If I could find a map with all map locations named, I could go in and scout the most strategic locations for rebuilt forts, perhaps... Does anyone know of a map with all of the locations shown and revealed, and named?

The only thing I didn't go for about the layout of your fort, Cyonarxes, was the roofing area.
I pondered last night and today on what you have said, and have come to the conclusion that you are correct, the roofed towers should be replaced.

ok i understand thats probaly a better way of doing this than doing random updates. cyronarxes could you plaeas post a link to you fort nikel mod please im interested in looking in to how you went about recreating it from the ruin tile set (thats what i imagine you used)
It is not a mod thus far. I still have some work to accomplish on the outer sanctum (outer walls, barracks, stables, guard towers, ect). I also need to work on the prison. Once I update the images, you should be able to understand what I am striving for. Chow

I like walls, battlements, towers and a central keep in the middle. Trapdoors so you can get onto the walls, barracks, the whole nine yards.
The Colovian Forts will have that too. As I said, I have not completed the outer sanctum for Fort Nikel yet. When completed, you will be able to acomplish alll said things in your quote.

cyronarxes,
I just wanted to say I looked through your album on photobucket, very nice work.
:thanks:. Unfortunayly, I have not been able to update my album yet. Much has been changed or added.
:D :thanks:I agree. He's an awesome modder and I'd definately love to have him on the team.I have Two ideas that I wish to share. I believe it would be a fine idea if you commit a crime in the wilderness or in a small town, the legion patrols would arrest you but rather than taking you back to the city, you would be jailed in a fort which has jurisdiction in the said area. For example, If I attacked a citizen in Weye but was sent to prison, I would spend my sentence in fort Nikel as that is the nearest Imperial garrison. Also, when recruiting help for Bruma, Senator Ocata refuses to send any legionaries. Of course, we could give the player the chance to receive additional help by helping certain forts which are under siege by oblivion gates. Once a fort is reieved, the garrison commander will consider dispatching a few of his/her men to relieve Bruma.

As I told you in the personal message, we should stay with the Colovian Style forts. I also believe that creating new forts is a bad idea. We want this mod to be as least conflicting with the world of oblivion as possible. I also mapped those areas by which you designated on the map and they already have locations (oblivion gates, caves, aylied ruins, ect) on them. Bethesda made a thorough job placing locations throughout Cyrodil. This leaves very little free space. Also, the ruined forts which we will be rebuilding already are in certain strategic locations. Fort Nikel and Fort Ash are prime examples. Finally, adding morrowind style forts will be lore abrasive to the series as
certain texts such as the "A Brief History of the Empire" highlight that many of the forts of the land were Colovian in Style. Also, the main reason why the forts in morrowind werre similiar to that of fortified towns was in part due to semi isolation. Vvardefell was a very rugged and impaasble land. Often, the forts would have to make due on their own for months without suppplies because f the heavy ash storms and the blight. In addition, theses forts were designed to repel raiding and querulous ashlanders as well as to supervise over ashlander tribes. The forts of Cyrodil are designed for other purposes. In any case, I do not believe that we should have morrowind style forts. The again, that is IMAO :biggrin:. :thanks: for your time.

Seems like it would make more sense to use castle-meshes instead of dungeon-ones.
There are more fort meshes than the dungeon meshes. Castle meshes already exist.
-
The main problem with rebuilding the older forts is that they are mostly below ground. The Imperial Legion forts streach into the sky; they had cellars, but for provisions.
Actually, those are but the dungeons, storage areas, ect which we see. In rebuilding the forts, we would have many of the rooms in the main tower and in buildings surrounding the tower. With Fort Nikel, I have completed everything (exterior/interior) in the main tower. I am now reacreating the outer walls. here is a sample of what I did to the main tower. Fort Nikel

I really would like to get started doing this, even though, like I said, I can't do anything besides give ideas and brainstorm.
I'm afraid to say that if that is all you are experienced at, you won't be of much use for your proposed project. Every project was in part due to the contribution of the whole team with each member knowing at least laymans knowledge of the construction set and various other utilities. If you wish to be taken seriously or even promote the chances of you project enduring into a full fledged mod, it is vital that you ascertain knowledge with the various utilities. Such utilities you must know how to use are
TES 4 construction set tutorial
Knowledge of the tes construction set is mandatory and I highly advise that should you consider taking on this project that you learn how to use it. Nifskope and Blender are optional but are still valuable assets. Nifskope is important as it is "a graphical program that allows you to open NIF files, view their contents, edit them, and write them back out again. You can use it to quickly make changes to specific properties of a NIF file such as changing the texture, adding translucency, and more. A 3D view of the contents of the NIF file allows you to preview your changes instantly".-elder scrolls wiki
Blender is a 3d program where you can create you own 3d meshes. I know this is all very complicated but such is the price in endeavoring on such a project. If you need any additional advice or help, personal message me. :thanks: for your time. Chow.

cryonarxes, thank you for this insightfull post, now theres 2 people trying to stop them fighting and just work on his godd@mn mod.
Rage feeds upon rage which in turn leads to a endless cycle of anarchy, mistrust, and calumny. Such a mod as this I truly desire to manifest itself into a reality. Alas such hope are splinntered by such evils. If you truly desire to know the true reason as to why projects die, it is in part to division. All projects can be revived when there is strong unity. Disunity only leads to destruction.

Ninja, dude, just leave.
Regardless of whether Ninja_Lord666 is a Instigater of anarchy or Purveyor of truth ignore him. To give attention to what troubles oneself is to recognize and feed the aspect of which you abhor. All that Ninja_lord666 is are but words, not actions. Words only harm those who allow themselves to be harmed by them. You are in your vitriolic rage overreacticing on words by which you can simply ignore. Ninja_Lord666 is not simply going to morph himself through your screen and attack you. Besides, by exerting such petulant rage, you are killing precious time which can be spent organizing your mod. My advice is ignore Ninja_lord66 if you object to what he says. Rather concentrate on organizing and planning your mod. No good will come through from senseless rage and drivel. Have a day and :thanks: for your time :thumbsup:.

I recall hearing of a mod recently released where you could unequip your shield by putting it on your back. I never was able to to see the name of the mod, however, it is begining to take my fancy. Could one of you please find this mod. I do know it was uploaded on tes Nexus so i guess that will help somewhat. Good luck and thank you.

I would say a video for deadly reflexes 3.0 but that has been really hackneyed to death on youtbe. My suggestions on videos would be
. Community Dungeon Project
. Unuiqe landscapes
. real swords
. AWS
. MTAEVWD
All these mods enhace the graphical beuty of oblivion and make you mavel at the landscape. I hope that helps

Gothic 1 and 2 without a doubt was two of the finest games to exist. Those two games are classics. They were and still are a masterpeice of art to me. However do not judge the gothic series on gothic 3., that was a monstrosity and disgrace to the gothic series

Query optimisations
Optimised the code that displayed the comments in the file and image share areas. Reduced the number of SQL queries by ... a lot. Load times should decrease as a result.
Thank you, Thank you so very much! ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D. now i no longer have to download from the file mirrors or if downloading from tes source having to wait 50 minutes. Thanks again as now my mod hunting on tes source will go much faster 8). On another note, im sure this will make uploading files mch more efficient which is by the way in time for when i release my mod. Thanks again.

Deal with your delusional assumptions or simply leave, those are your two options. There is no third "whine about things until I get my way" option. Continuing to whine about the things you don't like is only going to get you removed forcefully, at which point you will not even be able to download files from the site.
We've been more than patient with you. Now is the time for you to decide.
:ohmy: So exactly what am I allowed to do and not allowed to do. I read the tes source laws and the main things it says not to do is spam, flame, and use tes source for you own ends. I have never flamed, spamed, and only once used tes source for my own ends. What exactly do you want me to stop doing. If it is within reason, I will listen and obey and in what way am i delusional?
-
>:( funny thing is hypocrosy rules supreme on tes source. Some people will provoke and bite at others and not get in trouble while others do. often, it is sheer discrimination as most of the people who get in trounle are people new to the forum while the ones escaping are members who have been here for a while. If this keeps up, Im going to leave the forums (not totally leave it as i will still download mods but rather not post or text anymore). Also I have seen this flaming be excused as constructive criticism. I hate it when this happens but oh well.

i think the dumbing down of Oblivion was a good thing. most people who b*tch about the dumbing down of oblivion should get a life! :P its only a game! take deep breaths and count slowly backwards from 10. morowind isnt that good a game, the graphics are ok but the npcs and my character look like mangled puppets and i hated the fact that there was a npc that could look exactly like my character if i didnt use a mod. the armour in morowind was completely ugly. its reali easily to combine some pieces of armor in oblivion, chainmail steel iron blackwood and mythril work well together and you can always use clothes with armour eg the cuirass cut from db armour and black wide pants look good together too
!!! I have spoken !!!
I just saw this buddys response. You are not a fan. You are a gamer, no sir, you get a life, we like our games the way they have been for the last ten years, dont come into our house and say it sucks. You sir, are an n'wah. Or an outlander, your choce, you are no sera. hahaha, thats just morrowind humor.
Again, you amaze me with your wit and wisdom mustardman 8) . I think while this is a very hotted debate, we must not lose control of ourselves. Keep it passionate, keep it intense, but PLEASE! keep it polite. Many of us believe oblivion was too vanilla while many of us don't mind it. I think the main point we should ask ourselves is what the consequences of the dumbing down of oblivion are going to be. does it signal in a new trend on how companies are going to build games. was it as Bethesda intended or did they rush it. Yes I admit asking for a petition was moronic on my part but it is a shame to see oblivion go the way it did. Seeing how my opinions clashed with others I think we should minimalize our frustration on oblivion and what it could of done and rather we should now ask ourselves what vanilla oblivion implies to the future of gaming. where are we going?

CALM DOWN! Damn you todd howard, damn you. You pissed me off so much i want to start shoving toothpicks you f****** xbox nazi. DAMN YOU TO HELL! Sorry, Todd Howard just really pisses me off.
And YOU tell ME to calm down? You're not really aiming to be taken seriously, aren't you? Sorry, but what do you expect a member of BethSoft Company to tell people on a platform like xbox.com? That xbox sucks, they'd rather develop only for the PC community, that the modding community is the best that a gaming company and the game itself can get, and that everybody playing OB on console is a complete moron? Sorry, but everybody should be able to distinguish pure marketing chitchat from real arguments.
Why do you insist on harrasing me for stating an opinion? im not saying that he should say xbox sucks however, i don;t believe it was correct of hime to favor asystem over another. Its almost as if bethesda and other game companies are forming a "Trust" with Microsoft. They're making they're games specifically for microsoft. Microsoft is becoming a world monopoly and if left unchallenged will conquer the global electronic bussiness. I am tired of companies making deals with microsoft and endorsing they're product every where. i am not angry but rather passinate about my opinion over microsoft. However you keep subliminally harrassing me and I would kindly ask if you would stop poking at me becuase of my ideals. All in all, if you don't like xbox and play the pc or other consoles, your in trouble becuase most games these days are designed for xbox 360. A perfect example of this was oblivion in its vanilla form and as mustardman wisely pointed out again, was mostly intended for the xbox 360. I don't want games to be designed for one sytem or another but rather universally for all systems like they were in the old days ( :( Gosh I miss those happy years with my playstion, dang you Xbox 360, Dang you!). Yet your probably going to make fun of me again but this is simply my opinion.
Thanx for not calling me douche for my opinion, alotta gys cant bear the fact that the game was made for console. Its something im against as it was a pc based rpg company to begin with. Im pc all the way, but sometimes company go with the media and the masses, sorry folks, thats hgow she go's in buisness.
The problem I have was that bethesda was not only being bias against pc, they were also being bias against the playstation. I mean they never released any patches for the playstation nor did they spend the time to put any mods on the playstation. Also the specs were more designed for 360 than playstation as shown
. Can you notice how more clear and realistic it looks on the 360. I know this is going to sound crazy but I think playstation is a dying breed as well as the pc. I mean microsoft has already bought sony's launch titles such as final fantasy and devil may cry. I am scared that the 360 may overrun most of gaming in general. -

Ok guys, this should cap off the topic. Oblivion is a good game, it is. Morrowind is a Fantasmic game. (Yeah, I made it up) THats it thats all, but thats how devs learn. They put outta game they think th people will love, and hopefully they will hear the uproar in the community and see that they did please the console fanboys, congrats, its not hard. But they didnt please the passionate fans. I have oblivion on PC and XBOX, I dont suggest anybody really dis vanilla however till you've played console. There are some things, some, not many, that do beat pc. Number one, the affordability, number two, the comfortable and simpilized controls, the non buggy scripts, I have never had a bug on console, at least with my later version, baught it yesterday. And it also easier to just kick back, chill and enjoy the amazing visuals, on pc, the LOD looked like shat on vanilla, even with a top notch comp, no way around it, but on the console, its tottally beauty, a little soupy, but way better than pc. Dont ask why, thats how I see it when I compare both vanilla, thats key, no mods. Yes there are definitly mods, or just SI expansion, better than any mod. The reason console has better visuals, is simple. The game was made for console, its 100% made for the hardware in ps3's and the box. With our pc's, there too much room for erroer, be it bad configuration or low ram. Its that simple as far as graphics go, the box is better, unless you have an 8800 gtx, that will blow the box and ps3 outta the water for sure, I guarantee it. Anyways, I hate to say this you guys, but it looks like since the development of next gen console, pc's a a dieng breed.(I HATE IT) But sadly, the console are cheaper, easier to make for the public as far as compatibility, and lets face it, they are becoming amazingly powerful. I am a PC owner, and love them over any console, but you can call me a double face gamer, I love both.
It is a sad truth. see my topic decline of PC gaming.

And I didn't see Todd flaming the PC.
This is what Todd saidwhich upset me. "On the pc, you only get some of oblivion while on the xbox 360 you get oblivion in all of its glory. Everyone, buy a hd monitor, please, you get everything". Yes I know he has said worse comments but this is just an example of what he said that insulted me like as if he was putting xbox 360 gamers above pc gamers. I told her to calm down because she was dissing Mustardman about his comment on morrowind. Also why is everyone all of a suddden hating on me and mustardman for what we said!

:wacko: You dont get it do you. Yes, many companies have made bad games but what bethesda has done is unacceptable. The main thing that bethesda has done that angers me is they pressure you into doing something. They made a half ass game which is glitched. Then they release a patch which fixes it but the price is enormous. Take the v1.2.0416 patch for example. This patch fixes the shivering isles as well as oblivion. however this patch renders some mods and parts of your construction set useless. They are now trying to limit the mod community because people find the mods too sexist or too much of a overbalancer for pc users. This is unacceptable as well as for the fact that they now charge money for mods. Also if you didn't here, they're pondering on if they should put a charge fee for the construction set download. The main points of the petition would be the removal of the patch, end of the charge fees, and less bowing to public opinion to shut up the mdding community. if you find this illogical, please inform me!
I'd like to see a quote of a dev's statement or another reliable source that they want to charge money for the CS. In fact, here one of the devs clearly stated that the new CS will be released sooner or later, no word about any kind of fee. The same for your claim that they try to limit the mod community. Any proof for this besides the CS issues? Because I don't see any, and I follow discussions on different boards daily.
I also do not see why it's unacceptable to charge money for the mods they made. It's business, why should they gift you their work just because you are a socalled "fan". You could always argument about the quality of the DLC and if the community couldn't do the same much better (what they often did), but it's Beth's damned right to charge money for their products as long as there's anybody who wants to pay for it. It's just ridiculous to say "Morrowind wasn't made for the money but for passion" as mustardman did a few posts ago - Morrowind was for the money as well, and Oblivion is it's logical successor.
There's a lot on OB which I don't like, it's far from being my dreamgame. I can live with a dumbing down in the game mechanics like lesser skills and such, though it's still a pity. What has really angered me is the cutback of the complexity of the world, concerning lore, dialogues, factions, depth of characters etc. That's a real shame. On the other hand, I really do not understand how everybody can complain about the dumbing down of the game, but appreciate something like the new combat system which I think is absolutely awful. In an RPG I don't want a combat system where it depends on the _player_ if the enemy get's hit rather than on the skill of the _char_. I don't want to train a skill named "keyboard acrobatics", and this system breaks totally immersion.
But apart from this, OB imo still is much, much better than a lot of other crap recently thrown onto the market (Dungeon Lords, Gothic III, even NWN2 though I had much fun with this), from the gaming experience as well as from the technical side. I also don't like the "dumbing down" to an ActionRPG instead of a true RPG, but on the other hand I can understand why a company like Bethesda has to make such compromises in order to acquire a broader buyership.
There has been a lot of constructive criticism in this thread, but simple stupid Bethesda bashing seems to prevail...
CALM DOWN! 8). Anyways you ask for links to prove my assurtions. well here you go. This here proves bethesda bows to public opinion and they even state that they were trying to stop pornographic modding. also Povohulo wisely told me the 1.2 patch limits modding. Read his wise words here. Finally this cur, Todd howard, proclaims his product in the name of xbox 360 and repeatedly flames the pc. It almost sounds like he is part of microsoft and made the game engines design for a xbox 360. it can be read here. Damn you todd howard, damn you. You pissed me off so much i want to start shoving toothpicks you f****** xbox nazi. DAMN YOU TO HELL! Sorry, Todd Howard just really pisses me off. Now back to the subject. I believe I have given you enough links. I would give you more but I don't fell like durfing the web any longer. Now I hope you understand why I desire a petition.

>:( >:( >:( >:( I have had it. What Bethesda has done has sicken me to the core. I say all who agree with I and everyone on this post that we should commit ourselves to write a petition to Bethesda. tell your friends, family, whomever agrees with you to join the petition. Any who Agree with me say I
Umm, A petion to do what exactly? To do a better job next time? As much as I love the idea of getting up in arms for a cause, I really dont see a just reason. So you think they made a horrabel game. Name one software that hasen't. The only person you should be mad at is yourself for buying it, but on the bright side, you will know better next time.

Keep in mind that cities may also be considered posts. As such, we require litle to no forts on the border to valenwood as kvatch and skindgrad border this province and would have a good line of sight on the border. The same applies to alll cities close to a border with another province. we only need to rebuild forts if they
A)- are in strategic location such as a bridge, road, or town.
B). guards a vacant border where there are no cities nor any other form of habitation.
