RandomMonkey Posted November 20, 2003 Author Posted November 20, 2003 ... if you actually look at post you would see that it is WIP, and that were allready well under way. Plz do not patronize me for no reason
GothiX Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Post some pics of Moria then, so people can see it.
RandomMonkey Posted November 21, 2003 Author Posted November 21, 2003 good idea, I knew it was smart to have ya on the team here a link to some pictures http://lotrmod.web1000.com/maps.html (not sure if these will work for NON US user, theyve been having some truble. anyways heres some stufff.
Miko Reglia Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 woah that looks great for a moria map man, good work and good luck to your mod!
Zappa_0 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 LOTR is a good idea for an mod, I hope you all can pull it off!
wedge2211 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Be careful. Lord of the Rings has a lot of settings that would make for great duels or great hundred-thousand-strong-army battles, but not much in between. They can lok AMAZING, it's true, but gameplay and performance might suffer...as well as the fact that many maps couldn't be played properly with this game engine. Check out my reviews of Moria II and Helm's Deep (Darth.Hunter's...far superior to Nathan's in my opinion). Really...don't do Helm's Deep, the flow would be horrible. For only <32 players, though, you could have a lot of success in Moria, Amon Hen, Rivendell, Weathertop, Osgiliath...some great duel maps might be the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, the top of Orthanc tower, Weathertop, the pass at Cirith Ungol. Just some thoughts.
Wudan Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Yawn. Yet another LOTR mod bound for the Recycle Bin.
RandomMonkey Posted November 21, 2003 Author Posted November 21, 2003 thats not nice Wudan. Anyways, wedge, being one of the people who I look up to the most, I've already figured that problem out :S What I have been experimenting with is that with the new brush setup, and NPC abilityy in multi player, to have very detailed LOOKING maps, however alot of it being in shaders or textures. That way I HOPE to be able to get the sort of large scale armies required for a LOTR mod

Wudan Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 It's really too bad there isn't a warning label that comes with starting TCs. Part of the reason that there are sooooo many failled TCs is because it's very hard to make a good one - and most never get finished. I'm not saying you can't do it, it's within the realm of possibility that you could finish something. However, the odds of completing something that qualifies as a TC is sufficient enough to wager that Total Nuclear War among the nations of the Earth will happen before you release a TC.
RandomMonkey Posted November 22, 2003 Author Posted November 22, 2003 Ahh but the knowing US policy the chances of that are high
Eldritch Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Ugh. Your website needs a redesign - I need to talk to whoever your webmaster is. The Moria map needs a lot of work, too. The lighting is bad, and Balin's Tomb looks brand new, instead of broken down and crumbling like it did in the movie. It just needs more detail overall. Best of luck to you on this, but I'm inclined to agree with Wudan. I've seen a lot of LotR TCs come and go (a lot of LotR models, too). Just set achievable goals and keep working hard on it and you'll get there. Work with what you got, too. Don't say "Oh, we want to do something cool but we're waiting for the SDK" and bank everything on that. Just some friendly advice.
Bilbo Skywalker Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Good job the moria map looks amazing, very professional. Good luck with the rest.
RandomMonkey Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 hey eldritch I'm our webmaster . I dont even pretend to know much about web design or HTML. Any help would be greatly apreciated. I've seen yur site and know what you can do. If you'de email me at darksquirreldude@yahoo.com I'de appreciate it!

Andy867 Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 I agree with the comment on Balin's tomb and how it looks like it was just polished up, whereas it should look dusty, rundown.. Literally falling apart. Also, it looks to large in those pics from what I can remember. I know its not easy to just go and redo the size, but thats just my 2 cents.
Eldritch Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Redesign is done. It's all set to be put up - I just need the FTP information. Also, are your forums customizeable to the point where I can match their layout to that of the new website? Hit me up on messenger when you get a chance, Deathbringer.
Eldritch Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Just wanted to let everyone know that the new site is up at a new home - http://lotrMod.digi-phoenix.com
Tito Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Not too bad... Not too bad at all! Now, I'm not getting my hopes up for this MOD, seeing as I reckon it will take at the very least a year to complete! But good luck to you anyway! I'd love to see this get completed sometime!
Eldritch Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 DB is sending me some new screenshots to put up. As soon as I have them, I'll update the site.
jp-30 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Hindy's made a Gollum model which I've skinned. Once it's released Hindy might let you use it for your project. More info here; "WIP: Gollum"
