This is no SOTM effect, it's enhanced electrician effects by BlacRyu. ( Enhanced Electrician Effects by BlacRyu)
If I do that you can't use AOE Range Indicators by He anymore because both mods use a modified effects/body.effect. I sent He a PM, maybe he got an idea .

Anyway, have fun with this .
Top Hat SOTM Effect by theli


Edit: Added Helga Hammerstorm + Adventure Gladiator (including the new chariot).

hmmm?!?!?! where link to usual alt avatars i love devour clown

new avatars for glady best

Due to popular demand dev is "Zerg Hybrid Devourer" (by BlacRyu) now.
But you can easily change it back using Notepad++ and WinRAR.

The lines are still there, just put the Hybrid in <--! --> and remove <--! --> for the Clown Devourer.

It's client-sided, you can only have one forced model at a time.

Btw. I added every hero, just remove the <--! --> after a patch.
And I "tweaked" Capatin Flint (with <editfile>), the bug is confirmed. Should be fixed within the next patch(es).

Is there a way to disable only Devourer Zerg Hybrid?

[[TNED]Saemar]

Thanks, this mod is great.

If you want to get rid of the new Devo, just open the code and delete the section regarding it in the .xml file. I'm a noob at this, but I'm pretty sure that's what you do. (Open with 7zip or Winrar)

[[xKKT]Awan`Afuqya]

I'll give you a quick guide what to do.

    application="Heroes of Newerth" 
    appversion="2.*" (Heroes of Newerth game version, currently 2.0.6.1)
    mmversion="1.3"

    updatecheckurl="http://bit.ly/eV98B8" (link to a simple text file, with 1.09 in it, if I update -> 1.10)
    updatedownloadurl="http://bit.ly/hR1a5O" (mod download url)

    <incompatibility name="No Alternative Models" version="*" /> (incompatibility with other mods)

<!-- --> (excludes line, if you have Notepad++ -> green color)

<editfile name="heroes\arachna\hero.entity"> (editfile with exact name)
<find>icon="icon.tga"</find>        <replace>icon="alt/icon.tga"</replace> (finds lines, from top to bottom and replaces it)
<findall>alt/</findall>            <delete /> (finds all line with name and deletes them)
<find>modelscale="1.0"</find>
<insert position="after">
infoheight="190"</insert> (find line, insert another line. Note that there is an "enter in between")
</editfile>

<copyfile name="heroes\forsaken_archer\ability_01\effects\aoe1.effect" overwrite="yes" /> (copies file from exact folder\file.name and overwrites the file with the same name)
-> it's possible to use <copyfile name="" source="" overwrite="yes"/>
--> it's not possible to overwrite one file from resources0.s2z with another file from resources0.s2z. The ModMan doesn't support this ;(

<find><![CDATA[<SOMETHING/>]]></find> (If you search for a line with <***/>, you'll need CDATA)

In your case use <!-- --> for Zerg Hybrid Devourer (by BlacRyu)
and remove the <!-- --> for Devourer (alt_avatar).

pimp slayer doesnt working like always(

[[xKKT]Awan`Afuqya]

Thanks for the hint, I forgot to purge the trail -> should work now.
Next time, try to be a bit more specific .

+ Fixed Glad's Chariot (Horses + Ball = overkill)

[[HMMR]Cakeman]

Absolutely excellent work, thanks! Very easily customizable.

EDIT-Having the strangest problem now. The mod file won't actually show up in modman's list at all, even though it's a honmod file like everything else. Any thoughts?

[[M6]andyBAKA]

Yes, your code has a flaw e.g. a wrong comment <!-- --> -->

Ok guys, redownload "All Alternative Models", the Modmanger doesn't like big files .

[DONTFEED]

is it the modman / filesize or dropbox being awfully slow recently messing up the autoupdate?

can you rehost it somewhere else w/ better dl speeds?


thanks in advance

I'll quote Notausgang -> not a dropbox problem. (The file has ~27MiB)

Currently it refuses to download mod files larger than 25 MiB.
Is there actually a mod getting close to that now?

I could split the custom models and give them to you as .honmods.
This would interfere with my plan though: A massive mod using MOF and pull-down menus.
I'd like to have everything in one file because it'd be easier to code overwriting the default (or alt) models. Don't know if it's possible, I failed miserably so far .

[DONTFEED]

you could just split them into agi/int/str
IF there's no other possibility :[

a shitload of different mods for each n every single hero would make it hard to keep track of them etc

[[PRX]Demigod`]

Crustacean Kraken please!

[freestyler7]

Crustacean Kraken please!

...

Awan`Afuqya, how do you get the "correct" globalscale values etc? Or do you just edit them by trial & error?

[[ALO]FallenBlood]

i can't load All Alternative Models (All ALTs + the following custom models)

new upload pls

[[PRX]Demigod`]

Awan`Afuqya please make All Alternative Models without Custom Models. Thank you!
Also please add Crustacean Kraken.

I think you didn't understand me . The "custom models" are made by the talented users here, like BlacRyu and Yuichi. These files have to be included in the .honmod if you want to use them, thus increasing the file size.
S2's models a.k.a alternative avatars don't use any space and are already in the client. The .honmod just alters the folder path to the new alternative model, hardly increasing the file size (just a .txt).
Again, I plan on using the best custom models and packing them together while you guys use a pull-down menu to enable either dynamic, alternatice or the available custom models. Still, I don't know if it's possible.

For now, I deleted CloudWatcher and Enhanced Electrician Effects to decrease the file size under 25MiB -> the auto-update should work again.

...

Awan`Afuqya, how do you get the "correct" globalscale values etc? Or do you just edit them by trial & error?

Just open the hero.entity (or pollywog.entity) in resources0.s2z/heroes/<heroname> and look for altavatar="true". You'll find the information you need in this file.

Well, I checked the droxbox forum and they got some problems. Either you click a few times on the link or wait until they fixed it.

Awan`Afuqya please make All Alternative Models without Custom Models. Thank you!

I already did that but dropbox + the file size stopped the auto-update.
Besides that, don't you like the custom models ?
Let's see if Notausgang increases the auto-update file size.

[[PRX]Demigod`]

What about Crustacean Kraken?
And I like them. But asking for the only normal All Alt Avatars.
