What would you do with the map? The map's going to have to extend a fair bit to encapture all of Cyrodiil and the Summerset Isles, so would you just have the vanilla map + Summerset Isles, or would you make it compatible with another map mod so that you can have Valenwood and Elsweyr as well, from the Tamriel Heightmaps and Iliana's mod?
I've got little modding experience, but I'll be keeping an eye on this project.

I'll work on the landscape then.

Between the northern and southern mountains is a vast plain...

What if he filled it with a series to Lakes?

Just an Idea. .SPTs are coming.

Most of those buildings under architecture have been made using 3dmax, which means that they are 3d models. So if you ask nicely, you may be able to get a whole load of pre-made architecture with very little work...

I think you should try, it dosent hurt to ask.

My toughts about how music in Summerset would sound like:
Mystical,Soothing, harp music

Maybe add Wind Chimes to some of the trees on Summerset:

I dont think we should worry about music just yet...

I know, but I have no modding skills, so while we wait on maps and modders, I`ll do what I can - gathering resources, ideas and inspiration.


How about adding this to Summerset:

Hmmm....These are brilliant ideas! And yes... An entire map of Tamriel will do us good. Perhaps we can gain permission to use the Elsweyr Confederacy's Elsweyr Map, High Roxk's High Rock map, and Hammerfell's Hammerfell map. If we can use those maps, then somone can combine them, make a few more, and then theres a big map of all Tamriel.

this will not work as these mods are all located in their own worldspaces....we will need a map based on the tamriel heightmaps....working currently on some basics for it....

keep up the good work

onra

I know if we can combine them like people have done before it will be combined with the cyrodiil map. The maps are all I need, not the mod.
I'll throw together a rough draft of what they would look like combined.

Modding the smaller island of the Summerset isles to Oblivion? Wonderful idea I wish you the best, a very ambitious project...
But I would try to go away from the generic fantasy elves as seen in Warhammer, from which most of the screens here are coming. Unlike Warhammer elves though, High Elves are a rather hypocritical bunch of people. They show a certain...affinity to goblins, which they use as servants, also they have a rather isolistic view on things and according to Oblivion rumors, the deadra cultism is on the rise. I wouldn't be surprised to find more than one Altmer worshipping Hermeaus Mora, seeing that knowledge of the arcane arts is a basic value of their culture (hence the mages holding the highest rank in their class system). Also, they seem to dislike outlanders almost as much as the Dunmer of Vvardenfell do, and seeing that Morgiah is the Queen of Firsthold, surely holds potential for tensions inside the country.
Eh but what I meant to say is, that the society has a lot of problems, regardless of the decadent glorious looks of their culture and cities, which shouldn't be based off normal fantasy lore, just like Dunmer aren't typical evil elves who have typical evil, corrupted kinds of buildings.

I liked those chimes...maybe they could fit in somewhere.

If you guys are looking for a map, I've been working on one that matches onra's heightmaps. I'm almost done with the whole southern part, just waiting for him to finish the northern part too.

I've used the gridmaps to make it, so it matches onra's heightmaps exactly. I have it set up and working in game too, it's just a tiny bit off because I'm trying to figure out the coordinates that the map takes up exactly.

Here's a pic:

(also, don't mind the Valenwood and Black Marsh textures, those are just place holders, and I'm still cleaning up a bunch of the seams)

Thats what the heightmaps look like? I thought they were more lore accurate.
Hmm... Can we use the Summerset part? That wouldn't need much editing to look like an Oblivion Style map.

Yes of course! If you use gimp I can send you the .xcf file sense it's still in layers. Or you can just dl the pic that I posted.

I thought they would be more lore accurate too, but I still think they are way better than any other whole tamriel heightmap.
Also map makers are never perfect! Hence Tamriel always looking a bit different when the new games come out.
