Fixed my post. Whoops!

Screenshot of Colovian Highlands conflict looks tricky. I'll download the mod and take a look over Easter weekend.

Thanks for looking at it. If you come up with a product, I'll surely use it.

I'm using Lush Woodlands 1.3 and I happened to notice a couple of minor things at Lindai that could using some grounding on its next update. LindaiExterior -8 23, one set of stairs is not ground level, SE of that in same cell a log with several floating mushrooms. Looks fine otherwise. I am using Castle Wolfspike with patch in case that's the cause, but again, it's pretty minor.

Thanks, Al, for the good eyesight. I feel great when new chances to improve these mods to the perfection they deserve occur.

Is there an equivalent SI project out now? I thought I read about something like that at some point and was just wondering...


I love all of the updates guys! Thank you for these beautiful redressings of Cyrodiil.

A new set of patches has just been released http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13834 (usual place).

These are for the mod http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22268, as recently requested in this thread. Conflicts have been resolved with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11458, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15511 and http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14720. There's also a merged single ESP of all three patches, for those who need all of them.

Also, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21816 patches have been updated. There is a new patch added to the group, for http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28763. And the patch for Colovian Highlands has been adjusted for compatibility with my patch for Dwarves of the Mountain. Originally the EiA patch included a rope ladder and wood platform to give the player access to the plateau found in the Colovian Highlands from EiA. However I have now transferred this rope ladder & platform to my Dwarves of the Mountain patch instead, as there is already a route available to reach the plateau with EiA (travel through Gori Garlas). Of course both mods provide Fast Travel markers so those who like to Fast Travel can just "teleport" up.

If you use EiA and Dwarves of the Mountain, and you already use my EiA patch for Colovian Highlands, you really should upgrade to my new version when installing my new patch for Dwarves of the Mountain and Colovian Highlands.

Awesome! Thank you.

Amazing, and I was just going through my UL installs last night, hoping an EiA/Aspen patch would come out!

Thank you Vorians!

Edit - I know the UL team discourages merging the patches to avoid issues, however, I've come to an ultimatum of patch merging or removal of a few UL's. I have a quick question, however, which shouldn't be too difficult to answer.

I tried making a merged patch, and for the most part had success, or so I thought. First I had to create two separate merged plugins as some of the patches do no merge together with Gecko.

So then of course the master list for each of the two new patches was comprised of the masters from the plugins contained within. When merging more than a couple of the patches into one plugin, many of the masters for the new plugin were in the wrong order, so I rearranged them by systematically changing the masters with Bash until they were in a proper order, and it lit up green in Bash.

After a bit of testing, I learned that this is not a desirable approach, for instance some trees were duplicated, each belonging to a different master of the patch. and the item ownerships were shuffled depending on how the master sorting went. An example would be a tree which was moved for the Millstone Farm patch now belonged to TOTF.

So this brings me to two questions: Does it matter if the masters are in the wrong order for landscape patches? and is there another way to sort the masters?

Thanks

Hrmmm, actually if I'm not mistaken from the Gecko readme, I could use its Change Masters function for this, can anyone confirm?

Yes, it very much matters which order the masters are in for landscape as only the final cell record loaded wins those fights. Further, Gecko does an atrocious job of merging landscape and path grid records, which is why we so strongly recommend against doing just what you're attempting. It generally does not work out in the end, as you're now finding out.

The alternative is much more hassle but far less prone to error, and that would be to use TES4Edit and start merging the information by hand. That's not something easily explained either, so you should hit up the Fallout3 Nexus site, look for FO3Edit, and grab the manual associated with that. It's the same program as TES4Edit so the manual applies. Read up on how to do "copy as override" into a new file.

To FO3 Nexus I go!

Thanks for the explanation Arthmoor

Trr Kah has a suggestion:

The whole point of using a new marker is to ensure that removing the patch is as easy as unticking and deleting the ESP. If you reposition a persistent object, then it would be permanently relocated, in which case anyone removing the UL and the patch would end up with the marker in the wrong position. Unless an undo script was included too, but then you'd need to mention it in the readme, and no one would read it, so it wouldn't get used, and people would be upset.

Hey guys,
i have a good day today and so all the voices in my head told me, i could make your day a bit better, too. How? with a few new screenshots from Snowdale. (im nearly at 90%... finally... hope release isn't far away anymore ) so take a look:

Hi all

I have the most recent BCfull and UL Cheydinhal Falls.
During the BC setup I installed the better cities- unique landscape cheydinhal falls.esp. Do I also have to install the BCCheydinhalFull-cheydenhalfallspatch (version 1.1)?

Reason is, I have a floating Stendarr statue at the small docking platform near the river south of Cheydinhal. I have included my load order. Thanks for any help.

No, only use the patch for the BC Full.esp, don't try to use the version for BC Cheydinhal.esp.

Don't use both of these:
Better Cities - Unique Landscape Cheydinhal Falls.esp
BCCheydinhalFULL-CheydinhalFalls patch.esp

They're the same thing. Again I curse Ismelda (as friends curse friends, not in a malicious way) for insisting on renaming all by BC/UL patches when adding them into the BC archive. It just leaves too many people using the same patches twice and not realising because the file names don't match.

Thanks for that. I noticed that I dont have the Cheydinhal Falls - Ivellon patch. Thats probably causing my glitch.

Thanks for the rapid response

Thank you so much for everyone who contributed to this project. I have been stalking it for a while now (Almost a year), since I could only play on the consoles and could never quite get the game working on my PC. Now that I have a computer able to run the game flawlessly as well as each of the UL areas available, it really feels like that sense of adventure present in Morrowind was successfully renewed. Finally I feel as though I can explore Cyrodiill the way it was meant to be explored. I no longer fast travel as the landscape is much more diversified, making it actually worth traversing the roads just to see what I will discover. Thank you everyone involved. And I will be stalking Snowdale. The more winterland adventures I have, the better.

I agree...Snowdale will be an area worth stalking.
