Third Age Total War 4.0 unofficial Patch. - Offer your stuff.

[leo.civil.uefs]

As the title says, Im planing a 4.0 unofficial Patch.

It will be a sub-mod and does not concur with vanilla.

I know there is a lot of sub-mods made by people who is still waiting for King Kong, so I think its time to unite our work and relase a more complete pack.
This thread is for sub-modders who want to join the project to offer their already done work or work in progress stuff to be included in the patch. We all already know what is available and who are the owners of the stuff, so I invite these ones to manifest themselves and offer their stuff.

This thread is not for suggestions, ideas or discussion, please do not post things like "I think it should be like that..." or "I want it like this...". DO NOT FLOOD THE THREAD. Do not ask for things you would like to see made and do not tell about sub-mods that should be included. There is a suggestion thread, or even the sub-mod threads. If you're a modder and want to offer stuff, post it. If not, PLEASE DO NOT.

Please write your post with bigger fonts, i can't read it, it's too small, especially the quoted part.

As always, the community interested in helping and beeing positive.
Thats so exciting, makes me more inclined about modding.
Keep on, that will surely help us in accomplishing a new patch.
Ive changed the font size, for your pleasure. Anymore ask?

I plan to finnish my music submod by the end of the summer. It's being made for vanilla TATW but if more factions and regions will be included in 4.0 I can add them. It will have only LotR and The Hobbit music so I'm not sure if it can be included in a semi-official release of TATW because of copyright laws.. 90% of tracks will be edited if that makes a difference.

It really depends on what country the downloader/player is from. My own country as other rules as e.g. USA. I can download and play the music, but i have to make sure that noone except me hear it! It can also depend on the uploaders country!
I don't know the exact rules in other countries, but i think if you state - like ppl do on YouTube - that the music isn't yours and you have no rights over it, you can't be sued by any company but can be told to remove the files. You need to check that out before you publish...

But yes, please come with some new map and battle music

My country allows piracy but I'm not sure if TWC allows copyrighted music... I'm not even half way done so I'll come back to this thread when I have something to show.

If they don't allow copyrighted music then the Third Age mod would have to be taken down, as there is some music from the films in the game.. or at least there appears to be.

Feel free to add my Dale armor upgrades.

Could you add mank's supply mod as standard?

I would like to nominate my map for inclusion, I believe it offers a dramatically improved experience over the vanilla map.

Some reasons why:
- Middle-earth climate overhaul, with the golden trees of Lorien, or the Brown Lands, with many fixes throughout the other climates (including rain in Moria in winter).
- Improved pathfinding, this map has gone through 6 patches now, improving AI and pathfinding continuously. It was designed from the start to offer a better experience in this regard.
- Fixed up Fellowship Campaign, the vanilla 3.2 version was buggy and unable to be completed. I have fixed numerous bugs, including actually letting the player complete the campaign.
- Includes the 2.0 version of the new settlements already
- Fixed Battle CTD's for many people, ending the need for people to delete descr_geography_new which ruins the climates for TATW.
- Lore-accurate, in geography, settlement placement, naming and more.
- Simply far more immersive, feels like Tolkien's world a whole lot more.

For modders, it has an expanded map (more settlements) already included, and is a stable base to build onto as well as easy to merge with (a modders pack with edits only is now included).

I vote for Firefreak's new map to be included too. It is a lot cooler than the vanilla map plus the Misty mountains work better in Firefreak's map. The Misty mountains in vanilla are a pain in the arse to walk through. An ideal unofficial 4.0 version would be MOS in firefreak's map plus some goodies.

You guys feel free to include my submods if you want to.

+1 MoS+ DaC map = TATW 4.0

Any news on this thread?

[leo.civil.uefs]

The only new is that judging by the amount of contributions, there will be no 4.0 patch.
Not blaming people as the biggest stuff would come from me, wich would include new units (beornings, troll rocktrowers etc.)
But as I dont know how to mess up with such stuff and the people I guessed that could help me gave me no answer a all, Than I guess this project is dead.
Not a tragedy at all as my settlement enhancement sub mod is almost finished.

don't give up and don't abandon the idea, I'm not a modder so I don't have anything to offer you, apart from my useless support , still I think you should keep on. Imo, the reason why people didn't gave such a big feedback is because last TATW 3.2 was released more than 1,5 years ago, so in the meanwhile modders got occupied with other projects.

Have fait

[T&D]

I and other unit creators are offering TATW BUS submod.
