I have always wanted to create a ranger hero, And I have been using the Sylvanis Model and icons, and spells. I also made a NE Hero in my Altred melee (That i use to test my custom heros). Its Called The night Ranger, Basicly the same thing as sylvanis, But i use the Icon and Model from Shandris. (If only I can get someone to make a Shandris mode with Hero Glow) Recently I have come across some old news, that there was a HeroRanger in War3Beta.mpq I am interested to learn more about this. Was there an actualy Hero Ranger? What was the model, and Icon, and Spells? Can I find them in The WE (I have TFT 1.15). And Where can I get a hold of a war3Beta.mpq? I know the Icon Source: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNHeroRanger.blp Can anyone help me out? P.S. - If you are interested to make a shandris Model witha hero Glow. PM me PLZ) |

You can easily add a hero glow to any model. Here. There was a ranger hero in RoC alpha. It looked different from the Sylvanus hero that they eventually used for the RoC undead campaign. I guess it looked a little more like the elven archers from Warcraft 2, but I can't back that up since I've never played 2. The skin for the alpha model still exists in war3.mpq, but there's no model associated with it. If you want to use that skin, you'll have to either pull out that skin and re-import it under the name of the current ranger hero skin, or you'll have to pull out the current ranger model, edit it to use the hidden ranger skin, and re-import it. |

I dont have anything that would allow emto get glow effects, andf a model with it attched would be ebtter anyways, cuz the glow effect has flaws that I don't like. I have seen the odel i am looking for, just for some starge reason Search can't Find it! Anyways, Can anyone help me get the Model file, Icon File, and Perhaps a an old copy of the Abilities the HeroRanger Used? I dont want recreated model or icon for the HeroRanger. I know someone (Razorclawx) that is good at model making, and has made HeroRanger model, but I want the Old one. |

The RoC alpha models were never released to the public, and the only way that any of them exist today is through the modelling efforts of individuals in the mapping community. The ranger, however, is exactly the same model as was used in the alpha; only the skin is changed. The skin stayed in the .mpq, though, like I said the first time. If you change the current ranger model to use that skin, you'll have the alpha ranger hero. If you extract the Ranger hero, convert the .mdx to .mdl using YobGuls, change the path of the texture in Notepad to "Abilities\Weapons\RangerMissile\HeroRanger.blp", convert it back to .mdx using YobGuls, and insert that .mdx into your map, you'll have it. Alternatively, if you extract that skin, and re-import it into your map with the custom path "units\Creeps\SylvanusWindrunner\SylvanusWindrunner.blp", it will change the existing ranger general model to use its original skin, the alpha ranger. Clear enough? BTW, even if you import all the custom hero glow models and attach the correctly-colored one instead of refreshing the player color of the unit with a teamcolored glow model, you'll still be adding a lot less filesize to your map than inserting a whole new model of Shandris. She even already has some glow-y parts, so really all she needs is the base glow. EDIT: Found a couple pics of the old ranger, here and here. |

An other thing, does anyone know where I can get the ROC/TFT(If any) (pre-)beta models, skins, icons...? |

They used to be available as downloads from this site, but I don't know where they might be in the new download section. As a temporary measure, I have placed them here: RoC beta models TFT beta models And like I said, alpha material was never made available to the public. |

Since I decided to use the best model I can find, I have another question reguarding the Sound files for her. I havent found any, nor do I know if there is a way to get them, but Something odd came up the other day in ym world editor. Under the sound part, you can select HeroRanger. I searched for it in the sound Module, but no luck, when I tried to tes the map, the Hero was Mute, so i guess Blizzard just left it in there? perhasp If I add some stuff under HeroRanger, it might work? |

Let's move this over to the sound forum and see what they say. |

It might, I don't know where but there is always someplace that tells the game where to look for sound, animations and the likes. If you can edit that, you can make your soundset. I doubt it had one, since voices are generally done in the last few weeks before release. |

i tried it and it worked somewhat i exported sounds from sylvanis and imported them and renamed the heroranger<soundcommd>.wav all the click commands worked while she not moving, but as for attck, and move she was still mute. |
