This topic is going to be about a Bree-land map I'd like to create and submit to RJ for his amazing super-cool mod. If you have any suggestions, please reply.
Thanks to RJ for all his hard work!

Hey I'm looking for a good how-to article on creating new buildings and putting them in worldbuilder. Anyone have any suggestions? Thnx

And not to burst your bubble, this wouldn't be a FORUM, it would be a TOPIC.
Oh, and look around, there has to be something somewhere.

[Windrider]

Thanks ring of fate for your suggestions

Check here for some helpful tutorials if you can't find anything. Good luck

[Excuse_me_princess]

Why not use the Prancing pony as a inn for the level?
I would try to make it another building though.

Not to burst you're bubble.
You can first both a forum and a topic (though a forum is more epic)

Anyway, a Bree map sounds like a good idea, perhaps there should be a competition for it. The user with the most authentic looking map wins, and the map goes into the mod.

I like it Uruk King, it would create some goal-oriented activity here.

I don't have a style, so HA!
The Forum thing was aimed at Wind.

And I like the map idea challenge idea too.

Mapping is pretty much an open thing anyway guys...if you make a map that's good enough and give it to us, we'll stick it in and you'll get mapping forum access

In response to Excuse _me_princess's idea, I would do that in 1/2 a second; the only problem is, I'm not aware of any "Prancing Pony" Buildings in the worldbuilder program. As I am not terribly experienced, that may be an error of not knowing enough about the program. However, I do need one tip. I am trying to work with renx and w3d files some, and I would really appreciate it if someone could give me the names of the corresponding w3d files for the following buildings in worldbuilder. Note that I am using RJ's ROTWK Worldbuilder program. Please specify if the file is in BFME2 or ROTWK Art files:

1. LBHouses_08 under ByNativeType-->Civilian
2. InnOutpostRJ under ByNativeType-->Neutral

Also, where are the worldbuilder files stored?


Thanks guys!

Make a Map where an Inn "represents" the Prancing Pony.

[Excuse_me_princess]

Why don't you just take some random civilian buildings and place them in an about the building you designated "inn" that way you can make you're own building.

Oh, and can you make garrison able houses and stuff, just for the sake of urban combat

Oh btw. thanks for cutting my hair, the weather has really been hot the last few days, I needed a haircut

Hey, I was thinking about doing that, like maybe the city gate be capturable, but I don't know how to do that. If anyone knows I would be happy to put that in the map.

[Scryer]

If we're talking Urban combat, direct yourself to NJM's Osgiliath/Minas Tirith maps in the mod. They have the best urban settings... Study those maps and see what you can learn from them. Once you have the basics down, then we'll talk about garrisoning homes, etc.

Yes!
That's great.... perhaps that way, you can make like.... dude... so many cool stuff.

But I have to agree with Scryer here... first concentrate on playability...
The upside to it is that you are saving the bet for the last!

Sorry for so long since last update guys my computers acting up and im gonna have to switch back to Windows XP. in the mean time, i cant play anyone else using rj's mod online - any suggestions?

[Dalf32]

you would only be able to play against other people who have the mod. still, a lot of people have trouble with the ea servers and the mod, so most of us just use a program called hamachi. it creates a virtual network so you can play lan games with people over the internet. its free and easy to set up, so you should look into it.
