Ok cool. For all Moria (and similar) maps, we should probably disable the camera options btw.

[MattTheLegoman]

It would be tricky but we can make a roof for the underground maps.

[Nazgûl]

You mean, a model? Or a texture for the dome?

While I think it would be possible to do a roof for the moria maps it might be easier to just leave out the camera options. Ive always envsioned arches connecting to each of the columns, im not sure how to pull that off without a custom roof for each moria map. Seems like a headache. Even if kept simple it might look funny with the columns reaching up into empty stone cavern, but not touching it.

You could have a flat "roof" object that sits on top of the columns, and then move the high cameras lower to make them fit

[NewErr]

Or make big fucking columns!

This looks amazing!

 

Hopefully there's a way to port this map over to BFME 1 at some point...

[Nazgûl]

I agree on the column problem... If they don't reach the roof, it would look rather silly.

Or just ditch the cam system. Leave it "unlockable" for cinematic purposes, but for game play and functionality it is entirely useless.

Been working on the 21st hall lately, went through and made sweeping changes. Taking into account what members have said about the map, and adding in a few minor details to better tie it to the FOTR. I also made some changes with the walls around balins tomb, so that the walls look less cobbled together. Im also going to find a way to have a balrog spawn as a creep in one of several random locations in the columned area. I will have it set that he spawns randomly like gollum and wanders within an area he is confined to. Might need some help with the scripts on this one.

If someone managed to get what you want working for the Watcher in the Water for your other Moria map then I could retro-engineer it to work for the Balrog?

HAHA, im still not really satisfied with how the watcher works. For the Balrog I want it to spawn on the map upon loading and to wander around within a restricted zone, I also think Id like it to be invincible and not use a timer.

[Nazgûl]

Sounds good... I have no idea when I will reach the point of working on coding for individual maps though =/

[njm1983]

Let me risk a little more light....

 

 

Some texture work, it gets kind of repetitive lol

[Ridder Geel]

Cool, looks good so far

Making the Balrog invincible and all should be relatively easy

Although keeping him in a certain area might be a bit more challenging...
