Suran Reborn

[Marxist ßastard]

Since Suran Reborn hasn't been given a very proper introduction, I guess this is the best place to do so -- the original text from the thread in the official forums follows:

 

...Suran Reborn is a Morrowind plugin with the goal of expanding upon the town of Suran and adding a variety of new dialog and miscellaneous quests along with vast dungeons reminiscent of Bethesda Softworks' Tribunal and an epic, nonlinear main quest accommodating to both combat- and stealth-oriented characters.

 

Interior Guy

 

As the plugin grows, this role will become much more important and distributed -- acceptance as an Interior Guy early on means that you will have a good shot at becoming Lead Interior Guy later on, giving you jurisdiction over a powerful part of this plugin.

 

An Interior Guy should be good at interior design and manufacture; one should also be able to make a suitable committment to the plugin (As this is a very important and permanent position) and would ideally hold the belief that every place should have a story to tell.

 

Reference Data Coordinator

 

This member's duty is to keep up-to-date versions of the plugins to the Suran Reborn master file that facilitate varying degrees of detail in the Suran exterior cells, and can choose to keep the plugins up-to-date while Suran Reborn is in active development or be summoned only before a major release to create the varying degrees of detail. Subordinates can be appointed, and, because the choice of work style is entirely up to you, so is the committment necessary.

 

Three files will be under the control of this role:

 

#SR - Medium Detail Exterior Reference Data

 

This is the file that is one step down from "#SR - High Detail Exterior Reference Data" in terms of detail and reference count (And, by consequence, one step higher in terms of soeed). The high detail file is managed by the developers. As an example, a collection of pilings, a torch, and three lanterns with hooks would be changed to a single piling with three lanterns and their associated hooks.

 

#SR - Low Detail Exterior Reference Data

 

This is another step down from the highest-detail file. Still using the previous example, this file would include only a simple pole with two lanterns.

 

#SR - Minimal Exterior Reference Data

 

This is the most "optimized" version of the exterior reference data plugins, and therefore contains the least detail and reference counts. Using the previous example, everything would be replaced by an ambient light, tikitorch, or a pole with a single lantern and hook.

 

Landscape Finalizer - Temporary Position

 

This member must be short-lived and proficient in flora placement and landscaping. You will be responsible for smoothing out the landscape maps, preparing the contents of each planter, and providing suggestions that will help the static object and path grid systems work better with the new landscape. The position will terminate once the exterior cells are more-or-less finalized before the preview release of the mod.
