You need to work with the effect files. It should be called body.effect or something similar. Those files are in the resources0.s2z.
Ok cool, but how do I edit *.effect files?
They wont open in PS CS4.
"Could not complete your request becouse it is not the right kind of document".
I have downloaded the plug-in.
.effect files are text files.
Oh.
Well, thanks. The glow is now blue, and i tried to change his "Lava Surge" from being red lava into "blue lava". Ive succeded in some ways, but there are still three types of files that i cant get my head around.
It seems that i have to change something in the *.mdf, *.model and *.clip files?
I dont even know what theese files do, but they are the only files left that ive not experimented with.
If you could explain these file types to me, or just tell me if im trying to modify the wrong files it would be very much appreciated.
Nice guide!
Though I have to ask someone here for a tiny bit of help:
I want to change the Hellbourne Creep skin with the skeleton one - is it possible at all?
Because I've read this guide 6 or 7 times very carefully and tried around a lot but there is absolutly nothing changed when I start HoN for checkin.
Any advice what I am doing wrong?
I used the files from textures.s2z\00000005\npcs\bad_melee [which should be the creep textures]
and the resources0.s2z\npcs\bad_melee\material.material.
Tried file replacing with and without saving vertically changed as .tga (yes, I took care of the alpha channel, too).
I am not really skilled yet but I am willing to learn if somebody can give me a hint.
And maybe I am not the only one who would enjoy different Hellbourne Creeps
Skins/textures and models are not the same. You need to bring over the model too, or the texture will look messed up.
.clip files are animation files, which are the instructions given to the model to give it movement. These are un-editable right now.Originally Posted by Jozone
.mdf files are the ones that control which animations the model uses, and when. The only time you would edit these is if you were to swap out a hero's animations for another hero's.
.model files are the files that store the model information itself. This is also un-editable.
You'll probably need to edit a bunch of other .effect files, not just the body.effect one. Make sure to check in all the ability folders.
Guys playing in HON how can camera rotate, down, up and view 3D etc. I now zooming (mouse mid button)
Nice! Thanks for all the help man!
But, some problem still remains. I left out some things in my previous post. I have not only edited the bidy.effect file. When i did that it gave me the result i was looking for (making his glow blue).
The spell on the other hand has given me some problems. I have succeded in turning some of the "gunk" ,that erupts from the ground when Lava Surge is used, blue.
Two problems still remain tough.
1. I edited the lavatrail.effect and the lavatrail2.effect files to try and make the lava blue instead of orange and red. Instead of giving me the wanted result the lava trail has more or less disappeared. There is now just some black details.
2. The steam/smoke that rises above the lava trail. I just want it to go away, fully. I ahve not succeded with this either.
Trust me when I say that ive experimented alot and made changes in all the *.effect files in the "Ability 1" directory.
More help would, as always, be appreciated.
Note that it only works in practice games.
@Jozone, You could just remove all the smoke code instead of changing it. That works just fine too if you want to get rid of it all.

I don't actually get it. SOrry -_-
it doesn't work for me. i edit the color.dds file and when im done, i flip it vertically and flipped the Alpha Channel too.
And I have 7zip.
I don't really understand the placement section.
Do i create a Compressed Zip Folder, place the Zephyr folder from Resources0 together with my .tga file and then i rename it???
Or do i need WinRar for this?
If possible, please put down the path files of the folders/files im putting into the resourcesXXXX.s2z file. Thank you <3
Make a heroes folder, make another folder inside of it with the name of the hero (same name as in resources0). Drop the .tga inside of the folder with the hero name. Rename the .tga to anything other than color, color2 works even. Then you need to get the material.material file from resources0, open it with notepad, change all the "color.tga" instances to "color2.tga" (or whatever you called it), then place material.material in the same place as your tga. Once you're done all that, rightclick on the heroes folder itself (first folder you made) and Send To -> Compressed (zipped) file, then rename the .zip it makes to resourcesXXXX.s2z
Paths:
heroes/<heroname>/<tganame>.tga
heroes/<heroname>/material.material
Basically, you need to keep the same file structure as in resources0.s2z.
thank you sir
THANKS ALOT! <3
I gotta try this sometime! xD

Did you try it? Did it work?
Try it yourself first before asking us if you did anything wrong. If you did try it, tell us that you tried it, and tell us what wasn't working.
