Dentothor: As Debode said, its quite grainy and very pixelated, but its otherwise very cool.

 

[zadelim]

EDIT: The model's texture path is just "ZL_DotA_ShadowFiend.blp"
If anyone interested to make the model. Feel free to do it.

EDIT2: Added LQ Version

 

[Soul Theft]

looks good but please make his eyes/face more angry

 

[Piwlady]

First I was like shouting "RECOLOR OMGLOL!"
But then I realized it isn't and it looks damn good.

 

[mnib]

when i looked at that i thought of this picture oO

btw really awesome

 

[crimson fire]

looks really cool

 

[AIagremm]

Wow, excellent idea! Quite original!

But the DotA Series name... bleh. I hate DotA.

 

[zadelim]

Lol.
I saw DotA that Shadow Fiend not fit.
So I make one of this.

 

[AIagremm]

Well I hope they will use this skin ^^

 

[zadelim]

I hope so. But first I make a change of eyes first.

 

[Sheephunter]

One of the best skins for firelord!

 

[AIagremm]

Yes, perhaps they need to be changed.

But still, gotta love the idea! ^^
He is perfect for a hero for the Scourge, a powerful shade.

Also, you got a typo in your screen. DotA is Defence of the Ancients.

 

[Misha]

it doesn't look good.. personally, it could use more of the green surface.. more highlights as well.. and i'm not sure how well it fits on the firelord.. maybe you should work along what the model has.. :/

 

[zadelim]

Im just fit the icon and in game feeling. Because it was whole black Firelord in game when in DotA.

In-game looks

I was following this one make as well.

 

[Deolrin]

It looks good, but somewhat grainy\pixelated. Also, I think it would be awesome if you put more armor over him(on his hands for example) like the chest has, and make the armor more bright and shiny. Right now it's way too dark, it will appear as a green blob in-game.

Did you make a suggestion to use that skin in the DotA forums, by the way?

 

[Night_Crusher]

Very Coll but how can i make the fire green.???
The hero self is green but the fire ... pls help

Download the attachment at my first post.

 

[Oziris]

They should consider adding this in dota for Nevermore. I would play him even more.
Contact icefrog and ask them if they would like to replace the skin of Nevermore to this one ^^.

 

[L_Lawliet]

IMO. it's a good one.but icon is lame . -.- yea really. dont ss that model and make it as an icon.it looks odd

Lol -.- just use back that in game one then.

 

[-Grendel]

excellent idea zadelim, i hope this one gets used in dota, really the black firelord sucks when he gets hit by frost arrows in dota.

 

[zadelim]

haha. turn into firelord when iced. XD
I will contact them when the skin is finish enough improvement.

 

[.mitsuki]

Does Ice frog use other models for their hero "Nevermore''?
I thought they just edit the color of fire lord.

 

[I3lackDeath]

He doesn't use a custom model, however he added a layer of black over the original skin (like he did with Slardar and Lion).

Whenever I changed the model, the skin still turned black.

 

[zadelim]

nope. i can see that is the color edit in world editor. You can see him in Firelord when in iced.

 

[Kingz]

Icefrog just changed the collor of slardar/lion/nevermore he didn't use any skins for that afaik.

You can do that also in the WE by changing the opacity of RGB for a unit.

That's what I meant. In Magos, you can add a colour layer, too.
If he did it in WE, there's no way WE can change that without changing the map itself. XD

 

[-Grendel]

no matter how many times i look at this nevermore skin, it still looks cool^^
hope to see more changes here

 

[.mitsuki]

I see now... you change the firelord into black but the fire under it remains...

too COOL huh.

One thing here, suggest it at their website... =)
Goodluck!

 

[Deolrin]

Bah, now it doesn't really works with the icon at all.
It still looks like a red\black blob in game. Please add a LOT more highlights\definition\contrast to the red parts.

 

[Kingz]

Green version was better.

 

[Deolrin]

Indeed.

 

[zadelim]

Hmm..about the green one. Green one file-size usage is too much for map. about 400kb++ (With Skin). That too much. I suggested that version is just skin. About the highlight. Because I never test in-game. I using Model Editor to show the skin.

 

[Klingo]

Nooooo , the green one was better.

 

[Soul Theft]

give green version back

 

[zadelim]

I will update alternate skin for this. But I need highlight finish first.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I took my time to optimize the mdx files as much as I could by linaerizing the animations through mdlvis.
I also added a portrait camera on the main model in case the filesize is not good enough, thus it's possible to omitt the portrait model.
Though people can use MDX Squisher if they want to compress the models further.

Note: They still use the ZL_DotA_ShadowFiend.blp path.

 

[-Grendel]

ugh, i like the green one better, now he somewhat resembles a firelord....a firelord that has been tinted darker

 

[CeDiL]

In my oppinion, this will not get approval at Dota's request.
Just because the current Shadow Fiend doesn't look bad, and yours is just as good as their 255 0 0 colour set, so sorry dude but this is a waste of space in the map, and of time.

 

[Deolrin]

It was green before. :/

I understand for that. Icefrog make the map. He will decide want use or not.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Whoa, nice. 3/5

:EDIT:

This looks amazing, 5/5 +Rep

 

[I3lackDeath]

Ice is currently too buisy imbalancing the map again...
Perhaps he could think for once and see that a black firelord is not the best fit for the Shadowfiend. It doesn't even fit the icon. XD

 

[mamoeb]

duuuuuude
nevermore is black
not red
D:

 

[zadelim]

sorry mate, I must say this is my Shadow Fiend. Black is ugly.

 

[mamoeb]

your imho :>
good job anyway

 

[papaxong]

Is it even possible to use in-game? I think the black color of Nevermore in DotA is a trigger, hence model texture cannot be change. Please help, I want to use this.

 

[imchou]

nice

the black color of the firelord is not a trigger, just tint the firelord back to 255 in RGB then import this skin
