Creating external Cells

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Quick question:

 

Sorry I don't know if this is me being a bit thick, I can't for the life of me find any tutorials on how to go about creating external cells to make new exterior worldspace. Does anyone know where I can find any I've hit a brick wall?

 

I'm guessing it's similar to creating an interior cell but is there a height map you can use to generate mass amounts of landscape or do I have to painfully and tediously place pieces of landscape together? Hence why I never really see any new exterior worldspace mods?

Heightmap editor is broken, and Bethesda won't fix it. It's said to be possible to import heightmaps, but it's hacky and will only work if you have Vista/7 (One of the programs, OSCape only works on Vista/7) There's a large thread about it on Bethesda's forums.

 

As for worldspaces...

 

World -> Worldspaces -> Right-click -> New

 

The rest is easy.

People forget that the landscape editor can do almost anything that the heightmap editor can. It is not as fast, but it is much more precise, and if you use the heightmap editor, you are going to need to go touch things up with the landscape editor anyway, so there is no escape from the landscape editor. You can turn the settings of the landscape editor way up and build mountains and valleys if you wish. Edited by David Brasher

good job really as I made a heightmap, clicked ok and it crashed to desktop :biggrin:

 

Is it me or is this construction kit a little bit cack? Been using the Cryengine 3 recently and it blows my mind, this constuction kit just blows from what I've had a look at so far. Everything seems like such a chore whilst the Cryengine is so streamlined and great for instant results, especially when it comes to world editing, in 5 minutes I've made a giant landscape range with textures, vegetation, AI and vehicles and I'm instantly in the game with a quick click of ctrl+g.

 

Sorry not trying to flame or endorse other engines, just needed to vent some frustration for a minute there, I'll give the landscape editor a go, hopefully that will restore some faith :smile:

 

EDIT: Nice mods there by the way David, some impressive stuff I've just had a look through a few of your Oblivion mods. Gave me a bit of hope that it is possible to make some quality stuff with the kit. Cheers for the advice.
