[COSMETIC] NERUBIAN WEAVER'S COSMETIC REMAKE

[AXN]

COSMETIC REMAKE:

Nerubian Weaver's Model and Shikuchi Cosmetic Remake

Hi DOTA Community!

I would like to make a few cosmetic changes with regards to Nerubian Weaver:

1.) Model
2.) Icon used
3.) Shikuchi effect

==== MODEL ====

I find the current model too colorful and less likely to be a scourge hero, its more like a neutral hero to me but its to colorful to be "something to be feared by Nerubian Assassin (based on hero's story)"

So I propose the Crypt Fiend model:



I propose this to be used instead of the current model. Looks more scourge-like, fiendish like, and look at the cool spikes at the back / abdomen of the spider. Makes Nerubian Weaver look more intimidating.

This is an in-game model so no MSI here.

==== ICON ====

Change the icon from the current, Nerubian Queen

to the Crypt Fiend's . Icon is in-game, no MSI here.

==== SHIKUCHI EFFECT ====

Now this one is a little eye-candy for Nerubian Weaver's nuke ability. I'm also reviving this suggestion done by Aeon at allstars.com:



It's to add those effects to make Nerubian Weaver's spell look better. I know its a simple spell but the added effect depicts he moves faster.

The coding can be done like this:



All effects are in-game, no MSI here too.

Thanks to Aeon for the idea of the Shikuchi effect. Please try out the test map too.

Let me know your comments and feedback DOTA community. Thanks!

T-up for the 3. very nice


just remove the attachment on his head since sukuchi only affects his move speed.

Thanks for the T-Up juLizen!

By the way nice avatar... that's Storm Spirit right? He is one of my favorite heroes

1. DO YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE EVERY SUGGESTION WITH CAPS LOCK ON?

2. Indeed, hero is more scourge now.

3. Please, put Icon of Crypt Fiend at your sugg, people like to see pictures

4. Isn't that effect used at Slardar? I agree that suits good, but can you find something more darker?

T-Up overall.

Thanks for the vote.

1.) Umm the all caps are for the headers only. It's just to catch the attention, like the sign post we see in the road like "NO LEFT TURN", "NO PARKING", "DO NOT FEED THE BEARS" etc...

2.) Thanks

3.) I'm looking for that... I'll get one from Blizzard's website

--- found it in the map editor and posted it here

4.) Nope, the one I used is "Spirit of Vengeance". Please try the test map, it has a more "undead" effect (with a soul-like image in the trail) unlike Slardar's simple blue trail (water-like effect).

Please try the test map DOTA Community. It does the images more justice hehehe!

T-up, looks very scourge-y....

[bimjowen]

T-up.

T-up for the model. Looks way better using the Cryot Fiend model. I didn't really like the new animation though. Maybe something similar to Akasha's Scepter attachments would be more fitting IMO.

Just what I was talking about. Something more "darker".

I was looking for other darker effects but it would look like the effects of the weave spell and also Balanar's Hunter in the Night.

you don't know how does you fave hero looks like lol


now try to work with removing the attachment on head.

[IplayRandom]

I don't like this suggestion. The current weaver fits the time manipulation time way better, as it's more mystical and looks far more agile to perform his action than crypt fiend. The suggested model looks scary and all, and would probably fit a different theme, but it doesn't have that special charm his smaller brother has.

Fu'kup, doesn't look bad Tup

I like this suggestion. The Crypt Fiend is a good model instead of that Nerubian Queen. I've actually wanted this way way back.

[Stalker]

It is perfect T-Up fits the theme looks cool.

T-Up

There is no explanation. If you want, you can suggest your idea whenever you want. Either say something connected to topic, or create new one. King James, do not reply. The End!

[NoThlnG]

T-Up for shukuchi. But I think weaver now already fits the term. It's more "nerubian"

[AXN]

@Henry

Hmm it would look similar to Nerubian Weaver if this was made into a new hero. And I can't think of a hero concept that's why I want to use it on Nerubian Weaver since it suits him better

@juLizen

Hmmm Ok I'll keep that in mind about removing the attachment on the head...

@IplayRandom

Thanks for the honest comments

@Broodmother

Thanks for the support

@king_james
