I do it with pleasure !

[Mordor Slayer]

Maybe a nice idea for this weeks update: how about we (the betatesters) take some screens of the private beta and post some in the 'October 7th updates' topic? Naz can do the choosing and I'll post them there =).

[Sûlherokhh]

Sweet!

[Nazgûl]

I'm ALL for that

I know you guys can't read it, I just want to prove I'm doig something

[Mordor Slayer]

Great, as I already said in the private forum =). Our cooperated marketing will have fantastic results, I'm sure!

[Lord of Mordor]

People at the german site are quite enthusiastic about the mod, yes The screens really speak for themselves

How did you insert the LoTR fonts? You just used an image for that? I tried typing something in Elvish in Word, then copying it to the forum, but the it can't be identified...

[Sûlherokhh]

Must use font in ps. Make jpg/png/gif. Upload. Use pic.

[Mordor Slayer]

And how do you insert/use it in Photoshop? I'm a total PS n00b .

[Sûlherokhh]

1. Plug in the Font you want to use, either using windows font installer or put it manually in 'C:\WINDOWS\Fonts'

2. Open PS.

3. Open any file

4. Choose 'Windows - Symbols' (only have german equivalents so experiment). It now shows a small window for editing/resizing text, etc.

5. Click on the Text option of the Toolbar.

Now you can write in any font you choose. Should you choose a Font like Tengwar or Cirth, you should also read the documentation for finding the right symbols and keys. Also you may want to know what exactly all of this means.

Here is a link for all of that: Ardalambion

Think I'm gonna write something comprehensible? I'm just gonna write some random letters to give a LotR feeling to the update XD!

[Sûlherokhh]

Nooooooo, please don't!


We should use something sensible. Like in my Avatar.

It says (in Tengwar - Sindarin Lettering):

ElvenstarTeam

If you have a font you want to use, send over the psd. I'll concoct something that actually means something.

Ok . Something like "One mod to rule them all"?

[Sûlherokhh]

Yay. It will be Tengwar-English of course, since i don't know the Sindarin words for that. Only the DarkSpeech 'Nazg' for Ring.

What's 'Mod' in Sindarin?

[Mordor Slayer]

Or maybe try "One mod to rule them all, one mod to rule them all, one mod to find them, one mod to bring them all... And in the darkness bind them.
Is Tengwar the same font as in your avatar?

Edit: can you post it in 1-2 hours? It's already 9 PM here =).

[Sûlherokhh]

My avatar use one of billions of different tenwar fonts, but yes, it's tengwar (the flowing style)

the rune style the dwarves use is certhas moria or another cirth script

I got your PM MS, but I've been busy all day and night I'm afraid... :/ So I can't help you right now :/

About a slogan - My primary slogan is "I S.E.E. YOU", and it's even spoken in the game, hehe. But about that "Rule them all" one... I'm not sure about that. It feels a bit too cocky (towards other mods) and obvious (I'se seen ideas about that before, even a "mod" with that name) =p

I'd suggest:
"S.E.E. Middle Earth the way it's supposed to be", or
"S.E.E. Middle Earth in Peter Jackson style", so something like that...

*too tired to think atm*

[Sûlherokhh]

We'll come up with something. In the meantime MS, why don't you use the deviders from the german NewsPost?

Finding the right Tengwar (letters) to best represent the sounds made when speaking every single part of the Slogan will take some time, anyway.

[Mordor Slayer]

Ok . I'm going away today, but I'll post it this evening.
