Keeping a promise (of work)

[SciMuse]

It has been a while. Anyhow, I told someone - ??? - I would do a reskin of a tileset for them. I mentioned that I would wait until Ob came out. Well, after a month or so playing Ob, I am back playing Mw. Regardless of that, I am reminding whomever I made my promise to that I am ready. LOL. I read some lists and am doing some looking into the new formats. Most likely I will try an OB set. Some of the interrior tower pieces would work with telvani if they were rescaled. Before I do anything serious though I am gonna mess around. Mistakes on purpose can lead to spectacular success. LOL. I guess this is a heads up.

Cheers

Doesn't ring a bell. Perhaps it was on the Vvardenfell board?

ok well, that couldn't be funnier. I remembered that it was none other than RAZORWING. LOL.

When I got site space here, I wanted to make a contribution so we talked about tilesets. My site is basically for the Dwemer Imperial Retex. ATM.

So pick a tileset!!! We talked about Bara...Balth...It starts with a B. I got those meshes and the download of the latest general release. So instead of racking your brain trying to remember, why not tell me what game and what style you need the most. Then tell me what you don't need. I will read around and whatnot. But I would rather work on something that is needed or useful.

What ever happened to the Hlaalu models Oom made? Did we need those reskined at some point?

[SciMuse]

are they included in the general release? i haven't looked yet. think i will now.

SciMuse: Oom modelled a fantastic Hlaalu exterior tileset for use in rebuilding Silgrad city. I haven't pursued the matter because we were supposed to have someone modding on Silgrad city, but nothing seems to be happening. I would have wanted that person to contact Oom about bringing the tileset into the mod. I fear I'll have to take it on myself after I've set up Reich Parkeep, and in that case I'll do it because I have to and out of respect for history rather than personal enthusiasm over it. But I bet I'd have a fun time anyway because I'm itching to explore the possibilities of Oom's tileset. But yes, that tileset could perhaps benefit from a reskin However it's not available as Oblivion .nifs yet as far as I know.

But another venue which might be closer at hand is the Velothi tileset. The one Spankybus modelled didn't tile in Oblivion so I've been meaning to remake it, using the original TES3 models as reference. I don't really like the textures Spankybus used on it, so if you'd be up to making a collection of Velothi-inspired textures I think I could really use them. =)

Haven't heard anything form anybody :confused: I been playing Oblivion for a while, nice place but the quests... hrug:
Will probably soon start working on the mods again. Any working exporter for TES4 yet?

Yes there are, more or less. I sent you a PM with some more information.

Though... you know that texture Tibmaker posted to introduce himself (with "Silgrad" in it)? It looked a LOT like the Hlaalu textures.

Hi oom, don't you worry about Quests in Ob, if I get my itchy fingers deep enough into the ST quests, then we're going to have some real crackers. But it all starts in the past, eh?

What I've seen of the TES3 work to date (only bits as it took ages to get it working on the old comp I was using to play, and then the comp developed irreparable hardware faults) is full of bright inventiveness, and I hope to work with the modders there too in tying things in and maybe even setting stuff up there so that it will enhance your Ob experience.

Natch as an editor of the written word I concentrate on storyline a lot, and rely on others to set stuff up, so a lot of what I do is wait for others to get to tht point where I can get cracking. But I also enjoy providing alternative concepts for others to bounce their own thinking off or rage at - whatever stokes the creative fires and inspires!

So don't chuck away your copy of Ob just yet, there better things to come! Including your tileset! :goodjob:
