Title: Lord Of The Rings Map, WIP
Post by: unnbrellas on August 11, 2013, 12:06:58 am
About
I am making a large huge Lord Of The Rings Map. Here I will post updates and such until I finish it. I'm a huge LoRT fan, and I belive I have the skills it takes to make this map.

The map will actually be a map pack, contain 5 or so maps.  The only place I'm postive that it will have its own map is the Mines of Moria. Feel free to suggest places (Please do). The map will be huge, although I've not decided on the exact size yet.
I've decided I will not be allowing people to create their own roleplays (In fear of demon RPs and 1000 kings of Gondor). There will be one "offical" roleplay created instead. But the map will still be for public download, and you dont have to join the RP to just hang out/explore/fangirl/have fun! :)

Progress And Updates
Hight map is done! My Forum, User, And DA Name are written on it. DO NOT STEAL IT.
[spoiler](http://i39BannedImageSite/2zoho2r.jpg)[/spoiler]
Terrain Mask Is Done!
Main Map is 15% Done
Predicted Finishing Date: January

"How Can I Help?"
I many ways, my kinda little floof!

Meshes
I am in desperate need of meshes.  If you know how to mesh at all, or convert, Please let me know via PM. If you could even find somehelpful meshes, I would apperciate it greatly. :)


Terrains
I suck at making them. If anyone could make me some, it would be great!

Beta Testers
PM me for more information

Support
Just comment :)

Thanks for looking, all feedback is apperciated!! :)

CopyRights just crossed my mind. Im going to look into it.
But Id like to say that nothing Lord of the rings related belongs to me, and full credit goes to JJR Tolkien for writing about the wonderful world of middle eath and all it inhabitats! An thank god he did, or I'd have to find a new fandom. XD

But I honestly dont think Copyrights should be a problem as I have seen other maps based off books.

That map sounds brilliant! Although it would be awesome if you made a Rohan map too, though I know that would be pretty hard, like you said.. What about the trollshaws? That's where Rivendell is. If you're such a big fan you should play the game, LotRO (LotR online).

:D I have only heard of the hobbit game - I gotta check that out! I'm putting certain areas in there own maps (Moria, for example), so rohan may end up like that. I need a good hourse mesh for rohan... I will add the trollshaws to the list :)

Omg! :o I was wondering if anyone would ever make Middle Earth maps. Looks like you'll be the one to do it. ;)
I can tell this won't be an easy task, but I wish you luck with your project, and I hope to see when it's finished. :D

Thank you, and hopefully it will be done in two moths or so. School starts early this year (Next week D:) so it puts me behind. But I will have schreenshots soon enough! :D

You should play it! You get to follow the Fellowship on their way to mordor.(If you want to, go on the server 'Windfola' because that's the one I'm on and this is probably getting off topic so I should stop xD)~ It might give you a nice look into how you want the maps to look! Yeah well anyway, I think there's a shire/clydesdale mesh somewhere, I don't know where to find it though.

I'll check it out! I saw a clydale mesh once, but it was before I made maps, so of course I didnt get it :/ Now I gotta find it again....
Good to see Im not the only LOTR fan around here! (Im suprised there aren't more though)

If you need help with the terrain, I can offer assistance. I'm quite good with terrains. I can show you some of my work if you'd like, otherwise, I'm here if you need me. c:

I have a question. Will you make a Shire map, or have the Shire as a region in a map? :)
Title: Re: Lord Of The Rings Map, WIP
Post by: unnbrellas on August 17, 2013, 05:00:39 pm
It will be a region, although bag end will have its own little map.  I cant really give the shire its own map because it doesnt have any borders really. Minimaps are mainly for inside places.

Hightmap done! :D

A Lord of the Rings map would be pretty epic. I'll be stalking this thread now, if you don't mind...

Sounds neat, even though I sort of don't really like LotR, the map might be pretty neat.

Good luck floof and can't wait to see screenshots! ;)

Any music Ideas?
Title: Re: Lord Of The Rings Map, WIP
Post by: SteampunkWolfdog on August 20, 2013, 01:14:25 pm
Lord of the Rings soundtracks? :) Like...maybe the Shire theme, or the Lothlorien theme? :D
Title: Re: Lord Of The Rings Map, WIP
Post by: unnbrellas on August 20, 2013, 09:20:42 pm
For some places I know the soundtrack, but those are the mini maps. I dont want shire music playing in mordor :/ I may just do a neutral soundtrack...
Title: Re: Lord Of The Rings Map, WIP
Post by: SteampunkWolfdog on August 21, 2013, 10:34:46 am
XD I can imagine that...it'll be pretty weird. Travelling music or intro music perhaps?

I can not even begin to express how much I absolutely adore you for taking up this project! I can't wait to check it out, though I am entirely aware that it requires time and patience to create something as absolutely fantastic and complex as this!

But because you mentioned you were in need of meshes, permit me to suggest Theirry's meshes.
They're low-poly count, so you should be able to avoid lag. I'd give you a link to the thread, but I'm lazy despite my excitement concerning this project.

Hooray! :D Can't wait to see the updates.

Also, Thank you Hugrf! I would have been stuck forever with that terrain mask if you hadn't helped! :)
