Very sad to see that LH's stuff is hidden. Feels like it's punishing everyone for the actions of a few, which is a bit unfair, as many of us love their work.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28908 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! It's December 25th and so I think presents are in order for all the good girls and boys! Here is a Woodcutter's Axe and a Mining Pick that match (as best as I can conceive) your OP. They are cleaner, newer, more ornate. AXE: http://ladystark.webs.com/axe.jpg PICK: http://ladystark.webs.com/pick.jpg Installation Instructions: Download the rar file and unpack the rar into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim NOTE: This overwrites the default textures so make backups if you want to remove it later. Conflicts: None known. CREDITS: Texture: Lady_Stark_ Unwrapping / Testing: KatoPlato

You too, have a great Christmas and New Year :) although I'll be working for most of it so I'll be about :)

Tell you what, I'll ask one of my Dev Team colleagues if they will provide me with the texture file and I'll do it that way, as I can't do any more work on the Mod till Saturday when I go and get my reference pictures. I won't be able to remodel the handle for you, but I will be able to give you the engraved axe-head. :) I'll post it here when/if it's done :)

Fair enough, you'll find out soon enough then ;) I'm on Book 5 Part 2, reading it REALLY slowly so there isn't a massive gap between finishing it and waiting for Book 6 lol

That is beautiful, although I'm afraid it is not Oathkeeper, If you want to know what Oathkeeper is then click spoiler, but this sword has no name in the books. still I can't wait to use this. :)

If you can get someone to unwrap it from the model and e-mail it to me, I can do that for you within minutes, then I can send it back to the Modeller to re-wrap and release and you have one identical axe :) Wish I could model or I'd do it for you now :) But my offer is there, if you can get me the picture I can do this for you.

I agree, should they have asked..... yes, but they haven't, however I still hope they win their case. If they were doing harm to a franchise or maliciously using copyrighted material to bring LOTR or WB into disrepute, I would understand. At the end of the day, the courts will decide, I do however hope it falls in their favor, although from the research and reading I have done, that the courts are not truly equipped to deal with this sort of substance yet looking at how outdated their proceedings on these matters are. Which is interesting considering that "modding" is not a new concept by any terms.

Understood.... but they aren't using their work for profit and they aren't destroying someone else's work or defaming it. There are countless mods out there on countless platforms from Game of Thrones, Band of Brothers, Star Wars..... all of these didn't ask for the rights, they merely made something that was loved and enjoyed by many, as fans of something they take care for authenticity and making sure it stands up to scrutiny.... Did you see some of the Games that get released for money about films and TV shows? Which are nothing more than losely tied in, poorly coded, awfully written all to cash in on a few quid? I'd rather see something lovingly created by volunteers who put their heart and soul into it for no other reason than love.... than a piece of s*** equivalent title that was made by well payed people that are by and large ignorant of the actual title they are working on, just so a games company or e.g. Warner Brothers can do no more than cash in, rather than give the fans something good. If their titles fulfilled this task, people wouldn't feel the need to mod. Look at Skyrim, literally THOUSANDS of mods, because bethesda released a broken game... Shuold modding not be allowed at all? If you make a mod for Skyrim should Bethesda not slap a cease and desist on you? Now Bethesda released a CK, but think of all the games going back decades that have been modded and altered that didn't offer CKs...... I'm just saying, there's a number of ways they could fight this, not just fair usage, but other ways (perhaps less credible, but would still tie up Warner Brothers and make them openly be the bad guy.) MERP deserves to get made, and they have broken no laws. It's a very complex issue with multiple facets, but the long and short is, they deserve support, and Warner Brothers and many other corporations like them, need to be shown that they can't bully the little guy because of their institutionalized greed. So respectfully sir "They didn't get permission" isn't just enough.

Signed the petition, best of luck to you, I'm not a huge fan or LOTR, but I respect and support the work you are doing that will grant joy and entertainment to thousands of LOTR fans world wide. It's a shame that at the end of the day 4 years work could be lost all because of one greedy corporation. Warner Brothers will be receiving no more money from me, that is for sure.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!! I am so grateful that google found this topic, as I have been having a nightmare trying to get some environmental objects that really should NOT be shiny, to be matte and through your help we did that. Thank you so much :) You saved my colleague and I sooooo much exploitative and experimental work, literally HOURS of research and development. :) You're a genius.

Not at all, go for it :)

Excellent! Congrats :) I look forward to working with you :)

Absolutely :) come over to the forums or either the web page or the moddb page. They are really friendly and I've steamed through my assignments over the last 48 hours, so progress is happening :) Say I sent you from the Nexus ;)

I use this mod and I love it! it's my favourite along side Vilja. I believe we are in talks with them, I'm relatively new, so I don't know if they have helped us previously or are interested in it, but I sure hope so because they do Stirling work! Thank you. :)

I can't personally speak to that, I'm new to the team, I'm just doing them a favour here because, I have an account already. The Mod Leaders will deal with that side of things, I'm really just a texture artist / voice actor / writer. It's a very good and important question, one I shall try and get an answer for.

Yes I've seen many Total Conversion mods for various games over the past couple of decades and it is true that only a handful ever make it to completion. But I genuinely believe if anyone can do it, these people can. The assignments are coming out nice and steady, we're seeing some excellent in-game progress. I'm not allowed to say too much, but most Total Conversions tend to stall before they get going either through internal bickering and conflicts of ideas, or they simply just haven't the commitment or sometimes even thought it through properly and what it entails. But what struck me as soon as I got into the Dev Team section and took a good hard look around, is how well organised they are, that when two artists disagree with each other there's a thoughtful, rational, adult debate which leads to a satisfying conclusion. There appears to be little room for egos, they are a very mature bunch and yet they don't appear to discriminate by age, so long as the person is competent and genuinely has a passion for the mod, they are really welcoming. In short, I totally agree with your thoughts and feelings regards these kind of projects, so many make bold statements and fail to deliver. But if what I've seen so far is anything to go by, then even if it takes a while, this will be one epic total conversion to remember. They are efficient, organised, respectful, and personally what I find MOST important... is that they REALLY care about the subject matter, the attention to detail is incredible, they are serious about what they intend and I for one can't wait to see where this takes us, because I am enjoying the hell out of the work I've done already. Keep watching for us ;) Take care.

Thank you to those who have applied to us through this topic. your applications are being processed as we speak, however please keep them coming in :) the more the merrier and the more people we have the quicker everyone gets a release. :) Thanks again your contributions are appreciated.

Thank you, you are an absolute STAR! I am incredibly grateful. If I have any bother finding it, I will PM you, THANK YOU :)

Does anybody know where I can get one? There used to be one I had with 7, but I have googled extensively and I can't find one for 9. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. :)

+1 kudos to you sir! :) thanks for leaving a message. :)

sorry to do this but |I'm going to bump it.

Hey everybody, I have recently discovered and joined this awesome band of modders who are trying to create a Total Conversion for Skyrim. You should see what they are trying to achieve it is simply stunning. Things are going really well and they are always looking for people who are interested in joining in. You name it, your skills are welcome, modding, scripting, coding, writing, voice acting, texture artistry, even if you just have a good working knowledge or want to post suggestions, drop by and see what you think. :) Their Official Site:Project Westeros Their ModDB site:Project Westeros You can do as much or as little as you have time for, they're a really friendly bunch who welcomed me very warmly, but this is a mod that deserves to get made. If you loved the Skyrim Conversion Mod, then this will blow you away. http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/21/20937/thumb_620x2000/Westeros_Compare_2a.jpg Come take a look Lady_Stark_
