myrmaad Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Before we go a-scrappin' this good idea, let's have a moment to consider designing a good companion home. You know, a few have been done for oblivion, but as far as I have seen, very few. One of them is that companion tent. I'll have to look at it again. Ty, I'm wondering about path grids, when I look in CS they always have the wireframe around the figures in the houses, and I suspect that's part of the whole design scheme. If a large cell is divided up into separate rooms separated by doors that open and close but don't load to a new cell, there would be no "Cozy-ness" or intimate feeling lost so it wouldn't feel like a huge castle to get lost in. I'm amenable to Aeryn's ideas, mine were plenty malleable. I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to add a mountain world space to nearby Anvil though, and there are so many Anvil mods that I am a bit concerned about adding another to the bay area, but! there is an oblivion gate up by the hookers' house that is on a steep hilly area, and some other wilderness areas around the Master Archer's campsite, right now that's all I can think of affecting that worldspace in vanilla, so the possibility of adding a small grotto-lake area to that space is actually enticing. Tyreil as far as gathering up resources, I have a paid rapidshare account, but I think you meant just links to the modders resources you need. And I think you may have run out of patience with this idea, and at this moment, I'm really needing to focus my energy on clothing/nifskope/blender because I don't like 90% of the options for my character. I just hate the T&A, but I want style. So, anyway this may have to go on the backburner, but I don't want to lose sight of it at all, so I would love to enlist your help when I'm ready to focus on this. It was a great idea, and lots of Aeryn's ideas are helpful, because a great companion home has to be fluid and versatile enough for any of the companion options out there. Aeryn I had no idea there were so many cool options for a custom companion. I know what you mean about all your ideas, I have soooo MANY! I keep a notebook with all the stuff in my head for oblivion, and I'm not talking about houses at all, I mean STUFF. I keep wanting to ask, but then I just keep quiet because I'm hoping I'll be able to bring the "designs" in my head to fruition. As for Cobl of course it's your choice and your taste how you play your game, but for modders, Cobl is going to become more essential I think as time goes on because it allows the integration and sharing of resources from different mods into a commonly accessed database, all working together in concert without conflict. There are features I don't use, I have enough trouble surviving without dying of thirst! Haha. Tyriel I'd still love to see your castles, do you have any up, or can I just have one you've made in the past and didn't release? I promise to be good! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreil829 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 any town in perefence? there is a problem with this if you think about it size you dont want it to big but if i dont make to big there will be problems as in Rhianana cant move around much i need to rethink the plan and get more resouses have you seen the DLC Battlehorn Castle? is that size you wanting? because untill we can find a good place what size you want and finally found a way to get the mod up and going i can suggest a mod ( you may have heard of ) but has a teleport to other houses you buy in towns to be honest i really dont have the patenice to sit here 1-10 days working on a mod that may/will get undownloaded etc etc but i will have a play for a laugh or Aeryn i could make the outside as you want and interoirs but you add what you like? Col John Sheppard Thats Ok, I thought you were serious, not realise you were playing..no harme.. no problem..I don't know how to add interiors only change textures...Tis OK..No I do not have that official DCL mod....No worries i keep up me search..Cheers i am serious Aeyrn i will get started today on the extoior its near the Chorrol city wish me luck! @myaard can you PM any ideas and resoues you have to offer? im going to need them thanks wish me luck both!

Aeryn333 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 any town in perefence? there is a problem with this if you think about it size you dont want it to big but if i dont make to big there will be problems as in Rhianana cant move around much i need to rethink the plan and get more resouses snipped..Col John Sheppard Thats Ok, I thought you were serious, not realise you were playing..no harme.. no problem..I don't know how to add interiors only change textures...Tis OK..No I do not have that official DCL mod....No worries i keep up me search..Cheers i am serious Aeyrn i will get started today on the extoior its near the Chorrol city wish me luck! @myaard can you PM any ideas and resoues you have to offer? im going to need them thanks wish me luck both! Col John Sheppard Ok...I just didn't want to bother you..Chorrol is good, waterfall, or pond near???.. here the luck of the Irish, be with ye..that will get you through.. ;) Incl tectures with it, let me know, there I can help, you know.. Myrmaad doesn't have to be Anvil that's just where she was living, and there was the pond next to the chapel, and Anvil house. just not private enough for her daily swim.. Aye Rhianna is amazing..talke a look at her.. She is deluxe as far as what she can do,she is so life like and full of personality, she will say no to you sometimes.. and the scripting in her is amazing so is her moddder Jumonji ..http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15841says she can die, but there is incl an essential esp choice also.. Good , glad you feel strong about this also.a good companion house..as we used to say about maps in UT pathed for bots, in this case pathed for companions...I just tried another house mod..Landscape one , in new files..near a waterfall..He said it was fine but not so..Terrible lag, and I have a high end machine.. and Nesska got caught, twice.. And also could not sit in a chair..she just walked into the walls..could not exit the door either...so another one bites the dust.. And Neeshka, I have her link also, the blonde photo is ealier release, the new one is the frist one called forest encounter.. with darker hair..he made..newer release..she was the one that birthed Rhianna for Jumonji and came out if her really..they are my favourite and only two best mates..they have saved my arse more times then I can count, wouldn't trade them for anything..loyal that way..http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8256 As for ideas, I have many, as I said I have changed mods, to my liking that have texture files, and have added things creative for my own use....But if I knew how to use the CS, besides the altering of races, and then some altering peoples esps to my liking.. I have many ideas..Aye lots of stuff in my head too.. As for Cobl maybe, but its not compatible with miods I have, that i do not want to give up for the sake off ones all thrown together I might not want..hopefully there will always be the option of Cobl or not to Cobl from modders, many do..All i know is I want a house , cabin syle, small, cosy, yet with amenties, or small castle, same..by a water fall, or pond, I just am fond of waterfalls tis all..but pond will do for her, but not out in the wilderness, for she likes to go into town on her free time, and chat up folks.. So lets see where it all leads, keep me apprised, as I said, textures needed altering or what not let me know..I love doing that.. Thanks to Imperial furniture,and of course me touching up game textures for lower class..like wall stains..and wood textures some..and some clothing, and other things I have done..for myself..Now what is needed is to be able to varnish wood, in a house, or paint, now that would be a neat scripting mod.. How can I share photos to you, with what I did to the waterfront house thats Neeshka house..She loves it...I like to show you?????Let me know how I can share my photos with you, of my recreated waterfront house..I'd like you to see them, tell me what you think????I have even taken those white cold looking floor stones from the furniture store..and with help of Decorating assistant, built a small cooler, powered by 3 Weylkand (sp)Stones..Its duel level,top a meat cooler, bottom level ale wine cooler..storage.. Good luck to both keep me apprised..or texture help if needed.. Cheers mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to both keep me apprised..or texture help if needed.. Cheeers mates I'd love to see your mini-mods (that's what I call mine :)) And I know what you mean about making changes to the mods. I'm wondering if the pet cat idea is something that you've seen "out there" we could use as a resource, or is that something you've imagined yourself, if there's a script like that we should have a look at it, if it isn't.. well I'm the worst at scripting so I'll be no help with that. I can peck around at the other stuff. Maybe Tyreil has some scripting genius! The easiest way to show your work is to post your screenies on one of the Hosting sites. Photobucket and Imageshack are both good but require a free account setup. Tinypic is good because you can post any picture and not have an account with them. So let's say you choose to use Tinypic. Go to their link http://www.tinypic.com/ Here's my mini-tut for that site: First, upload your image:http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c117/SeaBlossom/otherstuff/oblivion/tinypic1.jpg It will give you a message that it's uploading your image and then you'll get this screen:http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c117/SeaBlossom/otherstuff/oblivion/tinypic2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
