City Planning Thread 3 - Lilmoth

[Deeza]

Ah yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of. I used to know someone who lived in a renovated church. The problem with it, he said, was the graveyard, because even though the church itself was no longer used the graves were, so he always got people coming through his garden to lay flowers... He was starting to wonder if it was worth the trouble.

Ah yes, and living so close to the graveyard, you would wonder how many of those visitors were of the 'spectral' variety.... :eek:

Anyway, I made substantial progress with Lilmoth tonight. I only had a few hours but the Palace area is now looking much, much better. A bit late for screenshots but I'll certainly have something much more attractive over the weekend. My only concern is that I'm now spending a lot of time on something that's not going to appear in the beta. Still, I'm enjoying creating it.... =)

[Deeza]

We could always include it as a "teaser" alpha section, that people can explore if they want with the console as a preview of what will later come.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

True. A fly-through to accompany the beta would be simple to achieve. :yes:

Thanks for bringing that up, KP.

As for the cathedral, if we are going to use it, we could have several floors and room dividers put in inside it, and perhaps a giant Royal Court banner partly covering the Rose Window at the front. Also we would need to replace the windows with stone filling, with a smaller window for each floor, perhaps...

Also, watch out with using those walkway pieces as I believe that there may be an issue with their collision. Please check the Jurad readme for details.

@ Deeza: based on your comment on the collision issue, above, can your specify which Jurad nifs have this issue? Are these nifs already in the current Blackmarsh archive?

They're the ones in the "phaerus palace" subfolder. I had a conversation with the retired modder who made them, Phaerus, about integrating them into High Rock. If I recall correctly, they all lack collision entirely.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Oh right. I've added them to the current folder that I'll be using as the basis for the next archive update. I've used about four archway pieces so far and I was considering others. However, I am just about to do a little more on Lilmoth and will need to adjust the textures a little. Should I send them over, KP?

Sorry to ramp up your workload again....unless IS can add collision?

Sure, if KP is busy I can add the collision

Great news! I only have four models I've chosen for use so far but I'm hoping to add four more very similar ones. I've attached the models and their textures here.
