The Ingredients of Tamriel Project

Skyrim is not a land alone, but part of a much greater continent. From all across Tamriel, traders bring their wares; happily exchanged for coin. Not all bring weapons or treasures, many bring simple items – foodstuffs and other harvested goods. For those who practice alchemy, there may be rare treasures to be found amongst the simplest of herbs.

1. Features
In the Ingredients of Tamriel Project, you will find 216 lore-friendly alchemical ingredients, and new alchemical properties. The ingredients have been created to represent those found in the games Daggerfall, Morrowind (Inc Bloodmoon & Tribunal), The Elder Scrolls Travels series and Oblivion (inc Oblivion Mobile). Also included are some ingredients mentioned in Redguard.
Most ingredients come with new textures. At the moment, there are no new meshes. The textures have been gathered from open source images, many of them photos of real life equivalents; the ginkgo leaves texture have real ginkgo leaf photos, the chokeweed was made from photos of ‘eastern hemlock’.

Now includes new meshes!

• Ashyams, Bamboo, Hackle-lo, Marshmerrow, Stoneflower Petals and Trama Root by ChickenDownUnder!

The inital relese includes the 'modder resource' of all 200+ new textures and a file that add them to the game.

Now, if all those textures are done, then why is this a 'project'?

Well, I'm hoping that the community can help make it better. I'm far from an expert texturer. My normal maps leave something to be desired. I've left out a dozen or so ingredients as they just don't have appropriate meshes (and I can't make new ones!).

So, I'll be inviting anyone to have a go at making a better texture than one I've done. You can do as many or as few as you'd like; even one would make it 0.5% better than it is with just me... Anyone wanting to submit a mesh (say a better cactus mesh, or a mesh at all for a 'gorgon snake'), a texture, a better normal map, an improved version of an alchemical effect, or an entirely new one, can do so and I'll add it to the project and credit you with your work.

Of course, you don't have to... there are plenty of new textures in the mod as it is. But I'd like it if it became a collaborative effort; for all of us, by all of us.

Thanks!

Do you have this uploaded anywhere so we can take a look?

Awesome. Can I include this in CoSL (See my sig)?

yes please cooperate with CoSL !!! best thing would be to have all the ingredients stored in one masterfile and then use an optional esp to add them to the world....

btw AliTheLord did you ask cliffworms if you could use his "Tamriel Compendium" mod (176 books from previous ES games)...

cheers

Haven't got round to it yet, but I do plan to .

There will be an open 'modders resource' file, and that can be used for CoSL, I assume!

Can you summarise CoSL... being dim but don't 100% get what it is. Is it just a huge esm of new items?

I've not uploaded it yet as I'm still trying to get some of the new alchemical processes working. For example, I can't get Detect Life to work as a potion. Not sure why not.

Yeah, it's basically just a collection of modders resources, with an optional file that integrates them into the game. It will also feature a patcher that will, for example, allow compatilibly between different hunger/survival mods, and mods that add new foods etc.

Ok, then yes, as soon as I've sorted the alchemy effects thing and released it, you can add it to CoSL.

I've been waiting for something like this. Impressive.

Once you have it released/uploaded I'll take a look at the textures and see if I can help.

If you're keen, am happy to message you the WIP file. You can have a look at what I've done, make any you'd like to do better , and then just send me your new textures and I'll add them to the file when released.

That'd be a better way of doing it

lol, do you have a file sharing service of preference?

Nope any will do

things seems to get going ....with Meo working on new static resources and stuff like this here being released and integrated into CoSL we probably will see large mods being releasede some day...if....beth fixes this buggy creation kit....tried to finish the big glacier on Solstheim today..what a pain in the behind....

Great idea, keep up good work!

Insanity - sent you the WIP.

Got it thanks

cool. Let me know what you think.

This looks fantastic... Can I ask how the ingredients are distributed around sky rim?

They are currently just added to leveled lists. At the moment, that is all. As this is a community project, anyone who would like to create an esp that distributes them differently is more than welcome to!
