Yup thats right folks, its over, and we had barely begun. It's really hurts me to see this thing end so soon, but I knew it was coming. So I guess we will have to wait until we can get a LotR TC :'( Later guys! I'm out. -PJ _______________ JK2 pwnz0rs JK3. This post was edited by ..PJ.. on Feb 01 2004 10:18pm. |

Well, a meeting SHOULD sort that out. Probably a MODders' meeting. Tarp I need to contact you... BTW: The meeting is Sunday 6pm GMT, right? _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

It is unclear to me where we stand at the moment. Is it impossible to get the SP sourcecode? Can we alter the MP, are we going to make a MP mod? We need to reach consensus on this as soon as possible since everything we planned has been altered. _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam |

yes, that would be great... but we *are* still planning to do the hobbit first, so that will have to wait for a while ** IMPORTANT IMPORTANT TEAM MEMBERS PLZ READ ** unfortunately, some stuff has popped up, and i won't be able to be at meetings sundays at 8 PM GMT anymore... until the end of June, that is. I'm wondering if it would be possible to shift meetings back two hours, to 6 PM GMT on Sundays. Feedback ASAP would be hugely appreciated. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time.

sorry JR, but that other site is one of the main reasons our initial plan was to stick with SP: the site you linked to is that of an MP only mod. alright then, bizzy, guess you're our official janitor then. try and make it to the meetings, ok? speaking of meetings: some stuff has come up, and it's now impossible for me to ever make it to meetings Sundays at 8 PM GMT, at least until the end of June. therefore, would it be possible to move them two hours earlier? I would really appreciate this. about the demo: yesterday, a virus managed to get past my firewall (guess i should run liveupdate a bit more often ) and decided to infect... yep, you guessed it... the folders that just so happened to contain all my various WIPS, including this. that means that now all i have is a few sketches of the maze layout, so i'll be starting from scratch again this weekend.  those of you who fancy yourselves mappers, this is your chance to send your ideas to jamaniac7@NOSPAMtelus.net (without the NOSPAM), and we'll chat about it on IRC this weekend. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time.

ok eventhough i should talk to the team first, i need the names , but heres my idea. We make 2 mods. first one is a MP mod, it will come out first (sp is harder to make) In this mod we can make few maps. FFA, duel and of course siege. Those maps are gonna be places from the movies, for example: siege can be like helms deep, Orcs vs Humans fighting with swords orcs need to take over and kill all, humans need to defend ect. Duel and ffa can be another places from the movie. We gonna need to make new models and weapons for that. Now the SP is the big project. What i want to do is to recreate the movie well parts of it, using the jka engine. For that we need to edit almost everything. Also you can choose who u want to play, Frodo, aragon, Gandalf ect. or all of them together. Now it will be based on the movie. Alot of coding for new moves, new weapons, skins, scripts, maps and alot of other stuff will be need it. Should look cool at the end. _______________ ...... |

Tarp we need to talk about mapping too! You're making a demo together with Achilles, right? Can I participate in that somehow, as a LotR mod mapper? (I don't think that my making a demo by myself and you by yourselves is a good idea; we're a team) About the SDK, yeah I suppose we could try asking. But I never said doing the SDK ourselves. BTW: Cool JR!!! Join the team!!! _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

Textures, great! Music, great! Site, already covered. Modding, read through the already-released source code and see if you understand it. It can't hurt to ask, can it? Even if they refuse to send us and only us the code, we might be able to persuade them that there *is* a community out there who really wants an SDK for SP. Which would you rather do: try to twist the MP code into an SP form, or write a brand new game from scratch? Believe me, it is possible; I do agree that we need to talk about it though. We desperately need modellers and skinners now; if you know anyone (even outside the JA) who can do either and likes LotR, PLEASE ask them if they'd be interested. It could also be an opportunity to get a few more people to join... _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

Yeah we could do that, but if there are no plans to releasing an SDK for JKA SP, I don't think Raven will do us such a favor. I still have my doubts about the JKA SP SDK-clone idea of yours Tarp :| It's harder than you can imagine to guess how a program works; imagine the possibilities for a game... I can tell you more about this point of mine on MSN. I'll try to catch you some time... _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

OK. First things first: cmad, next time we're both on MSN or IRC at the same time, we're going to write a very nice letter politely asking the JKA team to either have plans for releasing an SDK, or just to quietly send us the source code and not tell anyone else about it. Quote: Tarp, we don't know exactly how the JKA SP works so I don't think we've got a chance to find out just by trying out logical things, do we? SP and MP are exactly the same thing as far as stuff like weapons, movement, NPCs, AI, etc are concerned. Of course we don't have any hope of coming close to duplicating the original, but we can definitely duplicate its end-user appearance. It would just be easier to not have to. Johnny-Rico: yay! another helper! Please scroll down this thread to whenever the last Team Status post was, look at the positions available, and let us know which one(s) you feel qualified for, and do your best to attend our meeting on #lotrmod this coming Sunday at 8 PM GMT. Everyone else: If you were working on anything pertaining to this mod, don't slow down. The absence of an SDK isn't a major issue, and it WILL be worked around or solved sooner or later. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time.

IN FACT, I think we should've thought of making this MOD for MP first... MP lasts longer than SP, don't you think? Plus, there's the SDK advantage. Plz post your ideas fellow staff members _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

Well, here's the idea We can make the maps and models and skins and eveything, and keep the mod code for the end. If we see that trully a JKA SP SDK isn't coming out, we'll make it MP... What do you say? _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |
