UNFINISHED Barad-Dur and Bree for you to complete!

**Devils_Advocate** · March 13, 2013, 01:58 PM

Hi lads,
as I am not going to do any more modding on M2 engine I offer my unfinished settlements (Barad-Dur, Bree) to download and to complete by yourself. (The files remained untouched on my hd for more than a year now and they ain´t getting better)

You can get the files by sending me a pm (I try to be online more often to reply quickly). I am not being closefisted giving the files to you, but I try to avoid the (raw) settlement files getting spread over the net too quickly. So be a little bit serious about your attempt to finish the settlement(s).

Barad-Dur was never put into game, and the structures and textures are still to be improved and finished.
However, that´s the status quo:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The files you can get contain:
- one ms3d file including all structures and worldterrain (don´t worry, you can easily take the elements apart as there are a lot of groups)
- several dds files
- values (IWTE) for the terrain

As I said it is still a lot to do.

For Bree: I already put it into the game once, as I saw. Thus it can be made playable within an hour or so.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

(I don´t know why the pics have that "preview-style", I guess I wanted to release it but then forgot about it...

)

There are already all world and texture files created which are needed to put the settlement it into game. So it shouldn´t take much time to make it properly playable.
I started to make a lot of collisions (as much as vanila settlements include) in order to make Bree really burnable. Unfortunately that process is still far from being finished.

I will post the name of those members who started to work on a settlement in order to avoid others to give themself a shot on the same settlement (or to make people work together).

On it:

Agree

. To Epic to be left unfinished.

I hope it too! Barad-dur looks epic!

Very cool that you offer your unfinished work to have it become completed

I hope it'll be picked up!

Bree looks very nice! You have done good work with Barad-Dur

To anyone, maybe there should also be some hobbit houses too in Bree if there aren't any already?

I see a pratically finished barad dur. Wonder if the models are already mapped. It seems out of my skills.

As for its layout, I guess a second gate would not work, and the reason is explained here. Look for trebuchets.

Anyway it could work well with just the first gate, wich seems enough for me.

This are god and bad news in the same time. Good news because it mean two new settlements, bad ines as they will be no more settlements from you. If the only need for Bree is to implement the settlement in the game i can do it.

Barad Dur looks just freaking awesome, if I were Orcs I would concider letting Gondor get all the way to Barad Dur just to be able to play a battle here.
