yea, me and a friend were thinking about making a LOTR multiplayer mod, made a few maps and then realized that since making new animations was such a bitch that it wouldnt be worth it (for bows and arrows etc..)

If anyone does know how to add new animations or wants to help feel free to contact me so we can re-begin the mod. I think it would be a really cool thing to do

instead of using bows you could use crossbows...all they have is a trigger, like the bowcaster.

PajamaSam · 01-04-2003, 06:18 AM

yea, but its not as cool as a bow would be :-\

I think we might be making a futuristic ninja themed mod now, so if anyone is interested....

i dont see why you couldnt piece together a bow and arrow anim from existing animations, not that i know much. find an anim for the left arm straight out in front, with hand in a fist in right position, and an anim of the right arm bent with fist close to head. then again are there seperate anims for arms?

boinga1 · 01-04-2003, 07:48 AM

nope, animations are specific for the whole body.

PajamaSam · 01-04-2003, 07:59 AM

ahhh someone moved the thread, couldnt find if for a second haha

yea, all the animations are on the entire body, which is a good thing especially for third person viewing.

I was browsing the genereal editing forums and discovered there already is a LOTR mod based around Helm's deep. We were planning on having helms deep as a map, but not the whole mod. Best of luck to you guys, hopefully you can find some way of getting animation to work before you have helms deep almost entirely mapped and have to stop (personal experience haha)

Anyone like ninjas and know how to map/model/skin/texture art?

I have decided to put all my time into makin a nice LOTR map going to have the fallowing.

The Shire
sarumans tower
Helms Deep

more info to come.

PajamaSam · 01-07-2003, 02:50 PM

yea, i started on helms deep but once i found out about the animations i lost intrest. It was good too haha i had loads of reference shots so it was pretty accurate

Someone seriously should do this, I'll look for premade LOTR files...

Hey theres a LOTR TC mod if any ones interested. http://s14.invisionfree.com/LOTRTC/

Zappa_0 · 01-01-2007, 08:12 PM

They should go to Dark Messiah and make the TC. Alot better game then JA. And less to do aswell.

How many LOTR mods are there now? I cant even remember. But mostly I think that the way you can make this mod really good is to make completly new models, huds and maps.

Johnpp · 01-10-2007, 07:13 PM

LOTR TC is making all of their own maps/skins/huds/ ETC.
