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

Change the topic, there's work to do and things to investigate. Like arcana for default, wobbly pudge and Skeleton King particles.

[QUOTE=Smashman;45574951]I know that you dislike me. I do neither desire nor value your opinion.[/QUOTE] It's a waste of time tho. Modding in Dota 2 is pretty much too big of a hassle.

[QUOTE=Skunky;45579776]It's a waste of time tho. Modding in Dota 2 is pretty much too big of a hassle.[/QUOTE] Which is exactly why I'm working on this website. To remove all hassle.

[QUOTE=Smashman;45580219]Which is exactly why I'm working on this website. To remove all hassle.[/QUOTE] Oh, so it's going to remove all the broken things when you try to mod your game, such as missing sounds, no lip movement on the heroes, broken animations, not working particles and much more? :v: The only things that really work are small texture updates, item icons, skill icons, portraits (both webm and in-game). The rest is just a gamble. (atleast it was like this for me for a lot of mods I tried to get working.) The huge amount of tricks you have to do makes it almost not worth it sometimes (such as having to add in all sound files from the game, so the whole game isn't going to be silent just because you replaced a single sound file)

[QUOTE=Skunky;45580650]no lip movement on the heroes,[/QUOTE] I figured out why that happens. When the game merges all the models together dynamically the flexes on anything other than the base model break if something doesn't meet the whitelist. Same reason terrorblade's $35 arcana item broke. The whitelist being a huge ass list of specific parameters so incredibly strict the only way to meet it is to not mod the game at all; or to be extremely careful with what you change. It was introduced arbitrarily in a balancing patch under a year ago. You can't turn it off.

[QUOTE=Keychain;45586868]Am I the only one getting malware alerts when trying to enter this thread?[/QUOTE] It did for me yesterday. It seems fine now.

Hey guys, i've got problem with my old veno model! Could you please help me to fix it? [url]http://dota2.ru/forum/attachments/bezymjannyj-png.40551/[/url] And could you please make storm spirit old model smaller?

[QUOTE=Tebesski;45603399] And could you please make storm spirit old model smaller?[/QUOTE] It can't be done. You could make the model smaller, but it would break so many things not to mention that 9/10 it won't work anyways.

Are sound mods difficult to make?

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;45612657]Are sound mods difficult to make?[/QUOTE] Nope. Installing them is the big issue.

[QUOTE=Gunzers6;45613004]Nope. Installing them is the big issue.[/QUOTE] Can someone link me to some instructions? I have a few ideas

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;45614286]Can someone link me to some instructions? I have a few ideas[/QUOTE] Basically find the sound you want to use, make it a wav, replace it's name with the sound you want to replace (found in the pak01_dir.vpk, open it with GCFScape), and put it in the right directory (e.g: sound/music/stingers). Making it work it is a bitch that I never understood how to do. Also, the sound file has to be the same length as the original that you're replacing.

Hmm, with this new Dota patch coming at the end of August, perhaps modding will be made easier? I opened the Source 2 version of Dota 2 and it seemed like my custom particles and models worked, but not my sound mods.

Is this where the map mods are going to get posted or is a new thread going to get made?

I'd prefer if they had a new thread as regular mods would probably get drowned out by custom game mode stuff. [editline]r[/editline] So it seems that you need to remove override_vpl from launch options to play custom games. Kinda disappointing.

[QUOTE=Kotboris;45193504]Yeah I didn't found these icons in vpks and forgot to write here I will not delivere it =( [editline]24th June 2014[/editline] well the old storm mod broke again by orchid hat and thunderbraid. i've fixed it (orchid hat will not show to you anymore but its particles will). but there is something i can't fix: after interface update the game is crashing more oftenly if you using my old storm spirit mod. deal with it. [URL="http://dota2.gamebanana.com/skins/133345"]download old storm spirit update here[/URL] [IMG]http://puu.sh/9GYme/c45831f7ff.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Is it possible to unbount the hat of the storm spirit base model. i know it was broken and that you pasted all lose thing together but could you undo this for the hat of storm spirit?this allows storm spirit to use hat cosmetics. And still the Original works.

Hey guys! Necrolyte's old voce isnt working. Help please

[QUOTE=Kotboris;45647301]You can change 1 texture of Storm Spirit and his hat will dissapear so you can install Ring of the Storm on it (only ring of the storm, others will not work)[/QUOTE] Witch texture file is it and what do i need to replace it with?

[QUOTE=Tebesski;45647688]Hey guys! Necrolyte's old voce isnt working. Help please[/QUOTE] Try putting "snd_rebuildaudiocache" into console (without the quotes).

[QUOTE=Mr, Jukebox;45651292]Try putting "snd_rebuildaudiocache" into console (without the quotes).[/QUOTE] Did that command get fixed?

Does anyone know how to install skins? I'm having trouble with it. I'm putting the files to their respective place but it doesn't change anything in-game. I think it has something to do with the vpk. files?
