New Kimono look nice. ^_^ - Kielanai - 05-17-2007
It wouldn't let me download, so I'll try again later.
Sorry to worry everyone. It's been a rough month. But I'm slowly catching up. I have about two more uniforms to do, and then I can upload the files. I will post previews first in case anything needs last minute alter, but it might be a few days. I had put two trunks in my Kojima mod for convenience of testing the models, but in responding to a request from someone about looking into a corrupted cell, I ended up deleting two huge chunks of landmass from the mod. I couldn't fix it, so I had to reinstall it from my back-up copy. The back-up did not have any of the kimono in them -- not from the clothing or uniforms sets. So, I have to put all of them back in, piece-by-piece. :poorme: But I still have to fix the corrupted cell, too. So, ... *sigh* this is going to take some time. :|

I'm sorry you lost all that work. That is really frustrating when something like that happens.
- Kodama - 05-17-2007
Yeah, i know how that feels ;(
Updates ... - Kielanai - 05-19-2007
Okay, ... I worked all afternoon into late night yesterday, but I FINALLY finished getting version 6 of Akaviri Kojima uploaded at TESSource. So, that is step 1 in being able to work with my kimono files again. I lost some things in my game after having to do an emergency reinstall, but hopefully the outcome will be worth it. Here's what happened.
A player whose maps were disappearing because of other mods wrote to let me know my mod was in a list of mods that have been causing this problem (referred me to a forum link so I could read about the problem). She asked if I could fix it. I had been tweaking the mod for a new update soon, so looking into the cell was no problem. What I found, was I had accidentally deleted a flower and a rock. At the time I made the mod, I didn't know how to clean them, so EVERY cell that had either the flower or the rock had been logged as changed -- in addition to the cells that I copied furniture from, like Cloud Ruler Temple. So, even though my mod worked fine for me and nothing seemed different, there was well over a hundred cells that needed cleaning. :eek: Most of these cells were nowhere near my kojima, so I began resetting by area of number. But since I wasn't manually checking the results, I accidentally deleted two huge chunks of land from the island! Grrr! :bash:
I was really bummed out about it, but even after rebuilding the land in the CS, when I opened the game, Kielanai stepped out into the ocean! CS said land. Game said water. NANJAKORE???!!! :bitch: I was able to save my horse from drowning by taking him to Anvil, and then wear my water walking amulet to return to Kojima, thinking I could empty my houses before unticking the mod and reinstalling the older version. But when I got back to the house, because the land was set high above the water level, I couldn't reach the doors! GRRRRR!!!! So, I had to overwrite and accept the losses. Once I had land back in both the CS -AND- in the game, I was able to clean the mod (for the third time), fix the problem, rebuild the updates I lost, and get the mod uploaded. This morning I finished the screens and the mirror links. ... And that was all just step 1 in recovering my kimono. ;(
So, if anyone here has the disappearing map problem, my mod shouldn't be a cause for that now, if you want to update. One of the changes I made, I included the small mod of clothing I had previously released. So Corthian, you are listed in the credits this time. ^_^
Now that I know the mod isn't harming anyone else's games, I can finish filling my trunk with the remaining kimono and uniforms. That will be step 2 in recovering the losses.
Then, I will try to get the screenshots up for review of uniforms and finish the last two sets. Step 3 ...
igh:Slow, tedious progress, ... but I'm getting there. I still don't know why the CS was showing me rebuilt land and the game insisted nothing was there. That was just ... strange. -_-*
- Kodama - 05-19-2007
Yeah, i have had a lot of problems with the CS and the heightmap, so i know how frustrating modding can be.
I hope you fixed all the problems.
I have seen posts on Bethesda's forums about kimono's, complaining about the lack of color variation, i hope your kimono textures will please those people =) (i have seen people complain about that on Ronins threads, people always want more, they are never happy with what they get).
Don't forget to make backups of your progress and your old stuff, before you realize it, you loose a lot of work.
- Ysne - 05-21-2007
I'm glad you were able to figure out the problem and then fix it. You are much more resourceful than I am when it comes to using the CS.
Caught up! - Kielanai - 05-23-2007
Finally, I have all kimono and unforms back in the game. I have taken screens of the uniforms, but have not had time to put them together yet. So, I will complete last two uniforms and then post them all together. *imagine passed out icon here* This has been a busy week with lots of trips and taiko performances, and next week will be more busy. I will finish the uniforms tomorrow hopefully, but just to give fair warning, the month of June I may not be on-line much. I have a camping trip, trip to Kyoutou, and increased evening practice time for taiko planned, among other things. It should be good for my designs in sense of inspiration, but not much computer time. Anyway, I have not deserted, but just very busy for summer. I will work on other mod things as I can. Uniform additions, though, I hope to finish by tomorrow night. ^_^
I don't know if resourceful is right -- maybe just dumb luck. Hehe ... If I was good with the CS, I'd know scripting by now. -_-*
- Kodama - 05-23-2007
Ok, thanks for letting us know, and have fun on your camping trip =)
Uniforms done. - Kielanai - 05-24-2007
Clan Uniforms
There they are. ^_^ That's 7 for Tsaesci and 3 for others, according to previous post. Hope they are okay, but if anything needs changing, let me know before I upload. I didn't use new kimono mesh because I only got the mesh uploaded today and already had most of other uniforms done.
And thank you. =) Camping at Towada is usually fun, ... except for spiders. Spiders are not fun.
Uniforms - Kielanai - 06-06-2007
Kodama-saaaaan, I have posted uniforms link to you. If they do not work, please let me know.
I'm just checking in to transfer them and say I'm still here, even if I'm not making much progress lately. Been doing a lot of taiko -- four performances in three days last weekend. (Which was insane!) :O Also warming up to belly dancing lessons mid-week, and an English-Japanese exchange with some friends doing conversation practice in afternoons.
And with shodou, that's three or more days of extra classes, so I'm not on computer as much. But I am trying to clean up files and back-up the computer before taking trips, so when I restart any projects, hopefully I will not have problems like last time. I have Corthian's textures so I will work on them in-between as I have time; updates will just be a little slow this month because of other activities. Until then, I hope these are okay.
