Very Odd... "Skin"

I found an odd troll skin in the WC3 Viewer. Its in War3.mpq under Doodads\LordaeronSummer\Crates\Troll256red.blp

Intresting discovery, it shares much similarity with the Headhunter, possibly an early draft of it?

Hmm... it doesn't seem to fit the headhunter... if it does then it wasnt finished...

I know, but look at the pants and spear. Also, I realized, if you look at the Blademaster skin, in the back you can see a face and I think a little bit of body of what looks like a smaller blademaster. It's practically the same size as this troll. I'm guessing they used a different kind of wrapping when they started out and those were earlier drafts so they either painted over them or just stuck them in odd places under doodads :ggani:

they prolly started with smaller resolution skins,m and when they realized that they could make uber skins, scrapped those, this troll is prolly a low res draft.

ive looked through all my viewers and i can't find it??

HELP ME :bangH:

its just the texture, the actual model doesnt exist for the specific texture (its doable tho). its just a leftover file from the alpha.

Looks like a forest troll/headhunter hybrid...

to me the skin (not that screenie) always seemed like the old Orc Hunter concept art in the Art of Warcraft. Essentially a headhunter but was an Orc rather than a Troll.

Thank you, Wolverine :dance:

Is that the skin placed on a head-hunter? If not then could you post a .mdx that fits. That would look really cool in-game.

No, its a picture from the beta, it doesn't work on a headhunter.

ya and ive seen a shark textures too sumwhere in textures

That's not a betaskin, actually the shark texture is for the Behemoth creep. They're amphibious, and when they're in the water, they flip over and their shell looks like a shark.

if anyones interested, i converted the odd skin into the headhunters flat, meaning you can play with the alpha troll.
