Yeah you?re right I believe, islands like that I think would turn out pretty crazy landscape wise. 11.12.2006 23:23 IAMTHEEMPEROR Duke Registration Date: 04.07.2006 Posts: 1,919 Location: New England Glaciers also create jagged rocks. Also because it never rains and instead snows on solstheim, they could just not be as exposed to weathering as smooth rocks. Lets forget about why they are pointy for now, and instead just get our old favorite rocks into the game now. __________________ What is was not to that which never was. 12.12.2006 02:45 cow1787 First Knight Registration Date: 20.05.2006 Posts: 133 Location: Raleigh, NC Glaciers would be cool to see in the waters of Skyrim. __________________ .Make Art Not War. 12.12.2006 03:01 Alasdair Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 29.08.2006 Posts: 1,169 Location: Somerset, England The Mortrag Glacier was destroyed at the end of BM, but icebergs are certainly a possibility. 12.12.2006 21:17 The Old Ye Bard Princess Registration Date: 25.05.2006 Posts: 3,396 quote: Originally posted by Alasdair The Mortrag Glacier was destroyed at the end of BM, but icebergs are certainly a possibility.

It was on Thelys, but Thelys no longer exists so I don't know where to find it, it could be on TESsource but I'm not sure... 12.12.2006 23:29 Psychotic Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 30.07.2006 Posts: 3,420 Location: Sheogorath's Realm quote: Originally posted by The Old Ye Bard It was on Thelys, but Thelys no longer exists so I don't know where to find it, it could be on TESsource but I'm not sure...

Icebergs would be very cool indeed!!! It?d be cool if there was some very remote secret somewhere around the icebergs that you?d have to take a boat to (a player controlled boat, if there is a boat mod released that is neat enough to use).. 13.12.2006 01:35 Psychotic Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 30.07.2006 Posts: 3,420 Location: Sheogorath's Realm quote: Originally posted by -Sulan- Wow!

Well there was this idea of placing an ice cave inside an iceberg as a special sort of dungeon. I just hope we can get some iceberg models first. 13.12.2006 02:13 -Sulan- Chieftain of Skyrim Registration Date: 06.03.2006 Posts: 443 Location: Sweden quote: Originally posted by Psychotic quote: Originally posted by -Sulan- Wow!

Which in terms of time is about 3-10 more hours of hard work. But it's all good because I don't have school now for 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! 13.12.2006 03:28 IAMTHEEMPEROR Duke Registration Date: 04.07.2006 Posts: 1,919 Location: New England I know Raven Rock is pretty much dead/abandoned, but how is Fort Frostmoth faring? I'd think they may have given up after the werewolf attack. __________________ What is was not to that which never was. 13.12.2006 04:17 The Old Ye Bard Princess Registration Date: 25.05.2006 Posts: 3,396 quote: Originally posted by IAMTHEEMPEROR I know Raven Rock is pretty much dead/abandoned, but how is Fort Frostmoth faring? I'd think they may have given up after the werewolf attack. The captain ran away in madness, and then the Nords invaded and drove the imperials out. Then Necromancers took it over The walls never got rebuilt, so it is pretty much the same as it was at the end of the BM MQ, apart from the fact that Necromancer's inhabit it. 13.12.2006 04:29 Siesta Guru Elder of Skyrim Registration Date: 15.10.2006 Posts: 516 Location: Sleeping in a bar quote: Originally posted by The Old Ye Bard But it's all good because I don't have school now for 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!

That and a more user friendly UI were the 2 main ones I think 18.12.2006 11:36 The Old Ye Bard Princess Registration Date: 25.05.2006 Posts: 3,396 *Update* I have decided to refrain from redoing all the ground textures and fixing the terrain until I can get over the fact I lost 8+ hors of work, so instead I am going to concentrate on getting Thormoor's Watch completly finished, including interiors and exteriors. So that is about 10+ tents and a Skaal Watch Tower/Lighthouse (Being made by Entartet). Once that is done, I'll move onto the Horker Hunting Camp, which is only going to be 3-5 tents. After that I'll get all finished dungeons and Dwelling merged and connected to their respectful exteriors. Then I'll get Thirsk and the Skaal Village in (permitting the exterior moels are made). Then I'll fix all of the bugs in the landscape (because I want a big gap before I have to tackle the massive task again). Cheers, TOYB P.S. The tent colour is a lot whiter now, however it is still slightly tinted brown, which is okay as it is very close to the colour of a Horker now anyway. 18.12.2006 21:17 Alasdair Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 29.08.2006 Posts: 1,169 Location: Somerset, England Fix the exterior first, then merge it into the Solstheim master so multiple people can work on it at once. 18.12.2006 21:20 The Old Ye Bard Princess Registration Date: 25.05.2006 Posts: 3,396 quote: Originally posted by Alasdair Fix the exterior first, then merge it into the Solstheim master so multiple people can work on it at once. There is no point in two people working on the Exterior as it really is only a one person job (well one person meaning me who is really three peoples speed ). The best thing people can do to help me is to finish interiors as I put them up, or atleast claim them. 18.12.2006 21:23 Alasdair Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 29.08.2006 Posts: 1,169 Location: Somerset, England Yes - but other people may like to help (and should be given the opportunity to do so). Whether you think it is pointless or not, it's still a community effort. 18.12.2006 21:27 The Old Ye Bard Princess Registration Date: 25.05.2006 Posts: 3,396 quote: Originally posted by Alasdair Yes - but other people may like to help (and should be given the opportunity to do so). Whether you think it is pointless or not, it's still a community effort. But really I can get most of the exterior work done in the next 5-9 hours anyway, and most of the exterior work after fixing the lanscape textures can only be done when the appropriate models have been made. If peope really want to help, they can pick up interiors as soon I'll be putting up about 18 tent claims. 18.12.2006 21:30 Alasdair Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 29.08.2006 Posts: 1,169 Location: Somerset, England Next 5-9 hours you say? I shall be expecting many beautiful screenshots to be coming really soon then. 18.12.2006 21:39 The Old Ye Bard Princess Registration Date: 25.05.2006 Posts: 3,396 quote: Originally posted by Alasdair Next 5-9 hours you say?

Also I have already put the way I'm going to be handling things, the exterior work will come last. Also that whole list will be finished as soon as Entartet releases his model set, which I assume will be quite soon anyway and even if I did give the file over to another person to do half of the work it would more likely take longer because of peoples work schedule differing slightly from mine. 18.12.2006 21:51 Psychotic Jarl of Skyrim Registration Date: 30.07.2006 Posts: 3,420 Location: Sheogorath's Realm All interiors and exteriors of Solstheim should be available for public claiming. Once we have the models required they should be merged with the main file and the file should be made available for internal downloading. Merge your Horker skin tents with the Solstheim.esp once you have finished them and put the ints for Thormoor's Watch up for claiming. You can do the exterior of Thormoor's Watch, but all other exterior locations should be opened for claiming. Since it's better to have the all the land textures and all the rocks and trees tweaked before any other statics are placed, interior work is the best focus of our efforts atm (aka the tent ints for Thormoor's Watch). Also since we will need to place Greybeard's pointy rocks around the island and since Cow has made some very nice land textures for us it might be better if we generated all the land textures and statics from scratch so the new rocks and land textures can be included... it would definitely take a lot longer for this to be done by hand. 19.12.2006 01:26 Siegfried Archduke Registration Date: 07.03.2006 Posts: 2,598 Location: With Your Mom... I definitely agree about re-generating the terrain textures and statics once we have all our models, we can make it much better looking that way. 19.12.2006 01:36 Pages (4): « previous 1 [2] 3 4 next » Tree Structure | Board Structure Silgrad Tower: Oblivion » Beyond Cyrodiil » Skyrim for Oblivion » Skyrim Claims Section » Skyrim Exterior Claims » Solstheim!
