Entropy238 posted:I'm still not quite sure what LUA is, how it makes all the new poo poo with the engine possible and why nobody thought to use it before now but it's great to see everything that's happening. Lua (Portuguese for "Moon") is a scripting language. It's been used for a long time now and is included in a ton of games. The big interest is that it makes it relatively simple to change how the game works; at least the parts of the game that are made accessible to Lua (that's where MGEXE enters play). When you have access to the original data and functions of the engine, you can override them to change how they work, add more stuff, or inversely remove stuff without leaving gaping holes. It considerably lowers the barrier to entry for code modifications; the kind of stuff that before the average person could only hope to get by begging hrnchmd to implement it in the MCP can now be done with moderate effort by anyone who has some basic knowledge of programming. No need for you to do all the reverse-engineering, disassembling, reassembling, patching, DLL-injecting, etc.

I got quickloot for MW and I don't remember where it came from.

I think it's extremely weird you could seemingly casually walk from sheogorad or azura's to tr_mainland. Like the tamriel maps were always just bullshit nerds drawing D&D maps but I always felt like the distance between vvard & the mainland would have been substantially more than vvard - soltheim also what I really wanna know is if they were originally going to do all morrowind what the gently caress would the main quest look like? What would the great house quests be like? The imperial factions would probably be mostly the same I guess. Temple would be weird.

On a worldmap of Tamriel the mainland is not much farther from any point of the coast than Solstheim is.

yeah but I mean like the distances on this map don't really seem like they'd be anywhere near enough to enforce a quarantine and don't feel particularly like V is as isolated as all the NPCs seem to claim. I guess it's cause I've walked this red gap across to vas and stuff that's up there a couple times, it really feels like part of the same landmass. Depending on like politics or some poo poo that eastern peninsula could have ended up the same district I guess, but then again there's magic gods walkin around. (yeah the markers are eye searing and show up like poo poo w/e) Solstheim is a fuckin mess to get to on foot and not worth it without magic. It seems like the green paths, especially the northeast one would be like going to Sheogorad. I mean the northeast one is basically 4 feet of water and seems like once you can get to that island you're basically in the mainland. To get all goonsay the red path to Sheogorad is a minute swim at most with crap skills, that northeast one is literally half the size at this resolution. The southeast one would suck that's borderline too much work to get across. You might be able to island hop from the Gnisis area but that's even more iffy. Not like a lore argument or anything it's just something that seems like it would feel weird. Isn't Vvard supposed to be mainly off limits because THE THREAT OF THE DEVIL SATAN DAGOTH UR~ NO BOATS MAY LAND EXCEPT CENSUS AND EXCISE I GUESS OR WHEN CAIUS GOES BACK OR SOMETHING VVARDENFEL IS A HOLY RESERVE SET ASIDE BY THE GODS WE JUST OPENED IT UP SOME RECENTLY FOR KICKS I mean sure people would probably want to try to make that jump for smuggling or whatever Ur or no Ur but  I guess I always expected the gap between Vvard and the mainland to be actually a little bigger than the gap between V and Sol, like an actual inner sea. Some of those outlying islands of what's supposedly Vvardenfel is actually closer to the mainland than not. Can you see the mainland from Ebonheart/Vivec/Branora? I figure I should nuke my install and get TR and see what it's actually like. Those could be like sweet ocean cliffs, that's not really terrain that shows up too much in the game. If I'm gonna do that I might as well do skyrim too. What's with that Taiwan kinda island in the mid-south east? It's not fully grey like outside Morrowind but it's not in line to show up any time soon?

You had to become hortator of the five houses, not just the three on the island. Ordinator armor probably wouldn't have been called "indoril armor" if House Indoril was part of the base game. Ebonheart wouldn't have been moved. I think that's it; the rest would have been largely the same, just more of it.

Idk weren't most ordinators indoril or maybe not? If not I guess they would end up with their native bonemold house set. Wonder what the dres house armor and shield would be like. Maybe chuezi would have gotten pauldrons and curiass too. On the other hand it's not like telvanni had their own curiass and shoulderpads but they did get like 4 helmets. e; poo poo were there ashlanders in the mainland those guys would probably be hard asses SniperWoreConverse fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Jan 4, 2019 |

 Lol that there's a giant goddamn ruin right outside of vivec. I mean I guess there already is in vanilla. I went to the op to see how to install TR and my eyes liquified and I wasn't able to focus for more than 2 seconds, I assume it's some sort of spell. While I wait for this effect to wear off what's a good way to just start from scratch, add TR & Skyrim, add in like Madd leveler and some of the standard Bethesda mods and go from there? Also I was thinking about that entertainer mod beth put out way back when. Would it be insanely difficult to make it so that all inns allow you to entertain? Add the keyword for entertain the patrons to all innkeepers and maybe clean up the rumors that can happen if you have musical instruments? That'd be interesting and make it worth lugging dumb poo poo like drums and lutes around. Might make a good second or third mod for a noob after like adding in tarhiel's pal guarhiel or whatever hello world mod.

Like the tamriel maps were always just bullshit nerds drawing D&D maps but I always felt like the distance between vvard & the mainland would have been substantially more than vvard - soltheim When the game was first being made the map looked like this  in an evolution of daggerfall, the boxed cells would be hand crafted, everything else would be randomly generated. They decided to go with all hand crafted, probably due to engine or scope limitations because one square is pretty drat big.Pretty soon after this they scrapped the idea of the mainland and invented a reason you couldnt go there. The 'quarantine' is a fake game reason and doesnt really exist and isnt referenced more than once I think. In TR its reference might be removed entirely? The distance to the mainland is unfortunate but based on the scale is accurate. Theres a mod to put solstheim farther in the north which is recommended. Also the peninsula in the east of TR is getting circumcised to add a bit of distance. Also dres armor is in TR already, based on concept art I think, either way it looks sweet. And ordinator armor isnt Indoril bonemold, thats a separate thing. The island in the southeast is one of the ancient akavir invasion port islands I think mbt fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Jan 4, 2019 |

Firewatch literally only exists so people can start yelling that red mountain erupted again gently caress look out!! They really blew it by not putting marshes in the inner part of great valley. That'd be a cool area because the ecology rapidly changes based on altitude and it could be strongly vertical. Put mud flats on north Vvard. I feel like if they totally just algorithm'd up that much space it would be essentially pointless to travel unless going somewhere interesting. You need to have some kinda something and a reason to go out to those big islands in the north or some of those interior zones off the road.

SniperWoreConverse posted:is a "tile" a cell? Squinting at the image, it says: "Region [5x5 landscape tiles]" "1 landscape tile = .82 km" "region = 5 landscape tiles = 4.1 km" So a tile's a half-mile on a side, four tiles makes a square mile. Each square on that grid, though, I think, is supposed to be 25 tiles. The pink outlines are for 8 tiles hand-crafted, while the red outlines indicate "all 25 tiles custom". Which means the plan was for 30 square miles of hand-crafted Red Mountain.  fake edit: I just noticed that Sadrith Forest is where Tel Uvirith ended up. real edit: How many cells wide is Vvardenfell, anyway?

Whorelord posted:and "Ruhn" means home. That's the only thing they didn't carry from TES1, where "Old Run" was just that, an Old Run, not an Old Home. They dunmerized it into Ald'ruhn and decided that ruhn meant home. They didn't do that for Whiterun in Skyrim, though. The TES1 name generator was rather repetitive, especially for all the little towns. I can believe that most cities (each province had eight main cities, for Morrowind it was Blacklight, Ebonheart, Firewatch, Kragenmoor, Mournhold, Narsis, Necrom, and Tear) were "really" named while the random name generator filled in the blanks. Notably for Morrowind, Narsis and Necrom are definitely named by humans because they don't use phonemes that are seen regularly elsewhere. Blacklight, Ebonheart, Firewatch, Mournhold, and Tear are probably human-named as they do have some sort of thematic "dark elf land" thing going on, about being broody volcano goths. Kragenmoor is definitely random-generated garbage, though. Oh, and you'll notice that "Sadrith Forest" used to be "Markgran Forest". Also it was about where Ald'ruhn is, while Old Run was about were Molag Mar is. Likewise for Skyrim. The main cities are Dawnstar, Falcreath, Riften, Solitude, Snowhawk, Whiterun, Windhelm, and Winterhold. There's definitely a thematic thing going on, at the same time you get some generic stuff like "Dawnstar". Here's a game if you hate your liver: go to https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Arena:Maps and drink each time you spot a location with "Karth-" as a prefix or "-karth" as a suffix. Special mention for "Karththor Dale" and "Karththor Heights" being on opposite sides of Morrowind. Now excuse me but I'm inspired to create the settlement of Karthkarth Moordale.
