[Black Dragon]

Hey, again I wasn't sure where to post this so appologies if its in the wrong place. I've taken a keen interest in this mod and I would like to offer my aid if it is needed. I have unofficially modded for BFME before but mostly I prefer to work with:

-Ideas
-Artwork/Visuals (such as icons ingame)
-SFX (I'm pretty good at ripping sfx or acquiring sfx from many sources)
-Texture Modifying (only basic for now)

So is there anything that is needed to be done? If not thats fine, my offer stands

[Devon]

well, everyone here is ideas pretty much, and theres an open beta out right now not sure what else rob needs, i would guess just fx, but, thats a guess good to have another fan join us

[Black Dragon]

Just wanted to add a possibility for aid, I notice there are many custom heroes who use the custom hero SFX. Would you perhaps like some unique voice sets for these?

Also would you perhaps like unique SFX for some of the new powers. Take the Galadriel power that gives a wind vortex which sucks people into the middle...now that SFX is the same as angmars, but if possible I could seek out a more unique varient to make Galadriel and other abilities more unique. Some prior suggestions...

Troll (One that can send the ice wolves like the bruin river power) - It could use a unique sfx to be less water based if I can acquire one/modify one.

My mind just went blank lol, ill try and suggest more if your interested

[Devon]

lol that was fast but yeah, robs always happy for new people/contributions you gotta ask him

[robnkarla]

I would most definitely be interested in any who wish to help out.

The areas that would help the most:

- Hero/unit powers (fx, etc.)

- Skins (Not my strongest area. I'm looking for more Easterling/Haradrim sknis. I also need to do damaged building states as well as bibs/floors for the new buildings)

- Models (I've got most of my models that I want for each of the factions, though there are a couple that I'm going to be doing. Mainly in this area I want to do more factions for the inn alliance - shire, rivendell, iron hills, etc. As well as fleshing out the Arnor/Angmar alliances.) Getting rid of CaH heroes is always a good thing.

- Voices - there are a number of overused voices that I would like to replace.

- Overall fx. There are a number of things I'm planning on doing that I will be doing fx work on.

The way I like to work best is a free-lance type/contributions type. That keeps any pressure I think off those who help, so if someone does some work in the past they don't feel obligated to continue to help out.

Edit - anyone interested can pm me, send an e-mail to rob.n.karla@hotmail.com or contact me via MSN using rob.n.karla@hotmail.com.

i can make some maps that you could put the bfme1 system onto if you would like

[Black Dragon]

I added you to MSN. I'll see what I can do to help out, the freelance style works nicely...I am a little keen to know specifics if aid was needed so I know what area to work in etc.

Things I could help with:
SFX, Voices, FX

By SFX i'm referring to things such as powers/abilities. There are times that some SFX can be tweaked to sound different without creating brand new SFX etc.

By Voices i'm referring to unit voices, perhaps even voices that are currently ingame, but again they can often be modified to sound more unique and different.

By VFX i'm referring to powers fx, i'm not incredible skilled in this area, but I may be able to modify existing powers to make them more unique. Such as various elven abilities which are a different color to Gondors etc...Subtle tweaks such as that are not vital, but they can go a long way to distinguish between factions/cultures etc.

I'll see what I can do, perhaps preview first.

lots of people have offered this, and robs asking us to wait until he sets up all the scripts and map ini so that its easy to import and stuff like that

[{IP}jimmyman]

yea i know thats like the third time ive offered that last time i said id make a Trolfalas map that he could import the map ini on and such

[robnkarla]

Calling all mappers!

If any mapper wants to donate a skirmish map or would like to see their map "RJ"-ized (BFME1 style, cameras, etc), please let me know. I think I'm close enough and have most of the scripts and map.ini's ready. Hopefully soon I'll have a "world-builder" friendly version of the mod up for you to play with and customize even further.

I'll take the maps and add all the fun stuff.

wow! who could possibly refuse this offer?

I have an old forest map that i'm working on at the moment that might work quite well if your interested

[Devon]

yes! ill catch you on msn about this...

[{IP}jimmyman]

and yoda caught me on xfire so im up for game too

[m@tt]

Don't forget to check out the Converted BFME 1 Maps on the main site (found at GameReplays (I didn't do them!)) - if you haven't already.

[robnkarla]

That I have when I first started doing the conversion of the maps way back when. I checked with [THAD]Rohara for permission, but when I went about doing the maps it was just about the same for my purposes to just use the BFME1 maps as to convert my maps from those already converted. I have quite a few of them about ready to go to be included in the next release.

I've just gotten a number of questions lately for donated maps and I was just letting everyone know that I'm ready for anyone who would be kind enough to dontate maps.

Hey Rob. I'd be glad to help you out with the voices, as you may have noticed, I am already doing it for SEE, and I see no problem in helping you out as well, in fact...I'd LOVE to.

I have loads of equipment to edit the sounds as well to get most of the background music and crap like that out of there. Yeah well, just PM me if you want my services!

Kudos on the fantastic mod by the way!

[robnkarla]

Rhodin,

Sorry for the late response. I would LOVE to have your help on this as well.

I'll send you a PM when I get my protected forum up.

Robert J.

That sounds great Rob!
