Such a big city...OMFG!!!!!! (Oh my friendly game)

[Sudah mati ini Keparat]

This is looking brilliant so far. Just.. wow.

[Thema]

I have been very impressed with the results that have steadily and frequently come out of this team in the last few months. I would like to encourage you to keep on working hard and fast. I must admire all the concept art made by both Deeza and Lady Nerevar your drawings are superb and make your website very interesting. I love all the meshes made by your modelers especially the new architecture made by mr_siika I have always thought Bethesda made their cities incorrectly and now you have found a fix to this. Let's not forget the amazing world building done by TOYB and Deeza, congratulations.

But the reason I made an account was not to congratulate you but to help you, you see you did not properly make your in-game world map for High Rock. While making the world map you have to make it for all resolutions, which is done by making alternate sized images of the map and putting them with the same name in the menus50 and menus80 folder. Anyways basically when you run the game at a lower resolution your map looks like this:

While my fix for it looks like this:

Well anyways instead of troubling you guys by making you figure out how to fix the map yourselves I decided since I already knew how I would just fix it myself and give you the new download, which is here:

(waiting for megaupload to give me the link) :/

Epic Exploring music.

Do you guys have any plans for this dungeon http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Shadowkey:Glacier_Crawl from the mobile game Shadowkey? It was one of my most memorable experiences ever, don't know why. Anyways, I really love seeing the progress you guys have been making, good luck!

Very good music, I can also, like richardrocket009, imagine this to be a good exploring theme :tops:

Yes it will be included! Also, if you have access to Shadowkey, it would be excellent if you could post any extra lore about High Rock from the game Not many people have access to Shadowkey, so it would be a huge help!

Thanks alot! Yes were going to get around to that, but because it was a basic release it wasn't high on the priorites list, thanks alot for going ahead and doing this for us though! Cheers!

It was no problem at all, here is the download link:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0AVXO0I0

I included everything that was in your original download for the in-game map with the fix so all you would have to do is rename the rar to your liking.

BTW, I have a week off next week and was wondering how this claim system works. I could do something small and work my way up from there, do you have anything open for relative begginers?

Very good music, I can also, like richardrocket009, imagine this to be a good exploring theme :tops:

Music, for me at least, is a MAJOR part of the game...it just makes me want to explore!

Yes, that and sound fx. After I installed Cliffworms Ambiant Dungeon SFX, caves and dungeons feels much scarier. It doesn't matter that my character are 40 + and the only enemies there are rats, I`m always ready to retreat :bolt:


@TOYB
Glad to hear that Glacier Crawl will be included :clap:

[Mr. Allen]

Any progress on this spectacular mod? :drool:

[Baby K(:]

A quick comment on the roofs of the houses. I would request some kinds of roof meshes to be made, because well, running across and exploring those rooftops would be beyond awesome. The possibility for awesome thief or assassin quests are opened right up, and I can just imagine a rooftop chase sequence.... :drool:

And many medieval cities did have quite active rooftop communities. I do still like the method of housing, but some addition meshes to make roofing would be awesome.

[Logan Greenwood]

Just an update, lots of progress has been made, the first release of the resource file was sent out last week, along with the fixed Height Map, Shornhelm's exteriors are nearly completed, a start has been made on Daggerfall, and Wayrest, Jehanna and Camlorn are about 40-50% completed, along with a slew of other smaller settlements that have been started.

We also rejoined with the Beyond Cyrodiil modding team, and http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/board.php?boardid=440 (and we're in the process of bringing everything up to speed), so for more regular updates on progress check there, though this thread will still be updated and questions here will get answered.

Cheers,

Amazing.

[Matt Fletcher]

Wowee, that's really amazing Mr Siika :goodjob:

[Gaelle Courant]

Thanks everyone! I'm currently working on the far meshes, afterwards I'll either create some meshes for the castle or the temple of Kynareth.
I'll keep you posted

[Kevin S]

I'll join the applauds! Of course, I keep myself posted because I check out everything you post on Photobucket. It's always great stuff and a pleasure to watch it!

But, how the mod going? TOYB, any news?

[Alycia Leann grace]

Modding Nonophytes like myself just LOVE the work you geniuses do!

Mod is going well, I suggest checking up on our http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/board.php?boardid=440

[Nicole M]

Wow, really impressive work! Seeing projects like this makes me want to learn how to use the Construction Set and dedicate a few weeks to learning how to model. That would just play hell with my university grades :facepalm:

Are you working with Onra to make this mod compatible with the Tamriel Heightmaps?

[Sarah Evason]

Before clicking the link:

"Oh, ANOTHER "NEW LAND COME AND SEE OMG!"-mod... yay -.-

Clicking:

"Hmm, this looks sort of decent. Several years in development... well, that can't hurt"

Pictures:
"WOW"

This certainly looks promising. Out of interest, how are you planning the development/release? Will you follow the "Release when done" approach, or release it in various betas with more and more added to the game?

Also, I read the interview, and this worried me slightly:

Q: A problem many modders run into with Oblivion, is the spoken dialog. Are you going to be recording new dialog?

TOYB:
Yes we are, and not just extra lines, because we don’t want the choppiness of going back and forth from the original voice actors to the new ones for the mod, we are going to make duplicates of every race, and re-record all of the sounds needed (from battle grunts to rumours), while at the same time removing annoy things like “I saw a mudcrab today.

So you'll be re-recording the entire sound gallery of Oblivion, while also adding your own? That seems like quite a huge project to be honest =/
