Mordigant's WIP Thread

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:42 am

I figured I had a lot of active projects, so I decided to make my own WIP thread. Here you can see, in the top post (this one) up-to-date progress on all my currently active projects. Northreach will not be included here since that is a community thing.

Ebonheart Orphanage

The Ebonheart Orphanage is a Children of Morrowind add-on that adds a facility just out of Ebonheart where orphan kids live. They can be adopted. Complete and downloadable at PES!

Linking Books

This mod will add 23 books based on the linking books of Myst, which were books that teleported the player to different ages. This version of the concept will teleport the player to the towns of Vvardenfell (sorry, no expansion towns included). Each book is hidden in the town it teleports to, can you find them all? Complete and downloadable at PES!


Mordigant's Museum

This is more of a personal project, which will be released when done. It adds a concept I first did with my Xbox character, who will appear as an NPC in this mod. It will basically be a display of many of the unique artifacts of Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon, but stealing from the museum is going to be impossible. The library portion will include clues to the locations of the 33 Tamriel Lore artifacts, and there is one nice little surprise included. The museum portion is just about done, but the library portion was just started. There is no specific timeframe for release; I consider this project low-priority because it doesn't really provide a benefit to the player.


Four Elements

This mod is inspired by Nickelodeon's Avatar cartoon. There will be a bender character from each nation, who will each sell a couple bending spells, a book about their element, and a robe. They will be located in an "Avatar Temple" which will be a hidden interior cell. Aang, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Zuko, and other specific characters from the show will not be included due to copyright, but could potentially be mentioned in the books. Look for four bender characters located in certain towns who will be able to teleport you to the temple. They each will wear one of the bending robes. The people have been made, and the books and spells should be done by the end of the week, temple soon to follow. I anticipate the robes taking a while as I have never retextured anything before.


Imperial Divinity Tapestries Resource

Shelved for now- don't expect it this year. This project will add eight tapestries inspired by the shields in Jeremy's Knights of Tamriel. It won't be ready for quite a while. I have to address some art issues, including the tapestries looking kind of plain, and there is a serious scale issue too.


Titans

This is going to be a mod inspired by the idea of huge-scaled characters and creatures. There will be 15 titans, each has a "home" hidden across the world, and each has a magical amulet. They will be very high level (50+), and there will be a book with clues of their locations. This is the next one focused for release, though I may combine the release with others and do another multiple.


Khajiits/Argonians

The beast races have always been interesting to me. I want to do a story involving them. Again, this is still in story concept, but one idea I had was maybe a slave revolt quest. If the player is a Khajiit or Argonian I might even try to do a "Spartacus" kind of thing with the story. This is just one of several story ideas I was working on, the only thing I know is I don't want to do a "Twin Lamps" kind of thing as there is already at least one mod that makes them playable. They'll probably be mentioned in the story though.


mPod

Just a simple little project to add an iPod-like device to Morrowind which will enable the player to select music to listen to. It will use nested menus to allow the player to select one of eight categories and one of eight tracks within each category. People who know scripting will be able to change the category and track names in the editor from the defaults, as music will be player-selectable, instructions provided. Buy it from Thongar in Khuul. You will need to put in your own music files. Complete and downloadable at PES!

You could use that Godzilla body mod. Make a giant race from that, and make it attack a major city? Maybe not Balmora, that place is used too much... Maybe Ebonheart? Yes... Ebonheart, make a giant ape grab the Duke's daughter, climb to the highest tower and rescue her..

Hahaha... No but seriously, make that giant monster mod. Maybe as a reward, a GIANT DAEDRA HEART! Just a trophy, or an item to slow you down.

First, it's not going to be called Giants, that's just the theme. It will have a name more appropriate to its story.

Second, this is a personal WIP thread. That's why I'm not talking about Northreach here, since it's a community project and not my own. Speaking of which, there hasn't been much talk about it in over a week, where are we with it?

Did you receive the .esp I sent? I haven't done much. Been busy with other projects. I've only got about a dozen going at once. :) I've also been honored to become an admin at http://modhistory.fliggerty.com/index.php. Busy, busy, busy. :D

I got the esp, but haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Let's do no more Northreach talk on this thread as it is for my non-community projects. Congrats on the promotion.

Daily bump, added new project which shouldn't take more than a few hours when I get to actually doing it.

Update: triple release successful! The Ebonheart Orphanage is proving to be semi-popular, and has been downloaded more than the linking books and mPod combined! I will try to do another release between Halloween and Christmas if everything goes well. I plan to do another triple with the Museum, Four Elements, and Titan Invasion projects, but if there's time I might post a "teaser" for the beast race slave revolt, though I'm not starting that until these other three are done, so don't expect to see anything from that project this year. Looking ahead to 2011, I want to do an epic story mod, try doing a companion mod, maybe even create a whole town if my skills improve! I have no idea what the future will bring, as two of the mods from my first release were spontaneous ideas.
