iadamzx Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 This is my mod i am working on http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/56312/? I am going on vacation for 2 weeks and will not be able to work on it, i have a friend on here who will be able to tell you my ideas ect. if so needed... http://www.nexusmods...users/8038325/? my basic idea is to move this dungeon into a snowy area... now the reason i say dungeon is that it is no longer a playerhome, in the discussions me and others decided it would be best to serve as a dungeon quest idea. I will post the file below with the updated mod, references and notes... Quotes from disscusion to take into consideration...------------------------------ "I'm having pretty bad framerate issues with this mod. There is a lot going on next to Whiterun," " you not have to make that a player hone, you can make that place a big nothing, even if you make this place a big nothing, lore lovers will download this mod like crazy. Just be natural as you can and camouflage everything you make to the lore and the vanilla game." ". Exterior looks great but the location does not fit the castle." "Here's what I would suggest doing, so you don't have to change much of what you have above ground, Adam... Move this place away from Whiterun. Find a place up in the northern parts of Tamriel where there's snow, maybe someplace east of Windhelm. After all, this is meant to be a palace that once belonged to Snow Elves, right?I like the lighting inside the Great Hall. The floor textures, though, seem like they would match the floors you have in the Old Library/Bedroom, same with the walls. I would also look at the floors in both of these rooms because there are a lot of jittery textures.I'd remove all the loot from the display cases and relocate the piles of gold and chests to some place inside the Hive. The helmets, the armor, the weapons. These cases should probably be empty and there probably shouldn't be anything in them or on the shelves that Snow Elves would not have encountered. Seems kind of random to just have that stuff piled up in a corner. You should take a look at some of the mods here on the Nexus that add resources you can use as static clutter. All of the bookcases that have cups and stuff on them, that stuff gets blown off the shelves when you come in and out of the place. Same with books. With static clutter, you don't have to worry about that.Regarding the Hive, I think it's too pretty inside for Falmer to live in. I understand what you were going for but there should be parts of this place that look like a Falmer den. You should check the navmesh in here too. Followers did not go with me into this room. When I used the Summon Followers spell, they appeared in the center of the big room, in the middle of all the Falmer." "I would suggest getting rid of all the Falmer stuff you have on the surface. I know they are supposed to be friendly but it's just not feasible that there would be this many Falmer hanging around so close to Whiterun, especially on a main road that would be well travelled. Secondly, I would make almost the entire surface of The Eldamar rubble and ruins, except for that awesome courtyard with the fountain and the cool Hobbit door. I'm not on the fastest machine but I'm sure I won't be the only one to mention the significant framerate drop with all this stuff on the surface so close to Whiterun. I can see that you worked really hard to lay all that stuff out on the surface but I'd find a place for it inside somehow." And a little motto that was created i Heaven above hell below (beautify the top and taint the bottom in blood ) I will give you full credit for whatever work you put into this mod, feel free to do as you wish! This mod will be a collaboration instead of just mine so it'll be a team effort... im going to go and create a file with the mod (i briefly made changes to the pool area), reference images ect. for you to use, i will send you the download link shortly! if you wish to accept this mission i will be most pleased and thankful!

maxbacon Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Hey, downloaded your mod and liked the looks of it. Really like the theme! I did notice all the things that you quoted, but most of the stuff looks like easy fixes. The interior textures looked they were caused by clipping issues with the hallway pieces. The lighting was a bit dark in the back of the library, and light in the grand hall. The interior layout honestly feels a little clumsy, but I am hoping to help with that. Also someone said there was something wrong with navmeshing, and if that's true, maybe I can help with that too. I am completely novice at exterior navmeshing, but interiors are something I feel comfortable with. Also, the idea of a dungeon sounds great, may I recommend having a falmer cave or dwemer ruin that scales the inside of a mountain, and at the top is the fortress? I can definitely help with dungeon crafting. All in all, I can help with creating interior spaces, dungeons, and creating navmeshes. I will try to download the files you linked to and try to figure this out. This would be my first collaboration, and first mod I worked on that anyone gets to see. Hope I can help! Edit: Looks like I might have to make an account and give a subscription to that website where the files are at. I am not particularly comfortable with that, so if you would like my help, feel free to send them to me at [email protected]. I do realize you are supposed to be on vacation, so any time is fine. Thanks, hope to help you with this. Edited July 26, 2014 by maxbacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
