Hey guys, I'm back, sorry for being gone so long. Now that it's summer and I'll be less busy, I'll finish this one and come back online more often.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 9:01 pm

I'll be out of town until the 22nd. I redid one of the statics for a cell and I decided to put an eggmine entrance in. I'm working on placing container flora about in the first cell. I'll post my progress two sundays from now.

hi,

could you give us a progress report as soon as you get back, please?

kf

btw: what do you mean by: i redid one of the statics? a new/altered mesh?

hello, anybody home?

cursor hovers above the "revoke" button...

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 9:39 pm

Sorry, I'm here and still working on it,(at an extremely slow pace though). If anyone wants to take this one over, they can have it, otherwise I'll continue my work on it.

Edit: The redoing the statics thing was just adding more statics to the cell.

EDIT: I'll try to post again Sunday with my progress. Until then I'll keep working on it.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 10:35 pm

Still needs container flora placing and vertex shading. 1/3 way done placing containers.

Post by **Swiftoak** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 1:25 am

9 cells eh. If you think its too much, Ill be happt to do this.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:25 pm

That's alright. I've found enough motivation to finish this now. Hopefully school won't sap out all of my energy. =)

Post by **Swiftoak** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:57 pm

Me too.

Update for the week of 9/18/05: Look at previous update. I haven't done that much in the past week, but will start continue working on it today. (Very busy last week.)

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 1:16 am

Update for 10/11/05:

I'm uploading the updated file. I've completed container flora placement for another cell making the finished cell count 4/9 cells done (excluding vertex shading).

Hopefully I'll be picking up the pace with this claim and maybe return to the other areas around TR besides just my claim. We'll see if my grades permit it.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 11:17 pm

Update for 10/16/05:

I'm uploading the updated file. (Does anyone know how to get rid of the old files?) That makes 2/3 of the cells done with container flora placement. Just 3 more and I'll be able to start with vertex shading.

Progress on this is now up again. I should have this done pretty soon.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:06 pm

Update for 10/23/05:

I'm uploading the updated file. (Does anyone know how to get rid of the old files?) That makes 7/9 of the cells done with container flora placement. Just 1 more and I'll be able to start with vertex shading.

Progress?

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 11:59 pm

Sorry, I've been distracted lately and have neglected my claim for the past two weeks. Just look at the previous update. I will post another update Sunday and continue my work until then.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 11:30 pm

Huzzah! It's finally ready for review. Since this is my first claim I'm not exactly sure if everything's there or not. I cleaned it with TESAME but I might have missed a few things.

Also, did I have to name my cells? I just left them as "Wilderness".

Edit: "TR_4-5-Red_CommonsNat_5.esp" is the cleaned and complete(hopefully) file. Also, in my absence I've forgotten how to change my claim description.If someone could please remind me so I can change it, it would be appreciated. I'd like to switch it to "Ready for review." and I can't seem to find the button...

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 11:01 pm

BUMP. See above post.

Dexter · Post by **Dexter** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 12:07 am

Moved for kingfish to review when he gets back.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:51 am

Thanks Dexter. I guess I'll just take a break from the my meager modding duties in the meantime. (Yay! Mini-vacation!)

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:31 pm

Use my file up top for merging.

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 9:10 pm

This is not finished, I left out 8 cells. Use the file at the top for claiming please.

granting, happy modding?

Nevar!

Post by **Haplo** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 4:54 am

Woot got the land pulled. Next I'll start shaping it and matching borders, then applying textures.

Post by **Haplo** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 11:06 pm

Border's mostly matched. I'm gonna match them up with Map 5 next after I texture the cells.

Post by **Haplo** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 2:07 am

Update: Land shaped, matched borders with Map 5, borders are completely matched now, and land textures are applied. Next I'll start adding statics and fine tuning landscape. I'd say... 50% now. Next update will include an .esp file

Post by **Haplo** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 10:08 pm

Meh, it's going; I've started adding foliage and rocks and stuff.

Post by **Haplo** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:09 pm

Here are two pictures of the claim. It's coming along well.

Awesome-o! Man, I miss the simple days of TES III CS... Almost no crashing, Vista only a mere rumour and Noirgrim on my back with his whip.

Lud · Post by **Lud** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 12:14 pm

There are whole unclaimed forums waiting for you when you finish 8-1 ;P

Looking nice, Hap.

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:28 pm

Not much progress. Entering the last month of my high school career now and AP Biology and Government are keeping me plenty busy. But summer comes May 17th so if it's not done by then (probably close), I'll hopefully be able to bang it out in two or three days.

I added a little forced pathway and a Velothi tomb in cell (-28,-5), as well as statics to other cells. Bumping progress to 60%

Post by **Haplo** » Mon May 05, 2008 11:41 pm

Did a major overhaul of the northern strip. No more interior, but much more done percentage wise. 80%!

Post by **Haplo** » Thu May 29, 2008 2:34 am

No progress on this, I've been busy with Map 3. I've started to split Map 3 up for the detailing stage that is fast approaching. Which takes priority over Map 4.

Post by **Haplo** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 10:52 pm

I opened this up to work on it... but then I decided split Almalexia from Map 3 instead. So I have 3 detailing claims left to split and then I can wrap this 1 or 2 interior-housing claim up.

Post by **Haplo** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 2:31 am

Hell yeah I love these cells. Updated post above. Picture posted below of one cell that's almost done (needs like 5 more statics or something, not sure yet). The cell with the two secret features has been changed. Secret feature #1 is now hanging down, about to fall into secret feature #2.

Nemon · Post by **Nemon** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 9:22 am

Curiosity; what values do you use when vertex shading?

Post by **Haplo** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 1:37 am

I don't use specific values, I always choose the color specifically from the palette. Usually the lower end of the light/dark color scale on the side of the palette for browns and greens though. The Brown I'm currently using is

R: 107
G: 80
B: 61

Whereas a nice dark green would be...

R: 96
G: 158
B: 84

Sorry I can't help with the specific values, why do you ask?

EDIT - and I might ask a favor of you as well:
Could you check my latest file, go to cell (-28,-6), and see if you have any ideas on how to close off that big exterior cavern? I've been forced to really use the same two pieces over and over again rotated different ways, but I'd rather not finish it that way, and I think I'm going to have trouble closing it off from the inside. Hopefully you might have an insightful suggestion or two.
