BALROG with more FIRE -SUBMOD-

[Dea Paladin]

Firstly Id just to say that King Kongs work on the Balrog is stunning. I didnt think it would be possible. Models and textures are great. Big round of applause for King Kong.

BUT one thing that dissapointed me was that it was so "black".. not as firey. Of course fire cant be(from what I know) added to models. But id expect some more of those cracks at least So I decided to do it myself.

So I added more of those lava cracks, added abit of red here and there, added some white to the sword-to get that really hot glow feeling- and added some glow on the horns(coming from the mouth).

KK didnt really like this idea because it was such a small change and he thought it was unnecissary but he said that it was okay for me to release it.

Ill just post here to see what all of you think, and If you like it ill upload.

It would help if you posted screens from both versions so we could see the difference.

Looks good. Can't really see the new sword, but I love the glow effect on the horns.

[Dea Paladin]

Oh my.. your right. You cant really see the sword.. Ill update with a new picture

[Cruciarus]

Nice.

[Seleukos_I.]

Looks nice but I guess you'd need KK's permission for this.

I don't think he needs permission to show his work, no?

It's far from released.

Stating the obvious is completely unnecessary.

[King Kong]

just that you know: he also has permission to release it.

But the before-after screens are not really accurate, since the Balrog in 1.4 looks different than your picture. Maybe you should show both in-game and under same circumstances.

If you want it then ill upload.

I don't think it's that far from being finished. And I just mentioned it because I've already see a submod being closed because of the lack of permissions.

Sorry missed that.

Hmm.. yes ill do that

[GatorMarine1833]

Very nice, please do release this

Looks good, not over the top or anything. The lava lines on the wings would look better if they were asymmetrical imo.

[Ministry]

Why can you have glowing effects with torches in armies but not with swords? Seems odd the effects are in the engine but perhaps cannot be bound to a sword.

The wings should remain black imo

The wings should remain black imo

Yeah, the Balrog's "wings" are supposed to be shadow spreading wide like wings. I wish we could somehow add a shadow effect around the Balrog (and also around the Nazgûl).

[Alphonse]

Perhaps I am un Edumacated, but wouldn't adding fire to a balrog be something simaler to a unit being burned alive?

I think screenshots need to be updated

Plus, the second screenshot doesn't load correctly when you open up the spoiler on Mozilla ; one has to remove the /spoiler part for the link to work. I sincerely hope your modded Balrog HAS a sword, not like on this screenshot
