[QUOTE=Mr, Jukebox;42939681]bumping thread and posting more bugs with BlueFlyTrap's HD texture mod. It seems that now Luna's mount has a missing texture (purple and black checkers). I know it has to do with the mod because when I remove the files related to her mount, it works normally.[/QUOTE]

I have no idea what causes that. It happened every now and then for random heroes. Then it sort of stopped.

If you don't want me to just hand you the files yourself you can always try adding luna's mount to the override files. Replacing the model sometimes works.

[QUOTE=Mr, Jukebox;42939681]Also, Beastmaster's boar is now the shiny white and purple and blue color of his normal map for some reason instead of being its regular brown and tan color. His bird is fine though.[/QUOTE]

My bad. [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/aa3y3ywejaqmybg/My_bad.zip"]Uploaded a fix here.[/URL]

[QUOTE=Mr, Jukebox;42939681]And oddly enough, both of those issues have this show up when I open their vtfs.

I'll try re-downloading

I hope you're updating this mod cause it's really neat. Love mods that improve the looks of my games.[/QUOTE]

I suggest updating vtfscape to see if that fixes the error you're having.

Also when I update is entirely dependent on what valve releases on the workshop since save for a couple earthspirit specularmaps I got nothing left.

Suddenly model updates.

Well there goes a good chunk of my mod. You had a good run.

[Cheezking]

Can we get a mod to change back the new model changes this patch?

[QUOTE=Cheezking;42944272]Can we get a mod to change back the new model changes this patch?[/QUOTE]

Your request is my command.

I'll get right to it.

Actually it's finished already but I don't have time to upload it.
Also gyro's gloves are broken.

[BlueFlytrap]

[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/4stdctybfb8hb1b/oldheroesyay.zip"]Mod uploaded.[/URL]

Much like the hd mod (which this is pretty much built from) you will need -override_vpk in the dota2 launch options for it to work.
Drop the files into \Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota

Gryo's hands are still broken and I'm too lazy to fix them. Recompile them as part of his plane or something because he sure as hell isn't getting any cosmetics any time soon.

Shit I think Axe still has a problem

Damn it that didn't work either.

Alright [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/pqz67tv976v6b7s/okletstrythisagain.zip"]THIS[/URL] should work no matter what I do.

Guys this is a mod for the old ss.Its problems are that the model is too big, he doesnt smile like he used to and some plus symbols appear when he uses ulti, picks up illusion rune and some others that I can't remember.If someone could fix this up that would be great!

He must not smile anymore because he's depressed at how he put that weight back on.

I know what needs to be changed in order to get his smile back, I just don't think it's possible atm. The idle face pose was updated for the new model, so the old model will be using the new models face posing. Currently valve packs all face poses in scenes/scenes.image rather than having the individual scenes/hero_name/hero_name_pose_01.vcd. If someone could get a hold of the scenes.image from when the old model was in place you [I]may[/I] be able to extract the old scene file and pack it into the new one. Seems like a pain in the ass though, plus it would get overwritten each time the game updates.

So its basically never going to happen?

[BlackAwps]

[QUOTE=IceKiller159;42960749]So its basically never going to happen?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, the smile animation fix doesn't seem worth the hassle. The explosion of X's are caused by missing particle effects and should be easy to fix with using the old particles.

[TYLICA]

Hey guys does somebody also have the old models for sniper and rikimaru?

[Wariopunk]

Does anyone have a full working, original Storm Spirit? The closest thing I've got is this: [url]http://dota2.gamebanana.com/skins/130192[/url]

However it's pretty buggy.

[Mr, Jukebox]

Umm, the link in the OP appears to be dead suddenly, and I need to re download the classic lion mod. The gamebanana one is outdated. Anybody have a backup of the mod? Or anybody know the guy hosting the link in the OP?

[editline]29th November 2013[/editline]

nvm, i was able to get back the mod, but the link in the OP is still dead.

[ysrael214]

Anyone has the old Venomancer?

Guys I downloaded this old version of dota 2 called dota 2 v518 and it has the old models and their animations when they were in use can someone tell me how to extract these files so I can use them in the current dota 2?

Which models are you referring to?

[IceKiller159]

[QUOTE=BlueFlytrap;43037645]Which models are you referring to?[/QUOTE]
it has old ss the old sniper etc

[TYLICA]

Does it also have an old riki? Just Download VFTEdit and GFscape en you should be able to open them.

[BlueFlytrap]

[QUOTE=IceKiller159;43037761]it has old ss the old sniper etc[/QUOTE]

All you need to do is place them in the same filepath outside of their vpk
So for example the models and material folders would be found in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\
or
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\

You would want to extract specific models and folders (in the same path as in the vpk) into said folders. You're not done yet though.

Right click dota2 in your steam game library and select properties. Once there select launch options and add this:

-override_vpk

Done. Now anything placed in the dota2 root folder overrides the vpc and the models will appear.
Course this comes with it's own batch of problems since out of date models will have bugs. Going to have to accept that.

Also I have an update for the stupid hd mod. It's gotten pretty large though.
What I'll think I'll do is 404 the old downloads and put up 3-4 new ones. 2-3 for the entire pack again; and one for those already with the mod.

Let's get another list of changes going.

Total mod size

-Model update related changes

the following have been updated due to recent changes

-Updates to existing hd textures

sven's helm now uses a cleaner specular
queen of pain has had her body's masks updated to remove artifacts
rubick's body now looks a little better
lina's specular maps have been cleaned up. on top of that her fiery soul skin has been updated so it doesn't return to a low res version.
invoker has had a few specular repairs done
batrider's mount no longer uses the wrong specular
chen has had slight adjustments to remove a couple visual artifacts
lion now uses the higher res head textures (slight raise in quality)
tidehunter has been properly aliased; main body no longer looks jagged.

lion

Yea agreed i also would like the old riki model

I've made an improved version of the sandstorm mod for Sand King. It has been done a couple of times, but I made this because I had just downloaded those and didn't like how badly they looped. Thought some people here may have felt the same way.

I know that this is a super late reply, but I have a hold of very old scenes.images from when the old storm spirit model was in place, as well as his old particles. I don't feel like extracting the rest of the storm spirit stuff to test, so I'll leave this here for one of you guys who care about the old storm spirit mod and would be willing to see if these old files restore him fully with that mod you were talking about. Maybe send this to the creator of that mod while you're at it.

I took the time to get the old pudge model along with the other resources like hischaracter selection picture, in game picture that shows on the top, and old rot icon. I know BlueFlytrap did that, but his was just the model and texture without the other stuff :v:
download that here: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/wyjumct2ntboyud/dota2_old_pudge.rar[/url]

[editline]3rd December 2013[/editline]

I've also updated that old lion mod that SoJa did; their version didn't include his old minimap icon. Along with the addition of that icon, I've added the [url=http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Dota2_LionNew.jpg]2012-early 2013 version[/url] of lion as an option along with hSoJa's [url=http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Dota2_LionOld.jpg]2011-2012[/url] lion.

and since his model is the same for every version, both versions are fully compatible with any future cosmetics for Lion
