This mod will include a complete Arnor Faction, a new faction called Edain (all those who have read the Simarillion should now the meaning), a new faction called Rohan and an edited Elven Faction called Valinor and a new Faction called Utumno.

So you need a skinner, modeler and coder? What then are your skills, son (or daughter) of the city of the Goddess with Blazing Eyes

You plan to add Rohan, Arnor and Edain? Edain = Three houses of men loyal to elves (thus MOTW, Arnor and Rohan basically...)

What's it like over there atm? Loads of raging football hooligans causing havoc?

[JEV3]

A mod like this is already in production: "Wars of the Ainur" I suggest you get some skills and help Olorinlevalar... I am seeing waaayyy too many Valinor mods recently...

[cahik_]

i am seeing too many mods with too small teams recently

[kotsos13]

Look, I have some coding skills OK? I just can't do this on my own. Also, Perhaps you are right JEV3. I'll help olorinlevalar but I'm not so sure that he will accept me.

Ok fair enough, you have coding abilities. Just you didn't mention that at all in your post, leading me to believe this was another 'idea' mod.

Like stated above, joining an existing team would be useful. You'd get experience (and contact with modders who have skills in different areas), and they'd get an extra coder. Win-win situation

[Juissi]

Hey and welcome to Revora I hope that if you have any problems you post a topic about it but try first on your own and check the tutorials too
And about your mod, like zimoo said: If you just start this mod with no other skills I predict that you will propably get frustated at some point because one man mods are hard to do if you cant do nothing but code

[zimoo]

one man mods are hard to do if you cant do nothing but code

They're also hard to do even if your skills cover every area of modding

IMO, it's not that it's hard to do, it just takes longer. That is just how I feel.

Story of my life

[Nolis]

Can anybody tell me how I can join a modding team?

[Mathijs]

Well, err, you can just make a topic in the mod's subforum, PM the modleader, that sorta thing. Not a set way of doing it.

[kotsos13]

What if I want a site hosting my mod? Oh, I'm also havig problems with making an Edain (Rohan) faction. Can anybody help me?

Hi,
To join a modification you are interested in it is wise to contact a Team Leader/Public Relations manager. They will then see what skills you have and see if they are interested in having you on there team. You may need to show some kind of work so they know what you say you can do is true.

T3A offers hosting services wich can be found at This Forum & more information can be found Here. You will need to show some work/skill and not just Techtrees/Lists to get accepted for hosting.

What problems are you having with creating your own faction???

[kotsos13]

I need a tutorial to create a new faction because I'm very confused about it.

[Pixel]

There is not tutorial on creating a faction for Bfme2 and i dont know anyone that is working on one as of this moment. If you take a look at the existing factions coding you should get the basic idea of how its controlled.

Things you will need to do/edit for your faction:
*Playertemplate.ini
*Lotr.str
*Make a Castle/Fortress.ini
*Make a builder/porter.ini
Once those are done correctly your new faction should atleast show up and run ingame. You will ofcourse need to add more buildings, base stuff and so on... But those are the main things you will need to do in Bfme2 if i remember correctly

[kotsos13]

How can one add the structures and the Rohan Fortress from BFME1.

[Pixel]

All of rohans buildings/fortress is already in bfme2 inside the obsolete folder.

[Nolis]

I have some tutorials that will help you.I also want to make 2 new factions and I searched for tutorials.If you want them e-mail me at Nolis1992@yahoo.gr.

The castle/fortress.ini and the builder/porter.ini I have to make them by my self or I can edit existing ones?
