[WIP] TESIII: Cyrodiil - Download here!! Requesting Modders?

Vality7 · Post by **Vality7** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 2:28 am

I know work here is already tied up with the Morrowind Province & Hammerfell projects, but I think this can easily, slowly, work along-side the two. The reason why: the world is already made. All that it needs is texturing, building and tree meshes. Then comes NPCs and quests, but that can wait. If anyone wants to work with me then let me know! Follow the link below.

Though if the head TR people here think this is too much to take on for now i'll just silently, and slowly work on it in the background by myself.

I've imported the heightmap of Cyrodiil from Oblivion directly to Morrowind. It takes up 65x65 cells, though this can be made bigger. So far i've made a little test map scaled down to 20x20 cells. Its not textured or anything so it looks a little boring but you can download at the link below.

Heres the page where you can download what i've done - http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=518459

I don't want to kill any life quests or anything, but I would recommend sticking to Morrowind and/or Oblivion. The fewer projects we have going on here, the faster they all get finished.

Isn't it, like, illegal or something to take stuff from Oblivion and put it on Morrowind? Sure, heightmaps are fine, but you'd still need to make every single, little mesh for everything that you needed still.

Plus, I doubt Bethesda'd be too happy about it. :p

But really, I agree with what Haplo said. If we have less projects, they'll get done faster.

Well I guess i'll do it myself, but when the time comes for TR to make Cyrodiil, this will save you a lot of time.

Did you try it though? And have you seen the Infinite View Distance mod? The link for that is in my sig on the ES Forums.

Well i'm not too happy with Bethesda then. Dont get me wrong they make good games and all but how can they stop anyone using a heightmap that they made accessible? It simply saves anyone making it by hand, and is 100% accurate. How can anyone complain about that?

And yes I know that taking meshes and textures is probably illegal too (though I truly cant understand why), but that doesn't really matter. Theres plenty of good stuff around already. I see someones already made Cheydihal! (in the link in the first post)

From your ESF post:

those six parts of MW are gonna take years! Its been 4? years and they havent even released map1!

And that's why TR will never be working on Cyrodiil for the Morrowind engine.

A) Morrowind was never finished.

B) We are not exclusively working on TES:III.. we have other projects. Such as the Isle of Stirk, and the Goldmoor region.

c) The they you are referring it to is any number of a couple hundred people who have worked on this project. Many of which came and went as they pleased leaving this project in various states of disrepair. We are constantly evolving. We are not the same community which set out on the pipedream to have an entire Morrowind province... created by anonymous modders, with no quality controls, or pre-planning of any kind.

I am interested however, in your heightmapping experience

Okay so I guess i'm kinda on my own. But I am officially a TR modder now so I wont abandon TR. I'm sure i'll find a small non-TR team to help me.

I've just uploaded a 65x65 cell Cyrodiil now. Get it here - [url=http://www.bestsharing.com/files/ms00188919/TES3Cyrodiil.7z.html]Go to this page and click Download File[/url]
This version is really only playable with the [url=http://tinyurl.com/em935]Infinite View Distance mod[/url]so get that if you want to see this mod.

do I need all the Morrowind TR stuff first?

I can try and help as I'm not a TR Modder.... yet, so I have nothing to do because my showcase is finished

although doing anything will be hard for the next couple of weeks as I'm going to switch to high speed cable at some point so I won't have the internet for a little while
