Currently building MiddleEarth...
by myself.
For being an on/off modder, I'm doing ok, but at at this rate I'll be 50 when I'm done.
I have abandoned my heightmaps, which were laughable in comparison to LumpyPats maps here...
Tesnexus.com
Since then I have added very few things, just testing and what not. LAst night I modded for the first time in a couple months. I do this from time to time. Get bored with it, then its all I think about for a week or two, and its all i do for those weeks.
I also saw today that MERP project has their own new site which looks great and the work they are doing looks even better.
Last night I played around with some regions and LODs.
yeah i know thegreywizard from merp but good luck with your project i wish i could help you cuz im a big fan of lotr and the hobbit but i think i might have the computer skills:P to make a mod but i just dont know where to find the time such a project deserves besides school,friends,gaming and sleeping:P
great idea i hope you finish it but are you all by yourself working on it or what?
