Phew, someone who knows what they're talking about. I was only speaking from what I've read, not experience.

Well, I've messed with it more, and I just can't get it right, no matter how I adjust the field or the paths to be less straight in a way I like, the texture seams are way too much to handle. I'll probably do as you said and put low walls around the field, because I haven't been able to make it look good anyway I've tried.

Landscape texturing is frustrating as hell. :brokencomputer:

I really want the path up to the manor to be cobblestone but I get annoying seams I can't fix. :swear:

I guess I'm gonna have to live with straight and tidy. I want my plantation to be pretty, as I intend it as like the anti-thesis to Orvas Dren's dirty corrupted plantation, but the straight paths are pretty bothersome.

@Jeff, the funny thing is the bright purple and yellow big plants are native to the Ascadian Isles. The smaller ones however are not.

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I do have some skill.


@Sir-Stabs-Alot: I'd be more than happy to share my experience, but we really shouldn't clutter up this thread. If you'd like we can take this to PMs and I'll try to teach you everything I know.

That sounds like a good idea. I think I'll actually make my WIP right now.

I think quite the opposite. I can't even build interiors (besides decorating) lol, well simple houses I guess. But nothing advanced

Lol I was supposed to relz New Caldera this week.. guess It will have to wait.

I think scripting must be quiet hard to learn, but I can't remember how I learnt. It just kind of came to me. Exteriors, I find impossible. Mine always look rubbish. I end up with loads of flat land.

Lol, I can build interiors in my sleep, but exteriors take me a long time to get right. I guess it's like anything else, practice makes perfect.


KF

Honestly, idk how I learned to animate either. I can script a litte, but I can't build exteriors or do dialogue, guess it depends on the person.

Sir-stabs-alot, if that's a rethan manor replacement, then I might just have to build you and the greatness a shrine.

Hehe,

I really need some ideas of what to do with New Seyda Neen. (If anything?)

http://i37.tinypic.com/29vj8sw.jpg

Here's a shot showing some of the things that have been changed in the latest version.

well just a couple. i didn't spot the lighthouse. but i always thought that there shouldn't be any trees around it. what use is a lighthouse to a sailor who can't see it, and if you feel froogy. i would suggest replacing all the building with ones using anoldfriends textures. they look swampy. and would make seyda neen look different from pelegiad.

While looking for ideas, I came across a set of daggers (from some other game) and saw one that I thought looked like a cross between a steel and glass dagger, so I whipped http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/Caultus/glass-steeldagger.jpg I wanted to use Bethesda's textures, but I couldn't quite find exactly what I wanted. :shrug: As a quirk, the baubles are only on one side so far, and I may leave it like that.....

Actually, I've been wanting to make mixed weapons for a while (steel and ebony, glass and ebony, et cetera). What do you think so far?


:dead:

I think that the area of blended iron and glass bands could be reworked somehow swrdphantom. Right now it looks like some strange barber pole. Other than that its a nice idea and an interesting design. I also like that you have the baubles only on one side to add some flair.

Very nice, based on pictures of real heather?

Howdy everybody. I don't have anything to show off here, I just want to post somewhere and say goodbye to all of you. :^) I am leaving tomorrow to begin a two year mission in Seattle, Washington in service of the Mormon church. I probably won't be on this forum again until September 2012, so hopefully I'll see some familiar faces then. I just want to say thank you to all of you who have generously shared so much with this community, and me, over the years. So thank you. And see ya later.

I don't have any screenies yet, but I am working on two mods.

First, and more important in my opinion, is Mordigant's Museum and library. It will create a museum displaying many of Morrowind and its official expansions armor and weapons, as well as some other unique items (no items from third party mods will be included because I'm trying to make a more functional version of my Xbox museum.) It is designed to be unrobbable, so don't go looking for easy artifacts grabs because you won't be able to. There is a second area consisting of a garden and library. This area will also contain my Xbox character as an NPC (with same outfit), who will talk about the "history" of the museum. Progress as follows:

Surface entrance: done! I think you'll like it. It is a trapdoor by the bridge to Vivec foreign quarter, with a big statue to mark it.

Museum area: around 80% done, armor and robe mannequins are functional and main static displays are complete. Still need to decorate the entrance area (maybe some weapon racks), and finish adding creature mannequins.

Library area: around 15% done. Vivec mannequin and Mordigant NPC's still need their custom dialog. Garden is just a flooded room with no plants yet, and the library only contains the 36 Lessons of Vivec so far. Some NPC mannequins exist now whose presence makes absolutely no sense and they will probably be deleted before final.



The other project is dependent on the famous Children of Morrowind plugin. I saw how there were a bunch of other plugins that utilized COM, such as playable teenagers, the Morrowind family of rescued slave children, and the Harry Potter parody Academy of Magecraft. I like having children in Morrowind and wanted to do something with them. I tried to come up with a unique idea so I decided to do an orphanage.

Surface entrance: pretty much done complete with guard, directly from the north bridge out of Ebonheart plaza (you can see it from the dragon statue) but might get some aesthetic tweaks later.

Interior: the structure might have to be completely redone as it looks a bit small. I want it to be obviously a two-story structure, but only the ground floor will be created. There will be an orc guard standing by the door to the other level, explaining that it is "inappropriate for a complete stranger to go wandering about young children's bedrooms" or some other language to that effect. The door itself will be unable to be clicked.

advlt NPC's: there is a guard outside and a guard by the inaccessible door to the (nonexistant) bedroom area. There is also a Khajiit as the headmistress, and two caretaker ladies. The advlt characters have been created but have not been given their custom greeting and background dialog yet. They will have otherwise normal dialog.

Child NPC's: do not exist yet. I have to figure out how many kids to put in and how to distribute the races and ages (COM has both young kids and teenagers.) I also have to go through the COM scripts, figure out what the differences are, and how to distribute them. They will have the standard child dialog options, as well as custom greetings and backgrounds, and I'll try to make each kid as unique as possible.

Features: at this point I plan for this to be mainly aesthetic. If I can figure out how companion scripts work, I may make it possible to adopt a kid, but it is doubtful at this point.

I will post screens of both mods in progress as soon as possible.

See ya Bycote, I'll see you when you return and hopefully through TR, P:C, and Skyrim, there will be some goodies to show off for you.

This is just one of the female versions of my unique Stalkers.
There are different clothing, hair length/colour/varying
degrees of said hair having been pulled out, face textures,
and skin textures/models (human and elven) for both sixes.
I even made versions that have been "treated" for the ones
that are found in the Corprusarium (with bandages and stitches).

:goodjob:

Hehe, no. I didn't really think when making that. It's just some leaves and flowers I thought would fit

Oh, now that's sad.

Good Luck. Goodbye Bycote.

Holy Bleep! That has to be the best looking stalker I've ever seen. I just discovered your master head pack and now this. Incredible work, Westley. Absolutely incredible!


KF

Defiinitely a creepy looking Corprus beast! The variations you've made sound interesting as well. Will there be a unique stalker for a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:The_Short_Unhappy_Life_of_Danar_Uvelas?

Indeed, Unique Stalkers all 'round (well, at least for the 18 actually placed in game; the ones in levelled lists will use the "default" replacer creature)

Hey don't tease us! I want this badly

The Iron replacer is nearly complete just doing some testing and then I should be able to release a basic pluginless replacer.

In the meantime:

A few Splash screens I made
