I have been using the UESP map as a reference, and now I'm kind of dreading checking what I've done so far against it and having to redo a bunch of stuff. I hope you guys haven't moved a lot of mountains, because I've drawn enough of them to get hand cramps for life--though I've only just started working my way down from the east, and haven't drawn in much yet from the maps not released. Yeah, got some good news. The UESP map has been updated (landscape mostly). The bad news is that I keep making the Gridmap by MK I Eyeball and MK II Construction Set, so I keep finding these little plantations and manors all over the goddamn place. It keeps getting updated.

Slightly relevant to TR, but what were pre-TR landscape mods like? Mainly thinking of Silgrad Tower and Wizard Islands or whatever that was. I actually had the former in my load order at one point, but when I started modding, it was too much for my computer and Morrowind ran at like 8 FPS with 5 minute load times in Balmora. By the time I got a new one, I accepted that TR would eventually get to that region and didn't bother with it.

The mod exists, just only as a brown landscape plugin on two individual PCs and as a "dummy" province mod to coordinate lore and Tamriel_Data assets. Maybe we'll turn that into a real thing when TR and PT are done and retirement is boring. Almalexia is still pending redoing. . Atrayonis fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Mar 14, 2017 |

I know Vvardenfell by itself is less than 10 mi2, Skyrim is ~15, Oblivion is ~20, and Daggerfall is ~60 thousand.

is Skyrim really smaller than Oblivion? Huh. That's what happens when you actually design landscape as opposed to using a generator I guess

To me skyrim does feel incredibly small. I actually did a walk to unlock a few waypoints around the map near the beginning last time i played. the big cities for each region, it was an amazingly brief experience. the tutorial feels longer than a walk from whiterun to anywhere else. Another part is bullshit like being made to climb a mountain that pads out the world if you follow the main story or any of the 'big' questlines like the guilds and brotherhood.

Oblivion felt much smaller because you could see the Imperial city from about a third of the entire map. It's kind of neat from a 'oh I guess White-Gold Tower's a really handy thing I bet people actually living here would be able to navigate with,' but really terrible in an actual game you want to create the illusion of large spaces with. Morrowind suffers from this a bit with Red Mountain when you have distant land too. WhiskeyWhiskers fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Mar 14, 2017 |

You actually can see the High Hrothgar monastery from a good portion of Skyrim, it's just that it's a very unobtrusive structure.

I don't mind seeing Red Mountain from everywhere because the island is a volcano and Death Mountain itself is actually a hostile, sprawling and hazardous area. White Gold Tower is just a giant empty static that doesn't even have a roof and contains one small conference room with some wooden chairs, and seeing it from everywhere is just a reminder of that. I think in a broader sense there's a difference in how it feels, between being able to see your ultimate goal/focus as a reminder and just being able to see a kind of lovely model of the main town in the game that you go back to all the time anyway. it's kind of like the new Zelda where you can see Hyrule Castle from pretty much anywhere but it's clearly a horrible place surrounded by evil fog, and you can see Death Mountain from anywhere but going near it results in you bursting into flames. Seeing them taunts you and makes you want to explore the rest of the world, prepare and get stronger

So I installed Chocolate Pack, and I really just want to play with everything it recommends, but one mod has enforced entrance requirements for the guilds, which means my Dunmer battlemage is too weak in both magic and combat to join either guild, which I think is going to make it harder to advance. I'm okay with not immediately becoming an OP god king but the guilds provide a lot of early XP and a place to sleep at night. What do?

Hmm, distant land but not distant statics yet. Still, that's one more step towards parity with modded vanilla, and better performance on top is the frosting on the cake. OpenMW should not release until MWSE functionality, at least, is present.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:I don't think you know what 1.0 means 1.0 means feature parity with vanilla. My point is that I'd still pick vanilla Morrowind over OpenMW until MWSE, at least, is integrated. Unless they've changed it, of course. Granted, it will probably take a few weeks at most to get MWSE.

MWSE exists and there are tons of mods that use it, so if OpenMW wants people who use these mods to make the move from vanilla to OpenMW, they'll have to support MWSE's scripting functions.

Both arguments are accurate. You can probably just provide an interface for MWSE commands and under the hood handle it in a much more efficient way. Still not as good as writing an OpenMW native solution but better than Morrowind and backwards compatible.

I wonder how hard it will be to make a new item type in OpenMW. The fact that flowers etc. weren't their own type like in Oblivion was one of the things that was holding me back from making an autoharvest mod. That and a lack of scripting knowhow.

Is it planned that openCS will be a much more powerful/low level tool than the original construction set? Being able to edit and add new spell effects and damage types would be sweet.

I know about Graphic Herbalism and use it. I meant something that harvests every alchemy ingredient within a certain range like the Nehrim mod, The Holy Hand Scythe of Antioch. Come to think of it, I was just attempting to port that. I was attempting to have an item with a script to activate every alchemy container within range and let Graphic Herbalism take care of the rest. I failed to activate even one container however and gave up.

Rot is currently working on integrating the Telvanni factions (Mainland/Vvardenfell). This is a bit difficult since the Mainland Telvanni are already a mess (like Dral, he shouldn't be around anymore). WIP file is here if anyone wants to test/feed back feedback.
