stars2heaven Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Im working on a mod where I have a volcano and I would like some pools/rivers of lava flowing from it. I also have an ocean right near by, however. I was wondering if it was possible to get the two in the same world space together. I couldnt think of any instances in oblivion where this was done that I could look at, so I thought Id ask here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stars2heaven Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 never mind. New questiong though, the ocean that is supposed to be there, and actually is, disappears when i enter the cell with lava. What does it take to make it so that you can still see the ocean in the distance while keeping the lava at just the area you are in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing it has to do with water LOD but I cant find any tutorials on this particular subject. I have the lava in the cells that I want, and the normal water in the cells that I want, but when Im in one or the other ALL water looks like the water thats in the cell Im in atm.

paladicprince Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 hmmm.... Instead of doingg lava water, maybe you could recolor the waterfalls and creat statc pools of lava. After all you can't swim in it anyways. What's the plsce look like? I'd be interested in some screenshots, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stars2heaven Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Oh it just looks like a hunk of land right now. Im just trying to get some of the effects that I want before I go much further. Looks like some of what Im wanting to do just isnt possible. Which brings me to my next questiong What would it take to make it so that you could raise the water level in a particular area of a cell without raising the water level in the entire cell like you do with land? Not possible atm, I know. But it seems that this ability would be quite valuable to all of the moding community if it could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paladicprince Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 raise the water level of an exterior cell without raising the level of the cell next to it? I think it's possible, but can look pretty funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paladicprince Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah it could be useful to do that, but might be impossible at this point. :( Although with clever positioning you could put your land mass at the intersection of 4 cells. That would help, but could cause weird issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
