Which heroes will be able to have hobbits on their horses?
[/quote]

Imo it should be like the movies: Pippin w/ Gandalf and Merry w/ Eowyn. There weren't any other instances with Frodo or Sam or anything. And hobbits would still be able to attack when on the horse!

[Celeglin]

I will probably add a passenger bone to Eowyn. I really want her to be able to join up with Merry.

[Hearach]

And about Gandalf and Pippin.
I think that would look quite cool if Pippin was actually in front of Gandalf on Shadowfax

If you want it to instantly go to around 20-30 pages in a matter of days, filled mostly with garbage and nosensical ideas, the odd good idea here and there, and put more on Celeglins table to read, then why not? Nah, not a good idea. We might as well use the IRC Channel.

I think that only Gandalf and Eowyn should be able to ride with hobbits. And only with Marry or Pippin.

[Celeglin]

Gandalf, Eowyn, Eomer, and Faramir will all be able to ride with the hobbits because they either had strong ties with (a) hobbit(s) or rode with one in the books/films.

i wish they could do it too, but this might cause balance problems and i dont know how hard it would be to do

[Olorin]

I don't think that it would cause balance issues, but getting them to do it would be very hard, maybe even impossible.

[zimoo]

Not impossible, Deezire did it.

[adummy]

Not impossible, Deezire did it.

not making them mount, making them attack. if i remember right, the hobbits couldnt attack when on horses/treebeard

[zimoo]

He had them attacking from horseback if my memory serves me correctly.

[Ecthelion]

Yep, he did

[Lauri]

yes, but the animations could prove alot harder.... the coding part is easy though (if my memory is correct)

[zimoo]

Well if my memory serves me correctly, they use the same attack anims when passengers as they do when attacking normally.

Hobbits throwing rocks from other heroes horses looks great, and I think Deezire did it entirely through coding.

[Lauri]

ahh, if that's correct zimoo, there is nothing to be worried about

[Hearach]

Umm, but with same anims, won't it look like their throwing it at the rock at the riders head

[Olorin]

Well you guys certainly proved me wrong . It's probably better if they attack with a sword intead of a rock; if you think about it realistically, an enemy is trying to pull you off the horse and you have a sword and a rock at your disposal. What's going to be more effective?

[zimoo]

A rock of course, atleast if you're a hobbit

[Celeglin]

It's probably better if they attack with a sword intead of a rock

Agreed. However, I'm about 90% certain there are no sword attack anims for hobbits on horses. I could try making some though...

[Lauri]

shouldn't be to hard... I mean, you can just mix a mounted one with an attackmove
