We won't. In fact, we don't mind if you do. To go further on this, you don't even need to grind out the avatar, because it will already be on your computer when you download the patch. Like all mods though, it will be local. The fun part about alternate avatars is that other people can see them too.

What is this?
This is a program that will allow you to choose what model each hero should have. This will force the model to your client, so no matter what model is selected, you will see the chosen model.
The program will then create a HeroModels.honmod file that you can add to your HoN ModMan.

Preview of the program:

Download links:

All Alternative Hero Models Picker (Program to choose what S2-models you want) (Requires Ionic.Zip.dll in the same folder)
Ionic.Zip.dll (Required to manage zip archives.)
convert.exe (Required to manage custom models.)

Source

To the top.

How do I use this program?
Make sure both "HeroModels.exe" and "Ionic.Zip.dll" is in the same folder, and open the HeroModels.exe. Now you can select what heroes you want to force a model on. If the bordercolor is blue, you will force the standard/1.0 model. If the bordercolor is orange, you will force the alternative model. If the bordercolor is grey, HoN will decide what model will be viewed. When you are done, you click "Generate HeroModels.honmod", and the program will create a "HeroModels.honmod". Now all you have to do is add it as a normal mod, using the HoN ModMan or ModManager (Java). In the Mod Manager, the mod is called "Alt Hero Models Picker". Alternativeley you can set your Mods folder in the Options, to automatically save the "HeroModels.honmod" file and start the Mod Manager afterwards.

- Both files in same folder.
- Open "HeroModels.exe" and select models.
- Click generate, and copy the "HeroModels.honmod" to your mod folder and procede as usual. ("Alt Hero Models Picker")

To the top.

Green border? Orange border? Blue Border? Grey border? say wut?
I have simply "made up" four categories "Green border", "Orange border", "Blue border" and "Grey border".

Green border: This is when you force a client-side custom model from your HoN\game\ folder. This will force a custom model to be shown only for you no matter what model is selected ingame.

Orange border: This is when you force a client-side model, and this is what the mod will do. This will force a specific model to be shown for you (and you only), no matter what model is selected.
Blue border: This is when you force all client-side models to have the standard skin, no matter what model is selected.
Grey border: This is the way HoN normally handles models. The chosen model will show.

Still confused? Example time!
Player 1 got my mod, and forces all the standard models (blue border).
Player 2 got my mod, and forces all the alternative models (orange border).
Player 3 got no mods (grey border)

Player 1 choses Witch Slayer (Standard), Player 2 choses Female Pyromancer and Player 3 choses Scorpion Magmus. What will be displayed?

Player 1: Standard Witch Slayer, Male Pyromancer, Standard Magmus.
Player 2: Pimp Slayer, Female Pyromancer, Scorpion Magmus.
Player 3: Standard Witch Slayer, Female Pyromancer, Scorpion Magmus.

I can explain more if you need.

To the top.

What happens when more models come out?
When new models come out I will make the appropriate changes to the program.

How to Update:
- When you click the "Check for Updates" button, the footer will tell you if there is a newer version ready.
- When you open the program and go to the "Options", you can activate "Automatic Version Check". This will be the same as clicking the "Check for Updates" every time you open the program.

If there is a new version out, you can click on "Get New Version" and download it with the integrated updater. You can also download the new Version manually in this Thread.

To the top.

Known bugs:
- Not tested: If you use a screen resolution of less than ~ 860x650, then it might be hard to use the program.
- You probably need .NET Framework 4.
- Seems to only work for Windows. If anyone knows how to convert a vB.NET program to Linux/Mac, please take the time to show me.
- Alt Rampage Charge animation bug. His horse doesent bend his head down (dont think i can fix that :/ )
- Problems with some Hero animations when any player uses a bought alt model

Good job Sato! I'm so glad somebody decided to pick this up. You're something close to a hero :]

**XplittR** · 04-08-2011, 12:56 PM

I like what you did to the UI.

Did you look at the code from the "Test with pictures" folder, or did you make your own code?

**RaPoZaUm** · 04-08-2011, 01:12 PM

Thank you sato and XplittR!

Well done, kudos!

Just two things:
1) Could you add a paragraph (=enter) after <find> <replace>, <find> <delete />, <find> <insert> in the code?
2) You can use the code of a post using the "quote" button, pressing A/A in the top right corner and deleting the [quote][/quote]

Hi, not that easy to place returns after each line. Would get really messy in my Code :/
You can use the XML Beautyfier though, that way it will get easy to read.

Hmm good to know

greets

**[TGCH]Kinatas** · 04-08-2011, 06:43 PM

For the glory add this

If you only want "All Alternative Models" or "No Alternative Models", then you can download the complete versions here:

All Alternative Hero Models (Makes every hero use their alternative model. Client-side only) (.s2z version)
No Alternative Hero Models (Makes every hero use their standard model. Client-side only) (.s2z version)
No Alternative Announcers (Makes every announcer become the standard announcer. Client-side only)

**[S2]Dawnbringer** · 04-08-2011, 06:57 PM

First of all, great job. Just a quick thing, the icons get glitched up on my comp, running windows 7 64 bit at 1920 x 1200 resolution. They seem to be displaying glitched up images, no big deal but its a little confusing

**saTo** · 04-08-2011, 07:06 PM

@Kinatas: Okay, i added all/no alt hero files to the top.
Please remove the links from your files, because they are totaly outdated thx.

@[CGM]Dawnbringer: Hmm, i got the same specs and it looks good for me. Could you post a screenshot?

**[S2]Dawnbringer** · 04-08-2011, 09:38 PM

Do you have something I can email it to? It never lets me upload it for some reason

**[NCRO]Jormungandr** · 04-09-2011, 12:05 AM

I'm surprised they haven't made a scout skin yet, since so many people use him...

Use something like Imageshack.us and post the link you get afterwards.

Thanks soo much. I missed the Valk avatar and at least I can use it now.

**[NCRO]Durandal_** · 04-09-2011, 08:31 PM

This is great, any bugs or issues I used to have with your version of this program are gone, works well and looks good.

Great job, have an internet man
