Hello everyone!

 

I would like to ask a question!

I'm playing with the age of the ring mod, and I want to replace the model of Sauron (and the Necromancer) with the model from LOTR conquest game. I have this model (mesh, org and tga files).

Honestly I dont have experience for modelling, just started reading the tutorial topics.

So, this is even possible? Or just wasting time?

 

Or maybe anyone known one mod in which this, or a similarly detailed Sauron model is present?

That would make things easier for me!

I'm relatively new at this too, so I'm hoping someone more experienced will reply to this thread also.

 

To answer your question, it might be possible. You will need either Gmax and Renx or 3DS Max 8 to open your model and convert to the W3D file that BFME reads. Also you will need to apply the texture to the model, which I am not very experienced with.

Once that is accomplished, I think you would need edit the INIs (unless you kept the same name as the original Sauron files) and you'd need to use an asset builder to add your new model and texture to AOTR's asset.dat.

This would take some time, I'd imagine.

I'm not sure about other mods with a similar Sauron.

 

Note: I'm not sure if either of those programs I mentioned can open the models from LOTR Conquest, but I'm guessing they will....?
