Are we decided on scale then?

Master file creation shouldn't be difficult. A tool like TES4Gecko can turn it back and forth between an ESP, ESM and merge files for you very easily.
Unwanted records can be removed in the CS (in ESP form), or using a hexeditor or something like TES4Edit. I'm downloading the last master (1.03) now to take a look, but it should be easy to combine them just using TES4Gecko. I don't want it as a 'job' so to speak, but in these early stages it should be simple to maintain; it only becomes complex when lots of modders are submitting their mods and you have watch in case their ESP accidentally removes content from the master or clashes with content from another.


I think everyone should go ahead with town building regardless of region generation; we don't know how long it'll take to get that together, even in a simple format. I don't want anything holding people back from working on this mod once the heightmap and master are merged, it's waited enough. We can easily merge in region generated areas in to the master once they've been created. For the first stage, the placed TES3 content ESP can be used as a temporary version of region generation for anyone that wishes to visit the landscape. This takes the pressure off someone feeling the entire project is still held up waiting for the region generation to be setup and generated.


Btw Dave_91 - you have to double-click on one of the batch files to generate the DistantLand textures (either 1024x1024, 2048x2048 or 4096x4096). It's all in the short Readme in the 7z file. Smile It saves disk space, upload and download time this way.
