Map of the Empire

Post by Stalker »

I made this for one of my interiors. If ppl like it I can release a small pack of maps of various parts of the Empire and VF (like Vivec for example)

Yeh looks very good, I always missed these kind of maps in the game! We can actually use maps of the Mainland, since the in-game map wont work. So perhaps you can start making some maps of Map 1 or something? (Just a suggestion, I don't know if people are working on it already).

Looks great.

For some unknown reason I can't open some of ingame bookart dds's. And I really need 'em. If someone will manage to open these files please save 'em in bmp or tga or psd and send them to me. I'll be really grateful. Here's the list of the files:
1) aldruhnregion_377_253.dds
2) balmoraregion_377_253.dds
3) cyrodiil_377_253.dds
4) elsweyr_377_253.dds
5) hammerfell_377_253.dds
6) highrock_377_253.dds
7) morrowind_377_253.dds
8) redmountain_377_253.dds
9) sadrithmoraregion_377_253.dds
10) valenwood_377_253.dds
11) skyrim_377_253.dds
12) vivecregion_377_253.dds
This is what I see instead of those DDSs:

I think I'll just make one with and one without "empire"

As for making Map 1 etc... it's impossible at my level of Photoshop knowledge 'cause I don't know how to make the map look like the one on the screenie.

And, maybe, in the local government offices, or on strider ports ... whereever travelers might happen to come by. And, also, one can hang them to walls and stuff rooms full of them ... :D

Yeh I was thinking about that the other day. Adding places where there are huge maps hanging around, so you can clearly see where you are and use them to pla a route. We need quite some good maps and stuff since the in-game Worldmap is useless on the mainland.

Is it feasible to place on the map, key road markers?

As that would help the player to determine an approximate location of where they are on the map.

Tapesty mesh is too big. Maps themselves are realy low rez so they'll look bad on big meshes.

Here's the map of Sadrith Mora Region.

BETA version is ready. I need ppl to test it for me. Maps + cartographer can be found in Seyda Need Census & Exercise near the guy who generates your class. A few things:
1) I'm aware of missing Cyrodiil map texure. Because of some unknown reason I can save the texture in DDS format and in TGA it's size is 1.3 Mb
2) This mod's ESP is dirty like hell. DON'T SAVE YOUR GAME USING THIS MOD !!!
3) I would like to be hearing reports from you ASAP.

As soon as somebody will make me a new mesh (read "Model request" topic) I'll make poster versions of the maps. Now they act like scrolls.

Can you use the stamp tool to eliminate the other provinces from the morrowind map? Also could you try to scan solstheim in and draw the outline of it?

W\o other provinces it'll look really nasty. And yes I can scan (actually DL) Solsteim map but I can't the outline of it because I don't know how.

Solsteim on Tamriel Map?

Post by freewaydog »

How come I don't see Solsteim on the map of Tamriel? Isn't it supposed to be in or around Skyrim, or something? I don't see it ANYWHERE AT ALL????? I am puzzled. :?:

You left out Gilane and Dragonstar in your map of Hammerfell.

Are you by any chance using the Pocket Guide for these maps? If so, you should realize that the Pocket guide's maps are out of date (it was written around 2E864) and you should consult the Arena maps to update your maps.

the whole map making is interesting, um maybe there should be some kind of scout central in one of the cities where scouts hang out and talk travel, some kind of traveler pub or something...just and idea.
