Miraclestone's Exterior/Interior Showcase

Post by **Seneca37** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 7:09 pm

Fantastic work !!!

I am recommending you for promotion to interiors. Wish we'd caught that modding issue sooner, you'd have had this done in 2 or 3 revisions at most.

I see what you mean about the lanterns. You actually positioned them too well. In the future, don't add the x and y rotation, just position the lantern over the lowest kink in the rope.

Just so you know, if you work on an interior that requires de_p furniture, you may use the TR_furn_de_p items. They have flat level surfaces.

It'll take a day or two for the promotion to go through, but feel free to look over the unclaimed interiors. You can even try to claim one, but I'm not sure if the system will let you, until you've been promoted. Just post a message, and I'll be sure to hold it for you.

So, welcome to the team. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks seneca37 and everyone else, happy to be here! I'll get to work on the Exterior this weekend and was thinking about trying my hand at a quest showcase because I've seen a need for it here. I don't know what language Morrowind uses (I know Skyrim using Papyrus but if I remember correctly they used something different in Oblivion and Morrowind) but I'll look at UESP and other places for tutorials on the syntax.

Update on the Exterior Showcase, after a week of on and off working on fixing the showcase I think its safe to say I can't save it. It wont be the way I first envisioned it and below my personal standards. Some of the concepts can't be saved like the 'Velothi_hilltent' which was held up by wooden pillars to extend the height that would normally be allowed. In my modded version it looked fine but the pillars clip in the clean version and I can't find a way to have them fit correctly without blending. Other issues include some object's collusion causing issues with navigating the terrain, blocking paths and such.

Basically, I'll be starting a new exterior showcase in the same two cells and that might take a bit. I might do the quest showcase first but not sure yet.

Redoing work isn't always exactly fun, but I find that it does tend to lead to much better results than in the first go, as one tends to have a better idea of what one wants to do and how to do it.

At the moment there aren't too many exteriors to work on anyway. Once planning for the Othreleth Woods starts rolling along again you may want to get a move on, though.

Edit: also, I somehow managed to forget to post: congratulations on your promotion!

It will be good practice anyways. I know what the project's standards are better and think my original concept may have been too flashy without the detail to back it.

PS no problem that you forgot, formalities are overrated
