Hi guys.

Recently got back into BFME2 today, love the game so much... but couldn't find ROTWK disc anywhere :(.

I really liked the Noldor Warriors and want them in BFME2 as a level 3 at the barracks.

Their model and skin are probably already in the game, it's just the other coding I need from ROTWK to make them like a hero unit.

Can anyone help me please.

Much appreciated,

Marsbar



-------------------------------------------------------------------

edit, I grabbed a arnor mod from mevault which has every .ini file from ROTWK which will be useful for the Noldor Warriors, it looks like that there is no Nolder Warrior model in BFME2 though, but there is a Dunedain solder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: Looked through found Noldor Warrior textures, all I need now is their buttons, and run the game and see if it works...

I haven't been modding for a while, does anyone know where I would find the equivalent of ELVEN_NOLDORWARRIOR_BUILDCOST around... The error came up in the hordes ini file, but I know its placed somewhere else, but forgot :(.

acutally, gives me an error

Expected signed integer value, math op, or prefedined macro, but found 'ELVEN_NOLDORWARRIOR_BUILDCOST'

Error passing field 'BuildCost' in block 'Object' in file
'data\ini\object\goodfaction\hordes\elven\elvenhordes.ini', line 1366.

Error passing INI block 'Build Cost' in file
'data\ini\object\goodfaction\hordes\elven\elvenhordes.ini'.

blah blah blah

Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.

I'm missing something somewhere I am sure.

Okay so I managed to get it ingame...

To make it fairer in BFME2 I've reduced their health and made their health regeneration take a lot longer...

But there is one bug:

They attack with bows, but when they switch for swords they do not attack at all :\

Also where is the LOTR.STR... I have looked in ini.big, data1.big, _patch101.big and _patch103.big.

Strangely enough I can't find a 106.big (updated to the last one before making this mod)... Can't find it in my folders.



Help greatly needed with the two bugs.

Ah, easy fixes. you need the weaponset for both weaponsong and there regular swords. you then will also need there actual WEAPONS found in weapon.ini.

Ahh forgot about that, added that in I'll see if that works ingame...

Just down to artwork and string names now if it goes all well.

edit: Works, they were very easily killed by goblin archers though, unless that happened in ROTWK, I don't know what to do since their health is 500... that's quite high.

Just need artwork and strings now then thats step one of my small mod done.

edit: Found the str file...

Things left.

1. Barracks Build Button for Noldor Warriors
2. Portrait Button in gameplay for Noldor Warriors
3. Weaponsong button

If anyone can help please do, would mean a lot since I've lost the ROTWK disc and don't really want to order a new one since that would be a waste of money and take a long time for delivery.

I don't think there are noldor images in the texture files, you can find similar though like those of the elven warriors.

You can use this: MappedImage SBGood_ElvenAllies(It's the spellbook power image that summons the elven warriors, from BFME 1)

Not the best idea, but might look a bit better.

Also I was thinking if it is possible to use a texture file from ROTWK(google it maybe? don't know), find the noldor warriors file, extract the file, and the add it in your texture folder. Can anyone verify if this is possible?

Yes its possible to put rotwk stuff in BFME2... BTW the SBGood_ElvenAllies is for which button?

Can someone get this from ROTWK from me please?

He means the build-button. The portrait is a portrait, not a portrait button

Yes sorry I actually forgot what they were called, the portrait button I'm referring to is called the Palantir image lol.

I would but i cant because i dont have rotwk installed. HOWEVER if you download a mod like rj rotwk or the rc mod you will probably find there buttons in there. or the SEE mod. Not so sure about SEE but i believe i saw it in there at one point.

I'm pretty sure that RJ Mod just adds new stuff, doesn't contain all the old textures...

I used Wars of the East mod to get the Noldor strings, but the creator didn't put in the old textures or the mod would of been maybe 5gb.

[Chocolate Star]

I downloaded SEE and can see he did exactly the same as me, he has the rotwk buttons in for the Noldor warriors, but when I look in EU and BE in his compiled textures they aren't there???

Also looked at the members of Revora to see if they had the Noldor Warrior portrait as their avatar but don't either :(

:(

5gb doubt it.. 10mb? probably.

One picture depending on the size is 1mb.

Also, you will have to check see's noldor warrior ini. because they may of changed the names of the portraits and buttons?

I looked inside and it was exactly the same as mine EUWeaponsong ect.....

What I meant was for example in the main game there might be in rotwk... ARAGONROTWK1...

Now if someone wanted to make a mod they wouldn't need to put ARAGONROTWK1 in the mod, they just need to add new textures or replaced textures...

And no mod that I am aware of has got the Noldor stuff in their mod, the SEE I have no idea where it is placed I looked insde the folder of the first to letters :\

[Elric]

Try the UP folder. there is an old rohan warrior portrait in there. you can use is as a button image to if you resize it.

I think I have that one ingame right now, However I want the Noldor image since it's a Noldor Warrior and I'm a perfectionist.

Also want this as the main menu music.



I know there is plenty of music in the game, is this in the game? has the be.

I'll look around, but first want to finish Noldor Warriors.

Thread has 130 views, out of them nobody doesn't have ROTWK and can't help?

[Witch King]

I have the SEE mod and it has a portrait.

I uploaded it, I hope it is allowed

is this the pic you need?

[Chocolate Star]

Yessssssssssssssss

Thank you that is exactly the picture I need, thats from ROTWK so it's fine...

Just need the button image now... thanks so much. (this would be palantir)...

The button image must be somewhere in SEE, but in an image group, will continue to look for it hopefully something comes around.ed

edit: tried to put the dds plugin in gimp but doesnt work :( :( boooooo downloading photoshop trial to see if that works.
