stars2heaven Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ive been looking around for some mods that just add ice crystals or frozen water types of things but I havent had much luck. Im making a mod right now that is based around the ancient concept of the five basic elements fire, water, air, earth, and aether. For a icey dungeon I have planned I want to use the textures from this mod http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19621 But all it does is make the Ayleid ruins look blue, so Id like to add some ice sickles and pools of frozen water here and there to really enhance the cold atmosphere some more. If anyone happens to know where I can find something like this Id appreciate it if you let me know. If there isnt anything, then Im wondering if anyone more artistic than myself would be willing to make some things. Im thinking of mostly ice sickles. But anything icey in general would be cool. Ice sheets that can be placed on walls or on the ground, and pools of frozen water. maybe some small piles of snow. Anyone like the idea? Im sure this sort of thing could be used to enhance more than just my little dungeon. All of snowy Northern Cyrodiil for instance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgerofsouls Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Fire, air, and earth heed my call! Wait...thats not right...er...maybe it is? o_O; Anyways...what is Aether? Thats not a basic element at all, unless it is in Oblivion? And no, I have not seen any ice crystal type mods...though I never looked for them lol. But it would be interesting to see these dungeons. But yet another question that comes to mind is why would we want to delve into these dungeons, and what type of rewards would players expect from them afterwards?

paladicprince Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 :P I feel pretty assured that there'd be some reward offered. If nothing else than just to see some cool new dungeons and fight some cool new baddies. Ice... Hmmm... Making a frozen puddle of water would be easy I think, icicles would be a touch harder but not much. I haven't seen anything that adds those, but some time spent learning blender could suit your purposes fine. I'm absolutely not a modeller >.> I've made a few custom animations but that's about the extent of my skill in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stars2heaven Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 aether refers to space, for the most part. It also refers to essence, or existence. It seems to have alot of different meanings. For my purposes it means gods. As far as my mod goes, they wont really be dungeons where you go kill things like most. They will be homes to four different races. The Incendians, the Undans, the Aerians, and the Terrans who inhabit the world Terra. The first three I mentioned are engaged in a war, fighting to gain control of this small area in the center of the world space: Aetheria. The Terrans, once the dominant race, were overthrown long ago after the "Aetherians" abandoned their world. (The Aetherians are known by us as the Ayleids) They are now enslaved by the other three races, though there are a few free Terrans seeking to regain power. What you will be able to do in this world is choose sides and effect the outcome of the war in various ways. Thats all Ill say for now. Ive got the world space finished and Im starting on the first city to be built. But still, the ice would be cool and much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not much of an artist though, thats my only worry. I havent been in an art class since the fifth grade and have never attempted anything artistic since.

paladicprince Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Lol is this the same mod you wanted the lava and water together for? If you make some lava pools all you need is a retex for ice pools :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stars2heaven Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Lol is this the same mod you wanted the lava and water together for? If you make some lava pools all you need is a retex for ice pools :) same one. I was thinking of showing rivers of lava meeting actual rivers to try to represent an aspect of the war between water and fire. Yeah, I needed lava pools too lol. I can hit two birds with one stone. Ill have to learn how to do it first though, Im just starting to learn about textures and meshes right now. Havent even gotten to creating anything myself yet.
