Barbada Island Mod (BETA)

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:15 am

Hmnmm well I don't use either wrye or Boss ( i don't even know what boss is xD ) but you won't have any compatibility problems with unique landscapes because most of Barbada Island is in another worldspace :)

but this load order should be fine

Please tell me if it doesn't work ;)

Sorry for not responding for so long I just got it to work looks awesome hope for a newer update. A few issues maybe you can help me with.


1. I have the 3.5 beta and when I go to the ship leveler I try tro do the regular way but it froze the image. I was able to get to the island by by passing the ship opening sequence.

2. The load screens work but there all uglly lokking no pictures don't know how to fix it.. I do use atonspheric load screen I don't know if this is a problem

3. I did get a ctd when trying to acess the lighthouse door also


4. I hope you can help me with these issues. I really is a great mod keep up the good work :foodndrink:

1)
Well this mostly happens on non-high end computers. The reason is that I actually speed up the time many times so 5 days pass in about 15 seconds, and the computer needs to figure the AI out real fast, that takes a lot of CPU.
That is the reason why I added the second option :)

2)
Well, I've heard of the problem before, I think I end by up just deleting my loading screens, because it seems that a lot of computers destroys their quality. Although it could be a problem related to "atonspheric load screen".
I will se if I can find a way to fix it

3)
Hmm well that sounds really strange! Never heard or experience that happened :blink: Well did you try to go in there more than one time? perhaps it was a single ctd?


I'm really happy that you made it to the island, and I hope you enjoyed it, and that you will be up to try the first chapter when I get done with it ;P

Btw Actually, I have already made 3 more islands, the only thing that keeps me from uploading the first chapter is because I need to make Quest work, and it just takes a long time, but you should definitely see the other islands, I like them almost as much as Barbada Island :D (psst they are also a lot bigger :D )

Just want to tell you guys that I am making progress, slowly though ;)
I have been doing a lot of other stuff over the last 4 month, but I have now for this last week worked on Barbada Island so I thought I would let you know that I started the work again.

But keep in mind that I also work for MERP so I also have to give that some time, but fortunately for all you Barbada users (and myself :P ), I make a lot of models for MERP which I will use in this Barbada mod also.
check out my site to see some of the work: http://sites.google.com/site/awiaoblivion/pictures/models---mod-category

Remember I'm always happy to receive critic, ideas and/or testers

Hey guys :D
So I have been thinking: Would you guys like me to post a version 4. that includes all the new islands, even though they are supposed to be a part of the main quest later on.
It will be a bit spoily, but at least you get to see the work I've done :D So would you like me to post a version 4.?

Version 4. Uploaded!

I look forward to hear some feedback from you guys!
And I hope that you will enjoy it



Notes:

I'm having some problems uploading it to Planetelderscrolls because of the size of the file but it should be up soon.
To get to the new islands, pull the lever from Barbada island so you arrive on the great ocean and then pull the lever again and you will get a menu from which you can choose where you want to go :)

I've just made a brand new heightmap for yet another tropical island, this one is going to be the largest that I've created :D
So far it looks very good, and I'm looking forward to see the result.

This island will also be the first which I will try to create using the region-generator tool, I'm looking forward to see if i can come up with some good settings.
Also, this island is named Volcano Crater Island for now. The name explains a lot, but I will post some screenies when I make some basic landscape textures for the island.

BTW I have uploaded the Barbada_Island to Planetelderscrolls FTP server but I have not received an answer from their admin, but I believe that it will be up soon

News:

I've finished the rough land-texturing of the new island ;D I will post some screens soon :D
And I've also started the making of new model. A frigate imperial ship! I've made drawings and the basic model, I will also upload some screens of that soon.

I will hopefully have the possibility to make a lot of work next week, because its my vacation week :D

Awia:

This mod looks very interesting. I love the screenshot of the volcano crater.

(Scanned the thread, but did not read every post.) Is this mod still incompatible with the Anvil Bay Expansion? I would be difficult for me (and many others) to give up ABE . ;)

Hey Hem

Yes there are some problems (most visual ones) with the Anvil bay mod, but its nothing huge, if you make the load order correct then it should be no problem :D

here is the load order that seems to work

Barbada IslandAnvil Bay Expansion 



I hope this helps you and that you will try it out :D

I'm really glad you liked the picture! I really hope that I can make the regions soon so I can generate objects

I'm making a good progress on the Frigate ship if I have the skills to make it properly then it will be amazing :D

I've also made minor changes to the Volcano crater heightmap, hopefully regions will be generated soon ;)
