Creating Hero Textures

You probably didn't type the name properly in the material file. That, or you don't have the files in the proper locations.

re-checked the whole thing and i still mess up somewher, guess i just fail.

notepad++ is just a superpowered notepad. It's not required, but it's recommended for modding. You could try editing the material.material file with notepad instead, to see if it gives you better results.

I can't get the plug-in for GIMP. As found in many tutorials "the 'plug-ins'- folder" doesn't exist on my computer, could someone help me?

And I tried putting it in the Scripts folder (extracted and un-extracted). And when I try to open the DDS file, it says "Unknown file type"

So, i have a slight problem here

If it doesn't exist, then make a plugins folder.

So because you wrote a texture guide before, I obviously stole from you right?

I've done texture editing since way before HoN.

Umm... Use Paint.NET? It can open .dds files natively I think. Edit: Yeah I just doublechecked, it has it natively.

Hmm... that's a good question. I tried it out myself, and I don't know why it's not working.

One thing you should make sure you do next time though is that you remove the weird .ds_store files and _macosx folder from there. It just makes your .s2z bigger for no reason.

Sure I could, but....I want to use gimp, cause it's a program I know. So, any help?

[MaxGhost]

C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins maybe?

Paint.NET is just like regular paint, but more awesome. Just try it out atleast.

I found the problem! The built in mac-compressor compresses the folder all weird. I needed to use a different compressor to make it a zip and that got it working. You should probably include this on the front page because this really limits mac users.

EDIT: Another thing is why can't I create a thread? Any help is appreciated.

Make your thread in the modifications section, and request a number from the sticky in that forum. Your thread will be moved to the customizations section afterwards.

I downloaded plugins and got this ;-;
halp pl0x



It is indeed the color.dds

Edit: Apparently CS4 64-bit isnt supported by the plug-in.
CURSE YOU 64-BIT!!

I have this same problem but Everytime i try and open up the 32 bit version of photoshop it immediately says the program stopped working and wont even start it up...what the heck do i do

You can use Paint.NET instead for now until you resolve your problems with Photoshop. It's free.

I got photoshop and the plugin for dds working but im having trouble with the "Repacking" part. I'm not sure if i have the proper folder set up or where to put it once created

The way i have it now is

resources2000.s2z > heroes > sand_wraith > material.material and the sand.tga file in the last folder.
I have this whole archive in the programfiles>heroesofnewerth>game folder i made sure my material file was correct but i still get no results upon starting the game. any ideas?

EDIT: NVM i finally figured it out i just didnt make the zip file correctly. Now just to get semi decent results lol
