Invoker model path (Dota)

[Mc_R00ster]

Does anybody know the path to the Invoker model for Dota? I have been trying to find a solution to it for ages.

I have tried

Textures/HeroBloodElf.blp but that doesn't work.

First, Textures/HeroBloodElf.blp is a texture, not a model. Second, the invoker uses the regular model and a custom texture.

This is the correct path.
Textures\Hero_BloodElf.blp

And the custom texture is applied to the ingame Blood Mage (Kael) model.

You can't simply replace the texture on this one, you would have to use the Bloodmage model, add the texture you want to use to it and set it to all materials that use the Hero_BloodElf.blp. Though there are not that many good BloodMage skins out there.

I don't think DOTA shares their custom skin to the publicity.
So you can't find it.

That is NOT what I wrote. Open the regular Bloodmage model in Magos, go to textures, import the Bloodmage texture you want, apply it to the materials that use it, and save it f.ex. to your WC3 main folder.

Yeah, like many custom maps, DOTA maps are secured. You can open them in any MPQ editor, but won't find anything useful.

Because you forgot the s on Textures.

Because you forgot the s on Textures.

The usual texture replacing won't work, as Icefrog imported a custom texture into his map with the standard texture path. So, simply replacing that file won't work as long as you don't change the map itself.

Please clarify what you are looking for. I'm stuck wondering if you're looking for the path for the Blood Mage model, or the texture, the custom texture used on the Blood Mage model to represent Invoker in DotA or a way to replace the Invoker's model, or texture, in DotA.

Actually, you can replace it. What do you think the 'Skins' section is for? It's for textures for the in-game models (Mostly) and if you want duplicate models, then you'll have to change the materials with your custom texture in Magos. DvO is right, your forgot the 's'.

If I hear it correctly according to I3lackDeath, the OP wants to use a custom Bloodmage/Kael skin on the DotA map itself via the Allow Local Files regedit trick, but it doesn't work due to the map itself using a custom resource of the same path.

Icefrog's map does NOT use a custom texture path to its imported skin, that's why you have to edit the standard model YOURSELF so it looks for a different path.

Gahhhhhhh. It replaces the default blood mage texture with a custom one. The path is not changed (Textures\HeroBloodElf.blp), but the texture is. End of story.

This. There shouldn't be any more other discussion about the issue. Any other concerns can be taken up in a new thread. Kthnx.
