More power to you, please do report back your findings!
Well tbh, Frodo had a massive advantage when facing the impossible that we didn't: he had a book that 100% for certain ended in him winning.
But yeah, optimism is fun
Frodo Baggins was a fiction character. Things don't work like that in real life. The reason people say its impossible to make custom settlements is because it is. Modders don't have a tool to make custom settlement and even if they did it would take a lot of work and would most likely take months if not years to create.
That's a false statement some people are getting pretty close with third party software. So the truth is there is no "defeatist attitude." There could possible be Custom Battle maps like this. And maybe maps with these settlements on them!!!! It's just a matter of when, not how, when.
I don't see how my statement is false
Thats trueFrodo Baggins was a fiction character

And thats true. So what part is false?Modders don't have a tool to make custom settlement and even if they did it would take a lot of work and would most likely take months if not years to create
That last part....give me a moment.

And here's just some cool images of their cities. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=122992
well we never said that it's impossible and will always be impossible we were just saying we have no way of doing it for the time being and if anyone can figure out how to make it work that would be amazing but we never had a defeatist attitude here
But if CA released a tool. Would that solve the problem? There's still months left on this mod, correct?
those are only custom battlemaps...not sure they are working in a campaign. i believe many have tried custom settlement tiles only to get ctd. to produce the custom settlements you will need for this mod is currently "impossible" as there is no tool for it. with those settlements in those links, those are nothing more than buildings placed on a custom battlemap. if you look all the structures used in those custom battlemaps are all vanilla.

OK, the tool thing isn't a dead end. CA listens to it's players. They are very nice people. Again..do you think if we got a tool it would solve problem?:hmmm:
it would be a step. but i have my reservations about a tool, as there are other copyright issues associated with some of the file formats used by the engine. hence is why we have community created tools for the .mesh files. modders would still need to create these new settlements and test to ensure they would even work correctly ingame. it wouldn't even be a matter of adding new settlement models, but also the pathfinding and world files....as wolfslayer and Argantonio have done some work on these files. lots and i mean lots of work is required, even after a "tool" is created or released.

Bdotward, do you think Frodo didn't have reservations? Huh?! Did his reservations stop him?
as a modder, i'm just letting you know the obstacles involved

Good, we will feel all the better about ourselves when we cross them.
