a minor update?

[BadAssKicker]

Dragon is right, so here is a smaller package to update the ALREADY existing mod. It's about 30 mb. You can open this archieve with WinRar or a similar program and replace the folders. Shouldn't be a big deal.

[Gallien]

take me 3 minutes to download it now. ill keep doing it even if his files become 2gb and takes me over an hour. appreciate the hard work he is doing and shutup

[ReDsKiN]

people have different connections, 100mb=1hr for me... I don't mind waiting

[chibi22]

tnx pogs for the hardwork and badasskicker for the uploads keep it up guys!

[Jaycoob]

Wow! thanks for the Maliken 0.3. version! cuz the current texture they have for the new maliken sux and is way too cartoony! :D

[PogS]

I release but it's up to you to download it or not. If you don't want to, don't blame me for releasing it to those who wants to download it. If people have a slow connection this is not my fault...
Thanks again BadAss for your uploads :)

[Hand`0f`God]

yes i will 30mb/100mb isnt such a big deal....

Sorry guys I can't post screenshots as the print screen key does not work anymore with the patch 0.3. You'll have to test yourselves.

The textures used there are already "hd" (512x512) and there's no team color so white looks bad imo.

Is there any way to fix pestilence's glowing skin. i tried downloading the nvidia and opengl2 thing but i dont rly understand whut to rly do with it after i download. i even tried doing the same thing as Bite but im the unexperienced to change anythin

[BadAssKicker]

Pogs I uploaded the whole package and a smaller update one. You put the update links in four first post. That would be confusing for people who download it the first time. Here it is again:

Here (http://www.mediafire.com/?zinfzinrftf)
I only changed the material.material, I didn't touch the skin. Btw the "nvidia and opengl2" thing isn't something you download, you just add --opengl2 or something like that in your shortcut target and the game runs on opengl instead of directx.

[stoshy]

Thanks Bite for the file upload :D and badasskicker i downloaded the new patch but it still glowed for me but it's fixed now thanks.

[stoshy]

Is anyone using any textures for HoN? i tried making the .s2z fil into a .zip them pasting them into the HD pack but when i start the game they just turn into teapots >.> am i doing somethin wrong or do the skins need updates?

[PogS]

Be more specific as I fail to understand what you did ;)

[stoshy]

ok shure. for example i used the darth maul texture for mage bane... changed the "s2z" into "zip" and i took the files inside the zip and placed it into your HD pack. i think thats what u said on the first post right?

[Hand`0f`God]

ok shure. for example i used the darth maul texture for mage bane... changed the "s2z" into "zip" and i took the files inside the zip and placed it into your HD pack. i think thats what u said on the first post right?

just open PogS HD pack with winrar delete magebane(javaras) folder and copy downloaded darth maul .s2z file right into Heroes of Newerth\game\

[stoshy]

o i get it now :D whut i did was paste it into PogS HD pack... i guess that was the problem :P

[DrDizzle]

Edit: Nm got it to work. :P

[stoshy]

i also have another question: is there any way to fuse both a texture pack and PogS HD pack so it can HD texture??? im not trying to start anything with this question... jus wonderin if it's possible :|

[PogS]

I don't get what you mean.

whut i did was i opened up the resources1083_512.s2z and changed the s2z into zip so i cud look in the files inside. as u stated in first post, u said to delete the hero file in the 512 pack, and finally place the texutre pack into the Heroes of Newerth/game/, which i did. whut im asking, is can u place the HD files into the texture pack for example: i take PogS [HD] panda files and put them into the texture "Tigermonium". if i remember there was a guide on how to fix mods for the 0.3.X update, so i jus did alot of compressing and extracting. if u dont rly understand my question u dont have to answer it.

Sry for the spamming D:

oh no i forgot this was my other acc x.x

i fail for spamming DD:

[Leumasx7]

im guessing this does not work with HoN mod manager =(

[MaxGhost]

im guessing this does not work with HoN mod manager =(

It doesn't need to. Actually, it's better if it doesn't, because it would hang your computer for a good few minutes while it compiles a 300mb into another .s2z

You can use .s2z mods just fine along with .honmods, as long as you don't use two .s2z mods that edit the same files.

so whut u mean is i can use the HD skin with a texture rite?

[MaxGhost]

No. HoN doesn't have skins. They're called textures. They are 2D image files wrapped around 3D models.

[PogS]

Skins are character textures. Nothing to do with HoN or not. A texture is a generic term while skin applies specifically and originally to characters.

[zakk21]

waaa i got an issue here pls help.. @_@ i'd downloaded this file only resources1083.s2z then copy paste it on the /game folder.. xD nothing happens... i didnt open that file into .zip yet... i just download, copy, paste.. no work...

[Amdir]

you got to change the extension to s2z... I explained how you do that earlier.

[zakk21]

right now im downloading the new version that he uploaded on the first part of page 52.. after whch i download, then ill just put it in the /games folder then thats it?..

[PogS]

yep :)

[Static]

First off, thank you for making this mod. When I first installed it, I didn't expect much out of it, but every hero looks INCREDIBLE. So far my favorite by far is corrupted disciple - when he ults, the lightning on his hat-thing is perfect, and everything about him is just beautiful.

One thing I am wondering though is...are you considering - at all - making a high definition map and other mob skin pack? I know it would be taxing on most computers, but for those of us (like myself) who have the computers that can handle this, these amazing looking heroes look almost out of place in this cartoony looking world of newerth. Things like better water textures/animations, higher definition trees, better grass...I've seen videos of people who have made their own animated things of HoN where heroes walk and brush aside the grass next to them as they walk down the path, and if that could be shown in game I would play this game 24/7, and I know some people that don't even play HoN now would get in on it just because of how pretty it would be.

Regardless. This is by far the best mod I've ever installed, and THANK YOU!

[Aengus]

Well this models, they look excellent. However i cannot seem to figure out how to install this mod. Could you include a readme or something that has very clear instruction as rename all the zip files(theirs only 1?!?!) to s2z isn't very clear and i just don't get how to install this awesome mod

[chibi22]

^its a zip file just rename the file into this...resources1083.s2z

[madmonk1]

same here :/

I've donwloaded the mod from -> http://rapidshare.com/files/368477380/resources1083_512.zip but don't get what to rename );

A small tutorial how to install the mod would be great =)

[Hand`0f`God]

^^Srsly guys CAN U READ ??????? this is on first page: - Installing is easy : Rename the zip files into .s2z ones and drop them to your HoN/game folder. I dont get what is so hard to understand just rename from resources_1083.zip into resources_1083.s2z and put it into Heroes of Newerth\game so tell me how can be it sipmler ?

If it had an installer ^.-

and thank you chibi i will try that

[chibi22]

@madmonk or simply change the .zip file name extension to .s2z get it??

[Amdir]

Look. If you are on Windows 7 or Windows Vista you first got to go into one of your folders and then pres ALT. A menu bar pops up. Press Tools and Folder Options. Press the tab VIEW and then scroll down until you find "HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES" and uncheck it. Press OK. Now you will find that all files has their extensions after them so the resource file should be named: resources1083_512.zip (depending on which one you chose). Click the file and press F2. Delete the extension .zip and write .s2z instead. Now you are done.

Open Computer, Go into your Local Disc, After that Program Files (by default), Heroes of Newerth, and put the file in the game folder contained there.

If you still want to delete some of the heroes from the "mod" you can open the resources1083_512.zip with WinRAR or 7-ZIP (both available for free from the web). With them you open the file and go to the map heroes contained inside it and delete the hero folder you want to take away.

Hope this helps.

Pestilence had a weird white glow so i compared your material file with the original and found out 2 lines were missing. I don't know if this was intended but it looked awful so I added them back and it looks much better now (imo).
Btw sometimes it's hard to distinguish melee creeps as both legion and hellbourne are too dark.

http://i39.tinypic.com/eqxmad.jpg


hey mine is like that too, is there some reason why its glowing white?

[MethalyuN]

The game works fine with the updated 512x512 pack uploaded in rapidshare but it's crashing all the time with the 1024x1024 texture pack.... Could you fix it please??? Your work is awesome and i want to thank you for this awesome pack!! I'm playing in 1920x1080 and with the higher resolution texture pack is even better!!!

BTW it's not my computer fault...
Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.6Ghz
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L
4GB Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz
Sapphire HD4890 VaporX 1GB
Corsair 450VX

Thanks alot sir.

[MethalyuN]

hey mine is like that too, is there some reason why its glowing white?

Please can you tell me which line you changed? I want to remove the white glow and i don't have the old files anymore

[n0n]

I downloaded the 512 pack, but Jeraziah's texture is the Jera2 version. Can you fix it to have the Jera3 version?

[chibi22]

The game works fine with the updated 512x512 pack uploaded in rapidshare but it's crashing all the time with the 1024x1024 texture pack.... Could you fix it please??? Your work is awesome and i want to thank you for this awesome pack!! I'm playing in 1920x1080 and with the higher resolution texture pack is even better!!!
.

just use the 512x512 since the difference between 1024x1024 is hardly unrecognizable and 1024x1024 package cost a lot of memory leak

@non what does jera3 version look like??

If you want to remove the white lines on pestilence, go to page 52, post 1040. BitE uploaded an s2z that i requested. ^^

[PogS]

The 1024 version is not updated anymore because of memory leaks that cause frequent crashes.

I don't have the white layer on Pestilence when I play but to remove them, add the pearl.tga layer back as bitE did.

Both Jereziah versions are included into the mod. To change the default version, edit the zip with a zip archiver that support updates like 7zip, go into heroes/jereziah folder, rename material.material file into material3.material then rename material2.material into material.material and 7zip will update the file. That's it.

That pink is teamcolor right? Or u make him gay ? :D

[MethalyuN]

Thank you.


The 1024 version is better (My computer is also HTPC and i'm using my LCD 40" 1080p here and that's why the 1024 textures was much better) but since it's hard to fix the memory leak i'm gonna stick with the 512 version.. Thanks alot for the help guys!!

[PogS]

He is pink. But when looking at him from game view he does not look gay ;)

[chibi22]

@pogs better if you make it more like purple?? rather than pink?? since his corruppted? or just like the color of his lightning

[Aengus]

Haha thanks mate when i did that it showed .s2z.zip XD so I hope it will work now.

[Davehz]

Purple/dark purple would fit him better than the pink color imo, so I'll second chibi22

[PogS]

Ok I'll make him more purple for you anti gay/pink guys ;)

Improved Jereziah :

http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Textures/jereziah2.jpg

By any chance, cud u change up Pandamonium a little bit?? He ones of my favorite heroes to use and i have the Yin Tang Effects for him and a little change up on him will make him even more loveable :D

[GoldMath]

New Jereziah : wooo

[Durandal_]

I dunno if anyone has reported this, I wasn't willing to read through 20+ pages to find out, so if they have, I'm sincerely sorry

Your pestilence skin, is extremely shiny, so bright it hurts to look at, perhaps you can remedy this at some point.

Or it could be just me

Also, Ophelia's hair is shiny too!

I have all graphics turned up at max, no problems, and I have reflections on

Yes there has been a few posts about the pestilence skin being shiny. actually there is a file u can download on post #1040. jus place that into yer heroes of newerth/game/ folder but i never seen 1 about ophelia's hair being shiny.

[Amdir]

Nice work with Jeraziah. A hero I would like to see a change in is Pollywog priest. Right now I prefer the S2 skin in front of your - Pogs - because your is a bit too light green etc. I kinda like the "darker" Pollywog. Other than that I can't really think of anything special to comment. Maybe you should take a look at Zephyr? His wings are maybe a bit too detailed right now but that might just be me.

And a little suggestion:
Make Valkyries hair white or golden - not orange! And it would be awesomely cool if Valkyries wing could glow or something.

[PogS]

Improved Valkyrie : I finally managed to remove the glossiness.
http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Textures/Valkyrie.jpg

[MaxGhost]

I like it. The glow is still a bit much though.

[PogS]

around the shield ?

[MaxGhost]

Yeah, and the upper legs.

Jeraziah in comparison doesn't have that much of a glow, but he looks great.

[chibi22]

@pogs can you remove the blue at her spear?? and just make it gold?? imo guess its better if she have a plain golden spear

[dandylion]

Blue would be (I'm guessing) player color?

[chibi22]

^yah its player color but it will be good imo if its just plain gold

[PogS]

I can't remove the glow around the shield. It does not come from the glow layer, certainly from an effect I cannot find.

Improved Legionnaire:
http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Textures/lego3.jpg

just wonderin, whenever u give out the pics of the new improved heroes, r the updates already in place or do we have to was for badasskicker to do the updating

[ReDsKiN]

Pogs shows us what he has updated then releases these new updatesin a pack for us to download containing all the textures. Badasskicker then reuploads it to mediafire

so rite after he shows us the picks we can b assured that its on his website?

[PogS]

No I say it when i upload a new package.

[FulgoreSama]

I can't remove the glow around the shield. It does not come from the glow layer, certainly from an effect I cannot find.

Improved Legionnaire:
http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Textures/lego3.jpg
The skin on his hands look like a elephants ass.

[Hand`0f`God]

I like it. The glow is still a bit much though.

I like that glowing on heroes i dont know why u all wanna remove it, it looks better with decent glow, like on valk i dont see any problem with that glowing its OK imo, she had armor on body so why not make armor shiny? Only pesti was too shiny and that was solved already...

[MaxGhost]

The glowing is unrealistic. That's the only reason I don't like it.

[Naith]

The glowing is unrealistic. That's the only reason I don't like it.

all trees have the same height, thats unrealistic!!!



very nice textures pogs!, can i use any for some recolors?

[Amdir]

Good job with legionnaire :)

[AethGorr]

Great work.
One question: how to use "update 30mb" when i already have usual 133mb-version of this mod?

[RageModeON]

I seriously don't understand how you make these work.. been trying for an hour now.

[Davehz]

extract the files to the /game/ folder
should work

[chibi22]

The glowing is unrealistic. That's the only reason I don't like it.

a magma walking and talking thats unrealistic...

[MaxGhost]

a magma walking and talking thats unrealistic...

You know that's not what I was talking about.

Nothing glows in real life unless you're crazy. I just don't find it realistic. If you can't fix it, meh, no big deal :P

[WolveZCodeX]

This package is amazing although i wont use it since it makes my game spike a lot. And i dont like messing too much with settings so ill stick to what i have. :)
Great job btw

[PogS]

The glows are magic things. I guess the glows around Valk shield represent the holiness of it. This is an effect not a texture thing. It is there on the default Valkyrie skin too.

[Hand`0f`God]

You know that's not what I was talking about.

Nothing glows in real life unless you're crazy. I just don't find it realistic. If you can't fix it, meh, no big deal :P

Well girl with wings and invisible ability isnt realistic too :smile: however i got your point but this is fantasy everything here looks more fancy because thats a way of this style, and with that glowing it looks more fancy and "HD" but its just my opinion....

[chibi22]

Nothing glows in real life unless you're crazy

yah...thats why we got the moon...

[ReDsKiN]

What does the sun do then?
(It all revolves around semantics...)

Also, why does it seem that Legionnare's right shoulder is blurry
and levels seem off for his skin, although it may just be the lighting/bloom effect you are into :p

[PogS]

Some parts are blurry because of the uv map. I can't do anything about it.

I uploaded the new 512 package :

Improved Corrupted Disciple
Improved Jereziah
Improved Valkyrie
Improved Legionnaire
Improved Swiftblade
New Hellbourne and Legion tree textures
New Hellbourne and Legion well textures

[chibi22]

tnx POGS by the way did you remove the gay part of Corrupted??

[PogS]

I made him more purple if that is what you mean ;)

[ReDsKiN]

Awesome awesome awesome ^^

[PogS]

I uploaded an improved version of Legionnaire screenshot. See above (p56).
I improved the blade of the ax and made his skin darker. It will be available next update

I cannot improve the hands as the bulk comes from the model but it is not noticeable in game view. Remember that most small parts of most models are purposefully enlarged (thus not realistic) to be visible from game view. For example female legs are over-sized.

[chibi22]

ow you make him tan which makes him more barbaric nice job!!

[Amdir]

Still think pollywog should be made more dark as he is in the S2 skin now. :)

[PogS]

I'll work on it later.

For now here is a new Legionnaire skin : Savage Legionnaire (without team colour)

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

Download skin (http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Packages/resources1083_Savage_Legionnaire.zip)

[chibi22]

Tiki tiki!! Waikiki!! Nc pogs!

[KaliKot]

wtb separate packages for each hero

500mb is too hefty for a texture package since I only want a few of them

[PogS]

500 Mb ? The 512 package is only 200 Mb... It contains all 60 Heroes, trees, some buildings, creeps... Not much for all that ;)

I made Pollywog Priest darker as requested ;)

[Kalec]

is there any way in heaven or hell to get the old HD pestilence back ? the non yellow one that glows like the sun ? (the fact that he remains yellow but doesn't glow is not a bonus)

[LastDragon`]

New tribal legio rocks! gj

[Hand`0f`God]

is there any way in heaven or hell to get the old HD pestilence back ? the non yellow one that glows like the sun ? (the fact that he remains yellow but doesn't glow is not a bonus)

go few pages back someone upload new pesti without glows...

[MaxGhost]

PogS, 200+mb is alot when you have a 20gb bandwidth cap per month. Not everyone can afford high bandwidth caps. France has very cheap internet.

[BadAssKicker]

New version on your website up?

[PogS]

I am sorry for capped bandwidth users but either I update my packages for those who don't have such limitations, either I do not for those who have. There will be unhappy guys anyway. I cannot afford time I don't have much to make and update individual packages for 60 heroes + NPCs + buildings... If someone is willing to separate the files for everyone, that's fine for me.
I'll make 2 packages : one for Heroes and one for World (NPCs, buildings, etc).

Here is a preview of the improved BlackSmith :
I added details on the gloves, made them leathery rather than cloth and added sewing points. I also reworked the boots. I enhanced many details so that we see them more. I also reworked the team colours.

New Defiler skin preview :
http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Textures/defiler.jpg

that mask/face? looks a bit wierd...

[SleepingCow]

awsome but you cant see when night hound is invinsble?

[chibi22]

LOL at defiler!! its SARAH CONNOR!!!

[Amdir]

Prefer original defiler face though.

[Arigatex]

Omg defilator!

[Veoto]

Okay, I'm probably an idiot. But I download one entire zip file. Am I supposed to extract that? or just rename the zip? because if I just rename the zip, its still a zip file.. which makes no sense. Quick walk through would be appreciated. Also, the models are lovely.

[PogS]

If you are on Windows 7 or Windows Vista you first got to go into one of your folders and then pres ALT. A menu bar pops up. Press Tools and Folder Options. Press the tab VIEW and then scroll down until you find "HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES" and uncheck it. Press OK. Now you will find that all files has their extensions after them so the resource file should be named: resources1083_512.zip (depending on which one you chose). Click the file and press F2. Delete the extension .zip and write .s2z instead. Now you are done.

I added Amdir's walkthrough on the first page.

According to your comments, I modified Defiler's face. I gave her a tortured mask I hope you will like :

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

Download the skin on my website: http://pogs.free.fr/HoN

[Veoto]

Thanks so much. The file extensions on windows 7 were killing me. Looks awesome now, thanks again.

[Hand`0f`God]

^Fish is better then terminator however i still like original :defi: face ...

[SAFAD]

can't see difrence...

[PogS]

It's because I updated the preview picture so both posts are identical now ;) The previous version had an iron death skull mask.

[Arigatex]

now she looks like -> 8-0
don't get me wrong she looks better but I'm not very convinced about the mouth....its like shes surprised or something.....maybe removing the mouth hole at all?

[sambo2]

defilers new look is awesome imo

[Davehz]

I want the old defiler face, liked it more than the fish, otherwise its awesome.

[Gallien]

personally i prefer the old defiler face

[Naith]

wtf.. get defiler a face.. no mask!

[GoldMath]

Need Chirpel HD !! :D

[PogS]

I made a first version available on my website ;)

[Shinrah]

just wondering which 1 do i download for the most updated version? the heroes package?

[Lizardman]

Just wanted to say, very good job :)

[PogS]

Heroes package are Heroes only, World features NPCs, buildings, trees,...
Complete contains both. The new defiler and Chipper are separate packages.

[Etaphreven]

a suggestion for pharoah, can you make him not so dark? you can barely see anything, he looks like chocolate with fancy bands

[sAtiva_]

and what about the chipper? =))

[PogS]

The Chipper is on my site ;)

[ReDsKiN]

wow even updates on the skills for Chipper

Downloading ^^

[PogS]

Now it is. I forgot to made it a zip. After testing Chronos ult orb effects are not good, we cannot see well inside the bubble so erase the 3 orb files in chronos/ability_04/effects folders for now. I'll rework them for next update.

And what about 1024 package?

-.- dominnus... u shud at least skim the pages becuz PogS already said he will not b updating 1024 package cuz it crashes more for most of the computer out there >.>... i dont know why 512 crashes for u...

[ReDsKiN]

I have used the latest 512 package and have crashed alot, maybe 2-5 times PER GAME
This is the heroes pack, world pack and the chipper.
My thoughts were that as you have changed the skills, it might be something wrong with them (like a line incorrect) or it may be just my HoN likes crashing alot

[Hand`0f`God]

Nice changes pogs love behemot's skin and devourer with succ looks more evil now like it :smile:

[Dominus_Nox]

-.- dominnus... u shud at least skim the pages becuz PogS already said he will not b updating 1024 package cuz it crashes more for most of the computer out there >.>... i dont know why 512 crashes for u...

I remember that one of my crashes with 512skins was when Valk hits Defiler with Javlin. I was Demented. As i saw my crashes was when we got epic battles. With 1024 skins i can play all game normally. Dunno why.

Pogs Plz, i really need 1024skins...

[PogS]

Dominus, did you try running the game in OpenGL mode rather than the default DirectX one ? See first page for explanations on how to do this. It may help to remove the crashes.

I upadated the Chipper zip with improved skin.

[ReDsKiN]

For people having crashes its because of the ability overload. They made me get an extra DC on my game list :(

Is there a changelog ( or a fast way to see which heroes have updated ability textures)?


edit: I will try the OpenGL thing and hope it works. Are there any side effects from changing the renderer?

[PogS]

I updated the chipper zip only. the full 512 hero package will be updated later with the improved chipper. Just patch the chipper folder in the s2z.

I made a new skin for Pandamonium :
It is available as a separate zip on my site.

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

[chibi22]

wow!! panda is now more fierce!! than ever!!

[Davehz]

That panda is just awesome

[Amdir]

Nice work with panda. :)

[PogS]

I made a new version of Pyromancer :

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

[chibi22]

wow!! pogs!! you should have done this at first!! you should reskin them all its more freaking awesome than s2s model!!

[n0n]

Could you keep Savage Legionnaire separate? You've got a separate download for it and included it in the pack. I like it, but right now, he has zero teamcolor, and so would like to keep the other version.

[PogS]

I added team colouring and updated the archive on my site ;)

[Dokramuh]

Hope you have chipper and new polywog soon!

[PogS]

They are in the package ;)

[mansattack]

This mod is great but it made my game crash like crazy, almost every time the game started and every now and then throughout. Removing the mod put me back to 100% stability.

[PogS]

It must be a memory problem. Increase your RAM or use a software like Game Booster (http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html)to free up ram before playing.

I further improved Pyro : The picture in post 1181 reflects the improvements and i updated the individual package on my site.

[Over9000]

excuse me if i'm being dumb, but do i pick the smaller numbered (512) 'complete' pack or the 1024 'outdated'?

[`Savannah]

Help please :(
I can't get it to work..

What I did:
Downloaded from here ->
http://www.mediafire.com/?mn3yzd0ucwm

Then extracted the files I wanted through 7zip
But the files came out as folder files, and it wouldn't become a .s2z file so I made them archive .zip files first, then renamed it to .s2z ..
Then I put them all on HoN folder, it didn't work, so I put them on the game folder instead, and still won't work..
Help please D:
I probably did something wrong but I don know what.. Also I'm on Windows Vista..
> ->

[PogS]

Get the 512 package.
Do not extract the files, just rename the .zip file into .s2z file. Explanations are on first page.

[mansattack]

It must be a memory problem. Increase your RAM or use a software like Game Booster (http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html)to free up ram before playing.

I further improved Pyro : The picture in post 1181 reflects the improvements and i updated the individual package on my site.

I have 6gb of system ram and 1gb of video ram, I doubt it's that.

[PogS]

Then try running the game in OpenGL mode. See instructions on first page.

Improved Moon Queen :
I added and enhanced details, added more team coloured parts.

[GRabbit]

PogS youre the greatest.

For the new updates, i had to reistall my HoN and with all the files inside i deleted the Pestilence no glow file... can anyone upload for me or can show me how to fix it again?

[PogS]

I think I fixed it in the latest package. Is it the case ?

[Amdir]

The new moonqueen is really great!

[Etaphreven]

a suggestion for pharoah, can you make him not so dark? you can barely see anything, he looks like chocolate with fancy bands

[AIDSpread]

awesome

[PogS]

Did you try the latest version ? I lighten his skin, tell me if it's not enough ;)

[PogS]

Not all. Check on the site.

New Magebane :
Package on my site.

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

[ReDsKiN]

New magebane reminds me of prince of persia..

[MaxGhost]

I don't think I like the colors on him. Pink and gold is.... meh.

[sAtiva_]

the site only has the chipper, panda and savage legio, can u plz upload the others individually?

[ReDsKiN]

He updates the site with packages for individual heroes after the main pack is created. Imagine Transaction and master files, master file created for everything then transaction files for updates. After time he compiles all then process repeats.

Individual packs have been mentioned before and from what i remember the answer was "no" (unless he makes update)

[PogS]

I improved Magebane according to your comments : less pink more purple, added details, etc... Package updated.

[Amdir]

Thanks PogS :)

[Amdir]

I'd like to see a legionnaire with more dark green armour/tatto etc... Like in Savage 2. Or maybe like the same patterns like in the Savage 2 legionnaire armour but the team colour would be the armor colour etc... http://www.savage2.com/en/gp_units.php?unit=legionnaire

http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/860/860794/savage-2-a-tortured-soul-20080319013607048.jpg

the site only has the chipper, panda and savage legio, can u plz upload the others individually?

On site is pyro, magebane, defiler and moonqeen too I've downloaded them from that site...

[Amdir]

And maybe you could give the new hero Fade (if you looked in the test client) some more clothes? :P

[PogS]

test client ?

[Amdir]

Well there's a test client like the beta's beta. There you can check out new stuff like new heroes. Information about that in general beta testing forum.

[GoldMath]

I remove world, building, and no more crash (before 1 or 2 crash per games :/)

PS: Awesome Heroes skin ;)

[BadAssKicker]

I remove world, building, npc, and no more crash (before 1 or 2 crash per games :/)

Did the same, had lots of crashes with the other stuff. Only heroes works fine.

I really don't know why. I have a powerful PC...must be Win7 64 Bit.

one question ... how can I get rid of pestilence ... I love your pack man, but the yellow pesti si horrible

[Amdir]

Nice stuff. :) Keep up the "number 2" improvements!

[Godoroja]

PogS, thank you for this wonderful pack. You really rock. If you are not the best texturer here, you are certainly one of the best. And keep the "number 2" improvements going, as Amdir said. They are AWESOME!

[Atticah]

WHERE IS THE CHIPPER?
Silver Robot?
Mini Predator inside?

[PogS]

The Chipper package is on my site. Check ;) But right I forgot to post a screenshot of him. I'll fix this.

[lightonokira]

the updated version do i have to replace it or just paste it inside the archive?

[PogS]

Paste it i guess.

[Amdir]

When I replace a texture I just delete the hero folder from the s2z archive and then paste in the new hero folder.

[obliterate22]

are there any links to download these textures one by one?
i'm looking for only some of 'em. seems can't find it on the site, only a few of them.

btw, great work. nice textures :)

[Amdir]

No you got to download the package, then you can delete those you don't want from it.

[Godoroja]

PogS, can you please make (or tell me how to make) your pyromancer_2 skin keep the orange/red flames when making Staff of the Master on him. I really dislike the blue flames and I feel it makes him less, well, FIERY. Please? Thank you in advance.

[ReDsKiN]

I think his point of blue flames was to be fiery...as blue is hotter than yellow/orange

[Godoroja]

I think his point of blue flames was to be fiery...as blue is hotter than yellow/orange

I know that blue flame is the hottest. But I dislike the fact that, when he doesn't have Staff of the Master, the flames really go well with his costume, and when he has the staff, the flames ruin his outfit. And now, seriously, is this such a hard thing to do? Changing the color? Is it too much of a request? I asked nicely you now...with a cherry on top. :p Orange flame pyromancer for the win! :pyro:

[chibi22]

is the new 512 hero package contains the new texture rework of pogs?? like panda,pyro,etc..etc..

[ReDsKiN]

He has the main file than any updates he makes are put onto his site in singular hero packages, then after he puts them all into the big pack and the process repeats itself

[MethalyuN]

Awesome work!! You're the best PogS!! Keep up the good work dude because i love everything you've done so far! :D

[Cyra]

one question ... how can I get rid of pestilence ... I love your pack man, but the yellow pesti si horrible
Open the .s2z with winrar or some other tool, then just go into the heroes folder and delete Pesti's folder. Same with any others you want changed, I personally removed probably about a third of the heroes from the package due to different tastes or feeling they're still to much 'old-styled' (this means they're made out of plastic and reflect a stupid amount of light, some of the skins still suffer from this)

[PogS]

I'll look into the effects to see how I can change that. This is new to me : I never worked on effects but this is the occasion to start learning on it and once I understand how it works, it may add new possibilities to me to customize skins :)

[BadAssKicker]

[Gallien]

<3 it pogs

question: when downloading hero updates can i just place them as s2z files with the other resource files or do i need to edit the 512 hero package with the updated heroes and place the files into that 1 big s2z

[PogS]

It's better to update the big s2z else it will load the files twice and use more memory.

[VioletClown]

I dont understand how to install this... Could someone explain to me please (step by step)? How to install the mod + the updates. I have windows XP.

sorry, spanish is my main language ._.

[TheOSC]

yea idk either every time i try and apply any updated files to it it won't paste in... I tried opening as an archive on 7z and just trying to directly mod the zip files... I think I am doing it wrong...

[Atticah]

I dont understand how to install this... Could someone explain to me please (step by step)? How to install the mod + the updates. I have windows XP.

when you download a file it's usually something like this
resources1083_Jereziah_blue.zip (http://pogs.free.fr/HoN/Packages/resources1083_Jereziah_blue.zip)

Extract and RENAME to

(This is what i Do)
resourcesSKINS.s2z <--- .s2z changes the file type

then whenenever you download a skin open the resourcesSKINS folder with winrar and put your download into the heroes folder

***RESOURCESKINS.s2z opens into HEROES***

all your hero textures should be in that hero folder

[Arigatex]

bajate el package 512 le cambias la extension al archivo de .zip a .s2z si lo hiciste bien el icono deberia cambiar o te deberia salir un anuncio diciendo q lo cambiaste por lo menos en mi caso y despues lo pegas en la carpeta game....si no te funciona probablemente en las opciones de carpeta tienes q cambiar la opcion de mostrar extensiones de los archivos

[PogS]

I updated the Pyromancer package to 2.1
- reskinned glove details
- added custom Staff of the Master effect (orange)

I also updated Jeraziah package to 2.1
- effects uses Jereziah new skin
- added more team colours parts

[Godoroja]

Thank you PogS, for fulfilling my pyromancer request. I really appreciate it.

[SHiRKiT]

PogS this is the best mod on the game. It would be too much if I ask for you to do the all buildings too? It would be just perfect! Great game in great graphics. I think S2 could look at your work.

[PogS]

I updated Valkyrie. Package on the site.

[n0n]

The valkyrie package is broken.

[PogS]

I fixed it :)

I started working on buildings but it doe not look so good considering the memory usage so it's better not to. Else it makes the game crash a lot more.
