Naga Library

This bundle is marked as lacking. It fails to meet the standard requirements and may only have minor use.
This is the model of Naga library/archive. It is supposed to be a Naga research/caster training building. If you use it in your map give me credits, do not modify or redistribute this model without my permission. Enjoy!

Edit I: Added team glow, added basic birth animation.
Edit II: Improved team coloring, added sprites, improved work animation, fixed birth animation to be consistent with patch 1.30.

There are some geometry issues on the team coloured parts. The seems to clip and cause weird graphical glitches. Please fix those.

First of all, this is a building. It is supposed to be built and destroyed. I really do not appreciate your comment which is based on placing few doodads. I know animations are simple but there is not much to do on a building when it comes to animating a building. Particles can be reduced and I might do that. But since there are not much naga building models I made this one for myself.

@misha:
that and some proper surrounding like a coral reef barrier or something naga styled. i dont think bookshelfs, even made of stone, would be what you would call the "walls" of the building. how much hitpoints is it supposed to have? ~17.5?
 
All naga buildings are of open type. Spawning Grounds, Coral Bed, Temple of Tides... Those buildings do not have a roof or walls for that matter. This building is not supposed to have 17.5 health, because naked Grunt has more health than armored Footman. As I made this to be research facility it is supposed to be one. And to prevent negative comments I will just note that Naga buildings are made for underwater purposes and there is no need for roof underwater. None of naga buildings (except Shrine of Azshara) have what you are asking me to add so please give advice on how to improve model instead of diminishing its quality.
 
Well model is uh interesting but it really doesn't look like uh research building kinda. Maybe some ritual altar rather but would be nice if it looked like it wasn't something made out of simple doodads.

I had doodads wich were named Library Shelf, Naga Circle, braziers and collumns that look like they have been underwater. Since naga summon their buildings I figured that library could be made out of these doodads since it is summoned from underwater. And I put stone blocks for books because paper has tendency to dissolve under water.

very useful (and also, there is a lack here on the hive of naga buildings), but overal, it's a nice model indeed.

It would be nice, if the place where the purple magic flare comes from had something like a brazier (as Alagremm noted earlier).

I don't seem to get the birth animation from your model. Please tell if it's me did anything wrong or the model file does not contain a typical naga birth animation?

Hello,
It seems that the naga birth model path has changed with the new patch. The model has to be updated with latest pathing. However my PTR version does not have MPQ files I can open, so it will take me some time to figure this out.
 
Well If you want I can add a Tiki Hut roof for you. xD It might be a bit flashy, but you know, powerful Naga magic and stuff. I updated the model since a user here could not load birth animation since it was moved to SharedModels\. Anyway, I hope you like it :)
hm.. wonder if that shifting of some model/texture paths would become a problem for some of my models.. I've made enough models to not think about updating each one of them to some developer's whim..
 
It probably did, but you have so much more models, and I do not update every single one. I am just gonna update the models when people ask for it. What is funny is that since I could not find patch 1.30 mpq archives anywhere, I extracted them from data.000 and built mpqs. However some pathings are not the same as in the game. And you know CRASH on the load. :D And that is mostly for water and terrain. Like A_Water000.blp is now A.mpq\Water000.blp, which crashed my map until I returned it to A_Water000.blp Weird.

tbh i still keep the old game and old mpqs, just because i have everything set up and working.. i really don't know if these new updates are still experimental or not
