I love what you did with the Elves and Haldir. Outstanding job keep up the good work.

Also, if anyone can tell me how to randomize heavy armor skins or why the Mirkwood Banner Carrier is using EA's original skins, that would be nice.

The reason why the Mirkwood Banner Carrier is still using EA's original skin is probably because the Mirkwood Banner Carrier is its own seperate object (elvenmirkwoodarcherbanner.ini), or you haven't edited the Banner Carrier Skin (eumirkban_c.dds).

As for the randomized heavy armor, it somehow doesn't work anymore in BFME2 ROTWK. It use to work in BFME1 all the time.

Love the skins for the Lindon Horse Archers. When I got ROTWK it look like EA just took the Rohirrim Archer Model and just slapped on the Rivendell Lancer Skin. And great job on the other skins, too.

I found out how to fix this awhile back.

Look in.

data\ini\commandbutton.ini

Find.

CommandButton NonCommand_SelectAllHeroes
; TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SelectAllHeroes
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:SelectAllHeroesDescription
End

And simply remove the ;.

So it looks like.

CommandButton NonCommand_SelectAllHeroes
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SelectAllHeroes
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:SelectAllHeroesDescription
End

It should work.

Ok, besides trying to recreate the Silverthorn Arrow effect through Renx, I decided to give it a shot at the FX Particle System.

Ingame (Galadhrim Warriors w/ the FX, compare w/ Lorien Archers)


It looks fine overall, but what only really annoys me is how it trails... Look below...


I don't really understand FX's...
