Epic fail.

[Beleg]

Aren't you meant to check what's already in the mod first?
I know which one I prefer...

Yeah,
I decided that the gondor soldier was the BFME+ image that when most people see it, they think of how that mod was good before it was cancelled then it was a good idea that never went anywhere. I wanted to erase that image with a new one to start off the new era of the mod. That one may be prefered, I just wanted to show that we are here to make this mod a good mod, not a mod that was a good idea. We can reskin it again later.

Epic fail.

Thanks
That's all I get for my work

Well, it does seem kinda weird that you redo stuff that already has been done (and has been done well, IMO). I won't interfere with your decisions, but if you want to redo the stuff, where's the point in taking a cancelled mod and continuing it? Why not just start a new one then?

[Mathijs]

I decided that the gondor soldier was the BFME+ image that when most people see it, they think of how that mod was good before it was cancelled then it was a good idea that never went anywhere.

That one may be prefered, I just wanted to show that we are here to make this mod a good mod, not a mod that was a good idea. We can reskin it again later.

So, you decided to redo (for the worse) some old BfME+ skin because people might associate it with the old BfME+?

You realise that the old BfME+ actually had a reputation for quality, and you want to get rid of that kickstart by redoing the stuff that earned them their reputation? Work on expanding the mod, not redoing things that are perfectly fine.

Epic fail.

DLotS and Matias,

You guys are absolutely right. I wanted to get something done so I rushed and the first thing I did was reskin the soldier. It was a bad mistake on my part. I just need ideas on what to do next. I'm working right now alone on this mod and I just can't think of what I should do next. I kinda just wanted to get some work done on this mod too.

I should probably stick to fixing the bugs in what the guys have now. release a beta, and then think about what I should do next whether that is new units, factions, or campaign.

Thank You guys for bringing me back too the real world. As of now, we are reverting back to the old (better)soldier that cahik did and leaving it alone.

Thank You,
Beleg

You're welcome.

Well, as far as I remember there was plenty of stuff left to do coding-wise, I didn't stop coding with everything finished. If you go and check out the files there might also be some models that are not coded or simply not available in the code yet (thinking about Nightmare's latest set of stuff, like the Mirkwood Spearmen here). If they are not in the Big file, I might still have them on my other computer...

Cleaning up things, balancing, there is a lot one can do without adding fancy new stuff. Doing any of these and releasing it again could possibly also increase interest again.

[m@tt]

Yes, first thing you should do is work out what is coded and what isn't coded. Make a list of what needs to be put in game, plus any other big fixes. Just set out an action plan and don't worry about brand new stuff or recruiting people.

Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm sneaking in a spare moment on the computer really late at night. Hope I don't wake my mom up.

Anyway, I have completed a whole bunch of concept art but am waiting for the time when I will be able to post it. It includes mainly heroes but I'm hoping to also get in a couple concepts of a one new dwarven unit(dwarven axethrowers...) I have in mind and one / two other new units I have in mind (I'll have to think about it).

To Beleg, I was wondering if you have recruited any people besides yourself for the mod. Obviously, you're going to need some help, and as I am currently inactive (I hope not for much longer) you might need to find a few other people. (For everyone else, if you're interested, please post in the Jobs section, obviously).

To Anendor

No I have not yet. So far its just me and you (mostly me right now ). If anyone is interested PM me.

Please post your concept art soon

(*hint* im coding in something as we speak, its going to be a surprise)
(*hint* i didn't skin it, Cahik did a long time ago, it just hasn't been in game )

[Anendor]

sounds interesting

i'll look into recruiting people

concepts will be up ASAP

[Beleg]

Does everyone remember the Citadel Guards that never made it coded in?

Well here they are



I decided to do something unique with these guys. They now come out of the archery range in groups of four. They are single units and are no attached to each other in hordes. They are like mini-heros. They can switch weapons and they provide leadership to other units



Here they are spread out around the fortress



Here is one alone



Imrahil and the elite Guard of the Citadel

Well, we should have another interesting update by Anendor soon

Tell me what you think of the new concept of mini heros for BFME+

EDIT: Fixed images

Edited by Beleg, 27 October 2007 - 04:03 PM.

[m@tt]

please can you sort out the code so we can view the images without having to download them? Imageshack can give you a thumbnail code to use which is much easier.

[Beleg]

Fixed

[Guess Who]

Here is what you should do first.
1. Balance everything.
2. Add all the stuff that wasn't added.
3. Balance that.
4. Start making what the team planned.
5. Then you can add whatever.
That way you will get more respect as modders, then people may join.
And remember K.I.S.S.

What?
Are we looking at the same forum?

[m@tt]

I doubt it. He's just trying to sound authoritative.

Btw, a tip for the future - stick the graphics up in-game, even if its just for screenshot purposes.

[Beleg]

authoritative

thanks for the tip
Will do it next time
