[IMPLEMENTED][COSMETIC] Landmines (Techies)

1nvok3r · 07-08-2009, 06:06 PM

So... landmines don't actually have an effect when they explode, the mine just plays its death animation and the units take damage.

I propose that we use this effect:

This model makes sense because it is a "ground-based explosion", which is perfect for a land mine that's on the ground. Hell, it even sprays dirt into the air as well as fire.

The MSI from this model is minimal (~14KB unoptimized), and with the future increase of the mapsize limit, it's nothing at all to worry about.

Also, when a mine explodes in the river, I propose that a little splash graphic (like Slardar's crush or Kunkka's torrent) be added.

I like it.

T-Up For sure.

This would be better with his ulti IMO.

1nvok3r · 07-08-2009, 09:03 PM

I was actually planning on suggesting this for his ulti (it's much bigger):

Although, we could always try using this (it's just dirt exploding... more suitable for a frag mine)

Un1t3D_ · 07-08-2009, 09:17 PM

Damn, that looks sick.
!T-Up.

nice! thumbs up

BUT can i get source on quote? I'm not familiar with Icefrog stating increase in mapsize.

I like it but techies tends to lay several mines in one spot. With so much eye candy might it cause performance problems? However it is a nice effect and the current one is non existant.

Not if the model is preloaded, and seeing as Icefrog already does this for several other spells in DotA (invoker), I don't think this would be a problem at all.

T-up. I like it!

CamouFlage · 07-09-2009, 05:22 PM

i think it's abit too much... if you run over like 7 mines you won't see much of your hero and surroundings anymore.
but the idea of some cool animations for explosions is good

Drikam · 07-09-2009, 05:31 PM

Both look awesome.

Well it's a powerful skill that does 600 damage... a few seconds of an animation isn't going to hurt.

Cp6uja · 07-09-2009, 06:36 PM

I vote for water explosion. But I don't think that we need to get ~10KB model for just and explosion, there already is small one.

1nvok3r · 07-09-2009, 06:47 PM

10kb before optimization is nothing. Personally I find the explosion models in WC3 to be terrible, so this is worth a few kb.

Drikam · 07-09-2009, 06:49 PM

Add this omfg! awesome again.

And people will start palying techies only to see this effect lol.

1nvok3r · 07-09-2009, 07:42 PM

I would totally play techies just to see watery explosions in the river.
