I'm back, progress going well, I'm taking screenies here and there. I'll upload some in a day or so.

I would like to claim this and continue working on Haplo's work. It would be my first exterior ever so it is perfectly OK, if you reject me.
My idea is to put a small niche of forest to the east of claim, surrounded by cliffs with mountain paths above and perhaps some abadoned quarry with little waterfall coming into the pound down there, if there is place for it.
I promise that if I do not do any reasonable progress until end of next week, I will give this up myself.

Ok, progress time...
This is my first exterior claim ever and moreover my CS is desperately slow (if you have some advices how to speed up moding I would be grateful) so progress might be quite slow for now.
However I am learning as I go and I still have plenty of time in summer so I plan to finish this claim. But first I would like you to have a look on my screenies and say whether it is worthy or whether I should drop it...

Here is what I did so far:
[img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/WLKOUSZ/Claim.jpg[/img]
RED area is more or less finished. It contains huge three store Velothi Dome with caves under it which exit lower in the west towards the Almalexia.
In YELLOW area I would like to include dense forest with ruins of some old settlement, probably reaching to the mountains in the east. Also woodcutters hut might be there.
BLUE claim will contain quarry with mine entrance and possibly little lake with small waterfall.
I expect this claim to be finished by the end of July at latest.
EDIT: Could someone please advice me how can I make borders between cells visible?

Recently I experience some problems with my graphic card.
Possibly it is because the vent does not work properly and the card becomes overheated soon, so I unfortunately am not able to mod for too long time. However I do some progress and will do my best to finish this until end of August.
Basically I have an idea for each cell. In the future I would like to do some haunted quest in this area, for there is a story spawning behind each cell in my mind.
I need to do most work on the mine, burials, forest and platform in the southern part of claim. Other cells require more detailing (container flora) and I will have to redo vertex shading as well.
I hope to achieve nice memorable look for each cell with minimum interiors (possibly only the Velothi Dome, which can be replaced or removed), but I hope I will not put too much points of interest for such a small claim.
The esp is very dirty and contains lot of experimental statics and breaches to surrounding claims, which I will remove with Tesame alter.
Please do not download it now, I would die of shame if someone watched it, it is here just to backup.

SHIT!
I really hate to do that, but I have to drop this claim.
Until I save on better computer I am technically unable to work on this.
I am so pissed of by this you cannot imagine. Despite being a shit exterior modder I wanted to finish this claim into perfection and improve my skills.
There is the messy esp on the top of this thread if someone wants to use it. Some work with TESAME and some deleting and this makes a bit more developed claim then Haplo posted.
If someone would like to take over the ideas I had for my claim I would praise his name, but if you use Haplo's version or start from scratch I will understand fully.
I hope Noir will not pull my ears for this too much, before he leaves.

Thank you both, guys. As if all bad spirits tried to prevent me from finishing this claim. Never
The good news is that while not wasting time on this forums I placed 150 statics in one of cells and shaded them practically finishing it matching TR standards. I will update this thread soon with some juicy screenshots and new esp.

Just letting you know I am still working on this. W, NW, N, SE cells finished.
The mine (SW) and the Indoril platform (S) give me some trouble, but I have made the basic shape already and will start adding details soon. Also E and NE have been redone and need just some detailing now. The biggest pain will be the central forest (C).

So here comes the recent version. I had to remove Vertex Shading again as it look awkward. First I will finish detailing and then study the shading technique on surrounding claims, or leave it to someone with more skill as this gives me a lot of trouble.
Quarry and platform are almost finished. I plan to add some details like dishes and other misc. items.
All other cells, except central forest, which really gives me trouble, are detailed.
Perhaps I could change a bit mountain path in N slope in W and dead forest in E. Right now number of objects in each cell varies from 150 in valley to 300 in quarry.
I will try to make some screenies, before my graphic card collapses again.
Working in 640x480 resoution with CS falling down each 5 minutes is no fun indeed.

From what I can see it looks great, except for those fences next to the path. They are way too straight and perfectly alligned. It needs to look more wild and old. I
d say delete a lot of the parts of the fence and just let a few pieces remain and make their angles less uniform.
Toher than that, I love how it looks. Some parts really have that inhospitable look and the contrast with the fields is great.

Thank you everybody for your valuable comments. I will redo the fences as suggested. Except these I already finished the mine and platform and all that remains to be done is the forest which will not be that hard as it seemed once I realized it is smarter to put rocks, plants and undergrowth first and then big trees.
Thanks for the offer Kingfish, hopefuly I will be able to vertex shade it myslef.
I studied surrounding claims and learned that my mistake was that I tried to put shades around each static, even the major rocks, which did not just look right in the end. But if it does not work out, I will surely ask you for help.

Submitting finished version for review.
Claim contains ruins of old Velothi settlements of Old Almalexia, which has been ruined by horrible fire and epidemies and then new Almalexia was founded. To the old town belonged ancient Velothi Dome and Burial grounds with dead buried in old Nomadic ways. After the catastrophe creatures and undead started to roam the ruins and bandits settled nearby.
Recently noble family of Thrasyonis of Almalexia discovered the area is rich for Ebony and started to mine there. QUarry, Overseer platform and tunnel from quarry to the west have been built. But during the mining a passage to cellars of the Dome has been uncovered and strange things started to happen. Strange accidents and noises, flames and lights flying during the night. In the end the tunnel caved in and miners have been separated from their homes with only dangerous wilderness around. Just brainstorming...
I am happy to finish this for now I will have finally more time for quests!

Very nice claim. There are a few minor errors here and there. For example, there is a rock that floats a bit on one corner, and in the burial trees, some of the skeletons are not placed as well as they should be.
However, the rest of this claim is sublime. Instead of sending it back to you to fix, I am going to fix the half-dozen errors myself, and merge it. Great job.

Oh wow, I just found an interesting error. In the mining quarry, it seems that the cliffs have somehow been deleted. Could you do me a favor, take your file, and see what happened? If the cliffs were deleted, could you replace them for me?
Also, I discovered a bunch of floaters, specifically among rocks. If you could just spend twenty minutes and go through the claim, making sure everything is firmly grounded, I would appreciate it a lot.
