Map 3 NPC Claim #3 [Tondollari]

WG mountain terrain can be interesting if the grass type is AI. I've done this in A5 before. Point is the generic WG region, I think.

I really like TRV, but I think it's not the type of region that would be stretched over such a large area, I think that's the point Aeven wanted to clear.
I'm very much against WG as well though, so I'm fine with TRV taking up a bit more space here

Part of the point of the TRV was to break up the endless repition of WG mountains all over TR. I'd keep as much AI valley stuff as you can, even if it's not directly built around tributaries from the Thirr.

BC is correct.

Looking at Nomad's map, (http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/download.php?id=19576) I'd actually say that most of this claim could be made AI instead of WG, transitioning towards the Othrensis-Grazelands in the east. There's no need to have yet another vast WG mountain range thrusting down the middle of the countryside.

Would there be a virtue in adding a road between Roa Dyr and Othrensis? At present you have to go all the way up to the north coast, through the bog, if you want to get to Almalexia from Almas Thirr.

That would make sense. It'd require some slight retooling of A6 though, but not too much. I looked at this when I still had it, and a single cell of A6 is all that needs changing IIRC.

Although not 100% sure, I think the mountain range is there just because we wanted to impossibleonize a road between Roa Dyr and Othrensis. Something about making the thirr river valley a dedicated transport route or something. I don't recall any road maps on this, but I wonder if TF had one or if him of Haplo recall the discussion here.

Note, the original claim map did have a road though...

It should be a footpath, nothing big; enough for a pack guar.

Uploading a WIP. The only nearly-done bit is the island-like formation in the southwest (I know it's not really an island

)

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:35 pm

Any new stuff to report the last month, perhaps?

Katze · Post by **Katze** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:06 am

Got your update right here. Maybe not as much work as I could have put in, but it's definitely something.

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Mar 26, 2011 3:23 pm

Whoops, this needs an update by Monday.

Katze · Post by **Katze** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:08 pm

I really don't think I can do the rest of this justice, just not finding the time to do enough modding recently. Going to upload my current file, and drop this.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:04 pm

I noticed the 50% GL_grass rule I wrote about at page 1 seems to have gone unnoticed after Cathartis claimed this. New claimer must create the following transition in this claim:

- GL_Grass_01 should be the main grass used for the southernmost cells of this claim.
- Orange trees more used than green ones in same area.

It will give the region a slightly "warmer" look as we approach Lake Andaram and map 6.

I'd be happy to take this again. Not entirely sure how fast this will go, as my end exams are fast approaching. Nonetheless, I should be able to make some good progress.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 12:03 pm

No prob.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 7:51 pm

First new WIP. Nothing amazing, but some nice stuff.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:25 pm

New file, clean.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sun May 08, 2011 12:11 pm

New WIP. Not too much since last time, but progress. I'll be busy with my exams+vacation next 4 weeks, so it'll be quite slow for a while. After that it's possible to complete this quickly.

This may not be in SE, but I still view it as rather high priority. Please update in the next week.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:11 am

I just got back from Berlin, but this file should have some (small) progress. Should get some more done soon!

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:39 pm

New file. Got some reasonable progress done. Been speeding up

Edit: missed a few things in cleaning! It's clean now!

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:05 am

Mornin' Aeven, have any updates for this claim?

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 3:20 pm

So much for speeding up! :O I'll offer a new file today or tomorrow some time.

Nemon, I was wondering if you have any good suggestion for foliage in the southern part of this claim? I was thinking pinkish stuff, like the willow flowers.

(Small note: it's entirely possible this won't be finished before I go to University, in which case I'll have it revoked. There's still more than a month to go on that though, so maybe everything will turn out fine!

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 9:21 pm

Sorry I haven't any ideas here, how about some Aevenish improvisation and we'll have a look at it?

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sat Jul 16, 2011 11:08 pm

New file, not clean, will get more done tomorrow!

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:44 pm

So, you're within the update week now, Aeven. Done much?

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:28 am

OMFG it's happening again!

Anyway, I'll be "gone" soon for at least a number of weeks, so I'll try and get some work done today, and upload a clean WIP file.

Unless you don't mind me being even slower on this one, then I'd suggest you consider revoking it after I upload a WIP.

EDIT: Uploaded a clean WIP file. For someone who actually has the time to work on this, it probably wouldn't take too long. Consider this me asking to revoke it.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:41 pm

Revokydoky!

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 2:21 pm

Believe it or not, I think I could pick this up again.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:14 pm

Granted!

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Mon Jan 02, 2012 11:03 am

Any progress here? No posts since LAST YEAR zmg!

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 3:41 pm

I've made some minor progress recently, but I will probably do a lot of work tomorrow. I'm still kind of busy with lots a lot of midterm exams.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:03 pm

New file, not clean and nothing major, but progress is progress

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 2:54 pm

Finally got some more work done, which is a good base to work from.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 2:38 pm

Here are some screenshots since the last file.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 4:55 pm

Looking good...

Mwgek · Post by **Mwgek** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 6:02 pm

Nice, nicer and nicest.

Good job.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 11:54 am

Aeven, please update status on this claim. It's been in your hands a while now, anywhere near completion?

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 12:45 pm

It should be finished soon, I started work again recently. Expect a new file next week.

Aeven · Post by **Aeven** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:59 pm

Done some minor work. Once I get the time, this could go fast.
