the caravan ones must certainly have cards in game already..i think there were already such buildings in crusades campaign..anyway..here's a link that could help you with portraits for your mods..has plenty screenshots and a creatures subsection with close pics of shelob too

http://arwen-undomiel.com/images/creatures.php?page=1

for the rest i'll see i'f i can help with some of them,but i really can't promise you anything ..i'll have to learn how to do it first..if i understood right you want the crads that open when right clicking on a settlement,right ?

[Dutch-Balrog]

i don't see a download link, soo i guess that this beta is not for every1?

I need selection cards for buildings, the small ones you click to build it. I can just use the same image in a larger size for the "right-click" info screen.

It is a closed Beta, but almost anyone may join. As long as you are capable of leaving useful feedback, that is all I care about.

[Noobio]

i think i can do the water triplet..found some nice pics on the net..but fountains in an ord city wouldn't really fit..
same goes for statues..

anyway

does all this have to be generic or faction specific ?

[alreadyded]

I am fine with generic, anything is better than these Roman placeholder buildings and beggars can't be choosers.

As for Orc statues and fountains, I think they would have them, though they wouldn't be beautiful. Minas Morgul and Cirith Ungol both had 'scary' statues out front in their brief descriptions. I think the leechers and healing houses do not fit for the Orc's though. Maybe call it a "Spawning Pit" for the Orc's or something?

[Noobio]

"spawning pit" as in just a mud hole ?

regarding the statues maybe i could "mutilate" -ridicule the others' ones..maybe puting gargoyle heads instead of the normal ones..kinna like in the movie,where they have substituted one head with a junk metal thing

The same thing can also be done to fountains. Or they can just be black instead of white/gray.

the orcs' upgraded "pit"

[Dinoff]

thanks for having me in the group. i will test it out as soon as i can but real life calls when you feel the laziest.

[Bloodly]

Cirith Ungol had some freaky 'watcher' statues that also served as defence in the books. So there's precedent.

here are the statues...just .tga files..cleaned em of backround and processed em a bit to fit the lore..if someone has photoshop and knows how (i don't ..) he could process them a bit more ,in particular

-dwarf statue..give him a mask or broaden his nose a bit..and shorten/broad him in the dwarfish way (paint.net is a bit limited for this kind of features and i don't have time to start learning gimp right away) and maybe render a bit his legs in order to cover em with chain-mail (i tried using blemish with pixilion but i didn't like it)

-gondorian king..maybe cut the top of the helmet and make it look like the "empty" gondor feather crown (meaning , cut the helmet top and give him an evident top of the hair..like the guys working in fastfoods )

-dunland rod.. it could be changed as a bear totem in order to be also used for beornings faction (or with according changes for other forest-barbaric faction)

-desecrated statue..if someone can make it look good (and not like paint- ) i'd like a "burning eye" simple painting on the shield (and maybe a retouch of the blade's tip on the skull)

-bard the bowman and helm hammerhead statues,may look better (?) if with sepia effect (just the statue ,not the base)

- for all of them if you think is necessary, elaborate the textures/glows etc in order to give em the feel all other ingame pics have..just noticed i missed a few pixels when deleting backrounds-editing layers etc ..if someone is gonna use em ,take a look at them with zoom out in the chessboard canvas to spot them out

anyway i'd like to hear what you think..


ps
ded.. just saw that statues got a memorial upgrade..can't think of anything relative for depicting that..maybe "decorating" the statues could do the trick ?
-orcs statue..pile of skulls at the base and crows
-evil men..jewels-treasures and snakes (rohirim helmet and crows for dunland..mugs and a bear in the backround for beornings)
-good men and elves statues ...ribbons or that olive-crown they give at the olympics and an eagle
-dwarves ...jewels-treasures and eagle


or in order to make it more simple..1st level ,silver statues 2nd level gold ?

ps2
pics for portraits..(some need further processing,some not .. shelob/flame dragon/wolf suggestions included..others are for dunland or beornings..your call..if beornings photoshop their hair/beards into black)

http://www.2shared.com/file/WUg8cgCG/portraits.html

(some are of the same actors,as some people just grow a beard ,put on a wig and do their warrior stuff over and over again ..so pick the one you like the most..if you could find various metalheads' pics for variety's sake it could work too.. )

next upload > fountains and pits

till next time..

[alreadyded]

A lot of what you sent me looks really good Noobas, I am surprised you were able to do all that with paint.net . I will start improving them where necessary and coding them into the game. Thanks again!

[Noobio]

well..your sub-mod(s) looked like a great idea and i' d be glad to help ..maybe you should take a look at "turtle mod" in submods section too..it has some really nice ideas..like hobbits "can_hide_anywhere" EDU attribute etc..

[alreadyded]

I already added "hide_anywhere" to a couple assassin units and to the barrow wights, but yeah Hobbits should totally have it too. No clue why I didn't think of that .

[Noobio]

then take it one step ahead and lose em the "sea_fairing" one... hobbits hated water,they didn't even wash their feet
