alpha channels on the banner is a pluss
still it all looks as good as it did before

[Kwen]

Yeah, for some reason my alpha channels arent working... it has an alpha, but as you can see. no workey..?

[Lauri]

Did you define that in the material?

Did you set the Shader to Alpha Test and Blend?

[Kwen]

I feel dumb now

[hrrypttrbst]

I like them all there very good

[Eldarion]

Why thank you - though they're anything but perfect. And I kinda doubt complimenting the skins is what it takes to become a beta tester .

[CIL]

Altair, you are a noob. They would not let you be a beta tester because a. you are not even registered and b. do you have any experience beta testing or helping with mods? Or even talking on forums?

[Kwen]

wise words.

I really like the new helmets for the gondor infantry. The EA ones were just so crude and blurry. I have an Idea for gondor though. You know the camps, well there is a spot in the camp where you could put another building plot. It's not large enough for another building, but perhaps the plot would allow you to construct just a tower, well, or stature. The position of it is like this:

note: X=standard building plot, K=Keep, W=Wall, o=new plot...

WWWW
WX o XW
WX K XW
WX XW
W W
Not really necessary, but I think it would be cool. I hope this makes some sense. Thanks- Yarrum

Edit: Argh, the stuff is not in the right spot, everything gets aligned to the left. Anyways, I think the new plot could go between the two plot fathest from the exit to the camp.

hmmmm, an interesting idea, but that would require editing all the bse files, not sure i'm up to that

[Yarrum]

As in like going into each level and editing all the Gondor base files? Yikes! Oh well, back to the drawing board. *Banks head against drawing board* I'll think of something cool you could add. Awesome job so far though. Just thought I'd point out though, Boromir's head is some what awkward. I don't know if it's the final skin/model or not, but I just thought I'd bring it to attention...

[Lauri]

uhm...

as in, editing 5 files slighly...
in a map, there is a "placeholder", that is used to lay out a castle, camp or something...
And them placeholders refers to different base-files depending on the faction in the ini's...
So, on a map where a camp is in the lower left, it's usually called CAMPNE (NE North East)..
So, when a faction is called upon on that plot, the ini's read the faction and the desides the base to use for it..

so, there are only 5 files to edit.. It's just that Kwen is lazy Obviously... (only 4 are used though)

[Yarrum]

Now that's what I call lazy. Kind of reminds me of someone... like that guy over there. *points to his reflection in a mirror* Oh well, maybe I can figure out how to do it myself.

Awkward in what way? If it's something that's fixable, I'll try to fix it. Though please don't say anything too insulting - I spent about two hours on that head.

A note: I've only ever seen one Boromir in a mod on which the face looked just right, and that is RA's armored Boromir. All other versions I've seen have slightly odd faces - including RA's light-armor version and TEA's Boromir. No insult intended to the skinners who did those - it's just a very difficult face to get right.

soo... i'm a horrible base builder anyways... and yeah... kinda lazy. i've been in a skinning mood lately.

as for boromir eldarion, the angle doesn't help the picture, and perhaps a bit more shadows below the chin and at the hairline would make it better

For the Gondor Infantry, I would recommend for you to have two or three random textures which are the same except for the faces. It would add more realism to the army.

[Kwen]

all the same cept for the faces huh, well possibly that will come later, same with wlves with like different hair and such...
