We'll look into it, currently the size of the mod is to large for the five of us working on it. So any help would be much appriciated.

We'll just make a big announcement when its time :)

Haha, thanks mate :)

Thanks, all this support really helps the team move faster :D

When its time too start looking we'll be in contact :)

Considering thats 5 minutes in hammer and the same time compiling :D

Thanks, we appreciate it :)

no plans for release dates at the moment, going with a when its done answer to that question :D

I would imagine, that we would start looking for testers within the next 6 months.

Cheers, yeah, it looks a lot different since i posted this, but things need more work before its worth a new screenshot :P

Thank you for your support

Thanks for all of your guy's support! We're having so much fun making it, im sure youll all enjoy playing :D

(P.S - Map list has been updated)

At the moment, theres three of us ^^.

Its slow, but will speed up soon :D

Still looking for artists and programmers.

That would be because the counterstrike map happens to look like helms deep in the movie :P

Well, we havnt thought that much about them, it would be unfair if someone was a hero and another wasnt, we will have to have a good think about this idea.

Thanks for the support!

It shall be fun, will you defend or attack though? :P

Sommeone duggested this a few weeks back. We would, but i think it eould be nicer to use our own maps for this mod :)

Just in case people think this is dead or something.

Nope :)

Development is still going ahead, we are in need of a character artist!

Hello John, you've got some great work there! Sure we could use you on the team, i've added you on msn, looking forward to speaking with you.

Sure, that was our hosting provider. Its now back online. They moved us over to a new server.

Thanks again.

We could ask, but we would rather use our own work :)

yeah, thats being added in soon, there are a total of three ways into the keep (gate, ladders, and side door) however to open the main gate it needs to be knocked down, the side door can then be opened for quick access. people using the ladders can also open the side door :)

As far as caves go, inside there is the great hall, and a few passage ways, the caves are customised to fit gameplay, creating a path around the back of the keep (underground) and there is a walkway underground leading to the enterance of the tower. as far as geometry goes, the map is pretty much complete, once i get some lighting in the underground areas ill get some screenshots :), but for now, imagine this picture with the long wall to the left of the keep.

Thanks.

Apart from some obvious scale issues. I think its pretty close, the side wall is now built, and the cliffs are fixed. Im sorting out the lighting later today, and right now building the inner caves, the side door to the ramp and also the towers on the side wall to the left.

After this, textures will be sorted out, and then after that i will start on the battlefield :)

Well, im not going to rush it to a final version, so when its done. Or, at least a beta with 1-2 maps and all of the gameplay working. We'll make sure you know of its release date when it comes :)

hello everyone. please remember to register on the official forums. Currently we have an active poll in the general discussion forum.

"Should LotR: Source include Multiplayer AI?"

We would love to hear your views on this idea.

Thanks again.

well, its difficult to keep the chosen maps in a story, what i might do is put them in order, and then write a small introduction at the start of the map, connecting the two in readable form.

Thanks for the comment, a good idea :)

No, quite different actually. Sure theres combat, and its based on lord of the rings, but the game modes are completely different :)

In other news, we have a website! I'm not buying a domain quite yet, prehaps in a few weeks. Until then you can find it in the mod informtation at the top of this page.

I'm building the forum as we speak, should be up by the end of next week.

Thanks for all of your support.

At the moment, through pm on moddb, then ill hand you my email, trying to stop the horrible amount of spam in my inbox.

Thanks.

Thank you for tracking, it definatly will be fun! :D

Helm's Deep updates coming at the end of the week!

Hehe, well im just suprised that nothing of this nature has been even attempted, im just sorting out my texture library for Helms Deep, got the skybox sorted, and some of the walling. If anyone thinks they can help out dont hesitate to shout out. Im in need of some mappers to take on one of the other locations.

Cheers.
