Misha: so.. I approve it
because that's completing an incomplete model, so to say

 

[chobibo]

I remember looking for something like this 8 years ago... At least (not last okay...) I finally found it!

 

[MrHobby53]

WUT???

So basically it's the same Crypt lords Burrow form?
Buut I guess that's good... Model looks (in my opinion) a bit weird... actually i'm not a fan of crypt dudes... V ^ V.... but yeah it's useful....
Actually it would be nice if we could see how it looks in game... >.>

[many actuallies ]

 

[Kam]

It's the whole model, the preview is showing him in his burrowed form. Other than animation changes this is identical to the Blizzard model.

 

[chobibo]

@MrHobby: the default Crypt Lord doesn't have a burrow and unburrow animation.
@Kam: I should have requested this 8 years ago, crap... If I just have known you back then... so many regrets...

I have always wanted this as well. It wasn't until I was working on a hero for my project that I finally made a request.

The community should find use for it.

I know your pain; such a simple but useful edit... However, you do realize that Kam didn't make it; he just uploaded it for UgoUgo (who actually made it).

Might want to mention that, Kam (though it's in the "author" section, true).

 

[chobibo]

I knew that, sorry for being dumb though.

 

[Misha]

sure this is very useful, but it is also really really simple.. too simple to be actually posted in the resource section, folks S:

 

[Kam]

Despite the immediate positive response? =(

 

[chobibo]

But the chain lightning icon was like this too but it got approved right?

EDIT: kyrbi0's post is bugging me, I know how to read, I knew who made the model, there was a vm link I tracked on Kam's profile. Here, just to assure you I acknowledged the guy, look at the rep's time stamp. I hope that clears things up...

 

[Kyrbi0]

I would argue otherwise; there are plenty of simpler models (or less well-done) in the Resource section.

Sorry about that... Let's move this to VM's, if that's ok.

 

[Kam]

I would hope that rather than complexity this would be rated based on usefulness. I am positive there are many people that would be interested in having the Crypt Lord model function as it was intended.

Who knows why Blizzard skimped on it.

 

[SpasMaster]

Could "exceptions" be moved under the Blizzard user profile, just like it's done with icons? I dunno, just a suggestion.

 

[WhiteDeath]

Why don't you try editing the mesh and maybe rewrapping it a little? That way if people are going to use 300kb to upload the model, they are not going to just use them on a burrow animation for the crypt lord, but on a whole new and improved alternate crypt lord, with a burrow animation.
You could also edit the model to reduce it's file size, since it will most probably be used for the burrow animation, erase all other animations, maybe even some bones.

 

[Kam]

If you squish the model twice it's 98 kb.

I agree through that the Crypt Lord could use a makeover. It would be interesting if the community would take this as an initiative to make a 2.0 version that does not alter the overall appearance, but seeks to finish what Blizzard started. One immediate thought would be burrowed spell animations to compliment the normal spell animations.

 

[chobibo]

That would be good, a new appearance would be nice, I just hope it doesn't look cute like the WoW re-imaging...

 

[Gamegear]

approved.. :S

edit: find its better

 

[PlankingWolf]

Oh goody, this would prove really useful. It's a simple edit, but the burrow has been fixed, so, I'm gonna give this a 5/5.

 

[Kam]

Why was this changed to "Lacking" today?

 

[knight26]

You're awesome man, and this is very helpful and useful!.
It's a shame blizzard didn't include this as a crypt lord ability originally.
BLIZZARD YOU MADE MANY MISTAKES YOU WHORE!.

Anyway, I like the idea of 'perfecting' the models/skins.

 

[Bloody Wolf]

but im pretty sure ive seem a burrow animation for cripty a long time ago...it was on a old aos where he was a fire beetle but i cant remenber the name of the map

Tides of Blood?

 

[Bloody Wolf]

Tides of Blood?

yea thats the map...good old times

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well, that's great, but see that's for the "Poryphorya" (whatever it's called) Fire Beetle of ToB. If people wanted to just use the regular Blizzard Crypt Lord like that, they couldn't.

hmmm yea that makes sense

 

[jonbon29]

Hmm this is a unique burrow, however the file size is big thou.

 

[LISBOAH]

I am trying to use it, but the model that appears in the map is the regular crypt lord. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Mister_Haudrauf]

Nothing Wrong. I mean the model is basically just the Cryptlord with additional animations. That's it.

 

[LISBOAH]

Nothing Wrong. I mean the model is basically just the Cryptlord with additional animations. That's it.

Oh, damn it...I wanted to use it with another model. Using this model as burrowed status and the other as unburrowed.

 

[Mister_Haudrauf]

Oh, damn it...I wanted to use it with another model. Using this model as burrowed status and the other as unburrowed.

Look at the Cryptfiend for reference. Look at the "Bone animation" tag for the Cryptfiend and you will see "Stand Alternate" as the tag. This will make him burrowed.

 

[KILLCIDE]

@LISBOAH if you want it to immediately appear burrowed in the editor, you have to go the "Animation Names" field and type in alternate.

 

[LISBOAH]

@Mister_Haudrauf
@KILLCIDE

Thank you!

 

[Moises08x]

Perfect

 

[Lich134]

u should change the picture

 

[Barade]

Really useful.
