Heroes: Abilities and Attributes by 麦德三世

A chinese guy called 麦德三世 has been actively working on Heroes. He managed to give them abilities and attributes (Str, Agi, Psi ...) based on the level of the hero. He made a modification that adds a Ghost hero for Terran and Temple Knights hero for Protoss. Here are few screenshots he posted.

saltygrapes and Alevice managed to understand how he did it and explained how to get heroes with abilities and attributes on the forums. Now, the only unknown left is how to give an inventory and items to the heroes.

You can learn more (and hopefully help) about the M3 models in the Documentation for static m3 structure and the forum post for details about m3 animations.
