this is the rohancavalry.ini (it's located in object>goodfaction>units>rohan ) -

hopefully that's it. It's possible I might have missed something, but I don't think I have. Hopefully you can do something with that code I posted.
You may find some extra armour/forgedblade/firearrow data in there, if that's the case just take what you do need...I merely copied relevant stuff on Rohirrim and Rohan units...some of it may not fit in with how your mod works.
Good luck.

[Nazgûl]

Many thanks... but no, I cant get them to shoot while moving. Too bad! I will ad this one to the list of desired future fixes though...

Moving on...
--------------
I've added the hobbit work pit as DwarvenWorkPit (called "diamond mine" in game (in my mod)) by using that model with the dwarven mine shaft object, and some alterations... But, how can I remove the garrisonable function from this object? I removed the code from KindOf, but that was not enough?

[BigRedKane]

I could be wrong about what I'm about to voice as the theory behind the garrison, but I'll share my thoughts on what I found and what I believe might help you deal with the garrison.

In the battle tower and mineshaft object code (ie. dwarvenmineshaft.ini) I noticed code like this quite far down -

[codebox]
Behavior = TunnelContain ModuleTag_Contain
ObjectStatusOfContained = UNSELECTABLE ENCLOSED
ContainMax = 5
DamagePercentToUnits = 0%
PassengerFilter = ANY +INFANTRY +BANNER +CAVALRY -MONSTER -SUMMONED -COMBO_HORDE
AllowEnemiesInside = No
AllowAlliesInside = No
AllowNeutralInside = No
AllowOwnPlayerInsideOverride = Yes
NumberOfExitPaths = 1 // Defaults to 1. Set 0 to not use ExitStart/ExitEnd, set higher than 1 to use ExitStart01-nn/ExitEnd01-nn
PassengerBonePrefix = PassengerBone:ARROW_ KindOf:INFANTRY
EntryPosition = X:0.0 Y:0.0 Z:0.0
EntryOffset = X:80.0 Y:0.0 Z:0.0
ExitOffset = X:100.0 Y:0.0 Z:0.0
EnterSound = RuinedTowerEnterSound
KillPassengersOnDeath = No
ShowPips = No
ExitDelay = 0
End
[/codebox]

I believe that code controls the garrison behaviour of the object in question, removing such code from any object should, in theroy, render garrisoning it impossible.
Kindof only dictates certain global settings such as if a unit or object is scary or what type of object it is.
Garrison should be viewed more akin to a power or upgrade with relevant code and behaviour enteries.
As such you might wish to also check the commandbutton.ini, commandset.ini and any other normally relevant files where powers/upgrades might be found. (I know there's definately Garrison in the dwarvenmineshaft command set).
For now I'm tired...so I'll go and catch some zzz's....heh.
Hope this info helped tho.

[Nazgûl]

Perfect! Thank you...
Here we go - the new Dwarven diamond mine!
Big radius... expensive... weak... but gives 200 extra CP and 500 cash/min!
Suits the dwarves perfectly!!!

[Lauri]

nice model too! Never seen it before if it's already in-game

[Nazgûl]

Hehe it's a hidden structure that EA decided to scrap for some unknown reason... Actually it's called HobbitWorkPit, but I've always considered the Hobbits to be primarily gardeners, and mining should be dwarven business. Besides, in my mod, I've done a lot of stuff for Men, Mordor, Elves and Isengard. Dwarves needed something new too... which leaves the Goblins as the only faction I haven't really messed with. But I find them pretty complete as they are though. This mine is a nice addition to the dwarves and ads to the feeling of them beeing "at work" most of the time. Building a mine or two of this sort and keeping them safe to gain lots of cash should be a fun

Now, moving on again...

Adding GOTHMOG to Mordor!
Mordor needs an early game hero of "weaker" sort, compared to the nine Nazguls I have (inc WK) and Mouth of Sauron, whom are all pretty powerful and exensive... I need a Gothmog that can:
1) mount Warg, 2) have carnage 3) have leadership. That's enough. Does anyone know where I could find that? I know how to make images and buttons from scratch, so mostly I just need a working ini for Gothmog with these powers or similar... Perhaps someone could share that with me?

[BigRedKane]

Pleased the code helped....

You really really should get hold of the BFME The War mod. Even if you don't plan on useing it for gameing, it has a hell of a lot of useful code in there which releases hidden units and structures and adds the relevant code, thus saving time.
Since the site appears to be down though I have no idea where you would get it. I guess I can offer to send it via msn if you have msn messenger. It would be a lot quicker than me digging up code bits and posting them...lol.

There's a Gothmog in BFME The War...and he can ride a warg, I can't remember his other powers other than I believe he had leadership.
Gothmog has his own model...so he's another hidden. Unfortunately I beleive he uses Sharku's and Lurtz's sounds(depending on if he's mounted or on foot), but it don't look too shabby and works well.

Let me know if your interested in the msn thing.

Edit : I always thought the Hobbit Work Pit wasn't exactly a work pit (for the reason you described) but a tunnel that lead to an underground vault where they kept their food and other valuables. Bareing in mind their homes are, technically, underground I figured this to be a plausible reason for the vault. And the appearance of a work pit would throw strangers off the scent as to what was really down there....heh. I also find it ridiculous that they'd be cowering round the work pit in The Scouring of The Shire ending cut scene in the Evil Campaign....why would the remaining Hobbits be found there?....must be something important there.
They certainly seemed to be doing a lot of "oh nooo" and holding their arms and stuff like they didn't want to give something up too readily.
I agree that the work pit looks cool with the dwarves as well tho....nice screen shot.

Edited by BigRedKane, 25 January 2007 - 08:14 PM.

[Nazgûl]

Thanks man I get pretty nice screens with all the stuff on maximum settings... Hehe, its nice to have a bad ass graphics card

And yeah, what I'm trying to do with my mod is adapt the game after the movies in terms of look and feel. And nowhere in the movie could I see anything resebling that work pit, for the hobbits. On the other hand, the only dwarf beeing visible in the movies is Gimli, but with any reference to them living in the lonely mountain and beeing miners, who would be better suited to have an aditional mine like that, then the dwarves

About Gothmog - yes I know theres a hidden model inside BFME2 as well, but I beleive hi's pretty much incomplete without any powers at all. So there's not much use adding him, since I suck at adding powers (I had HELL with the mount toggle of the 9 riders). Using TheWar could be an option. I have the mod on my drive, but I haven't tried it yet (to Zen's big disapointment *lol*), but from what I gather that unit is pretty incomplete to, but perhaps it's mostly sounds missing. I'll ask him...

However - with the lame looking add on RotWK (sorry, but the screen shots suck - whats with that big white wolf a´la "Black & White"?) isn't Gothmog a part of that add on? Perhaps I should get it just for that sake? *lol* Can anyone confirm him beeing in that add on? Is there a list of everything that comes with RotWK?

Edited by Nazgûl, 25 January 2007 - 09:17 PM.

[Lauri]

He's on it but you shouldn't add him, or.... I don't really know about BFME2--RotWK stuff beeing added, legally....

[BigRedKane]

Yeah...I like the graphics on max too. Adds so much to the feel of the game. (I got an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS OC with 512 Mb DDR 2 ram). I much prefer the graphics of the Fellowship on the boats passing the statues on the high setting as well....looks awesome...heh.

Zen's Gothmog mod isn't too bad....the sounds would have been missing, but he added sounds from other units, so at least Gothmog has "some" sounds to round him off. And he does have powers, these are -
1)Toggle Mounted
2)Arrow Volley
3)Earth Shaker lvl 3
4)Beserker Rage lvl 4
5)Army Summon

I prefer useing Gothmog on foot from Zen's mod tho since he looks/sounds really mean with Lurtz's voice...heh. I might mod the mounted one with Lurtz's voice at some point...Sharku is too wimpy sounding for Gothmog....lol.

[Nazgûl]

7600... cool, that means that I could use a card like that for my second computer (which my firend uses for LAN). I have a 7900GTX and that computer only has a 4900 which does not suppport Directx9c with all the shaders and stuff, but I guess 7600 do? Nice!

He's on it but you shouldn't add him, or.... I don't really know about BFME2--RotWK stuff beeing added, legally....

Legally? Come again? You mean it would be illegal to ad something from RotWK to a BFME2 mod?

[BigRedKane]

Just make sure if you get an Nvidia card you goto their site and get the latest divers and stuff, it's in a set of things called ForceWare...just navigate through Download Drivers>Graphics Drivers>choose your card type and operating system....current Forceware version I believe is 93.71. It also comes with a neat Nalu The Mermaid demo...heh. Make sure you switch off things like the desktop manager (NView)...that caused probs for me...so dunno what effect it'd have on your system.
Also make sure you get the american (U.S.) version of their ForceWare....altho I'm in the UK I tried that one and it didn't recognise my card...the U.S. one did though...lol..
You also might like to take a look at bfggaming.com from time to time.

My card (with the above driver support installed) supports directx 9.0c, yes.

I wouldn't have thought that adding units from ROTWK to BFME 2 would be illeagal provided you bought/owned a copy of both BFME 2 and the ROTWK expansion pack...that would just be silly...lol.
And asking for a list of what ROTWK adds to BFME 2 is just common sense....that's not asking for a free copy of the expansion...it's asking for what's IN the expansion in list form (ie new units and stuff), if EA can't provide that then maybe they need a new marketing team...lol...

[Nazgûl]

Yes, for Gods sake... I'm mister honest himself! Beeing an ex-security guard for 5 years and almost going for a career within the police *lol* I DO own the BFME2 original off course (Collector's Edition) and I never use pirate stuff. Partially cause I wanna support the industy, and partially cause crackes games usually f-ck up your system with bugs and sh-t. Thats not for me... The reason I asked is simply cause I wanna know if it's worth bying that expansion, cause judging on the package it looks like crap. EA's losing it... But a working Gothmog and maybe some other goodies (be what ever I might wanna use) can hardly be illegal as long as I own both products? Or did you mean that my mod would be "illegal" cause it would bring stuff the BFME2 owners that don't have RotWK? Lauri? I'm confused?

And as far as EA go thay need a LOT of new stuff... competent personel beeing one *lol* The BFME-series is simply a scam, and I guess that's why there's so many good modders out there that have learned to take a pile of dog pooh like this game and make it into a work of art... mohehe

Edited by Nazgûl, 26 January 2007 - 12:10 AM.

[BigRedKane]

lol...I wouldn't go so far as to say the game is "dog pooh"...lol. It could do with some "enhancements" though....such as a better Create-A-Hero, seperate Custom Hero creator (app window with drop down windows for unpacked ini modding etc), seperate Faction Creator (similar to Custom Hero app) that sort of thing.

They also need a better map maker...World Builder looks so...unfinnished...lol. (I prefferred the map maker for Star Wars Galactic Battle Grounds, it was so easy to create a good map on that and your own campaigns...and look at how old that is now....still beats World Builder hands down...heh).

Aside from that I do like the emotions characters have in BFME 2 and the graphics and other bells and whistles....without the game we wouldn't have anything to mod in the first place, and they did a fairly good job with the layout of the code. I've tried modding some other games and they're pretty impossible to mod for without 5 thousand apps and a degree in programming...lol. This is a pretty easy game to mod, to an extent.

I believe your mod would be illeagal useing ROTWK content IF you re-distributed any of the content from ROTWK so other BFME 2 players could play your mod without the ROTWK expansion, such mods are best kept as private.
However, I doubt it'd be illeagal if your mod merely referenced material from ROTWK in an ini file so the player useing it must have ROTWK installed.
I reckon it's pretty much common sense.

Haven't you found any further information on ROTWK on EA's official site for it?....when I was there some time ago there was quite a few pics and movie clips and stuff....some of the new Create-A-Hero options for ROTWK look pretty cool (ie can now give wizards that "Gandalf" look and several Troll types etc)...I also liked the Witch King's new armour and horse.

[Nazgûl]

Hehe we're slipping from the topic here but before I get back to it...

I will probably get the expansion today and set the mod up for expansion demand then... cause I really want a working Gothmog in game. The bad part of it is that I do think the original game sucks because of a numbur of reasons I have stated in the ReadMe. Mostly because of 1) Graphics and EA:s missleading advertising 2) Balance 3) Game not looking like the movies despite them having the rights to use it...

The expansion looks even LESS like the movies with that big white wolf for one, and units and colors that look more like a whole new universe. Almost sci-fi? I'm a movie buff, and my mod is all about catching that fantasy spirit and look of the movies. It I have to buy the expansion and set the mod up to needing that, just to get Gothmog I guess Im gonna have to. But I still think EA:s take on this whole licence is greatly underpowered from what it could have been... Thats where this mod comes in!

*going to game store*



>>> Btw: I tried Zens mod yesterday: TheWar and i could NOT get the Rohirrim to shoot whilst moving (riding)??? Are you SURE your version of TheWar has Rohirrim shooting arrows while riding??? :o

Edited by Nazgûl, 26 January 2007 - 01:49 PM.

[adummy]

its illegal to bring anything from ROTWK into BFME2 that is not already into BFME2. Also the dwarves mine shaft that you are using now is from the evil campaign in BFME2. after you beat the level "The Scouring of the Shire" and go to the movie, it shows the goblins hanging hobbits on that. why the goblins are wasting their time to hang a f*cking hobbit is beyond me.

Edited by adummy, 27 January 2007 - 11:17 AM.

[Nazgûl]

Ehm, pardon me... but can we drop the f-ing illegal bull crap? I just stated that I was going to (and I have) buy the expansion and SET THE MOD OF FOR THAT! That means that this mod will (as it looks for the moment) require the expansion to run! IN other words, I have bought it, and the users of this mod will have to buy it to, if I dont alter back (since I hate the menus for one, and have trouble getting the setup buttons to look ok, but thats another issue). So how in the name of jeez can it be illegal to mod the game with items back and forth as long as it will require both game and expansion?

Besides, Ive seen a number of well knows mods out there that obviously have used items from RotWK, without setting the demand to have the expansion (I recognized several items when I first tried the expansion yesterday). Having said that, I still opt for this mod using the expansion as a prerequisite (how ever you spell that) in order to run. That can in NO WAY be illegal and I think EA couldn't care less how me mod the game as long as the get to sell their stuff?




As for the work pit... I guess that was just a personal thought about gameplay, and I agree... I just think the pit looks 10 times better as a dwarven mine. Or did you mean it is illegal to use something from the hobbits for the dwarves?

Most of EA's 'new content' (aside from the Angmar stuff) was already ingame.

[Athem]

where can i download your mod?

[zimoo]

It's not out yet.
