Interesting

 

[Veritas 117]

I like the map. The ruins look nice indeed. Those trees though... not so much

 

[Seferantus]

Well, those are the standard wc3 tree's already saw some new ones I might gonna use.

 

[andreariona]

Sounds like an interesting project indeed.

This is optional, but maybe you can use custom trees and tiles instead, it'll made your project looks waaay better.

 

[Seferantus]

andrea, if ur able to provide some great tiles why not, and like i wrote there before i'm probably going to change the tree's, but right now I have to go for animations of the heroes they take most of the time, Aragorn has 70+ the others might just need the half of it but still alot of work.

 

[andreariona]

Well I could help with the tiles, what kind of tiles that you need? Also it would be better if you shown how the new trees looks like so I could bend the tile color with the trees so it doesn't looked off.

Or maybe you could look through this realistic stuff: High-Res Doodad Pack & Expansion
Just make sure you compress their textures since it's on full quality.

Uhmm what's 70+? 70+ hours?
Since this isn't cinematic I suggest you don't have to put alot of animations to save your time on animating each model.

 

[Seferantus]

70+ Animations, they're needed for our systems in the map to make it more unique,
and for the tree's i thought about using Fingolfin's 3 Oak models he done http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/oak-variation-1-a-255316/
And most of the custom tiles might have a high quality but ingame the edges doesnt seem to be that good thats why I haven't added custom tiles yet.

 

[andreariona]

Dayum, isn't 70+ animations per models is too much? What kind of systems require such thing?

And most of the custom tiles might have a high quality but ingame the edges doesnt seem to be that good thats why I haven't added custom tiles yet.

Well, if you had any texture file before and wanted to turned it into tiles, I could try to make it into tiles without edges.

I also had this forest tiles I use for upcoming project, although the green grass one isn't final (still had the psd. file so I could reconvert into 100% quality), I could share if you would like to.

Project is stopped right now since I have to do a plenty of requests for my mate, when i'm done with that I will let ya guys/girls know.

 

[Vinz]

Four heroes only?!

Oh well, hobbits are a hassle. It is very hard to do skillsets for them. Anyways, wish you well with this one. Does it need a sig?

"- 4 Players
(Will Increase with versions)"

So that means there will be more heroes to come, there only 4 because i need tons of animations for each of 'em, if you would've read abit the thread I noted that Aragorn as example got 70+ Animations for the used system we got there.

And yeah Hobbits, they will be added but i'm not quite sure about there skill-sets at all, they haven't done that much and using the same skill for each is kinda lame, might go for example Pippin and Merry as one Unit.


This map really consumes time just by Animating Heroes, but like I wrote I'm doing right now some requests for a mate which takes some time before I am able to start this project again.

 

[Vinz]

I read the thread a bit, up to that part.

Anyways, is that the sig you have? Can it be worn?

 

[Heinvers]

Nice project.

 

[Seferantus]

I read the thread a bit, up to that part.

Anyways, is that the sig you have? Can it be worn?

What do you mean with the Signature if it can be worn?
You want to use the picture I created as your Signature?
It has nothing to do with the project actually and uses one of my names so I dunno if you really want to use it lol.

 

[Vinz]

I thought it was for the project...


OT: The terrain tiles do not match imo, Sand + Lord Dirt. I suggest Grassy Dirt

 

[Seferantus]

Still have to create a banner/signature for the project, tiles might be changed anyway.

 

[Seferantus]

Project again in progress, finnaly done with the Requests.

For thoose who wanna check 'em out.

This looks promising , try going for the same feel as they did in the games , Battel for Middel earth is a good start.
For Aragon isn't it a bit early to give him oath breaker . He has reached that far in the story so perhaps you should make his skills more ranger like .

Well still in progress might change if we get a better idea for him.
