Stirk

Stirk, an idyllic resort isle for Cyrodiil's wealthy located in the mild Abecean sea, is a corner of paradise away from the turmoil of the mainland. A town, a picturesque lighthouse, an age-old fort, and a bustling new goldmine complete the island's natural beauty. Not all is well however, for beneath Stirk's pleasant exterior an ancient evil has awoken...

Venture into the depths of the isle and its past to save the residents of Stirk in a two-sided main quest steeped in Tamriel's lore.
Help either the miners or the oppressive owner of the mine and leave a lasting impact on the town's future.
Partake in the daily life of the town's residents and discover that even the rich have troubles in six miscellaneous quests.
Be richly rewarded with three new weapons.

If you use OOO or any mod that removes/edits borders:
You will probably receive "you cannot go this way go back" messages when Stirk is loaded. Go to your Oblivion.ini (located in My Documents/My Games/Oblivion) and change bBorderRegionsEnabled property from either 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1.

Changes in version 1.3:

Spoiler

-Anvil pathgrid (Jaffan no longer gets lost)
-Land tear at 65,-3
-Grass bleeding through the chapel
-Houses, shacks, and the mine now have proper owners and public areas.
-The "I HAVE NO GREETING" bug (hopefully, *fingers crossed*)
-Jean's AI at the end of Ballad
-Various bleeders, floaters, and gramatical issues

Special thanks to the TES Alliance Beta Tester's Guild, especially Ysne58, for testing this version.

Enjoy!

Thank you for the update, however I have a small question regarding this:

Spoiler

If you use a mod that replaces the worldmap, Stirk's map will overwrite it.
Outlined below are the steps necesary to prevent this from happening.
NOTE: you WILL NOT be able to see Stirk on a regular worldmap.

1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. go to Textures/Menus/Wap/World/ and delete TR_StirkWorldMap.dds. do the same for the Menus50 and Menus80 folders.
3a. Go to your regular Oblivion folder and find Data\Textures\Menus\Wap\World. This directory should contain your custom world map, most likely named cyrodiil_resized.dds. Rightclick it and select 'Copy'. Rightclick somewhere else in this folder and select 'paste', this will bring up a file called 'Copy of cyrodiil_resized.dds'. change its name to TR_StirkWorldMap.dds.
3b. Repeat step 3 for the Menus50 and Menus80 folders.
4. Copy Stirk files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
5. Open up Stirk in the Construction Set, set as Active File.
6. In the menu, go to World > World Space and select Tamriel from the list
7. Change the Usable Dimentions to 2055 and 1830. Change NW X to -59, NW Y to 47, SE X to 59, and SE Y to -58.

The handling seems simple enough, but this risk does it pose no problem with mods like Dynamic Map that allows to show Stirk on the map and other mods?

Dynamic Map is designed to incorporate Stirk, so it should be fine. I've not used it myself, but my guess is that you load it after Stirk and make sure not to install Stirk's map. DM should handle all that coordinate changing for you. Check Dynamic Map's readme, it should have instructions.

Mod DB mirror is now up.

It doesn't actually matter if you install Stirk's map, or what order the mods are in. Dynamic map uses it's own custom map by way of scripting along with custom slivers of the world map to overlay the additional parts.

That's a really nifty way to do it. Arthmoor saves the day again!

Does this mod require any other mods? Or can I just DL and play?

Thanks for the updates.

FYI: Latest version still needs cleaning through TES4Edit.
