Silgrad Tower from the Ashes

Hla Oad

Edit- Dave_91: If a claim uses the hammock model as used in Morrowind, please use the bedroll model as a temporary substitute until a hammock model is made.

Hla Oad is a small little fishing village, all shacks, about 6 or 8 claims. Dave, maybe post a couple thumbs here of the exterior progress (I think you had some in your photobucket.)

Hla Oad Discussion Thread - Note: Dave_91 has since taken over Hla Oad, he's the guy to talk to about Hla Oad.

The IDs of the cells are as such: HlaOad01 = Fatleg's Dropoff (you would stick VvXX in front of that with XX being your modder ID, So I'd put VvC9HlaOad01).
I've also posted interior descriptions for these cells. Remember that we are modding a Vvardenfell that is set six years after Morrowind, and some of the interiors look different and/or are inhabited by different people. Nonetheless, the shots should give you a solid idea of the interior layout, as the tilesets we are using in Oblivion are virtually the same as the ones in these shots from Morrowind.
Also, when working with the public Shack tileset use collision mode (F4) to see where any invisible surfaces may be. Seeing as most of the claims work so far has been SilgradTower.esm dependent, you can go ahead and use those assets. Make sure you have the latest version.



Fatleg's Dropoff [CLAIMED, Dave_91]

Alright, I've made one interior for this and the exterior is nearly done now. I'd like to secure Fatleg's drop-off, the cave beneath, and a few shacks. I'd also like to make a small shack for the guards, where they can rest and switch from day to night guards.

^ :goodjob: Can't wait to see what it looks like! Any other shacks you wanted me to set aside?

Hmm... not quite yet, I'll eventually do them all unless someone else comes along beforehand. I edited the thread with a little note about using the bedroll in place of a hammock, hope you don't mind.

Yeah, if you have any notes you want to add just stick 'em at the top. =)

Alright.

Okur's shack is pretty much completed. Needs a northmarker, linking to exterior and AI/dialogue.

Oh, Dave, put some water in that interior, that way you'll get the sound effects of being on top of the docks in-game.

Oops, forgot that. Will do!

Edit- Okur's Shack is on land btw, shall I still give it water anyway or what?

Was it? Okay nevermind then, lol.

Okay.

Do you know anything about cleaning files and merging (with Gecko) btw?
