Have you modelled at all before or not?
Have you modelled at all before or not?
I have not from scratch. But I have used other game engines to make my own armors and looks, etc.

Have you got 3ds max?
If so, then check out some of the guides in the Scriptorium under buildings and units.
We certainly need more modellers and so if you can it would be of great help.
I don't have 3ds max. I'll go download it and mess around with it and read the tutorial on how to model. I'm willing to do whatever you guys want.
cdaulepp
Okay I have it. What do you want me to make first?

Well, if you want to be a memeber of the team, you could ask for that from Myrddraal and get the team board password and that... much better way to handle it:)

Glad to have you on board cdaulepp... did I already say that? oh well -

After playing with the 3d modeling tool it looks more difficult than I am wanting to do. It looks beyond my abilities.
I have a question for you. I see that there are tons of other mods that have already been made using the Rome: Total War engine. Do you think you could download some of those mods and take the work that others have already done (the modelling for example) and then just change the skins on those models. It seems like that would be a good way to save you a lot of time. Have you thought about doing this?
cdaulepp
As a member of a mod, I really don't think that that would be an option. You would have to get permission from not only the skinners, but also the entire mod team, and it would be unlikely that too many would agree.

Definately not something I think any mod wants to do or have done to them. It's all about creating your OWN content
No!
The WoT will contain only its own models
If you find modelling hard, but you can skin, thats not a problem. I have two unskinned models currently on my list of things to do...
I know this is a dumb question, but how do I unlock other factions? I've played the Julii and I only have 5 other factions available. What do I do to unlock all of the rest of the factions so I can play the egyptians, for example.
I've never done skins before so I don't know how. The work I did before was much simpler than using 3dmax 7.0.

Please, ask questions like this in the General Modding forum...
This is the WoT subforum, see my SIG.
To answer your question though, open up Data/world/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt
Here you'll see a list of playable, non playable and un-lockable factions. Move all the factions except slave and senate to playable.
Hope that helps.
Actually, you can move either slave or senate to playable too, or both, but you have to have on non-playable or there will be too many.
...and the senates is bugged.
But still, as Myrddraal said, keep this topic about the mod. General questions int he general modding forum, and team memeber stuff in the team member topic.

At the bottom of the page there is a drop down list
Select the cut off date to the beginning and more will appear.
Sorry about the delay of the Demo, the reason is in the IMPORTANT info thread...
How are you going to use BI futures in this mod.
For example will you give all factions the ability to fight civil wars (In BI only rome can do this)
A good idea would be to just give the trolocs and the Aeil the abillites to form hordes.

Since the civil wars require one more faction as far as I've seen, no.

I was very excited to see this mod in development due to I collect all the Wheel Of Time Hardback books and have red each up to book 10 (I think 10) at least 5 times and with the recent release of the new one this mod is eagerly anticipated by me.
Now my questions are:
I tried to check your website but it is down, do you have another link?
Will some factions be led by forsaken? I would love to play a forsaken or a Chosen.
And do you have any updates or hints on when this could possibly be released?
Thanks for doing this.
The Shadow in the rand era willbe led by a chosen yes...
And we will not say any date, as that can change regarding on what we have to do that are more impoartant then this (yes, there is such things:))

How's the modelling coming along? Have you had time to get some done? Other than modelling is there anything else you have to finish?

I would add the Melkeri and perhaps the Domini and Tarboners to this as Though their nations are being ripped apart they are holding out.Originally Posted by Destroyer of Hope
Well, Malkeir apperantly did not hold out, eh? And the other two antions can ahrdly be called that, they are more.... rebels. Borderlands might get it, but no others besides shadow and aiel.
cdaulepp: Most of the models are done, the text files are done. We have some 2D art to do, and some scripting... and models, then.

its the models which are slowing us, and like I said, I'm finding it hard to get time to do them...
Another long-time observe offering well-wishes
I've been lurking as a non-member at the Org for several years, and I've been following this mod since it was for MTW. It's very pleasant to see so many people involved in this, as the WoT universe has great potential for Total War and this mod has some excellent ideas
Good luck, and looking forward to the demo,

Really? WowI've been following this mod since it was for MTW
I really liked the map I made for MTW back in the day. I used to have hours of fun sending my Trolloc hordes (Urban Militia ) south to crush the borderlanders and sweep across the Caralain Grass. I used to get stopped by Andor most of the time, but I usually managed to eliminate the White Tower and the Borderlands. Those were the days.... even though I didn't have any new unit graphics, the map was good. I'll see if I can dig it up from wherever I lost it to show you people some pics.
Right, that's enough reminiscing, we'll endeavor to make the RTW version even better.
Heheh. I was actually quite disappointed when you announced the MTW version was shelved (since I didn't have RTW then) but if the preview materials so far are anything to go by, you guys are definately making the RTW version much better.
Good luck again,
Antagonist

Just found out about the mod today. Sounds very exciting. How's it coming along?
