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.

Just came up with an idea to keep things more organized

For each part of the proces (mapping, script writing, scripting and so on)
we'll have a General Director or something like that, who'll overlook all...
In case there is a staff meeting of some sort, and you can't be there, you can always give your work to the G.D. and he'll throw it in the group

if you get my point
I'd like to volunteer for the G.D. of script writing...

Oh yeah, it's probably the most practical if only the G.D.'s HAVE to be at staff meetings
since, if our crew will grow even more (which isn't bad) then we'll get a really crowed room, and it'll be harder to discuss
for those that didn't show up (from the regular crew) we can just post a newspost on the lotr mod site to inform the other ones...

what are your thoughts on this?

yeah, okay, agreed

now, for the script writers (not the programming script) we have Ulic, me and Tarp? in this case we should meet on IRC, or on MSN or something like that to discuss the story, and leave out certain things:) and stuff like that

Anyways, for the other positions we still need people
perhaps you should ask a JAC for a news item on the news page...:)
And I'll try to see if I can find anyone to help:)

so we'll have to set a time to meet at a chatting program to discuss the story and stuff like that
anyways, please remember that I live in Belgium and my GMT is +1. So we'll have to think about eachothers GMT's too, when we set an hour and stuff like that...

Oh yeah
About the site
who ever is making the site, could you make sure that it has some kind of admin acces, and maybe you should make us admins, so we can put things on the news page, while visitors can't. If you get my point:)

OK. The Hobbit it is :D
As for AK, well, we can have the whole site :D as it is MY site :) It's actually the Home Page of my Raven Shield clan :) My webspace :) But I dont want to use it for our Mod. We need sumthin better :)

.tk would be good.......lotrmod.jk3files.com would be better. Longer, but a link would be on the site under the "Hosted Sites" or whatever section :D

Okay
already three people agreeing about the hobbit
great;)
What do you say to it, Jonnie?:)

And erm...
well, skinning, I don't know the least bit about it:)
Texturing, that kind of works, but still it's a little flaky with me:)

Edit: I suggest you change the name of this thread since 'Do you like LotR' doesn't have anything directly to do with the MOD:)

For an SP game, The Hobbit would be a great starter, not only because it's shorter, but also because there's far less choices for player characters, which means less nearly-identical campaigns to create :P

I agree with the lotrmod.tk idea: Jonny, I don't know how much space AK is letting you have, but if we can get something going on there, we can set up lotrmod.tk or whatever (as long as it's .tk) for free to reference that site.

The .tk (www.dot.tk) service does not provide you with web space; it simply sets up a domain name ending in .tk to reference a page elsewhere. lotrmod.tk could be set up to mean athenasknights.com/lotrmod, geocities.com/~lotrmod, brinkster.com/lotrmod, or anywhere else.

Another possibility for the site is affiliate-hosting on a jk3 site: how would you like for us to be located at lotrmod.jk3files.com? For that to happen, though, we'd need waaay more publicity... which Jonny's suggestion of a permy thread (in the General forum? :P) covers nicely.

Ideas, ideas, ideas! Keep them coming!

Oh, and Bail: I don't know anything about skinning and texturing. The distraction is so that I can escape that part of it. :D

Well, the demo, I totally agree, as I've stated before

But the site, I don't
I know a great site for site space, and it's free, and it gives you an address like:
www.lotrmod.tk
so, it's worth it:)
I just can't remember the site name now,
when I see one of my site gee-wizzes tomorrow, I'll let you know what the site is

so you don't have to spend your money on a site place:)

Oh yeah, btw, you haven't answered yet about the storyline
As Ulic and I stated before, starting with the Hobbit would be wiser in this case...
what do you think about this?

Gah! I'm so excited! :D:D LOL.
and BTW Tarp, thats not the site :D that was purely to show ppl that I have already begun working on the mod :D

I'll get in contact with Cuzza and tell him what I would like in the site, send him a template. we will use that site www.athenasknights.com/lotrmod.htm for now, until I can fund a new site. when I get the cash, we will have www.lotrmod.com or sumthin similar.

The demo is a good idea :)

I'm also going to ask DJ if we can get a forum right here on the academy site, when we get enough posts, support, and ppl to join us.

well, about the general script, you know the lines for the voice-actors to read, we have Ulic-Quell Droma and me, and then you, so that's covered:)

Level designing and mapping, you've got me, and there's you, so yeah, that's ok..

Skinning: I don't know the first thing about skinning:) so there's only you so far

2-3 programmers: Well, there's me, and then there's you...

Someone to create the site: we've got CuZza, I think, but he hasn't replied yet if he wants the task:)

So, when do we start?
good question;)

About the demo, I like that idea
But it's all up to Padawan Jonnie, since he came up with the idea:)

Do I need to submit a portfolio or something?

So, when do we start?

EDIT: I personally think we should make a demo, including just a few skins and only one map, and submit it to jk3files and pcgamemods in order to attract talent to our cause.

yes, of course
the more the merryier I should say;)

and besides
if 3 programmers are going to have to do the work of many men at Raven's, then it's going to take long;)
anyways
the more men we have on this project, the faster it'll be done, I should say:)

btw... no offense, but the site as you have it sucks. For your own good ;), give me an ftp handle or something to it so visitors aren't scared off by the giant screenshots on a white background.
