Middle Earth: Total War

mate, before this brings on the wrath of the builders, I'd advise you go to the first post and check out the website...

The developers are very very clear that the films are NOTHING to do with the mod. And no,they won't be talking to new line.

And btw, it's a Middle Earth mod, not a 'historical' LotR mod.

Don't want to be snippy, but it's all there and I know the developers sometimes tire of hearing this stuff.

Having said that, how excited am I? About as excited as you. this seems to be the most ambitious mod ever...

Hats off

Yes, I think we're all excited http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

So come on 'down to the ME-TW (Middle Earth - Total War) forums right Here

Go to the official News Updates section to download. The previous downloads have been for MTW 1.1 Any future releases will be on MTW VI 2.01 ( I dont think the version of MTW VI matters, patch or not)

I would think not.. you don't bust your ass this much over something (and this looks like quite an endeavor) and then crap out in the middle of it. Throwing in the towel usually happens when it's ten-percent of the way through.

The rumors came into existence as I almost throwed in the towel. The first beta is 99% my work, and I was getting tired of the many discussions but little progress. I was also putting way too much time into it and I got a kind of METW burnout.

However things have improved much, the ME:TW - Team has attracted new members who are doing astonishing jobs Sadly Helper also left (who was a good guy in every way).

I must say that the progress is not as fast paced as in the early days but it is steady and a lot more trustworthy then before.

Cheers, Duke John

Topic unpinned
You should the progress of this mod on the ME:TW forum. The community there is much more active concerning ME:TW and you really should go there if you want to keep updated.

Duke John

If there is going on so much work, maybe its time for a new mini beta, with a new play able race for custom game?

Hello
I have been playing M:TW for a year now and it has been the best game i have played on the pc. Recently i herd of the mod for it called ME:TW this was very good news to here because i am a big LOTR's fan and mixing it with M:TW is a great idea. I have been practising modin and reading about it and i am willing to lend a hand to the mod if there is any help needed. I hope that it is going well and there will be more out in the future keep up the great work http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif

Hi Tom, If you are interested in the Mod and wish to help we are currently looking for someone to help with a specific modding job. Come along to the METW forums and have a browse in the official news updates for info.

http://www.metw.net or use the link DJ posted above

many thanks - hoggy

i have heard that some one could do it with VI is i true or are they just lying to me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/angry.gif

i want an answer http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif I must know http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif

I don't have a clue what your question is... Could you please make it a bit more clear?

He's saying hes heard rumors that the mod works with VI, and wants to know if they are true. Simple enough to get even through his broken English.

Ok... I assume it will be made for VI, as it's easier to mod in that version, if it's not necessary anyway. VI gives more room for modding things, so most mods are for VI.

ME:TW is for Viking Invasion.

Correction: the released beta-files are for MTW1.1. But the development for the final version is made for VI.

I'd love to help out in any way that I can. I don't know how to edit graphics sadly, but other than that I'm game. I do know quite a bit about Tolkien lore. If you don't need anybody else, keep up the great work. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif

hay are they going to do this for RTW it would be pne of the greatest sights i ever seen http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...evalcheers.gif

Howdy folks, We're currently looking for someone to join the METW dev team. We need someone with alot of enthusiasm and free time and a reasonable understanding of modding for MTW.

The job is very specific, several units including the dwarves, orcs, snaga and olog-hai have been built in 3D, animated and rendered ready to become BIFs. What we need is someone to take the frames of animation and, using Unitmaker, turn them into BIFs usable in game. It would also mean weapon placement and creating all the files neccesary to assimilate these units into the build of METW. The job would also involve creating BIFs for new units as they are created.

It is a big and labourious job so please don't apply unless you are sure and have a good idea of what the job entails.

Many thanks - hoggy

Bif placement is not a thing for me, so I'm afraid I cannot help. However, since this thread is no longer stickied, it's easy to ignore, and there those who think this mod dead. Think you could prove it not so if some screenshots of the models were shown to generate interest. Surprise is one thing - but I think excitement is more worth it.

Anyone who wants more info on the mod should head to the METW Forum, that's where we post updates & screenshots, answer questions, etc.

Glad you lads are still working on this mod I love the book and from a child dreamed of playing war games which covered this topic
It may be a long time before you finish ,but it will be well worth the wait,not a lot of know on modding done a few new units etc altered some bifs but if you want any testing doing I have the time http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...c-computer.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/barrel.gif
keep it coming

really looking forward to when this mod comes out
keep up the good work guys it looks great
