Cyrodiil

[X23]

When do you think this idea will be started? Not soon but when?

We aren't even sure if it will be.

we aren't sure if it will be.....

when I saw TES4 Oblivion coming out I was like "damnit I am gonna make the Velothi Mts.!" then I decided to make the Deshaan plain, then Morrowind... but what I really wanted was a wild land... I wanted to go back to Vvardenfell ....so you know what? I did it, I contacted people and eventualy found this kickass community... "just do it" like they say.... go for it...

nothin starts without action... I see a modeler or modder with potential I email or PM him to join the Beyond Cyrodiil.... we need to go out of our way to do this kinda of thing... ESPECIALLY since it is a big undertaking

I am guessing no one can understand the purpose of my post...
I am saying if you want change you need to start it....
bullet isn't gonna fly out if you don't pull that trigger

I think people need to stand up and say "I want ___" and go for it
revolution cannot come without without revolutionaries ok people!

If we do do this, maybe we could even make it more true to lore (jungle, more majestic Imperial City, etc.)?

jungle maybe... but the object is to resize the land to realistic proportions...
it is like 30% bigger than TES3, but Vvardenfell island of TES3 is like 1/4 of Cyrodiil.... so the Imperial Province needs to be bigger.... which also gives more room for those modding Cyrodiil....
we are simply making the lands bigger... the wilderness, etc.

that's from what i can see.... but I don't know who is going to take charge and make things happen....
I really hope someone does... Lenin could get Russia into a Soviet Union but he couldn't get the world revolution going

I started stuff, Vrenir started stuff, we all started stuff.... but if we want things to happen we need to do something
I doubt I could provide enough time and effort for another big venture right now, but I bet some can

I hope someone steps forward, if this idea is to be implemented...

but if not, it doesn't make a difference to Vvardenfell.... expect my characters wouldn't be in the Imperial province too much anyhow... only to jump in, kill people, and go back across the border... :brew:

Well, I'm back, and my question is this: Is there really anyone who cares to work on this who can? I pretty well share KuKulzA's sentiments that it could be really really nice and that I'd enjoy playing the game more (in a few months or so) with something like this than without. But neither KuKulzA or I can mod; we need somebody who can or who is willing to learn to work on this if it is going to happen. If not, we can all just play with the existing Cyrodiil and be happy with going into larger exterior provinces. It's your call, guys.

On a side note, Arsonide has said that he'll be happy to offer advice on heightmapping, but he also said that though "it would be possible with a good artist, the heightmap has nothing to do with the objects on the heightmap, you'd have to remove all of those or you'll have floating trees and such." If we've got an artist who wants to pursue this, please let us know here and PM him with your questions about creating/modifying a heightmap.

So to reiterate the basic stage we're at: We need somebody to do the heightmap. Then we need somebody to take that heightmap and draw a plan for it. (I could do that and use my cousin's scanner to get it on here, but I would need the heightmap plan first.) Then we need somebody to go through and cell-by-cell replicate the plan on the heightmap. That last part, friends, is the tedious job. When it's done, the interior city/ruin cells get linked, the NPCs get pasted into the wilderness, and we're good to go.

Another thing that could be done straight away thanks to their individual worldspaces would be towns.

Since towns can be done a lot quicker (and thus released in a modular form) that would be a good way to attract attention to the mod for the much bigger task of doing the exterior.

Good idea, no need to start with the landscape.
