Updated Name Verifier

[Ivniciix]

What does it take to add audio, specifically pre-battle speeches, to a faction? I've got the tools and experience to create them I'm sure but I'd need to know the format you need them in.

[tornnight]

Ohh thats simple. Mp3 format. Good voice acting/recordings are the hard part.
I bet the Xenophonia guys would love some help. I'll try and integrate their stuff into TLR eventually. Maybe as an addon.

[Ivniciix]

If that's all it takes, then no problem. The only question would be the scripts - what you want said. If Xenophobia is working on this, I'll check them out too. the fun part would be scripting them to reflect the commanders traits. Is that possible as far as you know?

Yikes!!! I did a "xenophbia" search and got all this political crap. Can you point me to those guys?

[tornnight]

Here it is.

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=256

I'm not certain if they are actually adding new ones, but they are 'localizing' the voices.

[tornnight]

Updated Name Verifier again.

[Averroës]

Great work, thanks Acegogo!

If you're working on more events, see my post in the bug thread about an duplicate event I encountered. I haven't hadtime to go looking for it yet.

[kepper]

Great work TLR is came back for the land of death
Any word form Conde or form Tor.

[ReichMaster420]

awesome stuff, dl now cant wait to see

edit: very nice i love the new changes youve made, its refreshing

there is one things though, in the grand campaign world, parts of the minimap in bottom left corner has cut off some of moors, portugal, irish, isles ,etc

ive been trying to fix by installing old files, but i cant find the right ones to replace..

just thought id mention

[acegogo]

hey guys I could do with a bit of feedback????

or did you all just thought is the best ever and it couldn´t in any way improve!!!!

@reichmaster420

???? I am not sure that has to do with gfx, I´ve never encountered. are you sure it has happened since you installed TLRaced????

[kepper]

I love the simboles i am wait for the new´s flag´s, and the other big improvamentes make more

[acegogo]

thanks

[Averroës]

It's very well done, Acegogo.

One of the splash screenseven made my jaw drop in amazement. It was 3 knights with huge ornamental helms, like several Teutonic knights. The image reminded me of the great film, Alexander Nevsky, and the massively ornamented helms of the Teutonic knights in that film. Very nice.

[acegogo]

they are all taken from screenshots, all in game although some are from Kingdoms

[ReichMaster420]

@reichmaster420

???? I am not sure that has to do with gfx, I´ve never encountered. are you sure it has happened since you installed TLRaced????

im pretty sure yeah, i had done a fresh install of TLR yesterday and had forgot to add the gfx, then installed it again and it had cut off some of the map

its ok i guess, i just cant see some of the mini map in campaign, i can still scroll through to the moors etc on the camapign map

edit: heres a screen

[acegogo]

from the screenshot you have sent I can tell you have´t got the TLRaced extesion, because I modified the ingame interface.

I don´t want to sound obvious but maybe you should:

install m2tw
install 1.2 patch
install tlr+gfx addon (this one comes with TLR 2.0)
then install TLRaced.

[Acroneos]

Cant download the Name Verifier!
