    Default WoT: We're struggling

    The WoT mod dev team is struggling. Andreas has unfortunately no longer got the time to do any work, and I don't have any time currently.

    It probably doesn't surprise you that I haven't done any modding for several months now, and I'm about to take temporary retirement from moderating the .org. This is because I just don't have the time.

    The torch; be yours to hold it high."


    This is a plea to anyone with modding ability. WoT needs help....

    Yes, even if I do not have the time to work with this anymore, and will not have in a very long time, I still support you, in everything you do and I really hope you will find modders who can do the work I previously did.

    Damn...

    Twice dawns the day when his blood is shed.
    Once for mourning, once for birth.
    Red on black, the Dragon's blood stains the rock of Shayol Ghul.
    In the Pit of Doom shall his blood free men from the shadow.

    Yep,

    We're drowning in work too.

    There are just too many good modders spread too thin. A wise course of action would be to complete 10 mods rather than have 100 half finished; but alas everyone wants to do their own...

    I am concerned that unless mergers occur much work will be wasted across the board.

    And a full-conversion non-historical mod is the heaviest work of all! Unless mods have a team of at least 8 dedicated members it is unlikely such projects will be completed any time soon (if ever).

    I like Wheel of Time and I would probably have joined had it not been for the Fourth Age. I do hope it does not fail. Even if the goals must be scaled down to a few factions. It is better to have a finished 20% than a 70% finished whole that can never be released. Have you thought about going provincial - i.e. focusing on a section of the map with a smallselection of factions, traits, etc...?

    I certainly am glad to see mods helping each other along, the recent case of AoVaF and Byzantium is just one example for which I was especially grateful. I greatly appreciate the huge amount of time people put in developing complete modifications but it should not be forgotten that reputations can be as easily made with smaller component parts which can then be used by others in personal games and compiled for larger public releases - the Mundus Magnus map, Darth Formations, various talent skin artists are just a few examples that leap immediately to mind. At some point (ie, not to drag this thread off topic) we should probably have a discussion looking back on the way the RTW modding community developed - where it went well, where it didn't, what can be corrected and what lessons can be taken for the future.

    I second Werthead. Personally, the WOT series has beocme quite boring for me, and I was hoping this would breathe fresh air into it for me.

    Sigh.

    I might be able to edit text files and skin a little with gimp. I don't have 3ds max though. PM me if you want me to help.
    School can get hectic so I don't know how much I'll be able to help.

    Sincerely,

    OK folks. It's a bank holiday tomorrow. I'm going to try to release a cutom battle pack with the work so far.

    The Whitecloak War awaits you!

    Here is a previously unreleased screenshot which was only for the Developers:

    Please please please continue with this mod Its such a good and solid concept. and your work on it looks great. a small release ( lol small in comparison to some but i know its still a huge ammount of work) for RTW would be great and would tide me over to MTW2 mod.
