TATW Unofficial patch 4.0

Mr.Jox did, AFAIK: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?187100-Jox25

That was my impression as well... I knew he had done the new longbeard dwarven units, but I really wasn't sure about the Orocarni dwarves.

[Araval]

I think Leo did them based on Mr.Jox' work.

The Orocarni dwarfs were created by me myself and no one else. As well as the banners.

I used pre-made models as base, I don't even remember who made them firstly.

90% of chance of me getting back to modding.

Besides the already proposed ideas, I dream about pelargir and grey heavens custom settlements.

I also had an incredible idea that could bring a revolutionary change in gameplay for TATW, and it is quite doable.

That's the best news I've heard in six months =)

Would you care to elaborate yet on this change? Maybe some of us can give you a hand with implementation.

If you need some inspiration, since the movies don't show a lot. Here's ArdaCraft's version of Mithlond:

Great to hear, what is that idear. Please sound really interesting.

[leo.civil.uefs]

Well, guys... One of the things I'm dealing with now is ambient buildings.

Yes I'm planning to implement random faction specific ambient buildings in battlemap.

The point is, there is something problematic. MORDOR. No matter what, any ambient building showing up in mordor would result bizarre (This is actually the reason why I removed them from the game. Remember the Monasteries?) The only buildings that would look natural inside mordor are orc stuff.

The problem is that as soon as a new faction conquers a Mordor territory, its ambient buildings will show up there. And it seems to be hardcoded.

Does anyone know if it is possible to prevent other factions' ambient buildings to show up in mordor? Or maybe another solution.

[nadalio]

what about do the same idea with custom tiles? Without make them visible on the campaign map and use slot resources? The battle map will be near specific point of interest and could be triggered by an rebel ambush or be secretly somewhere on the map?
An exemple:
-Create a battlemap for shelob lair. By campaign script will be spawn shelob with some spiders (with a locked status) that will attack everithing that will pass near in some turns.
-Similar idea for the path in mirkwood, where the player or the AI will pass.
-Camp or orc structures in Mordor
-Ruined village in enedwaith or rhudaur as custom tiles.
-Some caves or lair
There are a lot of possibilities, could be curious if custom tiles could be addressed via campaign script or missions, so the player will be direct to explore or find a certain place and controlling it for money or other reason.
Just some ideas, maybe they could work.

Sound interesting but never realised that existed��

[leo.civil.uefs]

For the love of God, can someone please send me a MS3D 3d model of one of my own dwarfs? I want the one from Western Dwarfs, using no helmet (mohican hair), and with a single handed axe.

I'm having serious problems with the modding tools.

[Araval]

Please don't put mohawks in your settlements.

[leo.civil.uefs]

Please don't put mohawks in your settlements.

LOL no, I'm just planning to replace the old statues, their textures look like crap.

[leo.civil.uefs]

Work is still in progress, guys, don't worry.

For now I've added the new settlements by Arkay, see here. DAC team allowed me to use them, but only after DAC release.

I'm working now in ambient settlements. Bringing back the vanilla ones (except monasteries), and also adding new custom faction based ones. Don't worry, each faction will get it's proper ambient settlements.

Not sure how long it will take for me to finish the next version of my submob, I'm too busy playing CUPHEAD right now.
