Hello chums, as I'm sure you've already guessed from the title I've got a new map to add to my 'again' collection.

This is the first of my campaign remake maps that requires a mod to work, I believe that without the extra heroes, buildings and units added in TEA:CE the map is far less enjoyable. Therefore I must credit both Celegin and the TEA:CE team for an excellent mod.

Map Description

This map follows the same format as the original with the exception of extra objectives during the journey to Caras Galadhorn & a much larger goblin army. In terms of differences that's as much as I'm willing to divulge.

Here's a selection of screenshots
 
           
 
As for now there is only the singleplayer version available, this is due to several errors and time constraints regarding the co-op version. Nevertheless I hope you do enjoy the map and leave a review or some nice screenshots, thank you.

 

Right here are a few more screenshots, these could be considered spoilers.

And below here are a couple of notes regarding none/unfixable errors and general hints

Spoiler

1. You have to load the map twice or save the game in order to remove the double soundtrack error
2. Goblin army near the end of the level has a habit of running over cliffs and (at certain bridges) levitating over chasms, I have tried to remedy this but to no avail
3. Gandalf can be included by opening the map in worldbuilder, activating "Gandy Yes" and deactivating "Gandy No"
4. The game should be saved regularly, no particular reason you just might not want to restart the whole level
5. Trolls attacking Calas Galadhon like to hang around and then randomly charge
6. Elves are quite weak, this is on purpose so as to emphasize the use of the fellowship.

Gandy: no, co-op: 2.

[Bofur]

Same as Phil.

Right as always I've hit an map.ini error, I'm trying to change the sound which plays when certain powers are used so that I can play specific audio clips during a couple of cinematics.

Here's what I've got, according to the game I'm not allowed to change audioevents. If anyone knows of a way to get around this or an alternative method to produce my desired outcome then I'd be very grateful.

 

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AudioEvent GaladrielVoiceQueen

  Sounds        = GUGalad_voimove

  Volume        = 110

  MinVolume = 90

  Type          = world player voice

End

 

AudioEvent GaladrielVoiceVisions

  Sounds        = GUGalad_voimova

  Volume        = 110

  MinVolume = 90

  Type          = world player voice

End

 

AudioEvent GaladrielVoiceLight

  Sounds        = GUGalad_voiattb

  Volume        = 110

  MinVolume = 90

  Type          = world player voice

End

 

AudioEvent GaladrielVoiceDie

  Sounds        = GUGalad_voiselh

  Volume        = 110

  MinVolume = 90

  Type          = world player voice

End

 

P.s Is it possible to change the walking Cine_Elf model to the Rohan Elf Warrior model or texture?

What exactly does the error say? 
If its an parsing error there might be hope..

This is more like an starter point. I suggest you to download one of those custom maps with modified heroes.

Object CINE_Cine_Elf

ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01
  ; *** ART Parameters ***
  Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01_Override
    DefaultModelConditionState
      Model = [model name]
    End
 
    ModelConditionState  = [model condition state]
      Model = [actual model]
   End

   ModelConditionState  = [model condition state]
      Model = [actual model]
   End

  Below that all the animations states & modules

  End
End
End

It states this "You cannot define or override an AudioEvent in map.ini", which doesn't bode well in terms of my desires. So I suppose what I'm asking is there an alternate method to attach a .wav file contained in the mod.big to a particular power, object etc. in map.ini.

 

Thanks for the code above, I'll try and implement it.

 

Thanks for that code Thorongil it worked perfectly and it makes Caras Galadhon look at lot better

Right unsurprisingly I need testers for the singleplayer version of this map, anyone interested should send me a PM preferably containing their email as the map files too big to upload here.

Also I'd like to add that Gandalf isn't normally included in the map but through the activating and deactivating of two scripts he's integrated into the map, their are alternate versions of certain scripts to ensure that the map work perfectly both with and without Gandy

Here's a list of know problems for any testers, listed as spoilers for obvious reasons.

I cannot get rid of the Elven announcer when the barracks is built.
The galadriel cinematic is a bit shoddy but I had limit reliable assets.
Trolls like to hang around during the attack on Calas Galadhorn, but they do charge once the following wave arrives.

Here's a very basic walkthrough if for some reason your lost etc.

To remove the elven announcer, go to scripts, actions if true, then under the tab "interface" press enable or disable eva. The script should be then "Set EVA to be enabled FALSE".

[Fudge]

Oh my god, it was that simple after all this time..............

[MattTheLegoman]

Yes, I am ready to test it. =D

[Bashkuga]

Oh my god, it was that simple after all this time..............

Haha I know that feeling man .

[Fudge]

Right I've updated the main post because the singleplayer version of the map is now available for download, I really hope you guys enjoy it and come away feeling it did Lothlorien in TEA:CE justice as a more expanded map.

Just to get you interested here's a quote from MattTheLegoman after he played an earlier version.
 

It is a fantastic map and game! =D

 

Happy Christmas!

[Fudge]

Hey guys, I just wanted to find out whether or not any of those here who downloaded the map actually enjoyed it? Its simply that before I begin another project I want to know people's opinions on what they like in singleplayer maps and what they find tedious and annoying- a list of pros and cons would be excellent but not vital.

Oh, and happy new year!

Please give me some more time to make a video. ='O

Please give me some more time to make a video. ='O

What video?

[MattTheLegoman]

I will make a video highlighting the best parts.

[Fudge]

Aww brilliant, thanks Matt!
