Hi all.

For some time i work on this project (not linking due to some amount of nudity there, it is on tesnexus), as a base i use, with permission, a Hammerfell mod by Brendan62. Almost all is going well - but i've got a problem that bothers me and i ask for help.

Thing is, the mod will include the island of Stros M'kai. When i started to mod i took Crystal Shore Island from original mod, copied its landmass (11x11 cells) to a new location (via heighmap editor) and moved all the cells' contents there by hand - with some fixes and improvements. All was ok but when i started testing it with Tamriel Heightmap crap began to fall.

Tamrel.esp should be loaded before my mod, as its base was developed long ago - and noone wants to have stuff floating or buried. However i found out that some cells work ok this way and some not. If a cell was declared in Oblivion.esm all is ok, changes go as Oblivion.esm --&--#62; Tamriel.esp --&--#62; TWMPHammerfell.esp . But if some faraway cells were not defined in Oblivion.esm first then they will not work ingame: if Tamriel.esp declares a cell then when same cell is declared by TWMPHammerfell.esp it is destroyed.

Needless to say, i got this situation with Stros M'kai island, located at -96,0 -- 106,10.

What can be done to fix it?

I have one half-assed solution, which is to use a specially prepared Tamriel.esp which has this cell block cut out -- but i dont want to spawn versions of it.

Any other ideas?

Thx in advance.


[upd]
nvm, fixed it by changing form IDs of those cells to ones from Tamriel.esp. Good.

Glad you sorted it, Haldar. I think a lot of people are eager to try this mod.

Aye. I try to work fast, got about a week or so to do it.

This mod is in good hands. All the best Haldar /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

/foodndrink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':foodndrink:' /> cheers and good luck with your project

I am thrilled that a few projects have popped up to use Onra's stuff. Keep up the good work with Hammerfell! /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Mod is almost done. Will be released in a week.

Whoa! Great news! /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Looking forward to it.

That's very good news.

Looking forward to another province in Oblivion /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Due to RL issues mod's release will be delayed by up to 2 weeks. Got a pile of stuff i need to dig thru.

There's a final thing in the works now, a quest. After it - just a cleanup and rechecking of map markers.

Sorry for delay, but work >> me. Especially with current world economic situation.

No problem, Haldar. Good luck with everything and thank you for letting us know.

Indeed.

When Is it getting released? /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> i'm so excited haha

Hoping you're still active...

Yes, im here. Mod is delayed for a time being. At the end of Feb my work schedule changed in a rather drastic way - but by now it seems to calm down. Each month's begin/end will be crazy for me from now on but oh well. I hope to do a release before next hot period - i.e. in 2 weeks, starting now.

Woo hoo! Looking forward to it, Haldar! /tops.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':tops:' />

A final push...we're all hoping for your modding magic!!!!

Any new about this project?

Im still waiting excited.

Finally working on it for last 2 days. More cleanup, half of quest is done now. A final recheck and release when quest's done.

Go for it, and all the best to you.

Pretty sure you will surprise us!

Quest done. Preparing for release.

Congratulations!!!
