Hello everyone,
after some time doing nothing, i decided to make a new hale
this time, hes more unique compared to my other hales

He is called: THE BLOODRIDER




He needs these subplugins:
War3 Ability Pack (for the entangle ability to work correctly)
Dynamic Defaults (for Super jump and Weighdown abilities to work correctly)
His Subplugin (for everything else, its included in the main files)

Backstory that no one cares about
Once a normal blue pyro in the world of tf2, he had to see his teammates be killed one by one. He didnt want to accept its so he decided to ask merasmus for help. He wanted to "fuse" with the souls of his teammates so they would not vanish forever because the enemys has taken out their respawn abilities. Merasmus helped him and also gave him the ability to regenerate life, first he couldnt control it but over time he got used to it and now he wants revenge on the enemys for making his life a living hell.

Config Options:

In the main config, you can set a various of stuff for Bloodrider to your liking!, the config offers:
A various of options to turn things on or off: Stuff like Grapplinghooks, Waves, Intro and Outro songs and Mann up / reaction sounds
Also Bloodriders Speeds, the attributes of the grapplinghooks (if enabled), the Difficulty and the HUD Strings
Every Bloodrider version can be different and it's all in your hands!

Bloodrider's rage will give him Minicrits, the Battalion's Backup and Concheror buffs.
He will also get 1 of 5 different Grenade Launchers (Or Rocket Launchers, which act like Grenade Launchers) and he has the chance to gain the Reflection powerup aswell on rage
He will switch to 1 of 9 different classes and get their respective stock melee + speed

The Rage config:

	"abilityX"
	{
		"name"			"rage_bloodrider"
		"arg0"			"0"
		"arg1"			"10.0"		// Timer for the buffs (Minicrits, Battilions Backup and Concheror buffs)
		"arg2"			"300"		// Ammo
		"arg3"			"10.0"		// Timer for the Rage
		"arg4"			"0.20"		// Chances that you will get the reflection powerup on rage (0.0 to not use this feature)
		"arg5"			"10.0"		// Timer of the reflection powerup
		"arg6"			"0"			// Allow health gaining on Rage?
		"arg7"			""			// How much Health should the boss gain? (If arg6 isn't 0) (% based)
		"plugin_name"   "bloodriders_plugin"
	}

Bloodrider's lifelose ability is pretty much a stronger version of the Rage ability, giving Crits and Uber instead of just Buffs and if enabled, allows him to regenerate a life after some seconds.
And if you set it, Bloodrider will level up and become even stronger than before.
And Instead of having the chance of getting the Reflection powerup, it will give you one of four random powerups: Strength, Agility, Precision and Haste

The Lifelose config:

	"abilityX"
	{
		"name"			"lifelose_bloodrider"
		"arg0"			"-1"
		"arg1"			"10.0"		// Timer for the Crits + Uber
		"arg2"			"600.0"		// Ammo
		"arg3"			"10.0"		// Timer for the Rage
		"arg4"			"10.0"		// Timer for the Powerups (Random chance to get Strength, Haste, Precision or Agility)
		
		// This only matters if arg6 in the ability "bloodrider_config" is 1
		"arg5"			""		// Timer before he regenerates a life
		"arg6"			""		// Additional time for every life lose regeneration
		
		"arg7"			"0"		// Allow rage gaining on Life lose?
		"arg8"			""		// How much Rage should the boss gain? (If arg7 isnt 0)
		"plugin_name"   "bloodriders_plugin"
	}

Download link is broken. mouse over link and you will see what is wrong at the beginning of url

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j2dz5ma334...rider.zip?dl=0

also, there is an inconsistency between directory levels of the war3source folder and the war3source folder that is in the BZ2 should be moved into the sound folder like it is in the uncompressed version, I believe. thanks for sharing your work!

You should mention that it needs otokiru's plugin (ff2_otokiru_wc3.ff2) and Shadow's plugin (shadow93_abilities.ff2)
Because file you put only includes bloodriders own plugin (m7_bloodrider.ff2)

well, i wasnt expecting that someone would watch this thread, its abandon, while my main thread would have all the informations about this and my other hales, well while im at it, i can give more details about this hale here.

Could you nerf it a bit he is INSANELY OVERPOWERED
His grenade outclasses revive markers
And he have got a melee weapon (like his grenade launcher isnt powerfull enough)
Gains hp on rage
Have life regeneration means he can spam lives by hiding.
Players gripling hook is useless because bloodrider have gripling hook (also grippling hook hurts you like boss isnt powerfull enough)

(You can make Life Regeneration and some others disabled by default)

well, you can disable his grapplinkhook, regain live ability and lower his difficulty if you think hes too OP with these settings

Yes i can but problem is when its not on my server. I was on random a ff2 server, playing medic having revived everyone like 4 times but bloodrider was always regenerating life and killed me. (Still i like the boss thought)

I guess need do more time for regenerate life

That's not the problem, it's people camping out until the life regains itself, it'd be better off not existing
