I need help looking for particular mods and resources

Post » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:02 pm

So, I am working on a manor mod, which is going to be the first piece to a larger mod. I am stuck on one thing: Chimneys and fireplaces. Using the resources on Oblivion Real Estate, I have been able to find a resource for modular vanilla fireplaces. This works just great for me and I have already placed a couple in the house.

My next issue is finding Exterior statics of chimneys. I am nowhere near the level of expertise to make my own, and I cannot find ANY resource or mod that has a separate piece. Can anyone help me out? I would also like to be able to ensure smoke since the chimneys in Oblivion for me already do this, thanks to AWLS.

Anyone willing to help me out or maybe even build a few for me?

Thanks in advance for your time!

I made one for my one and only (yes, it's a home ;) ) mod - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34667. You are welcome to use it. It doesn't have the nif blocks for use with AWLS, I just added a smoke static to it.

Awesome! I'll put it to good use...till I find out how to do otherwise ;). I'm learning a lot! You will be credited if this 'thing' should see a release ;)

I would still like to try and get AWLS to work with it... I'm sure I can figure it out. I'm working on modeling and textureing. I am good at modeling. Not so much with texturing. :confused:

According to the AWLS readme (or wherever I read it), adjusting the settings on the smoke related blocks is rather tedious. That was enough to put me off.

If you are good at modeling then importing a vanilla building mesh, chopping out all but the exterior chimney and then exporting should be easy for you. I'm not a modeler and did it the slow way in NifSkope. The collision is just a box.
