I have added two important tutorials to The3rdAge.net.

These include how to prepare your BIG files for extraction and how to get them to work ingame. I will be adding some more over the next day or two as I've been playng with it more and am coming to some more success with modding them.

I have now added more tutorials. I hope they help. I plan for official launch Jan 30th.

This is because the new bases for the Faction havent been setup. This is being addressed in my next tutorial, "New Factions - Bases". However, due to the nature of editing the bases, its requiring a lot of work to complete. It requires editing every Camp Flag to allow it to change to your new faction to be built there and it also requires you to build every new base in Worldbuilder.

I'm slowly going through the process of writing this tutorial, and am aiming to complete it as quickly as possible so that new people are able to use their new factions.

Great, well I will definitely look into this, I am no noob to modding, and I love a challenge, I should be able to figure it out myself, but I am quite interested to see your tutorial. A second approach or point of view to the samep challenge is always good!!

The second part of the New Faction tutorial is great, and has so far worked for me. Any estimations on how long the third installment will take?

I'm guessing by the end of next week at the earliest. Probably longer than that as time allows. It is rather invloved. AdmiralGT's baby. I myself am tryin to create summon allies to summon Sauron and a few hordes for Isengard. I will than write a tutorial on that. After that I will add Sauron as a hero for Mordor. And write a tutorial likewise.

This also will take time as there is missing artwork and such. I'll have to see how it goes. If I'm succesful I'll include all the art files into a zip file along with the code for the tutorial so no one has to reinvent the wheel.

There was a request on the 3rd Age Web Page for suggestions on tutorials, and I don't know how much you know about this, but a good tutorial would be the complete process on adding a new unit to the game. At this point, it probably wouldn't include modeling or skinning, however the programming needs to be done before the modeling or skinning can be implemented, so it may be something to look into!!

Just a suggestion!!

Yeah, a definate must. I added Sauron as an ally for Isengard. Today I'll add some hordes to show up with him. After adding him as a hero for Mordor, than I'll move on you adding a whole new unit.

I'm gonna take Gimli model and turn him into a dwarven infantry, than a horde. With this type of unit I can progress through reskinning it and such. WIP, and a long one.
