Tiki Ice Mage

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
A wonderful hero model for any ice based map or ability set.

Comments:
The Tiki Ice Mage I made for TToR by Rightfield. Was supposedly to replace
the Tiki Voodoo Priest by Xaran Alamas because it was poorly finished (head and
skin werent finalised), but later on it has been decided this will be the
model for the Ice Troll priest. Based on the Forest Troll Model and on the skin
of Xaran, the model was revamped, designed and finalised (as well as the texture)
and then optimised (rewrapped so that it only uses TikiMask.blp for the
HeroShadowHunter attributes and the Troll Batrider Atributes were merged into
the TikiMage.blp). Finally the animations of a NWN Model were merged and finalised
on the Tiki Mage. For your enjoyment I present this model for public use.

How to use:
Just direct the model path to this model and its done. No need to add a
portrait animation as there is simply none (merged into the model itself).
Just use Import Manager in TFT and import in the map (remember the import
model bug, you need to save and reload map in order to see the model). The
paths for the skin and model are above. Just import, doubleclick on the
file and alter the path to the above ones. Thats all folks!

Notes:
If you find any bugs or problems or glitches of the model please report this.
We will work on it as soon as possible to bring a updated version out.
* = Wildcard. That means that all textures should use that path.

This is perhaps one of the original models from my early modding days that convinced me to pursue the Jungle Trolls as a custom race; just such a cool-looking, Heroic model; the fruit of a lot of collaboration.

Love this model, and I can't believe it's in cold storage like this. 4/5
 
Could you please remove its Hero glow? The model is more suitable to be a normal unit.
Yeah also the Walk Fast/Walk animations seem swapped around and there's a stand ready animation but no stand animation. Also even though it has hero glow it has no dissipate animation only a decay flesh. I think this model needs updated tbh.

Cookie has been gone since 2009, so you guys may want to direct your comments to someone else. ; )
