Return of the LOTR Mod

[bearclaw]

Great news! While looking over an old laptop I had pushed aside and forgot about, I found oodles of notes and maps and such that I had done for this mod! Huge leap forward. With this new found gold mine, I've got approximately 7 maps complete. Out of a total of 35 though, I've still got a way yet.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back on this project.

Great to hear that, from what I read this project looks interesting. Is there a demo coming ?

[bearclaw]

I hadn't concidered one before, but I think I can get something by Thursday-ish. No promises but I'll see what I can do.

Awesome! It's nice to see that someone is still posting in these forums. Maybe a new MOD will get more people to post here again! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'm looking for some pics for this mod, but my graphic abilities are lousy. Anyone want to help in this? I'm still working on maps right now and what I'm looking for are:
-round doors (hobbiton)
-walls, doors, decor that would work for Rivendell.

I will need some other things in the future (Nazgul, Golum, etc.) but right now I'm still developing the terrain and tile files.

Thanks.

Well, I can't help you with the gfx (I'm not into pixel art http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ), but you might try graphics from civ2 mods, there are a few lotr mods, and they might contain a few things you could use. Unfortunately it uses a little differently sized tiles, so you can't copy directly, but I still use it for my ww2 mod http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .
