Mod suggestion: Lord Of The Rings

Would love a LOTR mod for Battlefield 1942.

A lot of factions and armies (Elves, Orcs, Men, Dwarves, Hobbits, Goblins, Nazgul) could be made from scratch and there would be plenty of battlefields to make them play on (Mines of Moria, Pelennor Fields, Gondor, Osgiliath, Mirkwood, Rivendale, The Shire).

Would also be nice to fly and walk around as Nazgul, Balrog, Haradrim, Ringwraiths and all the different creatures from Middle Earth.
Any talented modders up for the task?

Doesn't sound too complex, it's possible I guess, but I aint a modder so idk, there's been some pretty complex mods in the past though.

Re: Mod suggestion: Lord Of The Rings

I'm interested in the LOTR Mod, and am bringing my old server back online for the game again.  I modded before but nothing on the order of this complexity.  However, if anyone is still interested in this let me know and maybe we can get started on this.

I'm just curious, do you have an example in modding for BF1942 or other games? Like 3D model or some map/s?

Re: Mod suggestion: Lord Of The Rings

A project of this size is pretty much impossible to do now. The modding community of BF1942, or what remains of it is fragmented into modders working on solo projects. The only exception to that rule are the modding teams for huge conversion mods such as Galactic Conquest, FHSW and, previously, BG42. So unless we can gather a team of sound engineers, mappers, modelers, skinners and other artists that are all interested in the same project, it is going to be hard to launch a LOTR mod.

Re: Mod suggestion: Lord Of The Rings

To be honest, I am much more interested to see a "Korean war" mod for Battlefield 1942 as most of the equipment used in Korean conflict are in WWII origin. Plus the engagement of 2 fighter aircraft adapted the swept-wing concept from the Germans, i.e. F-86 Sabre and Mig-15. And the rise of helicopters in Medevac and transport role.

And of course, to simulate the conflict of 1950-1953 (w/c both North and South Korea, up to this day are still "technically" at war) of what was known as "The forgotten war".
