Dota 2 Mod Index (Custom Skins, HUDs, Models, Particles and Animations)

[BlueFlytrap]

Before we begin, let us take a moment to ask why the ever loving fuck there's a whitelist ten miles long on what needs to be done in order for the game to say "yeah, I guess I'll let you swap a single model now."
I want to slap whoever thought that was a good idea.

But now on to the ever growing mess that is the dumb hd mod.
Starting with the disclaimer.

[QUOTE=BlueFlytrap;42868330]Let me sum up everything you should know. IE the readme file.

-DO NOT USE THESE IF YOU CANNOT KEEP A STEADY FRAMERATE ON MAXIMUM SETTINGS:
THIS WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.

-TURN OF V-SYNC. TEXTURE OVERRIDE HATES V-SYNC.

-DO NOT USE THESE IN SFM; ESPECIALLY IF YOU FOLLOWED CYBORGMATT'S 'TUTORIAL.'

-I RECOMMEND OVER TWO GIGS OF RAM MINIMUM. BE PREPARED TO CRASH IF YOU'RE UNDER THAT.

-MIRANA STILL LOOKS LIKE A MAN

Installing isn't too difficult.
Find your dota2 files in

\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\

Merge the contents of the download with the material folder you'll find there.
Then put these in your dota2 launch options.

-override_vpk +r_lod 0

Alternatively you could not include r_lod if you want level of detail models still active.
Stuff's higher poly with it included. Just a bonus.[/QUOTE]

Naturally here's the previous versions of the mod and it's expansion.

[QUOTE=BlueFlytrap;43073400]Ok! So. New batch of HD shit. Doing things a little different this time.
There are now 8 different downloads depending on what you have or like. If you downloaded the last batch good news! You won't have to download the entire thing again!

-[B]New users[/B]

Hello there. I couldn't help but notice last time there was a disproportionate level of downloads. It appears some people assumed the second link was a download mirror.
It was not.

So I'm telling you now that you will need to download all three of these downloads in order to actually use more than one third of the mod.

[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/6rufurh6m6tn1x7/Dota2_Zombie_Princess_Championship.zip"]download 1/3[/URL]
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/s769h4uqp9rc7s6/Dota2_Morbidly_Obese_Afro_Chronicles.zip"]download 2/3[/URL]
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/3yqy7sppjf4uq7j/Dota2_Communist_Bingo_Strikes_Back.zip"]download 3/3[/URL]

But you're not done yet; there's two more downloads to complete it. You get to choose between differing versions of Silencer and Omniknight.

Silencer
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/b2d46b39u34pkvg/silencer_red.zip"]red[/URL]
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/1mtv3l87c3pmf1r/silencer.zip"]purple[/URL]

Omniknight

[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/m5f185w2w8651si/omniknight_red.zip"]red[/URL]

You will find instructions for installation in the quote near the bottom.

Welcome back. Quite a few bug fixes and heroes this time along with a few changes thanks to recent updates. Also I improved a few things just for you guys.
Unfortunately there were quite a few of you who only downloaded half of the original mod. May I redirect you to the new user section for your downloads. IE: All of it.

Should you have downloaded both of the original downloads (and silencer) then congrats! all you have to do now is download one much smaller package to complete your update. Contains all the fixes the last one didn't have by default too.

And because I care

Omniknight

Blue omniknight has a repaired normal for his main body. In retrospect I should have included it in the update. Anyway the update installs the same way the original mod did.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=BlueFlytrap;44014565]We're doing it again. The ever terrible Dota2 HD mod DLC Extravaganza.
If you missed the second alliteration of the mod please refer [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1243162&p=43073400&viewfull=1#post43073400"]to this post[/URL]. This is simply an update to it.

-This contains new files and updates for the following.

blood seeker
dazzle
earth spirit
elder titan
ember spirit
enigma
invoker
legion commander (including arcana)
outworld devourer (I actually screwed up and forgot to fix the pixelly fresnelterms and he looked bad because of it. This will fix that along with other minor edits)
pedestal (because why not)
phoenix
puck
storm_spirit
terrorblade (including arcana. Same res though)
vengeful
wraith_king (rip in peace mr spooky bones)

Only one download this time.

[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/d4eixcyc2r4xt27/Dota2_Update_Political_Karate_Challenge.zip"]download[/URL]

Something important to note when downloading this. DELETE ANY INVOKER MODELS INSTALLED. THIS UPDATE PRETTY MUCH REMOVES ANY NEED FOR THEM. ALLCAPS.
Seriously he will look very fucked up if you don't.

Also old phantom assassin head (in hd no less) Simply because you asked. Remember; faceposing will be broken due to -vpk_override. Nothing I can do about that.

Got all that? Great. Here's more.

-This contains new files and updates for the following.

clockwerk
juggernaut (sword reworked)
life stealer (just incase I missed him last time)
magnus
queen of pain (dagger remade)
terrorblade*
tiny (fix)
timbersaw (saws included)
treant
venomancer
wraithking (fix)

*Terrorblade's arcana is the most picky item in the game. Giving error after error over the smallest thing. In order to have it work at all every single material it uses must be almost exactly the same.
Scale.
Compression.
Flags
Alpha
Even vtf version.

So what does this mean to you? When terrorblade get's cosmetics you're going to have to do the same thing to every single one of his bitmaps and normals just to have the garbage work.
Fuck this item.

Here are the parameter by the way:

alphaformat dxt5
generate mipmaps true
mipmap filter kaiser
sharpen filter unsharpen mask
version 7.5
compute reflectivity true
generate thumbnail true
flag no minimap
flag no level of detail

It doesn't check for terrorblade's default body. That one is still much better in appearance. Every other item however reeks of dxt5 compression. It's awful.

Did you delete everything in his material folder prior? That might have done it.
The update added a different chest model (using the old base materials. Masks 1 and 2 are included so it actually looks better than before) so he's compatible with cosmetics. An alternate basetexture and normal for wraith king himself were also thrown together.

If his chest model isn't loading at all there's not much I can do about it. Try breaking his face again to see if it shows up.

Has BlueFlytrap ever made HD Skeleton King? I don't remember if his old hd mod had Skeleton King.

[QUOTE=Arktomys;44800761]Has BlueFlytrap ever made HD Skeleton King? I don't remember if his old hd mod had Skeleton King.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it did.
But it doesn't work anymore. Turns him into a lovely shade of purple and black.

Yeah.
I tried it before posting that.

[BlueFlytrap]

My materials won't work with the skeleton king mods by default since it doesn't include any material files to actually direct the engine to look for them in the first place.
What you can do is install whatever skeleton king mod but then have the edits I tossed into the older version of the dumb hd mod overwrite the files the restoration mod includes.

Also for future reference; Please don't make another skeleton king mod using what I just explained. His workshop resources are still up. Grab them yourself.

So they finally fixed the download huh? Took them long enough. His resources were still up after 5 months.
Still not as bad as veno. Old resources were up for a year after their 'takedown'.

In that case you're all out of luck. This greatly hinders my plan of his sfm upload in the coming days.

Aren't you needy.
I can't fix that. Storm's remnant's perform a check for the model's material whitelist in order to compile an unique model ingame. All materials must abide by the same rules I listed in the hd mod for terrorblade.

Storm has community cosmetics; so it isn't possible for it to work at all anymore.
Now here's the kicker; it happens even with the proper materials when it comes to storm spirit.

Why?

Welcome to -override_vpk. Enjoy your stay (and lack of faceposing on models with externally loaded heads).

[Kotboris]

can you fix dis?

[Mr, Jukebox]

Found out the issue with Wraith King's armor. Turns out that I needed to update my npc_heroes.txt because the strings weren't updated with the new chest piece. Had it to enable oracle and underlord.

[editline]14th May 2014[/editline]

My enchantress works perfectly fine. You should check your scripts folder, or try uninstalling the classic enchantress mod if you're using it.
