5-17-Red

Claim type: Exterior
Claim ID: TR_5-17-Red (#1213)
Faction: Redoran
Claimed by: Sir Dave
Status: Approved (Progress: 100%)
Location: (-29,14):(-26,12), Size: 12
Files: TR_5-17-Red_Haplo_1.esp; TR_5-17-Red_Sir Dave_5.esp

---

Uld Vraech, Velothi Mountains, roads and wilderness.

Please download the merged map 5, meshes and textures found here: http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=19347 - and work from the esp. Smooth/fix and change landscape if necessary, preferably not so much at claim borders.

Note that cleaning irrelevant cells may create land tears, so backup your work regularly and often. It is advisable to keep neighboring claim cells while working on your claim IF they are in a acceptable finished state, as to keep static/texture/style consistency in our work. If in doubt, look to earlier finished claims for reference.

The program TESAME is okay for cleaning.

5-17 should continue on the BM wilderness style of 5-28, as well as continuing the river flowing from 5-11 in the same manner. It's tricky but looks really awesome.

Make sure to create the bridges tall enough for ships to pass under. Nordic burial ruins is acceptable north of the Cormaris river (in the UV part of this claim). Add caves and stuff as you'd like as well, and don't forget the occasional civilian residence.

See this picture for regional borders, roads and rivers. Some roads are a little "off" in the Uld Vraech part, but the merged map file has the layout we're aiming for.

Claiming.

I'll add a farm or two to this area, as well as a guards post at the end of the bridge.

Is a ropebridge over the rivers acceptable? I tried making a bridge with redoran statics, but it looked awkward.

Also: is a dwemer ruin in this area okay?

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 12:41 pm

Granted!
Farm or two is okay, guard post as well. Regarding rope bridge, it's supposed to be a main road wo the bridge would have to be able to support a guar cart or similar size at least. Perhaps the nord stone bridge could work? Even imperial bridge would be "acceptable" since they like infrastructure... Feel free to test different stuff. Dwemer ruin ok as well.

Oh, and I might have forgotten to drop the new TR_terrain_BM_scliff_01 - 06 statics here, they are really nifty statics that looks awesome!

Any progresstuffthings on this one?

Sir Dave · Post by **Sir Dave** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:16 pm

Yep.

Be sure to give me some feedback on the bridge I've designed. It was quite difficult to come up with something that could have a ship sailing underneath without defying physics entirely.

I've mainly focussed on the bridge and some other structures so far.

Yeah, that seems to work. Nice ruin as well!

"Nice" has to be the understatement of the week, that thing is awesome. I love the Redoran outpost too.

The ruin is great; this whole claim shows a great eye for exterior work, really very well done.

It would be nice if the bridge was flat - it's weird running over it in-game. Perhaps a 'floor tile' could be made with the texture of the bridge, to fill in the gaps?

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 1:29 pm

Yeah, ok. Let me rephrase "nice" to "great" then! Sometimes we just get too used to great stuff, we're raising the bar every year. Remember when my former Kogotel got tons of praise back in '08? I'd barely approve it today...

This is really great stuff! Keep it up dude

Sir Dave · Post by **Sir Dave** » Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:45 pm

Done!

Interiors:

-27,12 Large Dwemer ruin
-26,13 Redoran guard post
-27,14 Farm with storage shack
-28,14 Farmhouse and hidden between the rocks is a cave
-28,12 Two caves. The lower one is meant as a mine infested with something nasty, the other one could also be a mine, but abandoned
-29,12 cave, could be a bandit hideout maybe.
-29,13 hidden behind a waterfall is a dwemer door, supposed to be a tiny ruin
-29,14 a tomb

Hey, this is really great! You do have a number of casperings in the Dwemer 'castle' part though, especially near the gate. Also seems you forgot the door for the ruin behind the waterfall.

But really nice stuff!

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:15 pm

This looks simply stunning. Dwemer ruin unlike anything we've made so far, fancy usage of timber and a perfect continuation of the 5-11 river - even featuring a hidden ruin under one of its waterfalls. So many details, this is the kinda stuff that make our mod outstanding!

Yeah, no one who has ever played a video game before will ever think of looking there.

In all seriousness, this is some spectacularly awesome exterior work, Sir Dave. The Dwemer ruin, large waterfall, Redoran outpost, use of tall bridges and log cabin you cobbled together are all amazingly creative.

I did, however, notice a number of seams in the waterfall where the water statics donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t line up properly, but those should be easy enough to fix.

TESAME: Dirty

Fits exterior: Yes

Northmarker set: Yes
Loading errors: No

Review: Fixed some caspering in the dwemer ruin, some missing vertex shading and some issues with the waterfalls. A few edits lingered from the base map 5 file, these have been cleaned.

This claim is a really nice piece of work, the amount of stuff and details is simply overwhelming and I am really looking forward to seeing this elaborated with interiors, NPCs, quests and monsters. The dwemer ruin is one thing, the wooden cabin and small settlements another thing, simply put this is a really well created exterior.

Some errors, floaters and caspers are to be expected, most should be fixed in this file.
