Open Interior Claims in Gnisis - cire992 - 07-03-2007
Gnisis
Edit- Dave_91: If a claim uses the hammock model as used in Morrowind, please use the bedroll model as a temporary substitute until a hammock model is made.
I've pulled up a number of reference shots from the Morrowind CS for the interiors of this bustling Redoran mining and agricultural town.
Gnisis is a mining town in the West Gash. It is under Imperial control, but feels much Redoran influence. Its residency consists almost entirely of Dunmer and Orcs, with a smattering of Imperials. As a mining town, Gnisis and its residents are heavily dependent on the Gnisis eggmine, which has become blighted.
There is a small Dunmer temple in the middle of Gnisis, notable for Vivec's Ashmask and important to members of the Tribunal Temple on pilgrimage. Various stands surround the temple where the player can buy and sell goods. A silt strider platform which has transportation to Ald'ruhn, Khuul, and other towns, stands on the edge of the village. Additionally, on the outskirts of Gnisis is Arvs-Drelen, a Telvanni necromancer's tower, home to Baladas Demnevanni, whom players may be sent to see on various missions. - Courtesy of Wikipedia
The IDs of the cells are as such: GnisisTS03 = Shishara Hut (you would stick VvXX in front of that with XX being your modder ID, So I'd put VvC9GnisisTS03). TS = Temple Square, 03 is the number of the building.
I've also posted interior descriptions for these cells. Remember that we are modding a Vvardenfell that is set six years after Morrowind, and some of the interiors look different and/or are inhabited by different people. Nonetheless, the shots should give you a solid idea of the interior layout, as the tilesets we are using in Oblivion are virtually the same as the ones in these shots from Morrowind.
Also, when working with the public Redoran tileset use collision mode (F4) to see where any invisible surfaces may be. Seeing as most of the claims work so far has been SilgradTower.esm dependent, you can go ahead and use those assets. Make sure you have the latest version.

Claims - Tlo1048 - 07-09-2007
I'd like to claim the barracks, and the tradehouse.
Thanks!!!
-Tlo-
- Dave_91 - 07-09-2007
You may, though both of those buildings are large. I'd say do one at a time.
I'll add you to the claim list, let us know if you change your mind.
- leonidas - 07-13-2007
I'd like to do one of the huts, Man-llu (because it sounds cool), this would be my first claim for Silgrad Tower, I am partway through downloading the assets and the modders esm. And I have claimed an abbreviation, I think that's all I need.
- cire992 - 07-13-2007
Indeed it is, you can also download our heightmap, but it's not required. Man-Llu hut is yours. Have fun, buddy! :goodjob:
- leonidas - 07-13-2007
Quick question: When I make my NPC what format do I use to give him his ID?
- Dave_91 - 07-13-2007
VvXXNPCIDHere
Where XX is your mod ID
For example:
VvDvVedamDren
-Is that what you meant?
- leonidas - 07-13-2007
^Yes, exactly what I meant.
EDIT: Is the modders esm supposed to have an all over sandy texture for it's buildings? And are they supposed to be without holes for doors?\
BTW Nammu Man-llu is female (in TES3 that is)
- cire992 - 07-13-2007
Oh sorry @ Man-llu gender mix-up, I have trouble with details at times. As for the texture, I think the public version of the redoran tileset is a reduced version of the real thing. So don't worry, when Silgrad 3.0 (or whatever they release the full set in) comes out, it'll all look perfect!
- Dave_91 - 07-13-2007
Quote:EDIT: Is the modders esm supposed to have an all over sandy texture for it's buildings? And are they supposed to be without holes for doors?\The textures look no different in the provate version as far as I can tell. I could be wrong though, I didn't use the Velothi set much beforehand so it may be easy for me to get confused or miss certain details.
If you mean the doorjamb, look for 'StInVelSmallDoorFrame01', I sometimes find it hard to locate. Click on 'Velothi' from the ST statics in the CS instead of navigating to interior/exterior to show all the Velothi pieces, makes it easier to locate, IMO. If that's the doorjamb you meant.
