Visible from the Arena

Hi all,

 

I'm currently using WAC's overhaul which can be found here (you'll need to sign up in order to see it):- http://waalx.com/Rea....php?f=12&t=249

It's an awesome piece of work and I urge anyone who's unaware of this project to check it out. I found it completely by chance earlier this year. You can't download it from the Nexus or Planetelderscrolls as far as I know.

 

Within the WAC package there is a plug-in named Gladiators which effectively is a complete Arena overhaul. I absolutely love it and won't go back to the drab one. The only little niggle I with it is that, from the Arena Cell POV, (including the Spectators Arena Cell, etc), there's no VWD allowing you to see the IC white tower or the trees that surround the arena from the outside. I know that mods already exists that make such changes. One example is 'Arena Immersion Upgrade'. A picture of the subtle changes can be found here -

There's one small problem, they aren't compatible with 'WAC - Gladiators' because of the way 'WAC - Gladiators' changes the content and positioning of objects within the relevant cells.

So I would like to know how I can go about adding these features to the WAC - Gladiators plug-in myself. Is there some tool/utility that'll allow me to do this? I have a feeling it's probably a very simple thing to achieve. I'm just not sure how to do it. One difficult method I tried was to load WAC - Gladiators and an Arena Immersion Upgrade-type mod side by side and try and copy the VWD data and reposition it. But that is extremely hard work as you're practically working blind. If anyone could assist I would be most grateful :)

The Arena is actually an interior cell named "ChorrolArena" in the " Interiors" world space. What I think was done in the screen shot you have is to add some city walls, a tower, and trees to the interior cell. That's pretty simple to do if you know how to build a house or dungeon in the construction set. Edited by fg109

I have absolutey no idea how to build landscape in CS. I've managed to create custom races and import weapons (made by other modders) but that's about it. Ironically, I'm more well versed in TES4EDIT than I am CS. Any help on how to do this would be awesome! I would have no idea where to go in order to do this in CS and most of the tutorials I've found are quite generic and don't offer much help (or perhaps it's just my inability to apply that knowledge to my issue, who knows ;)) Edited by Initiate33

You don't really need to build landscape for this... Basically what you need to do is drag objects (trees/towers/walls) from the object window of the Construction set and drop them into the render window showing the loaded cell. Navigating the render window can be hard until you get used to it though. You can try looking at this tutorial. I also found this video tutorial but I haven't watched it so I don't know how good it is.
