they are unfair i think.

Where has the glory of the Elves gone? In BFME1 they were the strongest unit available to any faction, but now look at them

Hey Feanor, your a skinner and modeler right? have you read my newest post?

yeh I am but whats your point

I wanted to have Gondor in BFME2 to get new skins as they are in the Absinith mod for BFME1 or just have the default campaign color as it is in BFME1.

This should be moved into BFME 2 modding.

Anyways, what you do is this: Go into gamedata.ini

Search for 'HouseColor'

Then, when you find this: 'EnableHouseColor = Yes'

Make it say: 'EnableHouseColor = No'

What happens if the startup crashes?

[Mullers_11]

Change it back to what it was.

How do i move it? Sorry then.

[Master Windu]

You can't move it, but a mod or admin can.

And also, it shouldnt crash. Works perfectly fine for me. I've even modified the original ini.big to have that in gamedata, so house colors are always disabled. Are you sure you didnt add anything, just changed the = Yes to = No

Well I cant find the gamedata.ini in my BFME directory because I think that is just a part of the whole ini.big file (acoording to a downloaded mod i had lying around in my documents). It had an ini folder with a lot of game info in it. Mabye thats why its called ini.big.

When I did change the housecolor info in the ini.big but it crashed with that microsoft visual c++ codec I posted.

[Sorry if this is a hassle for u Celegin].

[Lauri]

Um, wasn't this a question to Celeglin?? The BFME2 elves are not to good

Anyways, your gamedata.ini is in your ini.big file... data/ini/gamedata.ini to be more precise

[Hot!c3 II]

the elves are mest up

My first impression of EA's Elven faction was "Woah... those units are a lot like mine." You know, mounted Rivendell troops, Havens units with spears. But since I've found the differences to be large enough for me not to worry.

Art wise, EA did a fairly good job with the Elves, with some exceptions. Arwen and Elrond, of course, look fantastic, as well as the Rivendell unit itself. Mithlond units have some nice elements, but the bare arms annoy me. Same with the Mirkwood archers. Un-upgraded Lorien units are nice, but their multicoloured upgrades are incredibly bleh. Glorfindel... Nrr. Don't get me started on the white hair. I dislike asymetrical armour that is as it is simply because it can be, so Thranduil is a no (though the face has a great family resemblance to Legolas). Haldir... They could have upped the quality a good deal there. I've never seen Galadriel, so I can't comment there. Architecture is lovely.

Gameplay wise, I honestly can't say, as I don't own the game and don't plan on ever buying it. From what I've seen, Glorfindel is thoroughly dissappointing.

I won't compare my Elven faction to EA's.

[Olorin]

I seriously doubt that EA even read the books to know what Glorfindel was really about. Firstly, he shouldn't be able to heal other units; secondly he should have more damage and should have some destructive powers seeing as he was stronger than Elrond; and what is the deal with the silver armour and the white hair? I don't ever remember reading about Glorfindel having silver armour, and it specifically states in the books that he had gold hair. But apart from that I don't mind the Elven faction in BFME2, although your units are far better and more detailed than EA's; they actually fit in with the story line.

[adummy]

well since ive never read in detail the works of tolkien, the white hair was the least thing that bothered me. seeing how all of their heros are so powerful and can kill anything is what bothered me.
