I believe they intend to support Middle Earth as a rebranding, so probably creating new repository is in order. Indeed, you'll have to change game system ID (and thus switch it in every catalogue as well - it requires manual editing of XML) - but none other, since gst id acts as a root context for catalogues (so they won't clash with original Hobbit. It's a good time to reset revisions, update names, filenames etc, and of course probably rework the force organization, with a perspective of expansions like Hobbit, Gondor, LotR etc.

@Zhaph I was looking at taking a crack at working on the BS file for MESBG too if you would like the help!

Hi, I've been on vacation, so now that I'm back, we can create the repo. Which doesn't mean it needs to be released immediately. I'd say that first release should contain at least all armies/catalogues. Validation issues are of less concern.
So I'll go ahead and create the new repo, and give you write access - but I'd advise not to create a release until you're providing at least all armies and units, validation aside.

Any word on the new, empty repo yet @amis92 ?

Having read the into to Armies of LotR now, it looks like Option 1 might be better as it states:
What about The Hobbit?
[...] all of the profiles, army lists, rules and Scenarios that focus on The Hobbit are presented in The Armies of the Hobbit. [That] works in much the same way as this manual, and is fully compatible with the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.
Indeed some of the army lists refer to options in those lists (notably The Kingdom of Kazad-Dรปm).
However the release of that isn't for another few months, but there are some PDFs to tide us over:
In the meantime you can use the profiles found in Hero's and Villains of Middle Earth download and The Hobbit: Motion Picture Trilogy There and Back Again. There is also a free PDF download available [...] with the army lists, and what they contain, as well as the Heroic Tiers and Heroic Abilities of all the hero's found in The Hobbit

I've started work in a fork of The Hobbit, mostly so that I can re-use a lot of the rules etc, and I've been updating the .gst for starters (references, values, etc.) - I assume you would need to create the new repo within BSData and then I can apply to join it and start building up the work in there?

Hi @cordwartman great to have some help, I'm about two thirds of the way through the "special rules" in the middleearth
branch of my fork, but I should probably take the catalogue files out as I've probably broken them horribly while I pull out various old rules etc.
I plan of following the existing Hobbit structure fairly closely, with any rules shared between warbands in the root gst file, but anything warband specific in the appropriate catalogue.

I've created a project and some issues to get started.

My work sent me to a different office for the week because of the hurricane, I may have time this weekend to put in some work updating an army list, probably take a shot at Isengard.

No worries @cordwartman - feel free to take a stab at it. You'll see that I've moved the original .cat
files into a folder called "original" until I start working on them - stops the Roster editor having a fit that they are broken when you open the game system.
from catalogue-development.
@amis92 Just to let you know, we're getting there with the port on my fork of The Hobbit, do you want to wait until we're "first pass" complete before you set up an "official" repo, or should we start considering the move sooner?
As I see it there are pros and cons to both:
- We'll have more visibility, and therefore more potential help.
- We've only got about 4 or 5 armies ready at the moment, but a lot of groundwork has now been completed.
- We're still in a bit of flux (i.e. settling on how we manage models that appear in multiple lists, etc - roll on 2.2 I say) so anyone that starts using it may have breaking changes.
- There are quite a few known issues around list validity.
from catalogue-development.
Sounds great @amis92 much appreciated. Will happily hold off creating releases.
from catalogue-development.
If you could also give @cordwartman write access, that would be great, we're working together on it nicely at the moment.

Hi @Zhaph, @cordwartman,
Please accept the invitation in the email or on the webpage. Welcome aboard!
Don't forget to read through wiki, there are some useful guides, especially Data Author Guide.
Please read carefully:
As this is a new repository, please read Data Author Guide linked above very carefully.
Also I created a new, org-linked Gitter chat room (GitHub login): .
Cheers!
Amis
