Aragorn

Edited Aragorn Model (Special thanks to Lauri) - The change was the removal of the cape. The model works wonderfully other than the red glow. The glow is solid, and I believe it has to do with the model. The blue specs fx was made by me.


Theoden

Edited Theoden foot model (Special thanks to Flameguard) - The change in the model was the removal of the helmet. In the Helm's Deep battle, Theoden does not wear a helmet while on foot.


Theoden horse model - When Theoden toggles to horse, he receives his helmet, just like in the movies.

Arrow Upgrade

I decided that I should do something different with their fire arrow upgrade. I don't want the good faction in this map to have fire arrows because I think it makes the explosive mines too easy and they'll never reach the wall. So, I've decided to make a new fx to the arrow upgrade and give it more of a silverthorn effect to it. Here's a couple of screenshots for the rohan archer arrow upgrade.

[Rob38]

Of course they will, just haven't gotten around to them yet

[Servant of Sauron]

What are you calling the new arrow upgrade?

[Rob38]

What are you calling the new arrow upgrade?

I don't know yet. Can anyone come up of a good name for them?

[Elvenlord]

Why not something like marksmen?
Or forged arrows
Steel tips?
Hardened shafts?
Ok, I'm out

[Devon]

Id say Iron tip

[Servant of Sauron]

Iron Tips sounds good.

You might want to make Mines a bit more resistant to arrows than they currently are too.

Yes, of course. Everything will go through some marjor balancing to ensure that the attack on Helm's Deep will be a challenging one.

what about exchanching faramir for haleth son of háma?

can't give pickture now.

EDIT: cause there both archers, it musn't be a problem

2nd EDIT: i'd gived this complain because faramir wasn't at helm's deep at the time + because haleth is son of háma i tought he could replace faramir.

the only thing that has to happen is to scale down faramir's body and reskin him.

3th EDIT: space between "this"and "complain".

4th EDIT: deleted extra A in "space".

try typing slower



and woudlnt that be a big waste of time because he'd be very weak and have no powers and so just die straight away after all of that coding and modelling. - the faramir hero image at the buttom isn't going to be in game, just like there won't be 3 aragorns, its just for testing things out use different heroes

Yes, jimiojoe is right, the faramir and three aragorns were just for testing purposes and will not be in the game

I'm actually thinking of using the Faramir model for Gamling instead. Now I know Gamling doesn't necessary use a bow in the Helm's Deep battle, but clearly he knows how to do as it is seen int the third movie. And besides, giving Gamling a toggle between sword and bow would make him a little bit more interesting

isn't it possible to make 2 characters from 1 model caus i 've found a text about him and know what kind of speacial attacks you could give haleth:

jump upon enemy attack,haleth jumps upon an enemy and starts hacking with his blade, gets of enemy when killed it

take arms over, taking stuff from a dying soldier to enlarge his defence and attack but also making him a bit slower, cause it will be heavier to wear.

rock throw, throws rocks upon enemy's ( seen in the movie's throwing little rocks upon the enemy's bellow
the hornbridge.)

chanche bow to blade: chanche's from bow to blade (needed for the "jump upon enemy attack".)

oathsword, a spin attack killing the enemy's in the direct surroundings.

hide, hide for the uruk arrows.

shot of courage: haleth gets an adrealin rush that will make him react faster for a short time

hatred shot, haleth shoots an arrow with all his strenght, angryness and pain, directly killing his subject.

ummm, faramir wont be ingame, so it doesnt matter if gamling uses that model.


that kid sounds a bit op :/

[Rob38]

Yea, I don't know if Haleth should be a hero. I mean, at best, I don't think he's any better than a yeoman archer, and he's only a kid. Besides, I don't know if some of those abilities could be possible, unless I made lots of new animations for him. I do like some of those abilities though, and I may give them to Legolas

[zimoo]

Been too long since I read the Silmarillion, but I could have sworn Haleth was female. Oh well

[rutger]

well i did tryed it, but because his name is 1 of the few names of warriors seen/ heard in the movies i'd gave you my explainations.

now, it almost comes to the edge of "i take this mod" or not

rob: tell me wich abileties you like, maybe i can explain more of those.


still i like haleth cause he both contains strenght, courage, fear and pain
and still can fight, and when he fights he fight like a hero, his skill is marvelous

if i were in that story i would never get to jump upon an enemy's back and start hacking thil he killed it.

o i mention, can anyone help me with a good avatar photo of haleth?

Edited by rutger, 01 July 2007 - 09:00 AM.

[Rob38]

Very true what you said about Haleth. Maybe I'll make him more of like a hobbit. I can take the model of Merry or any other hobbit and modify it a bit. This would make him look like a kid and he'll have the ability to throw rocks and use a small sword. I'll work on it when I have a little more time, but I'm liking what you said about Haleth. I think you convinced me to add him as a hero. I'll make him the weakest of the heroes though, and his strength will probably be equilavant to Merry and/or Pippin in BFME1

[Hearach]

I don't really think he should have a small sword. If he was being armed at Helms Deep, all of the equipment would be adult size. So you can imagine him with an overly large looking sword and a slowish attack.

... Just thinking aloud

[rutger]

to rob, maybe haleth looks better with a bow, but i will not hold your from your (new) idea

to hunter, yes you are right, the weaponary was bigger, but i think it wasn't heavier cause these boy's were
already strong from their life as farmer or woodcutter.

EDIT: but in the text i read, stood that his armor fitted ill and the sword (wich aragorn said about was a good one) felt clumbsy and heavy in his grip, so i think you're right hunter.

EDIT 2: the attack called oathsword by me, is in the text a better sword haleth got from the dying soldier
(named oathsword by aragorn (also in the text).).

EDIT 3: in the text there was a big uruk standing upon the deepning wall throwing men of the wall, killing the men below with those he throwed. ( haleth killed it with two throwing axes found in a dead uruk's corpse
( coming from gimli ) by jumping upon his back and start hacking with those.)
i told of hacking with the sword because i did'nt want to give you to much work.

+ that big uruk would be .

i mention, ................. i forgot it what to mention , got it again.

if i saw it right( the third age gamecube game) there was a small way trough the outer wall of the hornbridge that leaded to the deepning wall, maybe you can make that with an postern gate.
