...just to clear up a few things

the tamriel heightmaps are heightmaps of the tamriel provinces, created by me manually, using the CS heightmap editor...not a copy of any existing map ....which is not possible.
they are made lorefriendly/based to work as TES 4 maps in the tamriel worldspace...means they have the right shape and seize compared to ingame Cyrodiil...

let me give you a few examples...the topographic tamriel map which Kiwi-hawk is using, ( and I used as a reference map as well) is a map created to show how tamriel would look like in reality...on this map for example the distance between the IC and Leyawin is nearly 250 miles....ingame you do this in a few hours by foot....or you take the existing lore maps of Valenwood and Elsweyr...if you try to create a heightmap exactly using the lore maps scale , the Topal bay would have only half of the size of what it has now...this would be maybe more lore base compared to some maps but would be absolutely crappy ingame ( of course in the tamriel ws) as you would be able to spit from Leyawiinn to Senchal....btw it would also not be comaptible with Ilianas Elsweyr mod !
there are a lot more of such things and other technical limitations....so you will find my maps close to the existing lore maps, having the proper shape and seize compared to cyrodiil...but they will not be 100 % compatible with any other map...

a full functioning ingame map for the tamriel heightmaps has to be based on their height or textures map...


cheers and thx very much for the hard work you are all puttting in to create a proper map

this is what I have released, there to version both support this mod, one clipped to support "Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina" mod.

I'm working on a full map,.. but as iggy is saying it's hell on broomstick getting coordinates right the other worry I'm having is that people
may not like the lag/slow load time on first load with a full map.

Whats up there is Here

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30875

I've downloaded this map and installed it right but when I go to the map in game it shows everything way west.

I did a little bit of messing arund with the files but still the icons have not changed from their positons way too far west. Anvil is in the middle of the sea.

Can you look at world spaces in CS with that esp loaded and see if the usable space is 7240x5228 or something else.

I can't think why it would be that far out less it's cause I make it while I had Darnified install and my game screen is 1920x1200

Where would I find that at in CS?

Finally got though with a few minor offsets that cannot be fixed. I had to make it much much bigger. 9015x6575

I'm not sure if I got a good proper map in the end a,.. I just sailed round it and I sailed trough land a couple of time and run out of land round the end, and I'm not sure your mod lands quite right on it.
I know your real busy but I'd do the fix's if you get a chance to check out where I'm wrong with shape size etc,.. I never done a map before and I find I screwed up a heap, there heaps of inder sea land poped up around the
coast of Valenwood I see that didn't use to be there,. this might need somebody who knows what theyer doing lol

hey...

don't worry you did not mess up anything....the problem is that my tamriel heightmaps are not really compatible with the tamriel topograhic map...I used it as a reference for getting the right shape and dimensions but it is not a 1.1 copy....as I said to work properly, an ingame map has to be based on the used heightmap....I will upload a bmp of my current tamriel heightmap later on today, including Blackmarsh,Valenwood,Elsweyr,Summerset,Hammerfell,High Rock and a part of Skyrim...

is there a way to get a map typ landscape off the high maps that one could paint and make an ingame map from?
That way when your sail round the coastline it's closer to the right shape (getting way out of my depth here )

Think I drowned Cobb here to dropping poor guy in the deep end

Don't worry I got it and everything is just right witha few icons off by a hair which I'm cool with. It is better than having the Imperial City in the middle of Hammerfel.

here we go...bmp file of my current tamriel worldspace exported with TESAnnwyn, including Cyrodiil (orig.),Blackmarsh, Valenwood, Elsweyr (Ilianas Anequina),Summerset, Hammerfell, High Rock and parts of Skyrim ...

maybe it can be usefull for creating a proper ingame map for the tamriel heightmaps

have fun

onra


PS: the file has not been edited ...dimension of the map is 11264 x 8224

Your making me drool...looking at that map shows me you are Soooo close to closing this in ....When this is done it is going to be really hard for TESV to get off the ground as modders continue to fill this in there will just be no reason to put this Game away and start fixing the next version...!

That said I still have my sailboat waiting to sail around the map!!!
This is Looking Extremely sixy by the way!

Hey Onra,

While designing/planning the architecture and textures for Arenthia I came to the conclusion that the ones I created were better fitting for a coastal city. I want to use them for Haven instead, so not doing Arenthia anymore. You have any idea if someone else is working on Haven as well?

Cheers,

Weird,.. Summerst Isls ia a lot smaller on this than it is an my maps but when I sail round it (well trough the straits and round smller Island) I go round the coast and
theres no land so see on the map,. I found the large lump of land off the maninland tho,.. I fogot I had clipped the bottom of Vanlenwood Elsweyr to suit Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina

I wonder how that would change if one picked up the beachfornt building and shifted them to the proper beach edge,.. I had cut of the pennisular which explains why I near grounded

btw I have started to improve regions with harvestable plants, small rocks and stuff so it would be cool if you could post the cells you are using so I can leave these cells out for compatibility
