Stop asking everyone if you can join. If modders need certain jobs, they'll set up a thread asking for people to apply. No one will let you join just because you say you want to help. Saying you have ideas won't get you anywhere.

And from your other begging topic:

Number1:

If you have more of those general questions in store for us, i advise you to collect them all in a single thread in the general modding forum. This really has no place in the subforum of WotE or any other one for that matter.

Number2

... most importantly, read this:

• If you are new...(at The3rdAge)...read this! - Useful for senior members too - constantly updated

Great job, Rob! This mod will be at the top of my agenda to download and play. I've always loved the Battle of Helm's Deep, especially from the BFME I Campaign. I'm glad that somebody has taken time to make an in depth, fully scripted version of this epic scene. Being an aspiring mapper, I was just wondering how you made the glittering cave section, and how you made a mini door through the arcade into it. Also, for the secret passage that Aragorn and Gimli used, will they just walk around, or actually use the little doors it the wall? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the interest! The images you currently see for the map are a little bit outdated and I plan to start re-doing many parts of the map to make it better. For the glittering caves, I expanded the map behind the arcade and added a throne room, some other small rooms, and the glittering caves. I'm going to redecorate these areas and add many custom models/skins to it. Right now, for the arcade, I used a postern gate object to walk from the outside of the arcade to the inside. Again, this will be re-done and I will be adding opening/closing doors instead. Finally, for the secret passage, I'm again using postern gates to have them reach the causeway. I may make something where Gimli and Aragorn jump to the causeway but that may not be very practical or possible so we'll see. Feel free to ask any other questions you have about the map or mod in general.

Yeah, 'magic' is usually my answer when a teacher asks me something I don't know. It's a bit dissapointing because the teachers think I'm crazy... Anyway, if I understand correctly, you just put the caves and throne behind a massive mountain. Can flying units still get in?
BTW I have ROTWK
Oh, yeah... No harm intended, but your name is Rob, and your little icon thing says that you're a crazy femmenist. Am I missing something here?

Ah, I use the pieces from the Erebor map right now to create the transition from the outside to the inside. The mountainside turns clear when your camera gets near it, and I'm not to sure about if flying units can pass through them. That's a good thing to test out.. Anyway, I will be redoing this part to (no surprise ) and creating one or two big sheets for the mountainside. As for the crazy feminist thing, YodaWarrior says it best:
