Whats this mod about
This one allows a player to make use of the K2 engine's one neat feature - drawing on the minimap. It was present for commanders in Savage 2, but the UI option for this was not yet introduced in HoN. This mod enables it unofficially until that's in (or they make one of those funny decisions again and never add a toggle).

All players on your team will saw what you draw.

Of course, do maintain a decent code of conduct while using this tool

Caveat Emptor
If two people try to draw at the same time, "it'll spaz out continually try to connect the two points where the people are clicking". There's nothing I can do about this, it's an engine thing. It was designed for only 1 person per team to be able to draw.

If you're having a banlist-worthy douche abusing this, heres how to disable it:

Code:
press ctlr+f8

ui_minimapdrawtime 0

press ctrl+f8


Feedback along with ideas is appreciated.

Whats this mod about
This one makes the hero tooltip be permanent and displays their current/max health instead of their hero name.

Useful on all heroes, especially when playing Legionnaire.

Currently updated as of patch [1.35]
__________________________________________

How to get this

1. Download this .s2z file http://www.box.net/shared/eh8ceo4qk3

2. Place the file inside the Heroes of Newerth game directory

For example: Program Files\Heroes of Newerth\game

You will now have the DotA names like in the screenshots. To revert to the normal setup without the DotA names, simply delete the resources001.s2z file


Enjoy

This just allows right click to be used to deny an allied unit or building, instead of having to attack-click (pressing A then left click). It also means you can't auto-follow an ally, I don't think anyone uses that anyway, just a warning in case.

Start HoN, then at any time run EasyDeny.exe. It will close straight away if successful, else it will display an error message. Vista users must run it as an administrator.

Source code included, public domain.
Download: EasyDeny 0.1.35.zip - Speedyshare
