You guys haven't started working on the exterior version of Mournhold, have you?

My estimates were regarding the size of the total unzipped content (as I mentioned in that post). Compressed, the content will take up much less space, since .esm and .bsa files compress quite well.


I'm not sure what you mean. If you're referring to our dummy version that is there for the purposes of distant land, then yes that has been pretty much finished for a long time.


fix what?

what i meant was, if Thrignar put them in as an easter egg giving the reason for their existence as being legendary pauldrons with good armor rating and enchantments, yet putting them in as regular dwemer pauldrons, perhaps he could be persuaded into modifying them a little bit to include such features.

kinda wishful thinking on my part

also a curious question comes to mind, why would this new map cause games to crash with it's new TR_Data and BSA if it just adds content to the other maps...do you guys package the master files and bsa's differently before a public release?

The Map 4 alpha uses an updated TR_Data.esm and TR_Data.bsa. That doesn't mean it's just larger or includes more things, it also means we've changed some existing things or even removed old things... and since we have new iterations as often as every week, that means a LOT has changed since the iteration that you got when you downloaded our last official release.

Sounds messy....


:violin:

i see, so then, are iterations updated by individual members and compiled or do they all send in their work and compile it before the new iteration?

TR_Data is all the data files modders use to make the mod. It includes meshes/textures/CS entries, etc. Most modders don't contribute to this, except maybe to say "hey this value should be tweaked" or "this texture is bugged/incorrect". Whenever there are enough/pressing reasons to update TR_Data, I unpack TR_Data.bsa, add in the new stuff or update what needs updating, pack it back up, and upload for TR modders to download for themselves.

and you say this happens at least on a weekly basis? damn that's a lot of bugfixes...ok my curiosity has been filled. thanks for the info, it helps us lowly players appreciate you guys that much more knowing this...at least it makes me appreciate it more

It happens as often as every week. We haven't had a new iteration for several weeks, most recently.

Took a look around the Map 4 alpha...holy balls, is all I have to say Great job on that.

If I tried to make a unique model for the pauldrons, the only thing legendary about them would be their svck.

I added them as something for only the truly crazy to find and because tamriel is sorely lacking in legendary pauldrons (or pauldrons period after morrowind...) Though I would not be against them having a unique model, it really feels like there are more important things on which the project should spend its sparse modeling talent.
