Total Conversion Mods

Post by Fineldar »

I've been watching this project for a long time now, maybe 2-3 years or more, and I think it's really cool. I might help, but I have no area of expertise and I'm very erratic and lazy with work.

Anyways, I was wondering how Total Conversion stuff worked with TES: Construction Set. Do you click some magic button, move some files over and you have a nice Morrowind Plugin on Olbivion or whatevr game to whatnot? I'm guessing it's not that simple.

Also, if you Total Conversion does what I think it doesw hat I think it does,which it probably doesn't, are there any plans to total convert all of Tamriel Rebuilt over to Tes: VI or whenever the whole thing is finished?

Aaand I liked Oblivion, but I was unimpressed by Cyrodill in it. It's supposed to be big, and huge and cool, and stuff! Before Oblivion came out I was hoping to be able to play in it, but I guess you guys aren't going to make it now. But don't pay attention to this, answer my question. Please?

I'm not an expert, but last time I looked our mods were not total conversions.
Though you might find a member here who likes to dispense information about TC-ing in TES, I'd check the official ES forums as they are bound to have a lot more information.

we are not a TC mod. As for your other questions I am unable to answer them either because I don't know, or I can't understand what you are trying to say.

well, it realy depends on how total you want your total conversion to be. if you want to simply have a new land but use vanilla resources all you have to do is make a new world space with your region and make the player generation there. wich is realy not that simple, since the whole world would need to be made. if you want to make a totaly different game on beth's engine, you first have to make all the meshes, textures, etc. that would be needed for your mod and then get them in the CS. only then could you create the world in the CS.

our mods are not total conversions because you can freely move to and fro the original landmass and our mod. in a TC the original landmass is nonexistant.

I know that there is some kind of conversion program to convert MW to an oblivion world if you have both MW and OB installed, but that program is in progress.

And it's also illegal in case you attempt to convert original Beth models, so let's keep such discussions out of public forums.

This is strange. Everyone is so afraid of things being illegal of something out here. It's not something to be obsessed with.

To answer Fineldar's questions.

No. We aren't going to do that.

There is a Cyrodiil mod for Morrowind, headed by Vality7. He has an account here, but I would suggest finding the related thread on the ESF and/or PMing him there.

And Lonewolf stop being a hypocrite.
