Yes we have the Test of Disorder, it consists of levers, these levers are set upon a maze of steam pipes, moving the correct levers into position will open the "ball doors" so that the player can get into the main hall
We keep this as the first test
Secondly, we need a Test of Patterns
If we remember MW this test was used to recover the Dwemer book (I think the "Egg of Time") for Yagrum to translate (Mages Quest)
It consisted of 4 steam turbines, selecting the correct crank on the turbine opened the secret "wall" door leading to a lower level
This test could be similar we could have 4 or 6 items that when sequenced properly will open the door to the next area
I think I would like to see something different, maybe we can have 6 pedestals and six stones of different size, placing the stones in proper order on the pedistals would open the door, but the order wouldn't be based on size, possibly we can write this into the book, partially a sequence of mathematics.... I will think on a good math puzzle for this
Then the Test of Evasion
for this we should have a maze of corridors, choosing the correct corridors will keep the player from encountering an enemy, or trap, for this we can add a map... skewed with vague information but enough to help the player somewhat
and lastly the Test of confrontation
Thi wil require a very powerful but defeatable golem or large construct for the player to deal with, even if we don't use that we can use several regualar constructs
All these are similar to what is found in Sotha's Clockwork city
and of course their should be some sort of punishemnt for failure
posions are nice, maybe for the test of evasion rather than have enemys to fight once the door is open to that cell it releases posion gas and the player has only so much time to get through the maze before he/she dies from the gas
those are my thoughts
enjoy

How far on are you with this Bob? is it complete?
- InsanitySorrow - 10-17-2007
This has really been inactive for a long time, I think Bob196045 has completed it so I will remove the thread.

Sorry I had not responded sooner, actually I am not finished with this, so I moved it back
It is pending the layout of the interior, I would like to complete it in a way that it reflects how the interior actually looks, if we have the interior tile set available that layout can be started
(whom will be doing this ?)

Sorry about that Bob196045, just trying to clean up abit. Anyway not sure who is doing that yet.
- bob196045 - 10-17-2007
No problemo
I like clean
Well the first question (which I think we've talked about before) is do we have the tileset available ?
I know that we do not have the "dwarven" stuff used in Tribunal (which is highly important) but if we have the "dwemer" stuff we can a minimum get the corridors and some of the rooms layed out
Also if we have any of the exterior and a cave tile set we can start on the main city
I can put a layout together using the morrowind cs to give a "view from the top" a basic layout with general locations, we can discuss and modify as needed
Enjoy

TID's doing it, though he's been doing it for the past year... I technically have a dwemer tileset, it just needs to be scaled up 6.8x... and i'm almost certain it's not the final version by any means.
he's a busy guy, so i can't blame him for not having our tileset as his top priority. I'll ask him about it a bit later. (or someone else can ask him if they want)

Reason: Bob196045 is still working on this
Bob, how is this going, is it ready to be implemented?
- bob196045 - 02-25-2009
Howdy
Well technically it is finished, but on a more technical side it is not
The journal is supposed to provide some details as to the contents and visuals of the Ruin, but we haven't got to that point yet in the interior builds so I have nothing to put in these places
Such as the appearence of the wards and structures
The path taken and some of the traps encountered
all this should be in the journal as Doran saw them during his short visit and will give the player points of reference when navigating through the corridors
Enjoy
Bob
