I haven't played Electrician much, and I thought I should try out his new rework.
But when I started up a game and picked him, I immediately noticed how bland he looks (he has NO EFFECTS without his skills active!)
Since he is supposed to be full of boundless amounts of electric energy, I thought he could really use some improved skill and idle effects. Thus, I present:

My thoughts exactly. I don't play much electrician but a friend of mine does.. for someone electric it seemed too bland to me on specials and idles. Now that I tryed this on practice to check it out I can finally say: "IT'S ELECTRIC!!!" :P Really a good incentive to play elec xD :P
Damn, I can't believe I missed this MOD. It's epic. :-D
Anyways - you forgot to edit the version in your .honmod file, so I fixed it for myself. Also, I think the Electric Shield effect is a bit overdone - sure, it should be noticeable but when you have both the shield and cleansing shock on you the effects kinda overlap (aren't they the same?) and look silly instead of epic. I'd rather if the shield effect had much thinner lines like the ones you made for his backpack. :-D

Excellent idea. I'll check it out in game later, but looks superb. Another awesome mod from BlacRyu![]()
Hmmm... I'm not sure how possible this is, but, is there any way you could add an effect to his grapple.
I was thinking it should look like a smaller, less intense version of his current grapple animation, but it should stem from your grapple target to anyone who is being hit by its AoE damage. I got the idea for it just now when i saw that you added an animation for who is being damaged by his shield. It would just be neat and also help you figure out who your damaging easier
My idea was for something that no longer happens...

Unless S2 hasn't changed the description on their hero page, it does. I haven't played Elec in a while so that may be the case...Activation
Applies Static Grip to target for 2.5 / 3.25 / 4.0 / 4.75 seconds or until spell is cancelled. Deals 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 Magic damage per second to enemy units in radius while Static Grip is active on target.
EDIT: I was wrong, as is the hero page, making my suggestion null...
Sorry for being behind the times![]()

It doesn't. S2 isn't really updating their hero pages, it's not a priority. The game is a bigger priority than having information up to date on a website. Right now, the ability just does damage to the one unit it gets casted on.
im a little interested in making skins like you guys, may i ask what programs you guys are using as well as how to import which files I need.
Effects are all done with notepad/notepad++. Textures usually with Photoshop, Gimp, or Paint.NET.
There are guides in the Resources subforum to get you started.
Best mod ever.
Electrician is my favorite hero, this just made him twice as nice!
S2 needs to default this.
Although, it doesn't seem to work with the current patch?
Edit: I'm on mac using mono. Keeps saying that the version is too old.
s2z file doesn't work either.
