Black marsh heightmap progress

[The Grey Wizard]

Thank you for the kind comments, I will help your mod under two conditions. One is, for your own benifit, more ambition as a team. It requires undying enthusism to finish a TC. I don't see enought out of the group as a whole and want to see more people(inside the team, not out) getting exsited about what direction this mod can take and what can be done. A TC should be an exsiting experince, not a dull responsibility. Even if people arn't making a ton of models, attention from ambitious people will get this mod done. The second, not anywhere near as importain is, I want to have the right to use your resources in my mod as well. As far as Paris Hilton goes, I totally agree, I couldn't hate her more myself, but if you know how I feel about Oblivion's presentation, then you will know that I definatly am not impressed with Hilton in the least.

I am uploading ESP now, I would apperciate it if this thread would be moved to a more accesable place.

Done:

Do I have to join to download it?
When I do download it, It is viewable in game or just the screen? I never could understand hieghtmaps.

RESPOND QUICK! PLZ, It means alot to me. Anyway, it's an ESP, just load it in CS and veiw it in height map editor. If you want I can make a demo of Stormhold that you can travle to and you can check it out ingame. Tell me ASAP, as I don't like waiting to work.

Oh, and join it to DL, no, I don't think so, I didn't.

It's been a while and still no responce, this does not please me.
Anyway, I labled precise locations for towns and labled them and their coordinates. These corrdinates give an idea of how big the map it.


That map will come in most handy when starting a new city on the map. I think we should concentrate on just Stormhold for now, get this beta out, then Tackle the rest of the major cities I labeled, then go for the deatils of all the small towns and villages. What say you!? And of course, reply ASAP!

Edit again: Damn, who ever checks these forums? Two man project one again? Anyway, I'm working on Stormhold and I made a texture I think we should use for the towers. here is a rar containing the .dds's

Awesome once again.
I go to college so I can't always be checking the forum, sorry. That's why I have KK helping me. He does a lot.
Anyway, there is a thread called Final Concepting of Stormhold Beta on the front forum. There should be maps and concepts to give you an idea of Stormhold. I think I even put a final city map on there. Just use pre-existing buildings and only worry about the exterior right now.

One more thing, I can't get your heightmap off the site. It says there is a password.

Thanks :bow:
also, i believe stormhold can be totally made with just tilesets from TES4 Oblivion. The city itself is Imperial, but made on an Ayleid ruin. Maybe the foundation is Ayleid and going into the sewers can lead you to a massive Ayleid ruin, mostly submerged... hrug:

yeah that password thing is really bugging me too

What about retextures? Is there any need to show water damage/decay/moss/slime or anything like that? I saw that StormHold was supposed to be dry, but I thought I'd ask.

[The Grey Wizard]

Ask Swedish Fish for the password, I PMed it to him.

Stormhold is relatively north, mostly unaffected by Argonia. If we decide to change that idea it will come later.

I just got done testing Stormhold ingame. I'll have some shots uploaded in my next edit, after that, the beta upload. Ingame, all I can say is... WOW... I love Stormhold, it's so awsome with all the bridges and rain and vines. I like it. I can do alot more with it, but the rest of my night belongs to sleep. Iv'e worked hard on this. Threre are still some slight things I need to work out, but you'll see in the screen shots, nothing I can't handle. BTW, weather in Stormhold is 50%rain, 40%T-storm, 5%cloudy, and 5%clear. If these don't sound accurate enough I shall change them, but it seems to always be raining in Stormhold.

As you can see with the vine and floating house, I need to do some touch up work. Also, this is a small town/large village. Should it be bigger? I think it's an appropriot size personally, but I am no TES Lorest. I will PM you the beta, no password. I will host it on a diffrent site this time so nobody else can download it. Go to the Bravil Mages' Guild and you will se my idea for Black Marsh Fast Travel, and your passage to Stormhold.

It looks good to me, Grey Wizard. I'm afraid that I don't know anything about size either, I like it though. Can't wait to start on the interiors.
