Thread: ###UPDATED### WOLVES/WARDOG UNIT MINI MOD

    Icon6 ###UPDATED### WOLVES/WARDOG UNIT MINI MOD

    Hi there,
    I have made a small wolves mod for the OoG and OotMM fractions enabling them to train wolves using the models from Rome: Total War. They don't have handlers and are a shock troop type unit and their power is in the charge but once bogged down they won't last long. It was part of the Arnor & Gundabad units and events mod but that is taking time so I'm releasing some of my work early.

    UPDATED:
    -Unit rebalanced
    -Changed to handler unit so the animations now work
    -Less stuff in the modeldb file
    Still a small bug where the dogs stand after being killed by a special animation but far better than it was.
    They can be downloaded here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJ5I4N1J
    Download Instructions: Unzip the folder anywhere and paste the data folder in to your Third Age folder.
    To avoid any crashes it also might be an idea to back up your data folder.

    Pictures here (There are brown ones too) :

    Feel free to use in any other mod just make sure you rep me first and and ask if you can use them

    And remember there is room for improvement so feel free to leave any ideas and I'll do my best

    Hi first off.. great you made this for TATW.. i have suggested wolves for like 10 times in the suggestion thread haha.. so i think it's great +rep..

    i also have a few remarks which might improve it even further
    i think wolve packs should be a bit smaller.. i think 50 is already good.. you just alter it with the upkeep and training costs to balance it out again.. packs of 300 wolves is a bit unrealistic haha.. and perhaps also a small change to not have those gondorian man flying through the air.. that's only logical for large creatures i think..

    Yeah I probably will change the unit size, their defence stats are quite low so they might die quickly in smaller groups but I'll do some testing with them.

    And about the men flying in the air, I'm not sure I can remove that easily because the only way I can get the wolves to be on their own is for them to be set as elephant so it might be hard to remove. But I'll test with different stats and see.

    And if you use them yourself please say if you think they are OP or not, thanks

    well i'm going to try it out after my exams this week.. i really like the idea.. and they look nice to on the pictures.. just the packsize and the impact need to be changed a bit.. i believe the last can be altered by altering the strenght of impact..

    I have A level exams this week, I have chemistry tomorrow morning

    They might need a bit better animations too the ones at the moment are alright but the dieing animation because they are set as elephants when the dog goes to fall over he does it a bit suddenly. It's not that bad but it could be better. And I might redo the unit card. Also the Battle_Models file might have another unit I have made but there are no files for it. I hope that won't make a CTD otherwise I will have to find it, it all works for me though.

    Nice work Lord Uxbridge! +rep Always wanted wolves. I'll include them in my mod too, if you don't mind.

    About the men-flying thing, just remove the "area" thing, I think that's what causes it.

    Maybe, I want to remove any units that don't exist from the battle_models file first because I don't want people to get CTDs. Do you know if it would make a CTD if the only place a unit is mentioned is in there not in the EDU but there are no files for in??

    Sure, you can use them. But can you wait until I remove any random battle_models entries?? I'm worried about crashes in the game. I'll have to do it tomorrow though ASAP

    Unit coding is what I am best at, it should be fine. Are you any good at animation stuff.

    Yeah, he's quite good at that stuff. I would like to get good at animating and skinning. I'm trying to learn how to script events currently though

    For which mod are those events? Pm me about it.. and your other plans.. perhaps we can team up

    You should start with 1 specialism.. i believe alreadyded gives a mondeling or animation class i believe..
    Also many workshops and other courses..

    Great submod. This submod makes the OotMM and OoG more appealing. Thank you very much!
