Nice work man, I'll check it out this weekend!

Cool I think i have gotten all the bugs out not sure though need user feedback since everyone machine is different and that can affect many things with all the different mods out there

0.02, 2009/10/15 - Fixed broken door marker in first inner City
There was a broken Door marker that allows you to go back into the main area of the Lost city to leave the exit so i quickly fixed it and now Version 0.02 is up on both the main website as well as TES Nexus

updated the OP to have this change in the change log

I have been getting some feedback on TES Nexus and I am currently working on fixing a few more things in Version0.03
There have been reports of falling through the world so i went through and raise a few things and moved a few things closer.

Now There is a NPC in the Final Room. He is a Lone Necromancer who will Teach you some spells and Has many items for sell.
AS for up until now he been exploring this lost city for a while now and has been making alot of gold so his bartering gold is around 50000 so you will not have to run away to sell your loot you do not want.
He also introduces 3 more spells to the mod.

Revive Dead: - 30 seconds, 45 cost

Greater Revive Dead:-60 seconds, 90 cost

Grand Revive Dead:- 120 seconds, 180 cost.

I have uploaded Version 0.03 to both my website as well as tesnexus

There has been a bug report about the scripts so i am looking into it right now and working on a fix.

After going through all the scripts I fixed the infinite loop bug with the spells. and now Version 0.04 is up in omod version as well as 7z on both tes nexus and the website

snip
all resolved

more updates

0.05, 2009/10/16
-Fixed a mistake in the scripts Oblivion was ignoring the else string so i had to change all else statements to elseif

thanks to the guys in the forums here for pointing out that the scripts do not handle else statements and told me to only use elseif

Woah! I just stumbled upon this gem. I say gem already without having downloaded because it says "author: raziel23x"
Thanks! Will post later when I've tried it. (What a great start on my weekend)

yea be warned i am getting bug reports and fixing them as fast as i get them o find them. I am hoping to get out of alpha and into beta soon hince for now being 0.05 now and be a version 1.0 soon. and have a stable release.

mostily because I am working out the rust of not writing any scripts in 3 years once i get back in the full swing i should have all the script bugs out and advancing this even futher.


I have been talking with puff and have gotten perrmission from them or use some of there work on this project and hopeing to get some other s permission to use some other stuff. I am hoping to get up a team as well to advance this project even furher

They don't handle else statements?! Well, that shows how much I know about scripting.

I got my Avatars hands full but I will get around eventually to do your quests and dungeon :goodjob:

I have been planning on doing some actual quest entries instead of this being a silent quest being it is more of a exploration of a new dungeon which adds a few new spells. but there are a few kinks in the system right now as the bug reports come in i fix then errors that moment. but since this a alpha i aspect bugs untill everything gets tested on different computer rigs

I am working on some more updates to this project introducing a lot more items and systems to the game. AS of right now I have repaired a bunch of bugs in the scripts and feel that there is still more room for improvement.
I Am working on some ring sets that have scripted affects that should be random stats based on your stats.

Scrrenshots

bug report:
I'm inside the ruin and I keep getting messages about not having any silver nuggets (and I have 3 of them).
Also I found
Otherwise, nice big dungeon. It's a long time since I've been in such a huge thing.

yea I am working on and trying to track down these weird bugs.

What I do not get is why is what is causing the message about the silver nuggets. It is a spell that you have to cast and no PC know that spell.
They are also Activators as well and do on gamemode after being activated.

I have changed the scripts around a bit and hope that changing onactivate to onequip player will fix the portable items.

I will look into the infinite loop and see what is going on.

I rewrote parts of it on this up coming release so that should fix it.

remember this is a alpha so there will be bugs

working out some bugs in the soul gem conjure script

now in BETA stage
