⭕ Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring - Official Thread

Interesting that you decided to make the dwarfs not be able to purchase artillery/zeppelins/berzerkers. Is it to balance the game or is the other version updated
-
@board-3659
The books dont have black powder artillery/zeppelins/berzerkers that was the reason for removing them. -
@thedog I'm guessing they are in the movie because if not IDK why the other has those things
-
@board-3659 It has been a long time since I saw the movie, but I don't remember anything like those. My best guess is that is taken from Warhammer Fantasy. Also goblins and orks are two names for the same thing in the Lord of the Rings, so the fact that they are differentiated in that game has to come from somewhere else, like Warhammer Fantasy, too.
Or maybe @NinjaWolfHybrid could just tell us what's what, since he/she affirms to be Flanagan, the map-maker.

ok thats great thanks
-
For some reason it doesn't appear on the Lobby yet I have it
-
@board-3659
I guess thats because I host it on my Google Drive, so easy compared to Github uploading of maps. -
@thedog Do you know how to fix it?
-
@board-3659
No is the short answer.I spent over 3 hours trying to upload a map to Github and failed. As time is precious Im happier being productive and coding/modding a new map "The Shogun" than trying and failing to upload again.
But you could try and upload the zip if you like?

@thedog ok I can try, though I have no idea how to use Github

@rogercooper yeah like the ents near Saruman were non-aligned until Saruman attacked

@ff03k64
If you can get it on Github that would be great, I will try/learn to update the files. -
@thedog Did you change anything besides the xml?
-
@ff03k64
Yes
Removed many units.
Changed PUs icon
Added Game_Notes.png
Changed all nations StandardFlag.png sizes
Maybe other things? -
@thedog So it looks like you didn't make any new units? Just removed some? And it looks like you didn't change the map at all? Am I seeing that correctly?
So my thought is to try to add it to the download of middle earth that this is based off of, instead of it's own download.
So, first, do you care?
Second for others that are hopefully reading this, is that a good way to do this? I am not sure how the flag sizes would be affected by doing it this way. Would that make this not work? -

Yes to all the above
So my thought is to try to add it to the download of middle earth that this is based off of, instead of it's own download.
So, first, do you care?Short answer no, my thoughts are, that for a normal Modder like me, it takes too much time and effort to do a simple task, like upload and maintain a file set.
Second for others that are hopefully reading this, is that a good way to do this? I am not sure how the flag sizes would be affected by doing it this way. Would that make this not work?
The flag size will not affect the game, it will shrink the map main screen if you leave it as is. My NationFlag.png are 24x24px this is the optimum size for many reasons.
Other people please chime in with your thoughts for ff03k64.

@thedog I think if you download the files here it should run.?.?. https://github.com/CharlieAtlas/middle_earth/archive/master.zip
I can use that to make sure I did everything correctly before trying to put it in the official repo. It looks like there are a couple unit images missing. Do you use discord by chance?
edit: more info: did you add any units? or just remove some?
-
@ff03k64
Im not sure where you got that file set from?
Here is the correct link from the first post.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x3tjGJsD7kt6_Cn3jei3i1UAepy6BOfi/view?usp=sharingHowever Roger pointed out that the map.yml is wrong for the current version of 2.6. If you delete it thats fines as the v2.6 should generate a new and correct map.yml
Its late here in the UK, I can give you a new zip tomorrow.
Edit Im not on Discord.

@thedog That file is my merging of the original Middle Earth map, and your modification of it.
I asked about adding units because I think you added archers for Rohan? I don't think those are in the original, so I was wondering if you added any other units so I could add them without having to check every unit for every race.
If the zip you get from my link works, then I will merge that with the official version (once I add the missing units). That is when I will worry about the map.yml file.
edit: I think I found all the missing units now. archers for rohan, gondor, khand, and rohan, and noldor for the elves?
