================== 3. What's new ==================


In this new version of Barbada Island, you will be given the possibility to go to 3 entirely new islands which no one has ever seen before.

Seawings isle, Anglia Island, and Jungle Island, will all be included in this 4. version of Barbada Island.
All of the islands is still under 'construction' and is not done yet, but there is already at this time so much work in the three of them so we think we will show it to you.

Seawings isle:

Seawings isle is a neighbor island to Barbada Island and it houses the city "Port Rock". Port rock serves as a Merchant city where a lot of the goods from the seas are created and sold.
Besides from the city, the island is a rough cliff island and the giant rocks is majestic and shows the strength of the nature.


Anglia Island:

Is a small but yet interesting island. from the foggy swamp to the high grounds, the island is very detailed.


Jungle Island:

Jungle Island is by far the biggest of the 4 existing islands, if you ever have wished to see a jungle in Oblivion, then this is our try to create one



================== 4. Info ==================


Travel Sequence

We've added a possibility to skip the travel sequence. Do only use this if one of the following problems is one of yours

You have a Hunger or sleep mod Installed
You're game crashes when you try to watch the sequence
You're Travel Sequence takes a year or so to pass ;P

The AI will bug a little, untill it gets updated, if you choose to skip, but for those with one or more of these problems it should do okay (at least you get to see the island )


================== 5. Known Bugs ==================


1. If your game crashes when you activate the ship lever, then wait a couple of hours in game and try again ( wait to around 4 pm)
Its not known if this bug appears in the 4 Beta version, but the solution above should still be able to fix the problem

2. Because of the Eula law, we can not redistribute the Jungle Roots that we have created, so the big "?" on Jungle island is created because of mising meshes.
We will as quickly as possible upload a fix to this problem.

3. We have included some non low mesh _far models of stones to improve the visuality of the islands, if you use TES4LODGen then remove these (unless you want lag) before you generate LOD for bigger worldspaces like Tamriel.
Barbada Island will as a mod become a lot more beautifull if you use TES4LODGen to create lod data, but remember to untick all other mods

It looks good! Nice work! :goodjob:

Thanks Washington

Wow, nice job! Keep it up!

Wow! This looks really nice. As much work as you're doing on it, it's probably going to be fantastic.

Any chance you'll consider making a version without Knights of the Nine dependency when you get done with it? *crosses fingers*

Thanks for the positive comments!

Yay! I'll download it & try it out at your next update. So happy that it doesn't require KOTN.

Wow thank you for the PM! Will download right away!

Yeah, what he said! Going to download & try it. Thanks for letting me know!

Good work! Don't let that lack of comments discourages you! I have downloaded the mod and will try it when I get time! :goodjob:

Go to top for newest information

Congratulations on update! You might want to make it more clear on PES which file do we have to download. Or if both, specify that.

Is this compatible with Unique Landscapes? Specifiably Unique Landscapes : Lost Coast.

Yes it is Almost Perfectly compatible with Unique Landscapes : Lost Coast.
the only thing it changes is the that it removes the small path to the new harbor, but you are still able to go to Black Bottle Bay

I have finally tried it!

I like that it has voice acting, but Tuffed Alesswell could be a bit louder. He also has mismatched lip sync. But, it's no biggie.
Voice acting is a big plus in my book.

The journey to Barbada island is interesting concept. At first moment I thought it was a glitch, but when I figured it out I thought that it's a nice and original idea.
I have very bad performance in Black Bottle Bay town, very bad lag. When I look in other direction, it's good. What could be the cause?

The island itself is nice. Several interesting places on small area. I particularly like the path to the lighthouse and to the reef that goes between boulders.

I found a floating tree somewhere just behind town.
Local map on the island was messed up. I don't know if the 'local map bug' (where editing cell 3,3 messes up the local map) applies to custom world spaces too.

Edit:
Oh, and about the fort... Not finished yet, huh? the door took me on some small islands with some scene prepared, but no actors there. Also some land textures seem weird. Purple tint? is that intentional?

Waaaaaiiit a second! From Denmark? Cool we need more danes around here!
Also :goodjob:

Thanks for the Comment Washington!

some answer to your reply

Tofed Alesgood is the black sheep in Black Bottle Bay We made him a long time ago, and now we really don't like the voice acting and the quest has it's bugs, But on the other side, The quest gives you something to do on the island in the lag of no Mainquest, so we keep him for now, but in the next release we redo the entire quest hehe

Glad that you like our traveling concept! I thought it was a good idea to symbolise a travel for 7 days (in the quest 5 and 2 days)

The lag bug in town is mainly because of the amount of npc's walking the market and all the apple's, tomatoes and pear's. Right now we are thinking of what items we need to delete so the Framrate can raise again, but thats something we are work on.

I'm really glad that you liked the island! and I too like the little path to the Lighthouse really liked that idea

And about the fort Fort Island (name at the moment) was actully just an area i made which i thought was cool for a scene, but i haven't made a quest for it yet so i just placed the door so people could see the island. In the next release the door will be removed untill a prober quest can use the island

Last thing the map, by the local map then you mean the one up close right? because i know theres a bug there. No player arrow and the map move around all wrong. I have no idea why that does'ent work, i've asked around the forum but they have no answer.
There's a little bug on the World-map on the top part of the island, i've tried to fix it and its alright for the mods current state.


Really Thanks again for the reply and hope you enjoyed the mod!

And thanks to you to Nic-V, your thorak Island mod looks great to!

Mhh... why are all the links and screenshots gone?
The mod sounds interesting and I'd really like to try it out...

Here's your answer:


I hope that you'll solve the lag issue in the town. For me, it's practically impossible to play when facing the town.

To Fearabbit

I am very glad that you want to try it!
All the screenshots is still on Planet Elder Scrolls? I still se them, and so is the Barbada Island Mod, here is a link:
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=5569
if you still don't see them, please write again


To Wasingthon
I dont think i changed anything in the 3,3 cell but its close to the island, so i dont know if its possible to fix but i try
And i will make sure that the lag in town is decreased a lot in the next update

I have just had a quick check in TES4Edit and you should clean the file before releasing new version.
http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/TES4Edit_Cleaning_Guide
http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/TES4Edit/Mod_cleaning_tutorial_with_TES4Edit

Here are two tutorials.

At least undelete and disable, but I think that you should remove all those accidental edits that you can find. For example some edit in the IC market district.

Good luck!
