Dota Tidehunter's Attack Sound Suggestion

Dota Tidehunter's Attack Sound



Did you ever notice that Dota 6.54b Tidehunter has no attack sound!?! I find it strange that a giant sea monster wielding a huge anchor makes no noise when he viciously attacks a poor enemy. There is definitely something wrong here. I think many Dota 6.54b player still didnt notice it and same goes to me~

So this suggestion is quite simple, just add a sound to his attack. I think that every hero in DotA 6.54b should have an attack sound and Leviathan should be no exception.

Here it goes the attack sound by Sistem_shock

Tidehunterattack1.1.wav ( 21.49k )
(This sound may seem like it doesn't fit right but try testing it in the test map and it should fit perfectly fine)

Advantages:
Adds no MSI (sound is already in-game)
Make's DotA even more perfect (if it isn't already)

Disadvantages:
I really can't think of any

Here is a test map so you can get a good idea of what it should sound like when Tidehunter attacks.

DotA 6.54b AI+ 1.52 Revision 01

Download Dota 6.54b Ai

DotA Allstars 6.54b AI+ 1.52 Revision 01
----------------------------------------
This is a port of RGB's AI+ v1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).

It behaves the same as the original AI, and has only been updated to account for balance changes, new item recipes, and most new features. As such, some new content does not work fully with the AI yet.

THERE IS NO AI FOR LIFESTEALER, INVOKER, OR CLOCKWERK GOBLIN. THEY WILL GET ITEMS BUT WILL NEITHER USE NOR LEARN THEIR SKILLS.

Known bugs with AI:
-Pathing on the top Sentinel lane is still the same as in 6.48b
-AI don't properly react to -nb, -nm and -nt modes
-Some exploits that should have been fixed are still in the game...just don't use them. If you really want to cheat against AI, just use -test
-Lanaya may crash your game if you use her, depending on how lucky you are

Some commands have yet to be implemented properly:
-ah
-afk
-kickafk
-rd (the new one in 6.53, -rd is in the game but done the same way pre-6.53)

Additionally, I have added two Fun Taverns in the lower right corner. Currently includes nine legacy heroes (possibly more in the future): Old Invoker (6.12b), Old Lifestealer (6.48b), Old Silencer (6.12b), Gambler (6.06), Old Morphling (5.84b), Old Stealth Assassin (5.84b), Void Demon (3.0d), Rider (5.72), and God of Wind (6.01).

To access the fun taverns, type -fun within the first 15 seconds of the game.

Virus Hunter says VH

"Why I determined that this music video?
Since the whole a certain scene in his lyrical I think
The first time that I have the time "End Game".
I can not explain.
This really very good song! Finally, I open my right, Sony Vegas,
drag it to the song, open Warcraft, the top Dota, pa, select and Demon Witch hunters,
Control of management at the point I want to top Fraps, wait for their costs,
then the input by the file in Sony Vegas, and then synchronize.
So I start End Game Music Video. "

At the same time, I PM UA.
But he has power.
"You are the Best Song Maker!" What I will say when he sent me answer.

Why are there two versions? From the music is Dota VIDEO.
My opinion is if the Spell In the video sound effect being maintained.
But I would like battery, which the song at the same time.
I can not decide who is better, so I'll make.
Learn more about both.
They found that two of them maintained, with different feeling

Dota Themes

This is one of the quote from the previous post in DotA Media Forums by Infrisios, one of the beta tester. Credit to Infrisios by providing the Dota Themes to us.

Infrisios said

"First, screw everything you have read here back when it was called Beachpack.
That's old, now it is the Theme Manager!With ~9MB for the rar file, it is much smaller now.More themes will come!"

Overview:
1. What does this "Theme Manager do?
2. What does it contain?
3. How to use it?
4. Spoiler - what will come in the future?
5.-links, FAQ, Credits, Changelog, screenshots, etc sig

1. What does this "Theme Manager do?
The Theme Manager allows you using different terrainsets in DotA without using a different map. This works by replacing the textures / models in your MPQs - WC3's data files - itself. It will not only change DotA's terrain (where it has no glitches), but also other maps. In other maps, it will look quite bad, so this is more useful for DotA.
While it strongly changes the appearance of the map, it does not change anything of the gameplay - the changes are of PURE visual nature and the process is easily reversible.

The Theme Manager is completely compatible with every platform / hosting program (b.net / GGC / DC / LC / Hamachi /...).
Most of this discussion is old ( "Beach Pack") and belongs to versions where it was not compatible and worked in other ways.
The "real" discussion begins somewhere at page 11

The patch seems to have brought no problem at all

2. What does it contain?
Beach Theme:
Beach-terrain everywhere
-- "Pandaren" UI for both parties (thanks to Unwirklich)
Hell Theme:
-- "Hell"-terrain everywhere
-- "Demon" UI for both parties (thanks to Unwirklich)
Snow Theme (Beta)
Every terrain-Snow
-- "Frost" UI for both parties (self-made, based on human)
- no 100% guarantee for stability:-P

3. How to use it?
QUOTE (installation)
How to install the Theme Manager?
1. If you have beachpack installed, to restore original (if you can not, it will not be too bad afaik). You would have exchanged your War3Patch.mpq in this case and should have a backup (with lower filesize).
2. Unpack the file in your warcraft folder - in most cases C: \ Program Files \ Warcraft III.
3. DO NOT move or rename any of the files you unpacked.
4. If you want it on your desktop, create a shortcut of the executable file.
5. Go! (2,3,4,5 step after checking again)

QUOTE (Usage)
1. Close your warcraft AND warcraft world editor. Else it does not work!
2. Start the program. If you start it the first time, it will create a backup of your MPQ
3. Select your favourite Toolkit. If you select one, it will always be activated unless you change it!
4. Start WC3. Whether you start it out of the program or not is not important.
Other maps might have a (visually) screwed terrain - I suggest you to use "original" when playing something different than DotA


Of course, is DotA Icefrog's map, and I would not do something like this without his explicit permission ....
Ice gave me specific permission to do that as long as it is done in conjuction with the beta team and is beta tested and screened by IceFrog and his Betatesters.

Beach Pack in action - in "End Game"!

Have fun!
Infrisios

4. Spoiler - what will come in the future
As the preview screenshots show, the long awaited Snow Theme is close to being finished.

After that, I have a bunch of different basic ideas:
Themes:
Bar - that's what should come after snowpack.
- highland - something rocky -.-
- Dungeon - dunno, this could be a very dark version of the snow theme or something ... I will again have a problem with trees ... sad.gif
Others - these are purely hypothetic
Special functions in the GUI (again, only basic ideas):
- custom user interfaces for each race (with checkboxes or something you can select the interface you'd like)
- custom models, again with checkboxes
- special icons (or do you like the Song of the Siren icon?)

5. DL-links, FAQ, Credits, Changelog, screenshots, etc sig

Downloads: *.rar - you can only unpack these when you have winrar, but they are much smaller.
