Looking forward to it.

MTW is my favourite game, and all these mods have made playing it an entirely new experience.

All the best.

HELP WANTED!

Calling for all able modders in our team:-

Map Makers
Concept Artists
Campaign Modding
Unit Modding

If u're interested, pls send me a private message or reply to this topic.

Thankyou,
Aenarion

Map makers and concept art eh? I'm busy as **** and I have prior commitments to Ilsamiren wars. I did some work recently for the Fall of Rome mod where I re-lettered the campaign map to match the province names. With some spelling errors I bashadly admit.. twice. :oops: I made a copy of the map without text basically and made it as seemless as I could. See https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b...leaned-map.jpg

Yesterday I was musing that it would be entirely possible to create a new map by snatching and rearanging elements from the original. That is a crazy amount of work though, don't even ask me until summer. The point is that this map http://www.tolkiens.net/bilder/kart/beleriand4.jpg is totaly doable. There are a few sharp mountains in the map but I think they are mostly covered in snow. I havn't tried to make new provinces yet. As well I don't know what is involved with the minimap. Also, you'd need a new map for the campaign selection screen.

If I know what's good for me I will focus on school but I might be able to offer you help some time in the far off future (summer). As I said too, Ilsamiren wars has priority.

Anyways, the reason I came in here was to ask when or if you think you'll have a playable version. Well?

Playable u mean the campaign map? Of course! Everything shall be modded from top to bottom ... leaving none out.

Hope I answered ur question!:juggle2:

Thanks,
Aenarion

So you don't have a beta yet?

Yes and No . Lets just say the beta is not yet ready to be released.

Someone help this mod, please. It looks so awesome...

Aenarion is it anyone else than you who is working on this mod?

If you need help with the camp map or those faction files I might be able to help you but not soon.

Thanks guys. So, Radier to be honest with u, I am the only one working on this at the moment, because the others seem to have left everything.

NodachiSam, thanks for ur help. I shall ask u further on for any help that I need.

Otherwise than that, I'm still on it and I'm not going to let go!~:)

Thanks,
Aenarion

I am supporting this mod idea, but PMTW and MIddle Earth TW for MTW take my whole spare time :dizzy2:

Thanks for ur support cegorach1. Although, it's difficult to work only as one person... heh ...

I know it myself. Good luck !

Thanks cegorach1! :) **sry for very late reply!** :/. It's been quite a long while since I have posted any updates or any kind of post. It's that these two months are going to be very busy, but after that I am sure to put my feet down and work hard to finish this project.

Pls, if there are any modellers or map makers, pls contact me by PM. You can even do it now since I would definately read your PMs.

Thank you,
Aenarion

Just a short note please:- I have been promoted to administrator on our forums, so if anyone would like to contact me regarding the mod pls feel free to do so.

Good to hear that this thing is still alive :)

Ok, ehum, so ... well it's been quite a while since a bit of updates from the mod and I'm sorry for this, it's because we are only two in the team, and still we are currently looking for help.

So here is another request. HELP NEEDED in MAP MAKING, CONCEPT ART and UNIT BIF MODELLERS. If you can help in any of these, please CONTACT ME.

Ok, so after that request, I leave you with a major update in which involves the development of the campaign map.

Alot of things still have to be added, such as mountains; but everything shall be put, don't worry!;)

Here goes with a screenshot of the campaign map so far:-

Credit goes to NodachiSam for his continuous work on the campaign map.

That's all for now,

thanks,
Aenarion

It´s good to see you´re still around.

Looks great i am sorry i dont now how to mod and i dont now if it is easy to learn ? i wish i could mod then i would help with a lot of mods

Very Impressive!

I wish I could help in some way. But, I'm no artist :shame:.

Yes it looks great. Keep this work up. :2thumbsup:

Thanks alot guys for your support and complements! :bow:

For all those who say they can't help because they can't mod, may still join our forums and contact people they know who may mod. Like that you would still be helping in our mod!:2thumbsup:

Anyway, just another screenshot. This time a closer look to a section part of the whole map, i.e. the Bay of Balar. Here it is:-

Thanks,
Aenarion

Thanks for the comments on this :) We are still working on this and making progress. The map part is almost done I'm extremely happy to inform you. Also, if you want to help someway, I'm sure there is room for that.

If you're interested in modding you can look for online tutorials and poke around in the text files you can start to play around with things. So even if you don't have much artistic skill there is still stuff that you can do. For instance there is playtesting, as well some of the langauge localization (the so called "loc" files) files are pretty straight forward.
:2thumbsup:

I hope you guys keep an eye out for this :D

We do. ~;)

I back-up all NodachiSam has said. All you need to do is send me a PM and tell me what would you like to do.

We also need Concept Artists. So if anyone knows how to draw (figures or just sceneries; even both!) just send me a PM aswell.

Thanks Radier for your support!

Thanks, :bow:
