[Model] PotM Arrow

Infrisios · 02-09-2011, 11:04 AM

Hey guys,
people told me that PotM Arrow is boring, so I tried to make it more fitting to the theme.

Since the visibility is an important point to some people, I'll also give you a screenshot of the old one.

Old:

Suggested:

Blue head, blue trail. The trail is a bit shorter than the original one.

MSI: 2054 bytes

Attached to this post, I added a mod.exe.
Explanation:
-start the exe, WC3 starts
-start a normal DotA singleplayer, you can use the changed arrow model there
-don't ever use this in multiplayer, it gives you a desync after a few minutes
-no it is not a virus

T-UP

T-up since I always feel like a ballista shoots at me when I see mirana's arrow. It's kinda too bulky atm.

Kinda too simple and not really better IMO

Any suggestions on how to improve it?

I prefer the old thread with attachments in it... I forgot where is it though...

Or, maybe, make it looks brighter / glowing

darxide · 02-09-2011, 11:36 AM

yeah, maybe an allied-only glow for the arrow if possible. like a hero glow, but arrow-shaped.

or maybe add small blue sparkles (like from the autocast animation on icons maybe)

Schremba · 02-09-2011, 11:48 AM

Well, I don't think that it is a surprise for you, but I prefer the one that I created once for another thread out of fun. It was completely ingame and I prefer that swirling energy.

Can you give me a link?

doomsheep · 02-09-2011, 12:13 PM

imo the arrow itself is fine but it could use some sweet birth and death animations

Ez_Mystery · 02-09-2011, 12:49 PM

The blue glow looks nice

Could you change the death animation of it also?
So that it doesn't look like a puff of smoke or whatever

ParaDise.- · 02-09-2011, 01:03 PM

Dunno
What is wrong with current
is simple and fits
T-Down

Well, I am pretty sure you already commented it, however, here it is:

Infrisios · 02-09-2011, 01:38 PM

Could add that for allies maybe.

@.-WinterSpring-.: as I said, the current one is somewhat boring.

This one is not bad, its better then the current one , but not far better to u know replace it.

Maybe it leaves like somethings behind, since u added the blue thing , Maybe Ice/Snow animation?

Or something like that.

model is good but not worth the msi.

Reduced to 2054 bytes. Better now? :P

4nTr4xX · 02-09-2011, 03:20 PM

unsure.
the difference is very small. the way i see it atm:

if it is a change for allies and enemys; any change will alarm those who are afraid that it will become easier to dodge it.

so it would be wise to make an allied only change; IF it is only for allies anyway i would make it far mor fancy to justify the change. like a long sparkeling moon/stardust trail, more color for the arrow etc.

The biggest problem for me personally is the fact that this arrow is far too big.
He is nearly as big as the archer...hello Avatar?
It comes out of the same case/quiver and is just enchanted by potm.
Like windrunners powershot its just a normal arrow with a spell on it and it works for her.

So i would just take a normal arrow, spice it up with a trail and a bit of blue like you did here and make it visible for everyone. As simple as that.
