T3A News » Help Wanted!

Posted April 21, 2012. By Rob38 | View Comments

Hello T3A Community! :thumbsupcool:

It's not every day that an opportunity like this arises. As part of a new initiative, we have been trying to expand our modding community reach to other areas. Currently, we are working on partnering up with The Modding Union (German BFME community) and several LOTR mods such as MERP (Middle Earth Role Playing). We need your help though in order to successfully complete our initiative. We are looking for volunteers that are willing to help in posting updates on other sites/forums and to maintain what is posted in our forums. We are also looking for someone that can translate English posts into German. We need reliable and consistent help in these areas so please take that into consideration before offering to volunteer. Anyone interested in volunteering can PM me or post in this topic. ^_^

On a side note, this is a friendly reminder that for all hosted mods, please post all your news and updates (big or small) here. Thank you.

T3A News » TDH and TEA combined

Posted April 1, 2012. By _Haldir_ | View Comments

Hey everybody!

Well with the release of TDH 0.75, i've finally managed to finish a little side project of mine, a modding tool that combines my two favourite mods: The Dwarf Holds and The Elven Alliance.
If you're like me, and you've always imagined what it'd be like to play with both dwarves and elves in BFME1, then simply download and run this installer.

As long as you have the latest versions of TDH and TEA installed, the tool will install a new shortcut, plus the necessary ini files, combined from the two separate mods. Which saves you having to download hundreds of MB worth of assets that you already have!

Below is a small selection of screenshots, and a readme with a full changelog can be found with the installer.

Enjoy! ^_^

The Dwarf Holds News » Upcoming TDH Patch News

Posted March 31, 2012. By Nertea | View Comments

Hello T3Aers,

Though the release of 0.75 seems to have gone reasonably well, some issues have come up that we're working on addressing. These include the Entmoot bug and a few balance changes. Expect a patch to be out in a week or so, as we're also working on making needed improvements to the AI that need some more time. We'll also be releasing a Worldbuilder installer that will allow you to make maps with TDH content effortlessly. Stay tuned for more information.

In the meantime, we can offer a solution to the pink arrows bug that seems to occur at random. To greatly decrease the chance of this happening, when you install The Dwarf Holds, makes sure to run the installer as an administrator. To do this, simply right click on the file and select "Run as administrator". Then, proceed as normal. This has worked so far for forum members. If the problem persists, you may also want to run Battle for Middle-earth as an administrator.

Thanks for your patience!

Hey people of the 3rd age. It is I... and I bring news of news. So Revora's weekly news is coming back, and I'll be your news host. Send you complaints to The Best Guest... k thanks. But anyway, it would be great if you guys got involved in it. What I need you to do is either get someone to post me a whole bunch of updates once a week or you as individuals with projects can message me whenever. What you should me giving me is news of new projects and big updates and obviously the link to the project you had in mind. Great way to spread the news of what you people are doing, yes? Maybe. But let's get this going and I hope to get some updates from you guys before Friday.
