anyone familiar with the huge worldspace mod called Aithamavel?
no?
Well I found it on a Polish TES mod website, and it sounded awesome, I downloaded it and installed it...but before installing the readme said that this will not be compatible with any plugin except official DLC and plugins made specifically for this mod...well first off I am curious how on earth that is possible? I mean..isn't it a whole 'nother worldspace? I am looking at it right now in the CS and I can still access the Tamriel worldspace...so...uh...?

So I was wondering why it would be incompatible with other plugins if it does not even touch Tamriel...and also, they say old saves would not work with it...well...I do know you go to Aithamavel when you start in the sewers, so I could understand if they mean you can't access Aithamavel anymore once past the sewers, but I mean, why not add someway to travel there so old saves can work with it?
I would love to test and see what happens if I boot up Oblivion with all my mods + Aithamavel active, but sadly, if you have read my Black Plague of Tamriel topic...you may know that I cannot, due to my Oblivion crashing on load (COL).
Anyways, do not use this topic to diagnose my COL, if you want to do that, go find the topic and respond (though Tomlong has done a pretty good job at playing doctor with it, so you may not be needed, but extra help is appreciated) I just want to know why?

I will point you in the direction of the download if you want to check it out for yourself.

okay well with one topic closed now, I feel I should bump this one back up. Sorry...but since I have gotten no responses, I feel a bump is better than a double post.

thank you all hope I get some responses soon!

Aithamavel is a Total Conversion, i.e. player must start a new game to get (instant) access to the world of Aithamavel. So the description actually says this: "if you have any other mods which change the Tamriel worldspace then sorry, but you will not see this changes in game, because it is a total conversion" (unless you use console commands to move between worldspaces). But using console may broke the starting quest, Aithamavel was designed this way, player must start a new game. This mod also needs the SI expansion.

Aithamavel was abandoned some long time ago, but we still hope someone will take all these resources and make with them some awesome things.

well I was considering (not sure yet) about making some plugins for it after I get my current mod finished. but....couldn't you make some sort of link between the two worlds?
like say...for immersions sake, you take a boat from Anvil and sail there...would that work? because I still want all my Tamriel mods to play with too, but Aithamavel looks really intresting!

Yes, of course you could. As a modder's resource this mod should be perfectly compatible with any other existing mods, as it do not touch the Tamriel at all. So you can easily make a boat-teleport or something like this. I will write about you interest on Polish boards - as I said, some people are eagerly waiting for any Aithamavel-related mod.

I am translating English language mods into Polish, so I would also be very interested to translate any Aithamavel-related English mods. ;] If you are decided about going for it, it would be good if you let me know via PM or in this topic, then I will try to contact you with the mod's author, should you need any assistance (if I catch him).

oh yes I probably will.
I could always go talk to him myself :twirl: Google Translator is such a useful tool it would be like I knew how to speak/read Polish. So I could go to clockwork and join there, see if I can talk to one of the creators...but right now I need to get my Oblivion working and finish my current mod.

Hi, I'm creator of Aithamavel

You can do with my mod whatever you want, it will be nice to see finished land with some quests. Right now, only last alpha version is available(this version from first post) - wchich means that mod has a lot of unnecessary things(for example: some books, dialogs, scripts, etc), but if I remember well - it's easy to delete these things by some programs.

I think that only land(with interiors of course) is good to use in your mods, because rest of this plugin is unfinished and is in Polish - so I recommend you to clean everything else.

Good luck, you have my bless, etc You can start a new topic with this mod as modders resource(after cleaning a mod) or smth.

There is only one thing - I used some resources from Ivellion mod with permission for only this project. I don't know how situation looks right now so you must contact with author or just delete used resources.

Great thanks for your work. We used 2 your statues in ours Cyrodiil Rebuild project: http://s11.radikal.ru/i183/1004/b8/8e5880db8bc4.jpg, http://s60.radikal.ru/i170/1004/13/4d81cec8ca95.jpg.

oh wow, I feel so special getting ( a little) praise for taking up this project from the original project start
As soon as I wrap up my current mod and get it to a better stable state I will start mapping out how I want to go about finishing Aithamavel, cleaning it, and recruiting a few team members.

I do not believe I can do a translation from Polish to English, but, I would realy, REALY, like to preserve it's origins ( when looking at it in the CS I felt "this is a Polish land!") so I would actually prefer leaving a lot in Polish hopefully someone will like to translate my English into Polish!

If people want it in English, if someone could just translate the current lines loosely into English, I could definately clean the English up to more naturally spoken English - as I am use to talking to people who are not strong in speaking English or have had little time to study the English language.

For future reference. http://www.egg-of-time.us/portal/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1825

oh yeah...I forgot about that...I even mentioned to someone on another topic to use EggTranslator to translate a mod they wanted to use
