Aggron Stonebreaker Mod for Hon
Version 1.5

This is a mod for everyone who misses the old ogre magi from Dota and wants him back. I'm not able to convert the Wc3 Model for Hon but I thought that the neutral creep ogre model would be better than nothing. Here is the result:

I have used the blue neutral ogre and gave him a burning hammer. The mod also brings back the old dota tooltips, icons and sounds (voice and bloodlust sound).
Here is the link:

There is also a video preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOh8YKvMgM) to the mod made by Dederd (thank you very much) which shows the main features of the mod quite good.

Version 1.5:
Well i was away for quite some time and now i've fixed some quick things and set up a new resource2005.s2z which works. It is without stringtables and stuff because it makes it too hard for me if i have to make new versions with every patch. I will make a new one later probably. The .honmod file wasnt working anyway after all these patches. Have fun :D.

Here is the download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4mtdyzttwik

How to install: Just put the resource2005.s2z into the "game" folder of your HoN.

Changelog 1.5:
-Everything works again now

-Now works again with 1.65
-removed border of the bloodlust icon

Changelog 1.3:
-Now works again with 1.64

[BlacRyu]

Nice job, now we just need to give him another head :)

[gwho1]

thx

You can make it yourself by enabling only this mod in the manager and Applying, then renaming resources999.s2z to something for this mod.

[Arckanum]

Here is your s2z i've copied it out of the mod manager s2z and tested it only once. It will most likely give problems with other mods because it replaces the stringtable files but if you have no problems with the normal tooltips use the second file.

Without stringtables:

nice job!

[MaxGhost]

I suggest you put your .s2z in your OP and request a number in the repository if you want it moved.

[Arckanum]

The s2z is now also in the Main Post. @MaxGhost: I have already requested a mod number but thanks for the hint :O.

2005 is yours.

[Arckanum]

Thanks :)

[Dederd]

He doesn't make any sound when he hits stuff
Could you fix that?

[Arckanum]

I'll look into that. It will come out with the next version (soon) which also changes the flamming hammer into a red bottle (voodoo jester).

[Arckanum]

Version 1.1 is out! It fixes your sound issue and turns the flaming hammer into a red bottle just like the one in dota. Download link is in the main post. The s2z files are updated too.

[BlacRyu]

So I tried to give him another head, but I'm giving up. It's getting really tedious trying to get it positioned and rotated correctly, especially when I have to restart the game after every little adjustment.

Also, I can't draw ;P, so I just copied over part of the icon to make a makeshift texture.

If you want to try it here's what I had so far: http://www.mediafire.com/?wmmytqjitqz (I used the s2z version)

Or if you want to start yourself from scratch all I did was copy over the head folder from Torturer's files (heroes\xalynx) and then edit fire.effect to attach the head to his model.

Lol thats a nice idea but the second head looks rather strange. Hmm i'm not good a making textures but i'll give it a try too. Thanks for your work :).

That was a clip error and should have been fixed with 1.1

[Kyll3R]

Version with Bottle and 2 heads?

http://www4.pic-upload.de/06.01.10/me2mefbyyf4i.jpg + http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/BlacRyu/th_shot0049.jpg

[TrueLolzor]

Remove the autocast frame from bloodlust, please.
And yes, in hon icons looks better without any frames at all(portrait included).
Change hit sound, if you able to. Present doesnt fits to mace@fist smash.
And, if you able, scale his attack animation speed a little, so he hits when he really does.

[gummiwipfel]

well, the autocast-border of the icon is just DotAlike :)

yep i could do that but the head doesn't really look good as it is now. My tests to get the head into a nice shape were without success so far and I'm nearly ready to surrender.

I'll change the sounds for sure but the icon is totally dota-like and that's my goal. I'll test the animation once again because I was sure that it is right -> i'll look into that.

---------------->

Version 1.2 is released and changes the attack sound. The head remains as it is because i don't like unfinished things.
@Animation problem: I can't see any wrong things about it. It hits when the hammer is at the mob.

[TrueLolzor]

Dota-like < Ugly.
It even dont fits its shape, so not whole image is displayed in this window.

[tifo_da]

The texture is very beautiful! It is a pity that there is no second-quality head, it would be wonderful, I am very pleased that work. I'll wait finalized stage ...
By the way the old icon in poor quality and many are sick, give the new beautiful!

[Sephinator]

Really nice .D

Mediafire is partially down.

made a video preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOh8YKvMgM) of your mod. It's still processing, don't know what the video quality will end up like.

Hope you don't mind :)

Well that shows the mod pretty nice. I'll put the link into the main post if you don't mind. Thanks for your work.

Btw: The head is really hard to fix and i dont think that it can be done nicely. So i can't say if i'm able to make a real good texture. Most certainly not but i'll try it again.

[RobertLoggi1]

My new favorite mod. Thank you so much!

[Arckanum]

The addon currently does not work with the new version of the game. I had no time to fix it so far -> I'm now working on it.


Update: The addon should now work again. -> 1.3 is out

You need to zoom in more kinda hard to see but still nice :)

[Cesious]

I'd like to see a second version with that 2 head model and all your updates actually. While the head is mis-shaped, it really does take me back to DotA so much more and I love the look. lol

Most of his sounds have 2 voices too.

[Arckanum]

The mod again gives problems with the stringtable because of the changes to blacksmith. I had no time so far to fix it. I will do it soon.

@Sound Complain: I'm not able to make sounds so i used the one in wc3. If you can do better than tell me.

@The second head version: It really looks crappy and i do no longer try to fix it because it always looks stupid. The idea was nice but the screenshot looks better than it actually is.

@The bloodlust icon: Is it is really such a problem to have a border around it?
But i see that it is really a wish of you, so i'll change it to the one without border in the next version.

----------------->

Edit: Version 1.4 is out! The download link is in the main post.

[Cesious]

I'll trust you on the worse in real time rather than the smaller screenshot on the second head. Too bad it couldn't work out, would be great. Look forward to the tooltip and bloodlust change myself.

[ReDsKiN]

i downloaded and got an error, just from improperly indented string
Works quite well, very nice and glad to see people still care for the original in wc3 :p

[Rackot]

Thank you ^_^

[ShammySham]

Yay! :D

[`Anbu]

bring pudge back now! :)

[Arckanum]

Quick fix is out after quite some time. Now the addon is only provided as a resource.s2z to make it easier for me.

[Yuichi]

You should fix the normal map. Its weird :o
Anyways I got bored and the result was this.
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2559/ogremagi.png
It has some texture issues around the necks because I had to change the model a little.
Good news is that those can be fixed relatively easy by editing the texture.
And here is the download link.
resourcesOgre.s2z (http://www.mediafire.com/file/md3rrf30pjc1l5u/resourcesOgre.s2z)
Only changed the model and normal map.
For now the heads use the same texture but I could easily change them to use different textures if someone wants it.

[Demigod`]

I want it for HoN 2.0 pls BlackRyu

Thats just great. Really thank you a lot. The only problem is that i have no idea of making textures and stuffs. You can post an updated version of the mod with two heads if you like :). I will then move it in the main post.

[LeTroll]

can anyone update this? it so awesome to die D:
