holy shit its huge. Just make sure its not so big it doesn't hit buildings properly

[Nazgûl]

Hehe nah it looks pretty good actually... well like before only bigger, but there is one problem. It stops a tad too late when attacking, so the nose goes a bit into the building before pulling back for the hit. I'm trying to find the code for it to stop like twice the distance from before

wel i think u can use it if u let fall stone or something wen it smages on the building im mean a ram is ment to destroy, and it looks bether if it crashes true a building than wen it stops infront of it wel thats my opinion but, i think it wil be hard for gates because it wil go true those 2 in one smash.

but it looks great much bether as that small one with the little trols pushing it:p

You know... you don't have to quote if the answer you are posting is directly under the post you're going to answer?

Rubble that fall from buildings will require modeling, and I'm not a modeler, only a coder and skinner. It DOES crash through my friend, beleive me... hehe. The trolls pull it back and releases the ram so it swings forth and destroys most things in one smash, except gates and fortresses, those require a few strikes What I meant was that I need to adjust it to stop earlier BEFORE it attacks with the ram. I don't know if you understand, but like if you're gonna crash a car into a brick wall for a movie, for instance. You would want the car to crash where the wall is and not 1 fot/meter behind it, right?

[Bulletman]

ow lol i misunderstud u but now i get it, yeh ur right i thought u ment the ram smashes to far forward

[Lauri]

just a note....

Rubble that fall from buildings will require modeling

that's bullshit, and you'd knew it

Body					= ActiveBody ModuleTag_05
MaxHealth			 = GONDOR_BARRACKS_HEALTH
MaxHealthDamaged	  = GONDOR_BARRACKS_HEALTH_DAMAGED
MaxHealthReallyDamaged  = GONDOR_BARRACKS_HEALTH_REALLY_DAMAGED
DamageCreationList = OCL_BuildingDamageList01 CATAPULT_ROCK
	
DamageCreationList = OCL_GBBarracksN2D2_Chunk1 CATAPULT_ROCK FRONT_DESTROYED
DamageCreationList = OCL_GBBarracksN2D2_Chunk2 CATAPULT_ROCK RIGHT_DESTROYED
DamageCreationList = OCL_GBBarracksN2D2_Chunk3 CATAPULT_ROCK BACK_DESTROYED
DamageCreationList = OCL_GBBarracksN2D2_Chunk4 CATAPULT_ROCK LEFT_DESTROYED
End

of course, if you mean like real rubble, it'd be modeling, though impossible still

[Nazgûl]

Off course there's rubble, but I thought he ment rubble upon the grond touching the strucure before the attack... when it came too close... Well never mind, lol, it's fixed now. AttackRange was correct, so now it stops before it "drives" through the structure...

And here's what can happen now... hehe

"Say hellooo to my little friend!"


Aaaaaand.....


THERE you go...!!!

(That was after 3 strikes though... 5th brought it down completely

[Sûlherokhh]

That implement has finally gotten the right to really be called 'hammer of the underworld'! ;-)

[Nazgûl]

Hell YEAH!!! lol
The first time I saw the Grond in this game I thought... is THAT the best they could do with that "skyskraper on wheels" from the movie??? But like many other things in this mod - it's now cured!

Notice that lone Gondor Tower Guard that's trying to poke something! LOL

ANd see the ground marking? Thats where units get squiched (spelling?). And that area should be wider... know how?


And next update: Orc Archers are visible while using the Siege Tower as a moving bunker

[Nazgûl]

Next update... Recolored skins for Goblins. It's supposed to look like leater and then metal, instead of that "EA-Gold" they had for HA... Only Elves with have "golden" look now, like stated earlier in this thread

Goblin Swordsmen in leather plates...


And in metal plates...


Goblin Archers in leather...


And with metal...


Goblins will be the weakest units in the game for sure, but they will be many, cheap and fast to recruit (half the time from all others). So as they say themselves; "Let's SWARM them"...

I'm currently also trying to reset Drogoth so he'll be recruitable on the same grounds as Gwaihir for Elves.. that is; only when the Nest is built And instead give Goblins three Fire Drakes recruitable as "heroes", like the good side have the Eagles, only three, since they're weaker, ground based and can't fly. Don't worry though, since Drogoth the dragon Lord, will slay an Eagle without too much hassle. Try the Fire Ball before you attack them in melee

Nice, much better than EAs golden goblins.

[Nazgûl]

Thanks, I hope so

[Nazgûl]

YES!!!
FINALLY I solved the crush damage for the humongous Grond, and after like a day of experimenting and paytesting - this only... I got it to work precicely according to the model! Trees and units gets crushed exactly when the giant model collides with them, and units that stand only a few feet away, to the side of it, makes it. Just like it should be! It's great fun to just roll in over enemy troops now and see them squish like bugs! Grond is best attacked with siege units, ents, fire and magic, and heroes to some extent. Nothing else will damage it more than merely noticable. Reality rules!

[Mordor Slayer]

Nice updates! Now remove the green goblin banner glow, and it's perfect.

[Nazgûl]

I'm not that fond of them either... but I still need them if I'm gonna keep the "spawn from the banner" behaviour - as an indication to something magical, I think

Ithron might have a solution for the red glow though, I'm about to test it now

[Nazgûl]

WOHOOO!!! I WAS RIGHT! NO NEED FOR MODELING AT ALL! *lol*

Thanks to Ithronaiwendil, we FINALLY got rid of the "star wars" red glow for some FB's... It was not modeling, it was only a metter of adding a blue texture to Art with the name of the red one so it overrides the red graphically. Simple as that! THAAANK you Ithron!

Now, the blue isn't exactly the same as the others, it has a weak tone of turquoise, but who cares, IT'S NOT RED!



All credit to Ithronaiwendil for this one!

[Nazgûl]

Aaand one more update.... the natural size for the Grond wasn't enough off course. The Ents needed the same modding... and here we are! Natural sized Ents!

[watsupcuz]

woah, theyre are pretty big now, any chance of making the mountan giant bigger then or not.

[Nazgûl]

Off course, I just don't have any reference on how big they should be? :s The trolls are about half the ents now, and the giants are about between them. Dunno if they should be bigger? Not bigger then the ents at least, that's for sure

[zimoo]

Well the giants in the books were supposedly the cause of the storms in the mountains, hurling rocks at each other. I'd say double their size personally
