This is the renamed Gondor and Rohan Mod...

I've finished adding everything to Gondor and am ready for some testers to try it out and see how things look.

So, if you are interested in testing the mod, please PM me and I'll send you the link.

Also, I updated my website with the information about the mod and all the changes I've made so far.

You can use your Private Messenger once you get 10 posts... so go post 4 more posts and then I'll PM the link to you. I don't like to post links to beta mods in the forum...

awww the beta version crashes? when you hit Solo play - Skirmish. It crashes with some error about game.dat.

you have to go into the bfme folder where the mods big file is placed and delete your Skirmish.ini. or was it another ini file there?

[GothmogtheOrc]

You will need to edit your "Skirmish.ini" file:

CurrentUserName = t_00e_00s_00t_00_20_001_00
UserNames = t_00e_00s_00t_00_20_001_00_2C_

Short Version: Replace your "CurrentUserName" code with the one I have here, the "t_00e..." one. And add the code in the "UserNames" part infront of your user names (the new code should end like this ..._2C_*YOUR USER NAME CODES HERE* and the codes should form one very long line with no spaces in it)

Long, explanation version:

CurrentUserName = t_00e_00s_00t_00_20_001_00
UserNames = t_00e_00s_00t_00_20_001_00_2C_00t_00e_00s_00t_00_20_002_00

I know that this code looks confusing, but it actually isn't that hard to read once you know how. None of the "00" are relevent (unless your name is 007 or something) so, if you read the "Current User name" part, but in your mind remove the "00" you'll get "t_e_s_t_20_1_00"... now ignore the "_" marks... "test 20 1 00"... now remove the "20" as it simply stands for a space mark... "test 1 00"... now remove the last "00" because the computer just adds it in to stay uniform... "test 1" and you have the profile name. Simple. So, to save the rest of your profiles but still be able to run the game all you need to do is add a new user and make that new user profile the "CurrentUserName" and you'll keep your old profiles and still be able to run the mod.

The reason why it works this way is that when you play as a new faction it records the faction name and number along with record...then when you open the skirmish menu it can load up the last played faction and show you your record with them. The problem arises when the last faction you played, say an Elven faction you added, doesn't exist in my mod...so the game doesn't know what to do and it decides to give you a game.dat error.

Thats odd it worked fine for me and i dindn't have to do anything

[GothmogtheOrc]

That is because myrkul_8 played "The Witch King's Kingdom" which adds two new factions in... according to his post in that thread.

-GothmogtheOrc

[|MeMw|Murazor]

Oh...well that's different

[myrkul_8]

Actually that werent the problem, its a problem with my RAM memory. I have to restart now and then because it dosnt clean up unused RAM.

[GothmogtheOrc]

Personally, I hate the armor/coat he wore at the black gate... it just didn't feel like the same aragorn as the rest of the movies to me. (which is why I am making this mod anyway...to get rid of that model/skin) So I definately won't include it in the mod.

I understand your reasoning about the coronation armor being only for ceremonial uses, and since I haven't yet figured out a way to create a toggle between coronation armor and ranger armor, I will leave him as just a ranger for the time being. Though I might release another small mod with him in the coronation armor for anyone who wants it.

-GothmogtheOrc

[|MeMw|Murazor]

If you can't make him to have a toggle between the two armours i think you should have him to have only the coronation armour.

[Cobra]

Just Do the upgrade idea make him start as ranger and make an upgrade his coronation armour or otherwise just think up something new

[GothmogtheOrc]

lol, it's not that easy... but I'll see what I can do

-GothmogtheOrc

[Cobra]

ok but cant you sort of change the skin like fade out and then fade in as a new skin entirely?

[Boy_suicide]

Yes, you can set a new upgrade, something like +30 armor and set it a new skin. =)

[GothmogtheOrc]

True, but the problem is that each skin is a completely new model...and I haven't had time to mess around with getting a third (or forth or whatever number I'm at now) modelconditionstate to read and work in-game.

The armor upgrade won't work for what I'm doing...

fair enuf leave it as coronation then
