WHAT IS ENHANCED HON?

Enhanced HoN is a collection of ported and original heroes packed into a resources file and playable in practice mode. In this way, you'll be able to see how some heroes work in the game, even though you'll be playing them alone. However, this might not always be the case. Come the time when player-hosted servers come out, I plan to put this mod into the game and allow a large amount of new heroes to be played instantly. Aside from that, S2 has the option to take the heroes code and do whatever to put it out as an actual hero with less work on their part.

HOW GOOD IS IT?

Current Status Bar:

Right now, it's pretty good. The mod lacks models, sounds, and animations that are original. However, it's jam packed full of well-coded heroes. There are full ports, new heroes, and even tooltips! The overall structure of the mod is really nice. It's pretty good now, and is ready for criticism of higher degrees!

Nice work tchackie. I'll be making Leoric, Skeleton King. You can leave him to me due to the simplicity.

Besides that, I'll update the posts for 1.05 tonight. I'm in school right now and a 30kb/s internet just wont cut it to upload a 10MB file to mediafire (That'd take 333 minutes, if you do the math. AKA 5 hours 33 minutes.). Appreciate the work you're doing, and I'm trying to get Dub to join our cause and finish this mod ASAP.

Anyone who has played the game Spore knows that you can get some really artistically awesome models in it, which may be fit to work for HoN. If you've got the game and are interested in trying out to make models, you should check out the post on HoNLabs to import Spore models. I'd appreciate it a lot. You can find the post here:

Huge update to 1.06. Includes a new picture in the first post which I think is pretty good to represent how far we've come.

Check it out.

[[BLG]F8]

After almost 5 hours straight of tedious work on the mod, I present to you version 1.07, with the largest changelog so far.

Odd that it's the only one that doesn't have a new hero...

[tchackie]

- Sniper's Shrapnel

Yeah you should maybe take an Animation thats stops when the ability ends, and not one that loops forever

- Mortred's Blur no longer screws up the model.

That was indented, to imitate the DotA's Blur effect where you get more transparent with each level of the skill

- Puck's Dream Coil now correctly has 600 radius.

I think thats a mistake on playdota.com, i checked that in wc3 and it seems dreamcoil has a 300 radius

[[RDC]Zekkei]

wow its amazing how much time u put into this GJ sir.

[Paranoiac]

ursa's slightly bugged skill is probably coded as a debuff right now causing it to be bugged. i believe nomad dident give them a debuff but instead it looked liked it acted like a crit or a proc because whenever he hit blue damage would show up above him. if hes still in their somewhere you can base the skill of that.

[EnolaGay]

Great work OP! You deserve some sort of reward for all your hard work!
