Ability Range Indicators (v1.70, 2010-09-12)

Ability Range Indicators



Hello folks.

I've updated the .honmod version of the ability range indicators mod to both be compatible with the latest patch, as well as take into account the ability ranges that were changed as well. Not very thoroughly tested, though I am currently using it, but it should work on all counts.

I've also included version checking and auto-updating, as I like this mod a lot, and will update it until it either critically breaks or is supplanted by something better.

As with the release I sourced it from, it does not work correctly in practice mode. I suggest you disable it via the mod manager if you want to do extensive practice mode testing of any other mod/hero/whatever.

NOTE:

This thread is NOT the place to discuss whether or not this mod should exist, whether you think it's unfair, whether to think it makes baby Jesus cry, or anything else. The last thread turned into a retarded flame war about this mod, and this thread is NOT for the continuation of such discussion.

Thank you.

Item Ranges:

DreadTalon has a version of this mod that works for item ranges instead.

Any between this and the one posted in the general Modifications forum?

Probably not much. I threw it up on my webhost and added an autoupdate URL. Will crosslink to his thread though, thank you sir.

Please deal something out with him, I'll delete one of the two threads once you made up your mind which will exist and which wont.

[DreadTalon]

I have removed the skill range indicators from my mod so it does item ranges only and referred to this thread for skills.

[GrandeMorcao]

Hi, this mod disabled my skills on practice. Is this normal? Can i try it in real action?

Doesn't work in practice mode, only in real games. I bolded the section in the post to explain a little better.

[Fyren]

Any way to make a console command or UI button to toggle functionality so that practice mode is usable without restarting the client to change mods?

[[BUL]RG_PankO]

This mod causes me problems. It give me and error "empty paths" or something and the game crashes, I cant reconnect. In the order of exceptions I know this is the mod because from the time I removed this one I don't have problems.
Any one else with same issue?

[[7AM]mirger]

Same thing as with Item Range Indicator, I can't use the abilities even if the circles show up.

EDIT: Nvm, practice mode.

[temptemp]

.... awesome flood of cheat-mods atm ... S2 has a lot to do i guess!

Can you show a screenshot or console log of the issue? Also, can you try using only this mod and seeing if you can bring up the range circles in practice mode? The skills themselves won't cast, but you'll at least get the range indicators. Also, what other mods do you use?

[[SGP]LonJAXsoN]

I'm getting the "#### unread bits" error. Not sure what's causing it..
Every time I tried to reconnect.. it'd give me the error again...

[[BOT]Naib]

Author, please view this thread: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...ad.php?t=92850

Something about this mod is causing major problems

[[BUL]RG_PankO]

I knew it... please fix the mod really usefull.

[[CI]RulerOf]

I get unread bits errors too, but logging out and logging back in fixes them.

Nonetheless, I'll do my best to investigate the issue, so we can see what's going on.

[[BUL]RG_PankO]

Some times it get fixed by reloging, yes, but sometimes it doesnt. This isnt a solution.

Same here!!!!!

[Bhaz]

Same, happened about 20 minutes in, then I couldn't reconnect until I disabled the mod.

[Supersolid]

yes, this mod gives a xxxx unread bits error and disconnects from game.
