LORD OF THE RINGS : THE WAR OF THE RING

The old thread expired and I couldnt post anymore so I am making a new one.


This mod is based on the art of movies, mainly, though if we finish it and make scenarios we would like to make book content too.

People working:
-Josef_Bugman
-SUD_Commander
-Lonepadawan

Features:
-4 main War of the Ring time period civilizations: Rohan, Gondor, Mordor and Isengard, plus 1 aditional civilization: Dwarves of Moria
-6 other minor civilization sets: Bree, Lothlorien, Rivendell, The Shire, Minas Morgul, Osgiliath

Note: this mod centers more on the War of the Ring events other than the story of Frodo and Sam and their trip to Mount Doom, so there is no specific Frodo, Sam, Gollum, Shelob and others, though you can still make the fellowship journey (4 generic hobbits, Gandalf the grey, Aragorn ranger, Legolas, Gimli and Boromir as Gondorian soldier are present)

I don't think he should use Genied. It would create troubles switching between the mod and actual AoK.

I use Poser 4 and Bugman uses 3D Studio Max.
Kickchon, Poser is very user friendly you just have to load a figure, put clothes and things and push buttons to see what happens I learnt myself the basics of using it, and it's easy. The 3 basic things for mastering on Poser are:
1-You must have the proper items, downloaded from the net: www.renderosity.com, www.daz3d.com, and many others, just do a google, and there is also stuff in filesharing programs (I wont post anymore about this because it goes against the CoC)
2-Realistic textures, because flat color looks bad and cartoonish. I use real photos at high res if possible, I tweak the parts I want and paste them to the items in the figure with the help of a program that creates texture maps such as UV mapper (do google). I do some Photoshop on the textures and done.
3-Posing and animating the figure, this area is the one where I have the most problems, but it's still not very hard to learn here

Shadowflare: yes, we will use Genied, this way we can add some units we couldnt before

SUD, darn, spent endless of hours searching through the file database at renderosity. :S can you send some of the props you've used to me through msn/email? spetn4z@msn.com .

Increaseing the attack of a unit is currently impossible with genieedit2.

The attack displayed field, only changes the attack value that's displayed (when you select the unit) not its actual attack.

Witha little research its possible to change a units actual attack using DiGiTs decompression and compression programs.

Search for the unit constant, search for certain values, change those values, ect.


Alternatively, if you decrease the reload times for a unit, it will attack faster, thus causeing more damage in less time.

Good luck.

How could you exactly mod a female viliger into Arwen and Galadrieal with out changing both of them.
posted 06-16-04 05:29 PM CT (US)     16 / 34  
Because as this is mainly for Scn editor and not much for indiscrimnately playing the female sheperd animation can be changed to one standing unit and the repairer or anything else to other unit. The different villager tasks can be accesible in the editor with Genied

Er, The Nameless, I think some seraphs and angels are gunna be on your back about your signiture.

It makes too much of a political statement.

And a religious one for that matter.

And it's contradictory (Seek Athiesm, ask God for help? What?)


I command the defence of AOKH's Fortified Walls. This is why.
