In here I will post updates listing what I've completed that day. And I have a question for you: Should this be locked so that each update is in order, or open for comments?

------

2/2/07

New TEA Theoden, legolas, pippin, and eowyn skins/models working in-game.

Theoden's new powers working (as always...not final until tested):
-Now for Wrath (Blademaster) *new FX comming hopefully
-New leadership: +150% Damage, +50% Armor, +200% Exp, +100 Resist Fear
-King's Favor power now gives 150 XP instead of 50

Legolas should be finished except for a tweak here or there.

Eowyn, Eomer, Merry and Pippin are the next to be worked on.

Dude, what kind of questions was that? You can't lock out your community
Let them have their freedom of speech.

what he said

[Hot!c3 II]

Heh heh i think Gothmogtheorc can do anything he wants in his forums,
even ask dum questions.

Just vote on the dum poll.

If he closes it i can talk to him to let it be open.

(or i can just open it)

[Phil]

Easy there, pal. I think I know GTO well enough to be allowed to make nasty comments
He won't mind.. or at least I hope he doesnt

Oh my bad,
Thought you were more serious than what you were.

lol

Of course I don't mind

I asked because sometimes it's hard to read long update threads where people are spamming/commenting alot. But if you guys want it open then I'll leave it open.

And please keep the down

[Lauri]

I'll watch the thread for that I'm a moderator here you know

gah, gimme something to do punk! Just one thing! please! no buildings please

[zimoo]

You could have 2 threads open. One for the updates, one for discussion.

I put the TEA Gimli model in-game and got most of Eomer's code working... but there was a game.dat error that I haven't fixed yet. I think it has something to do with a special power mis-spelling

I also put lauri incharge of making a new WitchKing, a nicer cooler WK with a bigger bounding box and a few other surprises.

Also, my internet is acting up so I won't be on much until it is fixed.

-GothmogtheOrc

[Lauri]

GtO..... when I opened WK's model, I noticed the thing about BoundingBox... he doesn't have one that's why he was such a bitch! but I'm finished with him, but I'll probably change him if you want me too

not commenting about the newspost, more about the poll itself.

I do agree that it's annoying to have to scroll down A LOT because some of our members are trigger happy
But it's part of every community to comment on everything (part of the whole Web 2.0 hype).


Two possible options to combine the best of both worlds.
- Edit the first post every time you post a news.
* pros : all news summed up and easy to read. commenting allowed.
* cons : hard to see when an update is posted, since you're not adding a new post in the forum.

- Make two separate topics : one for updates, one for discussion of updates.
* pros : news easy to read, and notification every time you post in the news topic.
* cons : some misunderstandings may be caused when people comment on different news.

[GothmogtheOrc]

I'll just leave it open. It's easier and allows for better discusions anyway.

On another note, my internet has been down for the last four days or so (seems longer) and that's why I haven't been on. I don't have any new progress to report as I've also been busy with some stuff for school and trying to get caught up on sleep (not quite there yet ). I might do some modding late Fri or Sat... otherwise I'm busy the next week or so.

[Lauri]

btw, have you lost MSN? cause I don't wanna send you pics of the new WK on PMs

guess I'll have too

2/11/07

I spent over an hour today trying to get Eomer working, but there's a nasty game.dat error that I can't find the solution to. It's not in his code, but rather something that refers to it like an upgrade or special power I think...

-GothmogtheOrc

[Lauri]

Something like this happened in Expansions too.... it was when the AI buildt Eomer or something... might have a chat with Flame

[GothmogtheOrc]

2-15-07

Well no luck with Eomer... looks like I'll be making a totally new copy of eomer with a different name.

Good news though: I've made a new Morgul Citadel



What do you think?

EDIT: Pic makes it look smaller then it really is...

[ched]

yeah the perspective makes it look really small, but I like the work on the FX.

What is that sort of crown at the top ? The WK's residence ?

[zimoo]

Looks great, although I'm personally not keen on the FX (don't get me wrong, it's a good FX, but I strongly dislike the colour PJ used for it)

[GothmogtheOrc]

Yeah, PJ's Morgul is definately different then Tolkien's morgul, but I think both are cool and both accomplish their purpose.

What is that sort of crown at the top ? The WK's residence ?

That would make sense. Though I don't think tolkien ever described the city or the tower in more then passing detail. And in any event, I just made the model look like PJ's tower.
