Lord of the Rings Mod Renewed

Hello dear admins

I would like to ask whether in the new renewed version or even in the older version you will finally add a button to turn off the bow and sword function.

Especially with elves, it is completely unimaginable. As you made the orcs a few pixels smaller npcs gained an advantage over the elves who can easily stand or sit on a horse for 10 minutes straight and try to hit an orc with a bow who also just stands and shoots. However, with the difference that he hits and my elves die of dementia to draw a sword and kill him by hand. Don't tell me the elves were just archers. It seems to me that you have turned this advantage against other factions into a big disadvantage against other factions. Thank you for your attention and I hope to receive an answer.

I am quitting the LOTR Mod community, for a time. Here is why:

Basically, no teasers, no updates, nothing. Not even a notification on why this Great Silence is still going. More and more people are going into hibernation. I am now one of those increasing legions...

I have heard some people say that this is not the longest time Mevans has not released an update. Sure, but that time (I think before the Harad update) did not have a total silence. Us LOTR Mod users are used to long update times. It isn't anything new to us.

But...

First, total silence. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. Love. Goose eggs. We have nothing. All theories are rumors, with no backing from anyone authorities. (I mostly believe that Mevans is just taking a break.)

'Gorthangthecruel, Mevans has been working on this mod longer than most people have been alive! He deserves a year-long break, if only that! Also, it isn't very uncommon for developers to go ghost for a time! Also, the Discord FAQ says that the mod isn't dead! You are just a impatient whiner, with no respect for the mod's achievements! How can you be anything else? You use the GOT submod, LOTR Reworked, and Genstructures! Also, sin of sins...you have read articles on the New Notion Club Archives!'

Fine. I will make no defense about the Russian knockoffs. Some of what Genstructures did was bad, although researching the whole story may give one a more neutral opinion on it. I will play them regardless. Also, I EDITED a page on the New Notion Club Archives! Muahahaha!

But...first, the probability of Mevans not having the actual ability to post something about the status of the mod is zero. Also, if Mevans just said that he was taking a break for a long and undermined amount of time...guess what? It could go something like this:

"Hey, I am going on break for a long and undetermined amount of time. Peace!'

There. Easy. And the community would be sated, (except for the few trolls that just want a update) and just go about their business knowing exactly what Mevans is doing. He could be getting married or raising kids, and we wouldn't know or care. It just is so...simple, I think.

(I must be carful not to make to many assumptions about how simple writing a Discord message would be. Mevans could be dead. Seriously. -_-)

(That was a joke. The staff have said multiple times that Mevans is not dead. That also insinuates that he communicated with them? Or...the staff are lying to dispel worry. That sure turned out well...)

Also, the port to Renewed is one of the most troublesome times in the mod's history. That removes a lot of the defense for ghosting the community, at least in my mind. (Mevans still has the right to a very long break, of course.)

At three months, I was expecting a update at any moment. At five, I was getting worried. At seven? Now I am very miffed.

I am awaking to what is happening. If a year goes by without anything, I will go into total deep hibernation. If the next April Fool's goes by without anything, (a historic requirement) I will consider the mod dead by default. If 2024 rolls around without anything, dead forever.

As for the Discord FAQ...really, does anyone even look at that? Also, it doesn't answer WHY there are no updates. The very simple break post would do that. (Of course, there would still be people whining about 'when iz mevanz gonna go off brek' but most fears would be put aside.)

The First Age submod is active. TepelStreeltje is currently working o implementing a structure generation system for FA Renewed, the screenshots look good. The Second Age submod will soon be upon us, as well. At this rate, the First Age submod will be done before the LOTR Renewed mod! (I asked Tepel about Mevans. No info on his part.)

It seems like every party is active on the LOTR Mod scene...except Mevans. The LOTR Reworked mod is updating. (The next update will add Black Numenorians and Wainriders, along with a whole bunch of other stuff) EVEN THE FREAKING GOT MOD IS STILL RECIEVING UPDATES! LIKE, ONE EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS!

Also, at least SOME code is done for the next Renewed update. Why can't Mevans just release that, even if it would be the smallest Renewed update ever? We would at least get horse-riding Rohirrim, even if they are very buggy!

So, I cannot see any redeeming quality in the Great Silence as it stands. A Great Silence following a break notice would be completely fine. This? Nu-uh.

What will I do?

First, I will play the LOTR Mod as it is, along with the FA submod. I will remain active on the FA Discord, but I will completely ghost the LOTR Discord. I will play with Genstructures, along with the GOT mod without fear! Call me a traitor, a craven coward! Hound me to the ends of the earth! What have I to fear now?!

Of course, if the mod really is dead forever, (I think it is still unlikely) then all the submods will go with it. The FA Mod will endure for a time, but Tepel will fall at the last. The GOT Mod and the LOTR Reworked mod? They will last longer, (since they have stated that they don't ever really care about updating to a later Minecraft version) but they will vanish into dust and blood.

More and more people are going to get fed up with this, some for righteous reasons, others for petty ones. But oh so surely, (albeit very slowly) the mod will vanish. Of course, it will never 'die,' due to a constant flow of new players, but much of once was will be lost, and what should not have been forgotten will. The mod will perish, due to the slow decay of time without any hope.

'Faithless is he who departs when the road darkens.' Perhaps, but what about when the road itself can no longer be seen? Do we remember what we were fighting for? How long will it be before the Shadow lifts? Can we even know?

Goodbye...for now. Aurë entuluva! Day shall come again!

Rangers being invisible while they're fighting is wrong, I think I'm not wrong by saying this.

Mevans himself said he wanted to change it for renewed and this is the reason why, apparently, rangers of the North and Ithilien hasn't been ported yet. I don't know if teammod has found an idea already but I think I get some which may work.

The principle of rangers is they dissimulate in the nature (so camouflage but not invisibility) and ambush the enemies where they expect the lesser.

What if there exist a raid system in the same way of the hobbit boundaries when you tresspass in the Shire or Dorwinion guards when you steal grapes? You just walk around and you have like 1 chance on 50,000 (or more if you think it's too common) to be raided in a tick by one to four or five rangers when you wander the lands they're watching. And of course, it doesn't only happen for evil players but enemy NPCs too. The one difference with boundaries raid would be rangers raid rarer to represent the fact dunedain or Ithilien people are a few compared to the hobbits, plus the fact that wild lands are huge and virtually desert so they make good places to retire and hide themselves from the enemies. (but of course, if you take a walk with your army in Ithilien, and given that each enemy has a chance to trigger a raid of rangers, you have less chance to go unnoticed and we'll be ambushed mo regularly)

Another idea is, and it's for camouflage this time, to make them virtually unseen for NPCs away of them from eight blocks range instead sixteen. So they can quietly assassinate their targets but it suffices the enemy may be inside a 8 blocks radius to see and attack them.

Mevans has been able to make an individual entity invisible in this way with players wearing a full set of galadhrim cloak so why not doing the same for a category of NPCs?

Oh. And to finish, wargs being able to sniff rangers smell and so to spot them despite their camouflage ability would be great idea either; if it's not too hard to code, of course.

Hi! I am new to this mod, and I have heard people talk about "renewed" and "legacy". Which one is better, and what is the difference?

Thank you very much. :)

The biggest problem I've found so far is the Hobbits are massive for some reason. The hit box is where it should be. But the models themselves. Ive tried installing and uninstalling multiple times. Nothing has worked though. A little help would be great

Did you see the last of upload of lordoftheringsMOD on facebook?

What do you think? Do the rohirrim ride the vanilla horses or new modelised lotr horses? Or will we have to wait a bit more to see the horses designed by the mod?

I'm going to tell you a funny story.

I played on renewed recently and I fought among the rohirrim against uruk-hai and dunlending at the border between Rohan and Nan Curunir. To add a bit of fun I spawned a bunch of Gondor warriors and lindon warriors to represent some allies.

And here is what happened:

A lindon warrior began to aim a rohirrim somehow (logical in some way because high elves and rohirrim are neutral but not so logical either because arrows pass through to body of ally, friend and neutral NPCs so nothing justified it). He, like, sniped the rohirrim, and gondorians nearby jumped on the pointy-eared to kill him (I saw something similar when dunlendings killed uruk-hai of Sharkey because they slain some dwarves.).

Then, I saw the thing I still laugh from. After the elf dead, gondorians nearby killed the gondorian who has given the last blow to the elf (because he slain an elf and high elves are friends of gondor). Then I've had a domino effect where gondorians began to slay each other because... they just killed each other, a bit like orcs when they scuffle.

That was very weird and mostly funny to experiment and wished to share it with some people.

Some will see a bug to fix in this. But I don't know if we can really consider it like a bug. Because it's just a NPC behaviour trick caused by the entangling of several codes willed by Mevans.

Anyway, I'm curious to read your reaction.

Oh. And I almost forgot! New wargs are superb in looking and fight system. It was very entertaining to fight them. Thank you Mevans for this wonderful work and mod!

Hello, all! I have been working on a little project recently. As we all know, this mod is amazing. But Mevans can't add anything and everything. I am currently working on compiling a small personal modpack that would basically be LOTR+. Everything centred around this mod of course. It would add just a few QoL mods, along with some mob mods like alex's mobs, unnamed animal mod, aquaculture 2, that bird mod, and ice and fire. But most notably, origins. I always remember people talking about how cool it would be to have different models etc. for different races. Well, I just finished that. I am not an experienced coder, but I think it turned out pretty well. I made a total of 7 origins, all centred around middle earth with various powers. Most importantly, different heights and widths. I was originally not going to publish it, but I wanted to know if anyone would want to use it in a mod pack or something. It is in two forms, forge 1.16.5 mod, and forge 1.16.5 datapack. (It needs both origins mod, pehkui, and LOTR to work). If some people respond to this with interest, I will try to set up either a curseforge or planet minecraft page with a download. :)

And also, if anyone is interested in the modpack, when I'm finished I may publish it as well.

What am I supposed to do with this?

This is POLISH language!

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by the translation. And I'd like to comment on the content, not the language.

Witam. Gram na lotr mod od dłuższego czasu, i zawsze fascynowało mnie Utumno. Nie mamy zbyt dużo informacji o tym co działo się w utumno po pokonaniu Morgotha. Dlatego właśnie będzie to w dużej części moja kreatywność (oparte na kanonie). W Utumno byłaby możliwość posiadania pozytywnego wyrównania we frakcji, o tym jak to zdobyć będzie w końcówce. Warto by było też dodać do lotr mod nową kategorię frakcji taką jak Westlands, Rhun, czy Harad. Nową kategorią było bo właśnie Utumno.

Jak uzyskać pozytywne wyrównanie Utumno? :

Aby wyzerować wyrównanie w CAŁYM Utumno, trzebaby było "udowodnić swoją wartość" byłoby to możliwe po przez zabicie 50 traitor Utumno orcs. Byłby to specjalny Utumno orc, który sprzeciwił się kapitanowi. pojawiały by się one co jakiś czas walczące z zwykłymi Utumno orcs. Utrudnieniem było by to, że lud Utumno również by nas atakował. Orkowie tacy byli by ubrani w zbroję Utumno/Ice Utumno/Fire Utumno (zależy od poziomu). Po zabiciu 50 takich wyrównaniew całym Utumno wynosiło by 0. Jeszcze raz można by było tak zrobić po jednym miesiącu, jak wyrównanie w chociaż jednej frakcji spadnie poniżej 0.

Dodatkowo do Utumno można by było zabrać swoją armię. Za pomocą komendy można by było włączyć czy Utumno ma być osobne dla każdego gracza, czy jedne.

KONIEC!

Z góry przepraszam, za błędy takie jak : "Ice Utumno", w frakcji Fire utumno.

Jest to do dodania w lotr mod renewed.

Dziękuję za uwagę!

I saw and voted to the strawpoll on facebook about porting or not the battleaxes because vanilla axes now work the same way.

If you ask, I voted for porting battleaxes but giving theme different stats and/or effects to differentiate them from normal axes.

However, it's not my real opinion. What I think better is just nerf vanilla axes. What if we let battleaxes for fighting and nerf vanilla axes and make them just a cheaper version of the battleaxes and which exist only to cut wood? (to explain less complicately, vanilla axes stay as good (or bad) as they were in elder versions) It'd be more simple.

No? Because teammod doesn't seem to consider it.

This suggest is a little tricky to explain...

I had a bit of fun in renewed by fighting mordor orcs in Ithilien or gundabad orcs in Lone-lands, or even Eriador. And I spotted a lot of difference between legacy and renewed in term of gameplay.

Without talking about the fact NPCs now got useful shield (and not just decorative) and friendly arrows passing through ally NPCs like they were mist or fog (I will come back of it at the end), something's happening with health bar regen.

In elder minecraft versions, the healthbar always regenerated slowly, but you didn't need to permanently eat in combat because the slow regeneration gradually consume your satiety; opposing to new versions where you instantly regenerates in exchange to get starvish all the time when you fight mobs.

Each one of us will have their own opinion about this, and what regen system they prefer (I prefer the old personnally).

But...

The mod gameplay is very different of vanilla gameplay. Because vanilla mobs are not as dangerous as NPCs of the mod, zombies, skeletons and creeper are easier to check than orcs, Men or elves, archers and warg bombardiers (when they'll be ported) or even trolls. In vanilla, arrows shot by skeletons don't pass through zombies and other mobs. In vanilla, they don't have got shield, they don't have necessarly weapons to deal you more damage. And to conclude, I've the feeling orcs have a higher spawnrate than vanilla mobs in overworld at night (but it's maybe just me). And I don't even talk about trolls, poison effect with poisoned daggers and arrows, invasions, and the other things which will be ported in the future.

Yep, the mod offers a harder difficulty experience than vanilla and when you are permanently harassed at night by more dangerous enemies than usual zombies and skeletons, the old healthbar regen system is more adaptated to this gameplay because orcs are very numerous compared vanilla mobs and it's very (to not say extremely) hard to find respite to eat and heal you before return to fight. And because NPCs are more dangerous than vanilla mobs you're likely to always be wounded, which makes the need of respite to eat and heal more common.

To figure it to you, in the field of Cormallen at nightfall, I could even not travel because the swarm of orcs popping everywhere around. I was forced to stay stuck near a boulder and a tree to ensure me a safe place to eat and heal me whenever I'm too injured to continue without dying. Yeah. I was just stucked until dayrise. That sort of thing didn't happen in legacy. And all of them caused by actual regen system which compels me to ridiculously always eat and so prevent me to longly focus on the battle (which is necessary with the very agressive PvE the mod offers).

So I think we should keep and port the old regen system because healing slowly for eating occasionnally instead always eating is more adaptated to the mod gameplay (in addition to be more realistic, imagine yourself permanently saying "pax!" to eat a burger as you are in a raging battlefield, it's just stupid). Because when you're not hungry, you panick less and stay focus of what happens around you, what is primary when you're permanently surrendered by enemies in wild biomes at night. (It's the case in vanilla too, I don't say the opposite. The overworld is just... less brutal)

I don't have any problem with the shields and arrows passing through mobs. I think it's a good addition and I'll get used to it. It's just the regen system which is not compatible with the hard and agressive gameplay of the mod, undoubtedly more agressive than vanilla. Otherwise, it's the spawnrate of NPCs which needs to be reviewed.

And to finish, I come back of the arrows passing through other NPCs. I noticed they passed through neutral NPCs too. I think it's more obvious neutral NPCs would be hit by neutral arrows as much as enemy NPCs.

But I especially need your opinion about all of this. Maybe you survival experience in renewed (if you did it) have been different of mine.

I think that Gorcrows should be removed from the mod. While the poems themselves found in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil are canon poems written by Middle Earth writers, the characters, creatures, and locations found within them are not real within Middle Earth. Their names are real as fictional ideas that the in-universe writers came up with, but they really are not real in Middle Earth. The red book is more like an ancient historical text. Middle Earth Orcs and Trolls are fictional to us, but real in Middle Earth and may have inspired things like the Mewlips. Not every thing mentioned in Middle Earth is real. Sometimes things are made up by their fictional writers. We see this in real life. Tolkien made his fictional universe truly believable with the Adventures of Tom Bombadil as the book gives us an insight into the literary culture and history of the Shire.

In the first two poems, it is clear that the hobbits of Buckland know folklore of Tom Bombadil dwelling in the Old Forest.

Were-worms also should not be added to the mod as they were only mentioned in the Hobbit, which really should not be taken seriously because of Bilbo’s unreliability as a narrator. He could have made them up along with the last desert as we all know what his poems are like (Errantry). The last desert should remain as it appeared in a Middle Earth map.

Also, the three trolls and the talking purse are likely Bilbo embellishing certain details for humor. After all, those are the only three trolls in Tolkien’s Legendarium that actually speak. Though we see two other talking trolls in the adventures of Tom Bombadil, but they, like the trolls in the hobbit, are also products of a Hobbit’s imagination.

To add this literary culture into the mod, I suggest that maybe some Hobbits could maybe quote lines from these poems or even make comments about them, maybe even review them.

Speaking of reviews, this would open up the possibility of lore-books being added to the mod where the author reviews and critiques these poems or analyzes them. I would certainly enjoy reading things like that. Maybe certain lore books could be retellings of some of these poems similar to how in real life people retell fairy tales in different ways.

I tested the new speechbank system in renewed 5.0 and there's something I've discovered and lets me confused. Look at what these orcs tell.

The first speech is normal but the "We shall break their bones and feast on their flesh!" line is supposed to be only heard if you have unless +100 alignment with Mordor. And I'm a stranger to their eyes! Is it a glitch or was it willed?

What happened to this chunk ? Why is the water white here ?

To more information, this was the chunk where I spawned by creating a new world.

To put it frank, I personaly don't like it as it is now. So I disabled it in the config. There. Easy.

A few suggestions and insights:

First, I think the area unlocked should be bigger, like about the size of Northern Mirkwood. Also, I think there should either be a in-game config option or prompt for new players. I suppose there could be advanced quests in the future where you can unlock larger areas.

So, opinions?

Is it a new map design? New biome? Map of structure generation? The world is changing... This was on the Facebook and Instagram page...

I know I'm not the only person to discuss this, but I wanted to dive deeper into the potential inclusion of vanilla village raids, particularly the unique opportunities provided by combining them with the mod's mechanics.

Prelude: What about Invasions?

As I'm sure we're all aware, the Lord of the Rings mod has included a "raid system" long before vanilla did, in the form of "invasions." In cases such as horses and rabbits, overlaps have often been settled in the favor of vanilla. Am I to suggest that invasions be left behind in favor of vanilla raids? Not necessarily.

I believe the two mechanics serve similar, but ultimately different roles. In fact, including both could add realism and variety to the various factions of Middle-earth:

Invasions:

• Invasions have more room for interpretation, lore-wise. (Do the attackers lack the discipline to launch a more organized attack, or do they lack the resources?)

• Players can initiate invasions.

• Invasions are centered around conquest mechanics.

• Invasions can happen anywhere, rather than just around structures.

• Factions such as Gundabad, Dunland, the Woodland Realm, and (the Riders of) Rohan could utilize invasions.

Raids:

• Vanilla raids can only take place at villages. This gives the impression of a more coordinated attack, such as the Siege of Minas Tirith. (War crimes would be inevitable.)

• Being centered around a single settlement, completion would be unlikely to grant much of a conquest bonus. Instead, the vanilla "hero of the village" effect would be granted (likely along with a reputation bonus.)

• Factions such as Isengard, Mordor, and (possibly) the Morwaith would be able to utilize vanilla-style raids.

In short, Invasions are all-encompassing skirmishes, while Raids are coordinated attacks on settlements. (Considering that, perhaps the names would be better swapped, but that could cause unnecessary confusion. I'll leave it as is for this discussion.)

Settlement Layout and Raid Mechanics

Inspired by the relevant scenes of the Two Towers film, let's use Uruk-hai invasions of Rohirric villages as an example of a Middle-earth raid. A unique attribute of the mod's settlements is the various levels of fortifications. Vanilla villages vary in size, but barring Iron Golems, their defenses hardly change. In contrast, Middle-earth settlements vary greatly in size and defenses.

A small village lacks walls or a strong military, and would be an easy target for enemies (if they are willing to harm civilians.) Larger, more militaristic settlements would have higher defenses, but may be targeted by more destructive forces.

In vanilla, raids begin by entering a village while the player has the "bad omen" effect. (This is acquired by killing an Illager captain.) If this mechanic were kept in Middle-earth, I suppose the equivalent would be killing a commander. But let's get back on-topic.)

The number of waves (and number of enemies in each wave) are determined by the difficulty:

• 3 waves on Easy

• 5 waves on Medium

• 7 waves on Hard

The type of enemy can also depend on difficulty, as seen above. (In Middle-earth, for example, Uruk-hai Berserkers and Olog-hai would probably not be in easy raids against Rohan and Gondor, respectively. Or only in the final wave, perhaps?) In addition, it would make sense if the attacking army's composition depended on the type of settlement. (Bombadiers wouldn't be needed without a wall, for example.) Fortified settlements = stronger enemies.

Side note: In vanilla, a raid can be failed if every villager is killed (meaning the village no longer registers as one). Seeing as the mod allows important NPCs to respawn, would failure conditions have to adjusted? Or would raids put traders in danger? That's not something I think I could answer, so I'll move on.

Reputation and NPCs

In Middle-earth, the differing raid difficulties would provide an interesting element of risk/reward. Completing a raid on a higher difficulty would inherently provide more reputation points, but the process would be far more deadly, both to the player and the settlement.

Successfully completing raids in vanilla grants the "Hero of the Village" effect which, for as long as it is active, causes the local villagers to reduce their prices (and occasionally throw you gifts.) It seems the villagers want to show their gratitude, and possibly convince you to stick around.

In this mod, I could see quite a few additions to this buff (and the storytelling surrounding it), such as:

• Reduced hiring costs

• Quests providing more coins and/or reputation

• Unique flavor text (NPC and quest dialogue referencing your heroism)

• A conquest bonus for the settlement's faction, temporarily keeping it safe from further raids

Conclusion

I could probably go on. But to wrap this up, I'd just like to stress how much I love and admire what this mod has accomplished. After all these years, y'all continue to blow my mind. I'm not a Tolkien scholar (though I wish I were), and I don't know if any of my thoughts will be unique or helpful, but I gave it my best effort.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! :)

I have some thoughts on the Cerinrim and vertical slabs.

The Cerinrim, although a popular planned faction, are now possibly not going to be added, probably due to alignment overlap. To elaborate, the Cerinrim are enemies of every faction in Far Harad, which poses some alignment problems. For example, if you were allied to the Taurithrim but killed some Cerinrim in a Mowaith area of influence, then you would gain alignment with the Morwaith, or vice versa.

I think that the lore should be rewritten to make the Cerinrim somehow the friends of the Morwaith or Taurethrim to avoid this issue.

Vertical slabs are going to be added in the next renewed snapshot, hence the long update time. However, vertical slabs are probably going to be added to Minecraft in the future, so it seem that some of the vanilla block vertical slabs will have to be deleted if a update adds them.
