Import Skins in dota

Posted on Fri Jun 12, 2009 6:36 pm

Well i used search tool and nothing came out.Either there is no topic about this or i didn't wrote it good.Anyways...

What do you think that Icefrog puts some imported skins in dota.If he did it, then on which hero(none that i saw).Also if not, why?He imports item picts and skill picts, so why not import skins?I think there are some good skins in Hive Workshop (where he takes item and skill picts).

Before he didnt because it would invoke lag and huge load time. Now that the problem is solved with OP computers and internet, it should be a viable idea.

From what I know, Enigma, Phantom Lancer, and Invoker (even if its more a light change than a total new skin) are three heroes with non-wc3 base skin.
There is although many spell effects using imported models, such as Blackhole, Freezing Field, and ... well can't think of more atm.

The thing with imported stuff is that they increase the map's weigth and the loading time (You can see a little freeze on the loading screen, around 10%).

New skins make the map size bigger. W3 max map size is around 4mb.
Thats why.

Hm...Thanks for the clearance KingV.But then the map soon wont be able to change a lot since it is already at 3.8 mb(or is it that the dot for decimal number of kb or is it 4 digits so they put dot there, idk)

Who said that i want this.I just asked people's opinions, because i noticed that the skins are running short(those that aren't used are just almost same looking as some other).
