Man those colours are intense. Are they so noticeable when zoomed out?

[Lauri]

they look pretty good, but maybe desaturate the colors their pretty bright..

[Pixel]

Desaturate them, They are a little to shiny. They nice though

[Rob38]

Sorry about the confusion, but the light settings are not what they are in my map. I just did that so you could see some of the details better. So here are the proper pictures in the correct light settings for my map:

Close up regular armor


Normal view regular armor


Close up upgraded armor


Normal view upgraded armor


Do you still think the colors need to be toned down more? I'll make sure to post all my pictures now on in the correct light settings.

[Lauri]

well, they do look alot better now

but now I don't really know if you need to desaturate them... their fine IMO

[D_bershevits]

Yes, they look very nice, maybe make it more of a movie skin.

[Pixel]

They look alot better in them screens. Good job

maybe make it more of a movie skin.

How can they be anymore like the movies version?

[D_bershevits]

Well they have a different style helmet, and a long black cape.

@ D_bershevits True, but you would have to edit the model for that. And remember, you can't make a model too detailed, so I think the cape and better helmet would somewhat be a distraction. I'm pretty satisfied with how the Elven Warriors turned out overall. The skin took a long time to get it to look like the armor they wore in the battle.

@ guest Well, my goal is to have it completely finished by some time in August. Of course, that is subject to change depending on how much free time I have to work on it. Keep checking back to see the progress of my mod.

Well, I have a small problem that I need your input on. You see in ROTWK, there are quite a few models that I would like to use for my map mod ( rohan spearmen, uruk deathbringers, wildmen axethrowers, warg pack, etc...) Now the problem is that I know that there are some people that don't have ROTWK but still want to play my map mod. So what should I do? I can't really create two identical versions of the map mod because that would create a problem with balancing gameplay. At the same time, I don't think it's legal to take ROTWK models and put it in my map mod if it's for BFME2. So right now, I'm debating what I should do. I need your guys feedback so that I can make the right decision for this crucial stage of my map mod. Would people mind if maybe I do create two versions, but the BFME2 version having less since some of the models from ROTWK can't be used in it? Let me know what you all think about this.

[IthronAiwendil]

I think it should only be for RotWK

[zimoo]

Spearmen - easy to make, plus anything you could make would be higher quality than EAs
Deathbringers - They're just CAH, nothing ilegal about keeping them
Wildmen Axethrowers - Oh god...
Warg pack - Just the same old warg creeps we've been slaughtering since BFME1

[IthronAiwendil]

The Wargs have a new animation in RotWK

[cahik_]

no new anims for wargs in RotW.

uruk captains would fit better then deathbringers IMO

[IthronAiwendil]

Oh I thought they had new anims in RotWK... But I guess I was wrong. And btw, I think Uruk Deathbringers look terrible, they're one of EA's worst creations...

[D_bershevits]

I argee make it for rotwk

[Lauri]

I disagree, make it for BFME2, then make it for RotWK, cause it should be easier

and I don't have RotWK atm... gotta get it though.... bog...

[Rob38]

Well, it seems that there are some diferent opinions right now. The warg pack won't be a problem making it for bfme2, and I'll probably change the deathbringers with my own CAH model. For the rohan spearmen, I'm thinking of using the haradrim lancer model with a new texture. And for the wildmen axethrowers, I thining of using the corsairs of umbar model with a new texture. So, since it's looking like I'll be able to just make one version of this map mod that will work with or without the expansion, I have one last question about this. Which ini files would I use for the mod to run with or without ROTWK? Do I use the ROTWK files or do I use the BFME2 files?

[Lauri]

BFME2 imo...
