I also had a chance to spend the afternoon discussing idea's with adummy and Lauri... as a result I got the spell trees completely figured out and several other things which are rather secret still Unfortunately that meant I didn't do much modding

whys SHagrat an Orc when his supposed to be a Uruk-Hai?
Because PJ somehow got the two confused or they read the wrong lines when filming... in any event there was a mistake in the film. Shagrat should be the orc and gorbag should be the uruk.
I was actually reading that chapter of the book on saturday and I was able to write down the page number and refresh my memory on the subject... on page 721 of TTT "The Choices of Master Samwise" Gorbag says the following to Shagrat:
Always the poor Uruks to put slips right...
This means that atleast one of them is an uruk and the way it is said suggests that gorbag is an uruk since that saying implies that the speaker is part of the group mentioned. It doesn't say whether shagrat is an uruk or not, and the rest of the chapter uses Orcs and Uruks interchangably when talking about the two groups (shagrat's tower people and gorbag's uruks from morgul).
Interestingly if you watch the scene in the movie (which I am doing as I write this ), shagrat's book lines are almost all said by the orc... The part about everything going to the great eye was Shagrat in the book... the orc coming back to frodo after the fight was shagrat in the book (and the orc in the movie)... the movie orc is more familiar with Shelob and explains to the uruk what she does, suggesting that the orc lives in the tower and deals with shelob more often (shagrat)... the orc is also the one who orders his troops "Get him [frodo] to the tower!" a command that the commander of the tower (shagrat) would say. The only problem with PJ's film is that the uruk says "I don't take orders from stickin morgul rats". They NEVER actually say their names in the movie... it's that one line that created all this mess.
So, what I decided was that because PJ showed us two orcs, one an uruk and one an orc, was that shagrat should be the orc and gorbag must be the uruk.
I could be wrong, but this is the view I've taken as it makes the most sense to me. And my ideas + my mod = shagrat an orc.
If someone else has a different view on it and can back it up I might change it.

I want to tell you all about it, but it isn't fully working yet... plus it will make a cool surprise. Please no guessing as I won't give away the answer untill it works. As far as I know it hasn't been done before in bfme1 mods. I'm hopeful I can make it work, but I honestly don't know.
I'll tell you all about it as soon as I get it working. Hopefully within the next few days.

Uruk means orc Uruk-Hai means Orc-People and most of the Orcs speaks The Black Speech.

Meh, as there isn't any solid evidence either way I'm just going to keep them as they are. Shagrat an orc and gorbag an uruk.

Unfortunately I don't have any progress to report... I've been doing alot of time consuming testing that hasn't worked. My idea is at stage two of maybe 4 or 5. Stage one was a huge hurdle to cross but two and three are just as big if not bigger so we'll see... I still need to play around with it some more and see if I can find the settings I need to make stage 2 work. I still have hope that it will work and that there is just a small detail that needs to be fixed for it to work.
