Nice ideas Beremir, those will definitely will come in handy. Ehy druchi, if you could get started working on some of the powers/spells then i would really appreciate it.

[Gfire]

Can you do FX coding, TWO?

Also, I think Mordor should have an archer hero, so can Herumor have a weapon toggle? He could use CaH model and Anims, probably.

Nice ideas beremir.

sorry i havent been able to help out lately, i havent been able to get on my MAIN cp. So i cant work on anything.

@rjorrin and hex: Make the slopes of mount doom playable on. Make more slopes. for maps.


Nice work wicked, and good buttons gfire.

[TheWickedOne]

Actually for FX coding, i am learning it, i'm not an expert on it but i know my way around it. Some pics:

[the-king112]

i think the numenor units are fine, they could probably use a touch up..

Elven units need to be worked on Majorly. Mainly wee need noldor, idk if thats galadrihm or not, just saying.

[Gfire]

Wow, great work. It looks nice. What other buttons do I need to make?

[the-king112]

Here are some palantir images:

Numenor Archer


Anarion


Isildur


Elendil

[rjorrin28]

I like the Numenor Archer!!
I will start to work on maps as soon as I can.

For buttons:
-More orc buttons
-Elven Crown - For Elrond and Gil-galad, Leadership.
-Arnor Crown - For Men heroes.

Use this portrait for Palantir images, it's easier and it looks better in-game: http://www.the3rdage.net/item-16

For Palantir images, i need:

-Arnor Soldier - I can get a good image for this one
-Arnor Archer
-Arnor Spearmen
-Arnor Royal Guard - although i'm not sure what model to use for this unit yet. No need for this image for now.
-Elendil - the one you posted is too dark
-Isildur - make him bland a little more like you did with Anarion
-Anarion - His image looks good, for now i just gave him the in-game Isildur skin.
-Gil-galad
-Elrond - so it matches his button picture, more into the 2nd age kinda look.
-Thranduil - His regular picture is fine and i can't find another one.
-Cirdan
-2nd Age Orcs
-2nd Age Orc Archers
-Noldor archers
-Noldor Spearmen
-Noldor Swordmen

So do you want me to start all over with palantir images?? or keep sone?

[TheWickedOne]

No keep them, just fix them a bit like i said in my previous post. For the next Palantir images though use the download that i posted the link to.

[the-king112]

ill just make new ones with the downloaded one u suggested.


I will re make Elendil totally.

[Gfire]

Alright. Is there need of Orc archers, or just any Orcs I can find?

If I run out of buttons I'll help with Palantir Images. Also, I have a decent pic of Cirdan that might work for the Palantir image, too. Just search google images for "Cirdan lotr" and it is like the second one. It is a pic of a miniature, I think, but it's very detailed, at least good enough for the buttons.

BTW, do I need to make the blue hero buttons for revival, too, or is that automatic?

Is it alright if I use Gil-Galad's shield for elf leadership? I can't find any elf crowns.

Also, I found this picture that might be good for the Noldor Longbow Palantir:

[TheWickedOne]

Try to find an orc archer otherwise if there aren't any then just do any orc you can find. Yes, i do need the blue pics revival for heroes, i forgot about that. The shield pic will do great for Gil-galad. And the longbow pic looks good.

[Gfire]

What about the buttons that are already in the game?

BTW, Gil-Galad had the ring of air at that time, so he should have Elrond's whirlwind, and Elrond could get blade master, or something. Also, Cirdan could have some fire attack because he has the fire ring.

[TheWickedOne]

Yeah, i remember now about the rings of the Elves. We have a problem though, some of us (2 or more) need to get into skinning and modeling if we can accomplish this mod, otherwise we are gonna need to borrow from other mods and i don't think that would go so well.

[Gfire]

I'll try some skinning. I don't really know how, but I'll get into it. Does it really matter how the file is laid out, or can I just put anything anywhere and the modeler does the rest?

King, can you post the finished tech tree, please? Just something a little more official that the bits and pieces across the thread.

Edited by Gfire, 24 October 2008 - 05:43 PM.

[TheWickedOne]

Well so far from i could understood from skinning is that you have to UV it to the model (I know i don't understand it either). also i think that when you make a new model on RenX, it lays out the skin for you and you just have to edit it.

[Gfire]

So RenX makes a new .tga for the model automatically, your saying?

[Gfire]

I have an idea. Since the upgrades are seperate for men and elves, why not make the forged blades different colors? I think that would look cool and also help you to tell the difference between men and elves.
