Helm's Deep map changes - OUTDATED

Posted 28 April 2007 - 07:38 PM

This is where I'll be putting all the new map images for Helm's Deep. These images are old and some things may have changed. This just gives an idea of what I'm been working on for the map


Helm's Deep Causeway (new feature for map)


Alternate view of new causeway


Added path for the rohirrim charge scene


Secret path Gimli and Aragorn use in movie


The Deeping Wall is now seperated from the Hornburg


Picture of the new Glittering Caves


Seperated Hornburg section ( may make walls taller through modeling)


Secret staircase to back of Helm's Deep Tower


Aragorn leaving entrance in front


Entrance to Helm's Deep Throne (hopefully, I'll make a real door through modeling)


Left inside room


right side room and entrance to Glittering Caves


Staircase to throne room


center throne room (hopefully, I can eventually make a custom throne through modeling)

WOAAHH thanks for adding all these pics these are what i wanted to see

love the secret staircase up the mountain bit at back, from movies i like

Oneee question - for the inside of the keep and glittering caves, will there be doors/gates that need to be broken down for each section? because if not im suddenly wondering why anyone would retreat down there..... - just an idea maybe, they look great but unless theres some map objective to do with it - and currently there seems no gates, if you've been forced back into the caves there isnt really anything there to make you more likeley to survive there...

It looks awesome though

ye i agree with cal.


hey, does this map change from day to night? cause they first batch of pics everything is bright...

I looked into that but I'm afraid it isn't possible. The shots during the day were taken a long time ago, and I should really update them with night settings. I'm going to be changing and editing a lot more with the map, so many of the pictures will probably be replaced anyways

Playing games? Ah, you'll never be a good modder if you get involved in actually playing them!

SUGESTION; you could reset the timer of the icy rain spell.

that will be

Yes, the rain will be set up so it starts when the battle starts and continues throughout the battle. There will also be lighning and thunder effects just like in BFME1

That's the thing. Rohan will not have cloud break in their spell book. Instead, it'll be replaced with the horn of helm hammerhand which will cause fear on enemy troops

will there be a sunbreak when the rohhirim and gandalf appear?

and the rain spell cancels all leadership bonuses - will you edit it just so there is rain or keep the lack of leadership? because i would prefer to keep the leadership bonuses in tact but keep the rain as a nice visual ...thing

Yes, there will be a cloud break then. And since I now know how to change the light settings in a map, the map will contain both day and night settings

Yes, the rain will just be a visual effect and it won't cancel leadership bonuses

I have to say I love this mapmod The only one thing I don't like is how there is water under the causeway but, hey if the rest of it is as good as I hope that won't really matter

Yea, many of those images are old and there's still a lot of work that still needs to be done. The causeway will most likely be more like the movie one, and I put the water in befor I knew how to model

OH, if you haven't got around to fixing that [I've tried making my own Helm's Deep] you can use a few of the original causeway pieces and then just raise the ground under them, but I bet you already have done this and made it better, well keep up the excellent work and have a good day
