 Oblivion: Blacklight alpha 4 progress |
    |
Finally gotten my head together again and have started working on the
west wall of Blacklight. I've already known that I can't bring it back
to the octagon shape of the Morrowind version (since it goes to the
eastern shore now) but will do it for the NW and NE areas of the city.
When the walls are finished, I'll start smoothing out the land and put
basic building structures. Except for the Docks area (which covers the
bay) and the eastern shore, the whole interior of the city will have
different worldspaces and a sewer system excluding the Dock section.
The canal which will go around a part of the Dock section will have
grates leading from the city and maybe an entrance.
Even though the main Morrowind map does not show it, the southern
border of the land Blacklight is in will be mountains. That way it
would be impassable (would actually lead to nowhere). There will be a
couple of gateway tunnels, one leading to Silgrad and one leading to
Skyrim. There is a catch of course. The one leading to Silgrad is
manned by Imperial soldiers and the one to Skyrim has been conquered by
Nords. Both are underground fortresses.
As well there is now a worldspace barrier. Beyond the gates there will
be sea travel, to Windhelm, Ebbedin, Silgrad, and Vvardenfell.
(Probably a seperate .esp file).
Well, I'm going back to that western wall. Keep modding!

From the map we've got on the site, it looks like Silgrad Tower isn't
directly on the coast, although it does have a nearby river.
It is perfectly plausible that there could be a small port on the river
that connects to Silgrad, though I have no idea if there are plans to
mod anything like that.
The idea of an underground passage is pretty cool though.
I'm not really that familiar with Blacklight, which is a shame, cause it looks like a cool project
Good luck and good modding!

I've now gotten a couple more cells worked on. Hitting a little of a
problem whether to extend the western wall one cell westward and then
moving north from there. Blacklight is a major city in Morrowind and
one of the most important Imperial cities there. Just like to know your
thoughts.
