he doesnt? i will admit Aragorns texture is under all of it. the only part the same is the tunic. Thats it. Except for the face which i am still trying to get right...

[Rider of Rohan]

Why not try to fit in the design for Arathorn from the Born of Hope movie ?

[Elric]

Oh my gosh. I have seen that and i totally forgot the name of it. Thank you for that! big help. 

[Elric]

Update: 

 

New Well to better fit the "theme"

 

[Elric]

Also, Somewhere previously said no horsemen mount dismount horde is possible. You are indeed correct. I have not been able to get it to work. So to compensate this. I will make it so Arathorn is NOT mounted. And i have decided to enable an upgrade where like Keen Eyes it will effect all the units as a whole global upgrade. It will increase the speed by a tad on all the Dunedain footmen, excluding heroes. This should allow for a more substational style of play. You wont be able to just buy horsemen and run down your enemies at the start of a game unless you are Rohan. You will have to think about how to use your money whilst playing the Dunedain. 

 

Thoughts??

Update:

 

New Dunedain Master is now completely coded in to the game using the Mirkwood model and the new skin.

 

All the Dunedain Heroes together:

[Lauri]

May I ask why you want the Dunedain Master to look completely unrelated to the rest of the faction? The skin sceams elvish, and that model is only suited for an elf. Even then it's a bad model.

 

Also, Arathorn does look like Aragorn. A bow is basically what separates them. And who's the last hero? Halbarad? He looks like a normal ranger, with a pitch-black bow. I'm really missing the sense of the Dunedain. More green, more like the logo for your mod!

[Elric]

In all honesty haha i will be redoing Arathorn, Halbarad, and the master in due time. since i am in California on a laptop that cant exactly run a lot of the things i usually use to mod its quite difficult. I get back home to my good desktop and everything at the end of the month. So for now it will have to do. 

 

As for the Mirkwood. I chose it because when doing the Rapid succession ability it looks good compared to the rest of the models i could of chosen. As for the way the model looks. That can be covered up by the skin once i am home and can properly redo it.

 

With the computer i have now i cant do high quality editing because not enough power in the computer. I am trying my best but its proving quite difficult atm.

I will try and fix Arathorn but no promises. I might be able to get photoshop to open long enough for me to be able to fix the face and tunic up to look different.   

 

AS for the green. That is my exact issue here. I feel like i keep using the same colors which i know i am - black. But i dont want to use to much green either. I can only really use dark colors for the Dunedain. Grey, Black, Dark Green, A bit of a lighter green. But any other suggestions of color? I honestly hate the brown and the white color unless its a snow map. I am probably going to have to replace the brown with bits of green in there to.

[Lauri]

Well, rangers are rangers. They need to to be able to hide in the forest, so you don't really have much choice. Green as primary, then bits of brown and darker shades. Grey and black is really only assosiated with the Grey Company, as far as I see it. Then again, too much green will make us go "Ah, Ithilien rangers." So it's a fine balance, but I personally am a big fan of this concept.

 

No, you really can't cover the model with skin. You'll have to edit the model for it to look good, EA simply made a horrible job on that model. Sad, but true

 

And why do you show us models you know will get "fixed" later on? We who decide if you get hosted or not don't need to see fast progress. We want to see if you take your time to properly work on the mod. Show us that you'll stick with the mod through the ages(!), and that you want it to be as close to perfect as you can. I know, it's hard to show the progress of having a hero coded in without screenshots

 

Keep it up

[Elric]

Wow that concept is kinda ironic because that's were I got the idea got the spearmen. The reason I am show you things that will be changed later is because I am trying to keep my coding going without the models. E.g use a model as reference so that I can code the powers and abilities in for him. That way when the time comes I can just through in the new models and I would be done. Does that make sense?

Exactly my thoughts about the coloring. What I've tried to do is mix the coloring e.g halbarad. green and a grey black. I'll play with some more green colors. I was thinking a neutral color imbetween grey and green. Hmm ill see. As for the covering up the model with a skin. There is a new model and skin in the works. It's difficult to be modding in the summer due to everyone's vacation plans. But work shall go on! Today ill be making button images and stuff for the Dunedain spell book and Rohan spellbook

I think you mean placeholder , and I'm making Arathorn's outfit in shades of Brown, which follows the BOH style. Aragorn can use what ever outfit you'd like, although Mathijs made a sweet looking ranger version of him already.

[Elric]

Sounds good RoR!

I feel the need to apologize to anyone I have offended and or made thought badly of me recently through the classic edition mod.

Anyways. I think the only gong Aragon needs is to be HDed up hahha

[Elric]

Definently improved! Thanks RoR much appreciated. 

[Spartan184]

He looks a lot like Faramir now But otherwise it looks good. 

[Rider of Rohan]

Meh, the face is from a still from the movie but thanks !

[Dúnedain76]

Try darkening his beard and hair a bit. Also his face seems to be a bit yellow, especially around the nose.

 

I am loving his tunic and leather coat however! You did very well in matching him to Born of Hope (Great short film considering the Dúnedain of Arnor.)

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

It's a bit light overall.

 

@Dunedain Ranger76 Lone Wolves don't die.

[Dúnedain76]

Tell that to Robb Stark and Eddard Stark.
