take a look, let me know what you think, first skins i've made, so i'd appreciate tips/critique's from you experiences skinners, thanks.

my opinion is: this is the only nice and appealing one: http://www.brik.bravehost.com/skins/humans/phoenix.html Gj on the others though, most people dunno how to even extract an image :-\

i moved the skins so they can actualy be dl'd and used now, find them at:

as to the phoenix being the best, i posted these on like 3 other map/modding forums and most ppl say that's the worst, lol

for some reason ppl like the rune master the best

as far as skinning goes, even tho it looks the simplest, the Automaton was the funnest to make, the transparancies and the Juggernaut version, was all quite fun.

go to object editor > Spells

if your looking for the more advanced type, such as DoTA or ToB
than those are called - Trigger Based spells... Which are more or less ez.... it depends on how advanced you want it.

Example:

Events: A Unit begins channeling an ability
Conditions; ability being cast is Equal to fan of knives
Actions: Special effects - Play special effect at <region/unit/polar offset>

============================

This is off the top of my head...though im am quite sure this is all accurate.

I have made 4 some what custom abilities for my hero the teleportation master.

1. Teleportation - Teleports him anywhere on the map using the abolish magic model thing

2. Teleportatios Slam - Basically flamestrike with different models/damage/radius

3. Shield of Teleportation - Divine shield with the Mana Shield model

4. Teleportation Attack - Starfall or w/e with teleport models it looks pretty cool and it sounds cool too

if you wanna use custom made icons just import them and use custom path. the path would be, for example if the filename is BTNLifeSiphon.blp then you type ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNLifeSiphon.blp for the path. then save the map. close the world editor. open your map again and you can select your icon. i cant post an icon here, some1 change that.

How do I make custom skills?

How do I, parsay, make these custom skills, as I have seen in DotA and Doomsday Stand. I'd also like to know, if anyone DOES know, how to edit a hero or unit? Not as in stats, but as in color, shape, form etc. etc.?
