LOTR Campaign/Mod

Well, I have finished the Hobbit hole, and I am going to have that in game and onto another model as soon as Korgath finishes his tutorial, or till I get KMK's exporter to work. Anyway, be on the look out for updates.

k33p the g00d work coming whos your staff?:confused:

Heaven-Maps, some triggers, voice
Klintel- skins, voice
Triknight-main trigger person, cinematics, voice
Me- Models, some skins, voice, design, and of course, management.

And whoever else want to join...

Actually, in the Dutch translation its Bombadil. You just have to make sure u use the spelling of one version (like English for example)

Klintel misspelled it as well, heh, though got a lot closer than 'Lombardi'. LOL!

In the English translation it's also Bombadil.

Care.

Hi all,

Of course, this is just MY interpretation of how the series would go:

Campaign 1: The Fellowship of the Ring

Cinematic - Gandalf and Frodo at Bag End, the plan.

Cinematic - Gandalf captured at Orthanc

Scenario 1: Journey to Bree: Heroes: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin
-Event: Flee/ Hide from Nazghul
-Event: rescued by Tom B, discover weapons
-End Event - arrive in Bree, meet Strider

Cinematic: Gandalf escapes Orthanc

Scenario 2: Flight to Rivendell: Heroes: Frodo et al, Strider
-Event: attack by Nazghul
-Final Flight to Rivendell
-End Event - The waterfall

Cinematic: Arrival in Rivendell, Reunion with Gandalf
Cinematic: The Council of Elrond, Formation of the Fellowship

Scenario 3: Cadrahas Mountains: Heroes: too many! Maybe make Merry and Pippin into generic hobbit units?
-End Event - way is blocked

Scenario 4: Mines of Moria: Heroes: same
-Event: Discovery of (Balin??)'s tomb
-Event Orcs attack
-Event: Flight from Balrog
-End Event: Loss of Gandalf

Cinematic: Lorien

Scenario 5: The Breaking of the Fellowship: Heroes: same sans Gandalf
-Event: fall of Baromir / capture of Pippin, Merry
-End Event: Flight of Frodo, Sam

Campaign 2: The Two Towers (starts to get sorta messy since the plot splits into about 3 timelines)

Cinematic: Merry/Pippin escape, meet Treebeard

Scenario 1: Assault on Isenguard: Heroes: Merry, Pippin, Treebeard

Cinematic: Return of Gandalf, Rousing of Theoden

Scenario 2: Battle of Hornburg: Heroes: Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, Theoden

Cinematic: Frodo, Sam tame Smeagol

Scenario 3: Marshes of the Dead: Heroes: Frodo, Sam, Gollum

Cinematic: Frodo meets Faramir

Scenario 4: Shelob's Lair: Heroes: Frodo, Sam
-End Event: loss of Frodo

Cinematic: Gandalf / Pippin depart for Minas Tirith
Cinematic: Riders depart

Campaign 3: Return of the King

Cinematic: Aragorn leaves Riders

Scenario 1: Paths of the Dead / Pelargir: Heroes: Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas
-Event: Aragorn solicits the dead
-Event: Aragorn captures the fleet

Scenario 2: The Elven Warrior: Heroes: Sam (might be neat to have at least one single Unit scenario)
-Event: Rescue Frodo

Cinematic: Riders meet Ghan-buri-Ghan

Scenario 3: Ride of the Rohirrim: Heroes: Merry, Theoden, Eomer, Ghan-buri-Ghan

Scenario 4: Defense of Minas Tirith: Heroes: Gandalf, Pippin
-Event/Quest: Rescue Faramir
-Event: Fall of the Gate
-End Event: Arrival of the Riders

Scenario 5: The Battle of Pelannor Fields: Heroes: Gandalf, Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Merry
-Event: Fall of Theoden, Fall of the 1st Nazghul
-Event: Arrival of Aragorn (& Gimli, Legolas)

Scenario 6: Mount Doom: Heroes: Frodo, Sam
-Event: Death of Gollum

Scenario 7: The Black Gate: Heroes: Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Eomer, Pippin, Gandalf
-Event: the messenger
-Event: Arrival of the eagles
-End Event: Cinematic: destruction of the ring, routing of Sauron's forces

Cinematic, cinematic, cinematic, cinematic....

Please excuse my spelling (don't have my books with me). For an excellent timeline of LOTR events, check out:

The big question of course is which parts of the book warrant an entire scenario. There are some huge parts of the book that simply might make boring scenarios. And then there are some major battles (ie Aragorn's capture of the fleet) that aren't described in too much detail, thus giving you more freedom to shape the scenario.

There are also a lot of questions on how to order the scenarios since many occur simultaneously or are "dependent" on the outcome of each other.

At any rate, those are just some ideas. Feel free to use any/some/all/none of them. I do recommend that perhaps you and your team should layout all your scenarios and script them out before diving into development.

Nice, maybe you want to join the team?? Check out

http://www.lotrmod.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi

yes we need to lay it out a bit better as of now people are working on models/skins. So not too much thought has been put to every scenario.

Hey Triknight,

I think your other board is having problems.

I tried to register but never received the confirmation via e-mail.

Only two more tributaries to go on Brandywine, then it's on to the Old Forest. Or maybe I'll lay the roads first.

Just letting you know I'm still working on this (Arcuivie!).

Care.

Gambit: I'm having a little problem with that, the only time you get one is when I go in and send it manually...

Heaven: All right!

hey, just asking, but do you guys need any help? i can do triggering, especially movies. i suck at terrain. i can do most skinninng, but no modelling. i also know how to implement .blps, .mdxs, and sounds. yeah, so i can help minorly (is that a word?)

Join the board http://www.lotrmod.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi and well talk about what you can do. It would probably be good to get another person. Right now Arcuvie is modeling and skinning. Join the board and will talk more. :gsmile:

There are a few more spots to be filled on the team:
Custom, not edited, model importer.
Custom Bone Creator
Custom Animation Creator
Custom Spell/Ability Creator (Animation/Attributes)

We may also need a couple more mappers, because this thing is going real slow with only one mapper, and one who is taking a little holiday. *glances over at Heaven*

I'm going to start on the site layout tonight, and work throughout the night since I don't have school tomorrow, and start getting some captures from the movie for skins tomorrow.

hey, i was gonna just start playing around with custom abilities. i'll tell you when i get okay at it. :D

Thats great man, anyone else?
