It's time for a new thread...

Several new screens uploaded to my site: morgul and mordor troops!

-Morgul orcs
-Morgul banner carrier
-Mordor orcs
-Mordor pikemen
-Rhun archers
-Mordor orc archers
-Morgul Black Uruks

Many of these models were donated by BFME+ so you've seen them before. Though the banner and Black Uruks are competely new. The Banner was made by Cahik ages ago and I finally put it in-game and I must admit I love it!!! The Black Uruks were made by Lauri.

Also, I am in the process of updating the kotw info page on my site... the Gondor part is completely done, so go check it out right now! More stuff will be updated tonight and tomorrow probably.

Nice, the banner is awesome.

[cahik_]

glad that you like it

[Lauri]

oh... first I was like "Damn, you made a new black uruk, without telling me?!?!!?!??!" then I saw you said I've made it It's pretty old now

[GothmogtheOrc]

No new screens right now but I do have some news:

I finally found and fixed an error in my Shadows of Evil mod that I also had in Kotw that relates to Eomer (nasty game.dat that I couldn't pin down)... 2 birds, 1 stone *pats self on back*

I also did some work on my new Grima Wormtongue model and skin, its not great, but hopefully it'll work well enough in-game. If it does I'll post some screens. Currently he uses Aragorn's animations and is based off of his model... like I said, not great but I couldn't think of anything better. I'm open to ideas if someone has a suggestion. Constraints are: needs to be a model that I don't have to make many changes to, ideally he has either a walk animation or a decent run animation, ideally has a cloak, ideally has hair that is modelled (like aragorns), one handed weapon is a bonus

I got several of the new gondor unit models in-game as well as the uruk scout for isengard and I decided upon the unit list for gondor and which models will be which units. Unfortunately I also realized that several of the gondor units/heroes need new skins, but as I was able to make Grima's skin in about 2 hours, maybe I can do the same with these Aragorn, rangers, merry, pippin, Madril, Mablung, Damrod, and Beregond are among those who either need new skins or an edited model.

Now for some really good news: Isengard is going to be finished as soon as I can get to it these are the only things left to do:

-Grima Wormtongue: model/skin
-Grima Wormtongue: powers
-Isen Scouts: powers
-Forward Siege Base: get model in-game
-Forward Siege Base: code it
-Add a knockback nugget weapon to Taint (knocks down enemy troops when summoned )
-Add a summons power to replace Industry (saruman has it now) either Goblins or Dundendling (sp?)
-Edit Saruman fireball/attack to make him stronger against heroes like Gandalf, Balrog, etc
-Isen AI: grima, scouts, siege base, and anything else not added... but most of the AI was done long ago. (Lauri's doing this when I finish the above stuff)

And thats it! Isengard will be completely done, for good, never to be edited again by me hopefully anyway.

Update:

Kings of the West now has a page at the ModDB website HERE, nothing really new but go ahead and give the mod a few hits The mod is also on the top 100 bfme mods list.

FlameGuard has donated a Grima Wormtongue model to kotw so a big "Thanks!" is due It's a very nice model originally made by Pacman/Feudal_Knight, edited and skinned by FlameGuard. I've gotten it in-game already but no screens yet. Powers will come soon.

I also worked on the Uruk Scout and Isengard Forward Siege Works yesterday though there's nothing fancy to report about them yet. Scouts got stealth and the forward siege works didn't show up due to a comandbutton mistake I think... I haven't had a chance to check it yet (24 came on TV and I had to stop )

This afternoon I'll be working on the website for a little bit but then I've got to go to work.

No updates the last few days but work has been done behind the scenes

Grima Wormtongue and Denethor Renders have been uploaded to the site... denethor is new as of an hour ago

"404 not found"

[GothmogtheOrc]

404 has been fixed... I have no idea why that happened, as they were up for a short while last night.

Rohan stuff will be comming as soon as Isengard is done and Gondor has been worked on some more... I'd like to finish these two factions before I start on another one. But don't worry, there will be lots of cool rohan stuff in the mod it's all been planned out and I'm going to start skinning some of the rohan heroes soon

Edit: some of the new rohan stuff includes: Royal Guards, Theodred, Hama, Erkenbrand, Elfhelm, Grimbold, Gamling, the Blue Wizards, Haldir and the Elves, and a few other changes.

Nice, they're both looking good. What weapons will they use?

[GothmogtheOrc]

Denethor probably won't have an attack... he'll be exclusively a leadership/palantir(?)/Something else hero. Grima has a punch/stab attack animation made by Lauri that I'll probably use if I don't make him also a non-combatant. Utimately it'll come down to testing these guys and deciding how they will best fit into their factions. Either as non-combatants or as something else.
