Hi, it's me again, I just wanna ask - Are we working as one team now?

If we are, I have to post the memberlist on my page...

Hello!

I'm not in charge of this Blackmarsh project, so you will need to wait for Ibsen's Ghost to post with his decision.

What you can probably do in the meantime, is post a list of your members' names, and the skills each of your members has, such as modeling, texturing, animating (simple Nifskope animations vs. making creatures), CS skills, scripting, Nifskope knowledge, etc. This will give us better knowledge of your team.

For example, personally, I can model, texture, animate (simple and creature), collision, and do Nifskope stuff to make my creations work in the game. I know simple scripting, and a little about the CS (construction set) as well.

Hi DoZeNt,

Yes, that would be cool. Contact me on ICQ though to discuss how to proceed. The biggest questions include things like:

• Are you okay with the idea of using our WS (worldspace) and esm?
  
• Would you like to work in direct co-operation with us (this might involve working on open claims) or to have your team deal with a different area of Argonia than us?
  
• I was wondering if there was a language or compatibility barrier at all. Does any of your team really struggle with English and do you mod with a Russian language CS?
  

At the moment, we are focusing only on five regions for the beta version so if you preferred to operate together then this could be arranged so that you have some independence from the BM core. However, this would also mean that we would need to keep in close contact to avoid any contradictions, discontinuity or differences of opinion.

On the other hand, working on a claims basis would make the whole operation a lot tighter but might not give you the opportunity to really develop your own ideas to the full.

Personally, I think it would be good work together for now and, if you developed an idea you were keen on working on as a group then you might wish to concentrate your team's efforts on that.

The current BM team

....is posted up here: Naming Codes which includes the following information:

SN = Senten
TL = Tlo1048
IG = Ibsen's Ghost
B2M = Back2Murder
DZ = Deeza
DR = DrMcCoy
LR = Llamaranger
IS = InsanitySorrow
KP = Koniption

You'll notice that this doesn't tell you a lot so could everybody else please complete your entry on this little bio page: Member bios ? I have just added my own IS's.

@DoZeNt - You can post up bios from your own team if you wish. Are you okay keeping with this format or would you like to change it a little on your website to fit with what you already have there?

[InsanitySorrow]

Thanks for adding my Bio to IG

DoZeNt: How big is your team? and what skills do they have?

Also while I am here, I am scripting quite a few things for Vvardenfell IG, will tell you exactly what through PM, is there anything thats needed at the moment?

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Np IS.

Member bios - cool bio, K! :lmao: Yes, you're ours now....bwahahaha

[DoZeNt]

IG, go to icq now? ^^

Our team is not big now, but we are still recruiting...

DoZeNt (Denius) - CS
SoK (Maximus) - Modeling & texturing
Odal_Far - scripting and questing
oblivion97 - landscaping & CS

As for the Worldspace, It would be better if the player could just get there on a horse or smth.. just putting the marshes landscape next to the Cyrodiil one...

I use an English CS... We can make blackmarsh in English, then I will translate it to Russian

It is possible to make a separate worldspace that has a normal transition, like that experienced when moving through a door. Silgrad Tower is, I believe, working on just such a system.

I understand that you'd like a smoother transition for the sake of immersion, but there are definite advantages to having a separate worldspace. The main advantages of using a separate worldspace are that it will be less likely to create conflicts with other mods which alter Cyrodiil, and that it will not cause slowing of the game (Cyrodiil is, I believe, already about as big a landmass as the game can load at one time)

[Ibsen's Ghost]

That's true. A continuous landscape is definitely more preferable but keeping it separate is, I believe, a massive bonus in terms of avoiding errors and fps issues....logging in to ICQ now....
