Hey man thanks for credit, I logged in to check the forums and i saw 'Bloody Valkyrie' and i was like H-uh, someone beat Ryu to it. *looks @ thread* okay now this is epic, totally, gonna check it out now in-game and give as much feedback as possible. Also my name is only Axtrivium i just sign off with '~Sylus-Axtrivium' like right now. :P

Okay dude thats pretty sweet the only things i can find wrong is when she attacks normally the projectile still seems to be the old projectile? I think anyway im not too sure about that, her face looks a little fat but i think thats PogS HD texture? Oh and when she dies she reverts back to normal, other then that is fricken awesome dude, really well done.

Hope i can get as good as you one day :)

Yeah the trail is red but the Javelin itself is still gold, I'll see if I can fix that. The face looks the same on PogS. I'll try to fix the death animation too.

Like I said, I'm no artist. I haven't even used GIMP before but I've fiddled around with Paint.NET which has similar features. Thanks though lol.
Oh and I forgot to give credit to PogS again. Thanks PogS.

I'm off to bed now so I won't be getting anything fixed till later.

The trail of the Javelin.


resources0.s2z/heroes/valkyrie/ability_02/effects/trail.effect
And the death animation


resources0.s2z/heroes/valkyrie/effects/death_model/material.material
change all those color.tga to your texture. :)

(Not sure if this will work, but it should be working as intended)

EDIT:

You may need to change this file.


textures.s2z/00000000/heroes/valkyrie/effects/color.dds


not sure though.

[BlacRyu]

New version up, fixed the death animation to be Bloody and updated the attack animation to throw a Bloody javelin.

I also tweaked her texture a bit, including her face (even though you don't see it when you're actually playing :rolleyes:.)

New screenshots:

The javelin is moving downhill here btw, thats why the ring is off-center

New Icon preview:

[Sephinator]

Nice update. :)

[BlacRyu]

v0.5 up
Small update, just fixed the Leap buff to be Bloody during the first half second, and added the new icon.

Still open to suggestions and still waiting on a repository #


edit: does she look better smiling?

I'm just surprised I actually went through with it.


edit: Got an official number now, v1.0 up (or just rename v0.5 to resources1089.s2z)

[Axtrivium]

Very very nice Ryu, it looks great, I think she looks more evil with her smile :P

I was just wondering if you could change the skills names? If you can here's some ideas:

Call of the Fallen / Fallen's Cry / Screeching Banshees / Death's howl
Javelin of Blood / Bloody Javelin / Death's Javelin / Darkness Javelin / Javelin of Death
Terrifying Leap / Malevolent Leap / Malevolent Battle Cry
Death's Prism / Shadows Protection / Shadows Wraith / Shadows of the Hellbourne

They are pretty dark, gruesome and gorey I think, just some idea if you can change it and if you wanna use 'em.

Story: Legend tells of an ancient race of battle-women known as Valkyries, there once holy captain, has thus fallen to the hellbourne. The hellbourne did not kill the captain though, rather stripped her of everything to was human and gave her the thirst for the blood of her allies. So many she has kill, so many as her armor is coated with there blood. She now stalks the battlefield under her name 'Bloody Valkyrie'

1st Skill: The Bloody Valkyrie calls down her _(<skill name>)_ to damage any holy units.

2nd Skill: The Bloody Valkyrie summons the power of _(<skill name>)_ into her javelin and throws it towards her target. If any enemy is hit they will be damaged and stunned. Stun is based on distance traveled

3rd Skill: The Bloody Valkyrie screams out as she leaps into the battlefield. Any allied units near her will be inspired by her howls of the dead and gain movement and attack speed.

4th Skill: The Bloody Valkyrie uses the power of death/shadows and manipulates it to hide herself and allies behind it powers stealthing all units on the battlefield

Thats all i can come up with, if you can do it and like any feel free to use 'em. :)

she looks like a vampire and more evil nice job

[tyluh]

The smile is kinda creepy. I don't know if I'm against it or for it, but it definitely makes her more "dark."

Messing with stringtables is not a good idea. Just saying...

I like it but I've heard it's not a good idea to mess with the string tables :x

[Axtrivium]

Fair enough :(

For clarification though, why?

~Sylus-Axtrivium
I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is that since it's all stored in one file and you overwrite it in a mod then when s2 releases a new patch you will still have all the old strings.

[Axtrivium]

Ah okay i thought it might also do something like when you rename the skills and use it on another person it trys to use the 'new skill' can't find it and crashes the game etc.

~Sylus-Axtrivium

[NiGHTsC]

Haha, look at the 2nd SS, she looks like a freak, or aka The Joker :p

Wonderful job Ryu!!
