Shadow Rising - A Wheel of Time Mod - Beta Release v0.3.1 - August 12, 2009

[TheBlackMephistopheles]

I know there already is a WoT game, an rpg if i remember well, i believe it was based on a sidestory involving the Aes sedai but didn't have much to do with the main plot of WoT

I thought of another idea.

Sword of Democles have an invasion a couple of hundred days into the game. The game world gets flooded by a very hostile enemy.
This would be an even better way to use the shadows forces. Would make sense gameplay wise.

You have xxx days until Tarmon Gai'don breaks out, and the whole world gets flooded by lots and lots and lots of trollocks.

Trouble with this idea would ofcourse be if you yourself is playing a trollock. Don't have any good answer to that issue.

Ah well, just spouting ideas.

i think i found another bug: when i have done a practice duel with one of mine soldiers and enter a town and go to the castle, i get the message that i fought that soldier and i can choose between leave and duel again. when i push leave i also leave the town.

HOLY ****ING ****! NO ****ING WAY! I WANT TO GET TO KILL RAND! always hesitating and getting led around by women. OH AND I WANT TO BURN THAT WHITE TOWER AND MAKE ALL THOSE AES SEDAI MY PERSONAL SEX SLAVES!

please implement in the mod, pretty please?

You have some unresolved issues with women it seems.

Cool mod BTW.

no i hold women in great respect. I do have some unresolved issues with Aes Sedai and some of the more headstrong female characters of WoT. Can't they let Rand go crazy in peace?


I think the invasion idea from SoD is a great one and you also might want to contact Nick Altman cause he's pretty good at modding gameplay plus he's got tons of experience debugging with Lords and Realms. Don't expect him to do anything heavy though cause i think he's already heading into a break after the new version of Lords & Realms is out.

how about adding some wolfs??
dunno if possible.

and i found a bug were riders and (meybe i dont remember) infantry get stuck in air after using tower ter'angreal. i have a pic of it but cant figure out how to post it..

 

[Stauto]

I love you for making this. No other way to say that. I've been pulling for a WoT mod for a while, even trying to make one....it failed. Anyways, This mod seems incredible and I can not wait for the full release.

Firstly a bug: already mentions but the game crashes often in the middle of large battles or sieges? I'm thinking it only happens when seeker weaves are being used on the battle field although it could be coincidence.

Secondly some of my thoughts although I understand the mods still in the very early stages:
- Personally I think it should take place just before the books and then we can pretty much completely ignore the storlyline; it keeps things simpler and avoids spoilers for anyone. Take out any characters that weren't important previous to the books (Rand and such but not Siuan would remain as Amyrlin).
- make the player the dragon
- Love the Sword of Damocles style Tarmon Gaidon idea
- does anyone think it would be possible to make white tower training into say a book, so your character spends some time studying to become an accepted and then to Aes Sedai. So you join the white tower and get a book called 'novice training' with possible direct benefits to finishing as well as the advancement to accepted (get the ring and can learn more for the tower) Not perfectly thought out yet but I think it could be worked into something quite good.
- More Angreal and Ter'angreal. Could be rare items found if your extremely lucky after a battle or more likely conquest, perhaps a large store of them in a certain city?
- of course general fleshing out of items, weaves, troops, character options and such
- to keep up with more weave would there be a way to make weaves not be single items so that you can carry all of your abilities onto the battlefield rather than just four maximum (the world of magic mod sort of has this but it's imo rather difficult to use currently)?
Hope these help in someway, I love the books and really want this mod to continue .

Would be cool if you could get ter'angreal and such by maibe quests in Tear/Tar valon.

u can. when u learn to channel u get 2 ter'angreals. 1 which makes a tower from where u can shot and 1 that makes a small pallisade.

 

[PrinceGhaldir]

would it be possible to make the tower last longer?
i think it is bit of a short time you have on your tower.

u can do it again?

i think the time is good. cuz if u want to go melee and cant go down before it goes down?? well... EPIC FAIL then..

Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions everyone! The power has been out at my house for 4 days so I'm just now trying to catch up. I'm trying to get a new release together that contains some bug fixes as well as some new features. It should go out in a day or two. I've implemented a sprint feature that I think will make being a footman more fun. Trollocs will be able to sprint faster and longer than humans. I have a question for everyone:

Should I try to make it so trollocs can't ride horses?

Also, it looks like the bind weave is causing a lot of crashes. I think I'm going to change it so only one person can be bound at a time and hopefully that will take care of some of the problems people have been seeing.

If you have a bug please report it on the forum here: http://www.modrealms.com/forums/showthread.php?t=965

Who are the companions present here? Still the vanilla companions?

Right now there are only the default companions. I plan on having trolloc/myrddraal companions as well as companions who can channel. Before I can make companions who can channel I need to figure out how to make weaves non-tradeable.

 

[Tempered]

Great mod!  That is all 

 

[herre]

i think its a good idea to make the trollocks not being able to ride a horse. atleast if u get the sprint working.

and how about making this mod into a parallel time where the aiels war is over but the dragon isnt born? just an idea.

YOU ROCK!!!
its one color for each ajah XD (except the BLACK AJAH....).

Ye i know that. I mean MORE ter'angreal =) And maybe angreal and sa'angreal so that u could cast more weaves during one fight.
