So I recently found some videos of the Epic Mod. I must say this mod has a lot of potential..

 

 

Note that there are more parts of the video.

Some of those features they made are pretty cool, however from checking the other videos, the mod does seem to be using other mods' art without permission. I made those Gondor Soldiers for Edain that are shown in the other videos.

Yes he uses unit models from Edain mod, but I believe they are rather temporary. I mean, with his skills I'm sure he can make unit models himself .

Mother of...! That construction of Barad-dûr with all that FX was... Epic. 

 

This seems like a whole new level of modding. Just look at this Dol Guldur map:

Yes, just watched it. Looks very epic indeed.

 

@RoR: He stated that it's based off Edain 3.8.1, probably a so-called sub-mod.. Let's just assume he got permission for it

Well I'm assuming he doesn't since Edain tells him to remove the stuff on a couple of his videos. My Gondorians were only used in Edain 4.0 and up, so if it's based on 3.8.1 then he knows what he's doing.

Yeah, let's not assume that. Plagiarism has been rampant recently. This guy does some fancy stuff, but stolen art completely invalidates that in my view.

[Nazgûl]

Seems odd that he'd rip stuff considering what he can do. That Dol Guldur model looks rather unique. Has anyone seen that before?

[MattTheLegoman]

It would be better in a map. I've taken down some notes.

 

The UV maps are making me want to throw up.

I know this topic is a bit old, but for us the problem with the Epic Mod is still there. We never allowed them to use any of our content, and clearly told them to stop it. The problem is, they are publishing the mod only at places where we can't reach them. The mod seems to be based on 3.81, but uses many assets from 4.0.

It is just a ripoff of the Dol Guldur in Edain 4.0, which I created. Multiple copies of the original model were put together, which are weird scaled.

 

Just in case anyone wonders about something being allowed as a submod of Edain. All submods of Edain are required to be mainly presented in our SubMod board: https://modding-unio...ic,13951.0.html

Anything not being there or not having its main representation there, isn't likely to be an allowed submod at all.

Check their facebook page. Dagor is over now.

[FG15]

Oh that is a big coincidence, I checked their page one hour before that post. I just hope that really ends that problem.

HI, are there any news on EPICMOD's development progress and even a  possible release date or it is dead for ever ? Thanks in advance 

[MattTheLegoman]

Given that it is stolen content, the modders here and at Edain are hoping it is dead. And you won't find news from us.

[knowledgeforall]

Thanks for answer. Stolen content maybe, but  concept of Epicmod is indeed innovative and pity to go dead.
