Riften Depths: A World Under a City

[AirtightSpring3]

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I have been very busy with school and have not had much time to do modding work. I contacted a voice actor for my first quest and he did the lines. They turned out amazing, and I would highly recommend metaljoemac as a voice actor for other modders. In the last week I have got the arena working with some difficulties, figured out how to convert the MP3 files to WAV and will now convert those to FUZ in order to make them smaller, and have worked some on the interior armory for the castle, trying different designs for the first three rooms.

That's good news! I'm looking forward to this mod. More underground content is always welcome! :)

Got all the quest lines into the quest and am now figuring out LIP files... Also does anyone mind if the mod requires all of the DLCs or would just requiring Dawnguard for the first release be better?

Please tell me when this is done, I would like to download it and install it :)

I really like the idea of this mod, I hope this becomes one of the best around

I have been working mostly on the armory of the castle, I am slow at interior designs because I try to pay a lot of attention to detail, so I end up redoing a lot of things if I am not liking how it is turning out. I realized yesterday that the castle will definitely need Hearthfire and Dragonbron assets to look the way I like so for the first release I have made a large player manor, which I hope will suffice for now. I am still trying to figure out LIP file generation....

Today I FINALLY figured out how to make LIP files, and to do so had to reconvert all my WAV files into Mono not Stereo WAV files. So that took a while but all the dialogue lines are now working correctly and after a I do a few more things I will be ready to start looking for many voice actors for a large amount of NPCs. So keep checking this post to find out when I need voice actors.

Sorry there have not been any updates for almost a month! I have been very busy with school and the end of the first quarter and have not had much time to mod. But I do have the arena bug-free (at least to my knowledge) and working and I added my first custom voiced merchant (A crazy skooma dealer). I'll be getting more done soon and will keep you all updated.

I recently decided I was tired of the boring and flat ground of the main town that I was restricted to by using an Interior Worldspace so I have set about making a custom worldspace. The hard part now is making a cave big enough to cover "upgraded" Riften Depths. I will work on it, and will eventually get the custom LOD done as well. I have recently began a modding team on another thread so I have a few level designers helping me get interior cells done and a composer who is helping make music for the mod. If you are interested in joining the team yourself go look at my post at: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1199467-modders-wanted-putting-together-a-team-for-my-wip-mod-riften-depths/

 

There are also some pictures of the latest on the interior worldspace version. I should be able to show some pictures of the finished worldspace in a few days. Like I said, the main thing now is making a cave large enough to cover the entire Depths

What Shops would you like to see if Riften Depths? I have five new buildings available after my recent expansion of the town.

Besides the obvious ones I'd suggest a black market like store(s). Stores that sell things which are basically illegal to obtain from vendors. You could throw it all under one person or make it more an actual market. A vendor that sells poisons , lock picks and other thief/assassin tools , a vendor that sells rare ingredients: human flesh , human hearts , daedra hearts , briar hearts and blood potions. A vendor that specializes in "forbidden" tomes like Necromancy and all the works. A fence that will buy your stolen wears and "hot" items for a price.
