Great screens AD, thanks =)

Yup, that's what I remember.

Thanks for the pics, jogged my memory.

Not only is he a good director, but a good actor? I'm dieing to get those movies on my new iPod! The best freakin' movies ever! (in my opinion)

So, is there any plans to add each character to the building thing? Just like adding him as a corsair?

I thought about it, and maybe... A reskin should be enough and we could have:

- Corsair for Mordor (almost done)
- Rohan Spearman from Golden Hall maybe?
- Uhm... and maybe for the drunk guy in Bree... a drunken Dunlending or something? =p

[clonecommand]

The hobbit house could very well be a tavern or something

[Nazgûl]

Good idea... he could be with the Elves, as a Bree guy!
Not that powerful though... just funny =p

Maybe a really special power too... like throw booze on enemies that makes them HIGHLY flammable? lol

[Mathijs]

You've gone from a small and fitting tribute to desperately thinking of ways to add him in his other roles.

My suggestion: Dont do it.

[Nazgûl]

Matias - as ALWAYS you're the stone cold "ney sayer"

But I guess you're right

Even though I must say I didn't really like the word "desperately" - I'm trying to PLEASE here, not annoy! Why does this always come up with you?

[Mathijs]

Well, I'm not a nay-sayer, I just think a bit straightforward and realistic.

With desperately, I meant how people are thinking of ways to add him. I used the word to put more force behind the sentence, of course. You are here to please people by making a mod, not a giant tribute to good ol' PJ. I think the way it is now is subtle and fitting. Dont ruin it by overdoing it. Prefer quality over quantity. You dont want people to say ''Wait, thats PJ!'' and when they play another faction, ''Oh, here he is too. Nazgul must be obsessed or something.'' Once again, Im proving a point here, Im not trying to be likeable.

Try the Brewmaster from WC3. He has that power.

I agree with Matias, the corsair is enough.

[Nazgûl]

Allright, let's keep it that way then. I don't really mind which ever, I was just toying with what someone suggested earlier...

[clonecommand]

I like the idea by putting other places because its makes the mod more interesting. I highly doubt in-game, I'm gonna get ticked off at Nazgul for putting him in THREE whole times. It doesn't even have to be PJ, but only putting one cool little mini-hero in one faction makes the other factions sad (goes off to big screen to look for a good smiley )

---> ---> --->

The story line of the other factions^


In other words, I like the idea of the mini-heros recruitable in the stables and whatnot, and think there should be more than one mini-hero. Doesn't have to be PJ, but I do like the idea of him because he looked nice as a corsair, why not as a drunk guy and a spear chucker

Hehe yeah, I sorta agree Clone, but to tell you the truth, I'm just pretty sick of all the negativism that flows from some people everytime something out of the ordinary is talked about, so I just lost all inspiration regarding this matter

(No that does not equal angry/mad/upset... just plain "sick" of it)

And it also depends on which mood I'm in... and how you look upon it. But I also think that Matias do have a point. Maybe it will be a little too much =p

So = This matter won't be dealt with any further. PJ is in, and he'll stay a Corsair only. At least for now. I have no ebergy to convince people about stuff that's not really that important anyways =) At least the Captain Jackson turned out great

[clonecommand]

I don't think Matias had a good point (of course he had a point ). There are three Goblin units (now), 2 orcs units, 3-4 uruk-hai units, a heck of a lot of men (all of human desent) units, etc.

But I am perfectly happy with a Corsair unit.

*discussion on this matter closed*

[Garrison Nomad]

Yoyoyo, you could reskin one of the people wandering outside the inn to be him. Cool effect, i say. Besides, it doesn't add any gameplay component...jest makes sumthing look cooler. =)

[Bart]

He looks nice, but you should use a better resolution for his face texture. I wouldn't be able to recognize him if I didn't know that it's indeed him.

[Nazgûl]

Aha, well the skin is actually 512x512, but maybe the contrast of the face is a bit low. The resolution is high though, and the face is from a good clear photo of him =) I could try aand highten the contrast to make his details come out more...

[Bart]

it's not the contrast, his face is just blurry (and a little wrongly mapped). what source picture did you use?

[Nazgûl]

- The basic model was donated from Argolis... but I beleive that the model itself was actually an unmodded Corsair Cause when I got it, along with the Corsair skin that Argolis put the PJ Dummy's (Sideshow Weta) face onto, it looked pretty much exactly like a normal Corsairb but with a different face - this one:


It was good, put it didn't look like PJ, so I asked TDP to remodel it into a more... "well fed" model, since I wanted the look of PJ before his fantastic weight loss... After 3 attemts I was really happy with the body shape. When doing this I asked him to make the face wider and maybe that's why the face get's a bit stretched and "blurry" as you say? But it's also just a Screen Shot in 60% compression JPG... =p

Here's the photo I used in raw version...
