@Alupinu, thanks for your kind encouragements and good luck for your mod too.

[Alupinu]

Well after receiving advice from modders and players alike plus I just finished reading the book “Homeland” by R.A. Salvatore.
 Great book by the way "Homeland" highly recommend it to anybody that has not had the chance.
 I decided to make a few changes to the courtroom, now an audience chamber and the story line. Nothing major though just instead of a judge you will be up against a drow high priestess, who will after some psycho torment will sentence you and the story continues.
I put up some more screen shots of the new and improved audience chamber for all to see. The reason I’m obsessing on this room is that this will be the blue print for the rest of my drow rooms which will be somewhere around 10 to 15 rooms of various sizes and uses. Feel free to comment if you see room for improvement.
 
@kamal, took a look at the rooms you made for PofE, nice, like what you did with the curtains. I wish I could have seen it with the hak though felt like there was a lot missing.

Alupin great job. i didnt even read the post first went right into scanning the pics, great work! I see i need to step up.

[M. Rieder]

I like the look Alupinu. You should add some techno and people swinging chemlights over their heads.

In all seriousness, it does look good.

[MokahTGS]

 I fully support the amount of pink used in these latest screen shots.

[nicethugbert]

NEAT!

[rjshae]

I had a neighbor who lived in a room like that back in college. Quite the head case. I think it needs some floating clouds of purple haze though. :-)

[nicethugbert]

Cloud patterns on the ceiling, lip stick stained.

[Alupinu]

Actually I was going for that disco club look, going to call it the Paddle Board.

Alupinu im soo lost i suck at using NW2 toolset i started trying to make an interior and it became an epic faill for me lol. Cant believe im having such a hard time!!!

[PJ156]

I lilke the lighting a lot. Perhaps I would go more with purple than pink. The reason for that is that the room has the feeling that you are veiwing it in a different or incomplete light spectrum such as you might see with Ultravision. Purple fits well with that in my mind but pink looks good too.

I also imagine a high ranking drow female to have lots of attendants and guards given the nature of drow politics.

Also agree,  i dont know why i visioned a bit a green in this room as well.

[Alupinu]

Now and for the last time here is the new and improved audience chamber. I have changed some of the colors, even added some and changed the shape of the room. plus a few other small changes like a couple more guards. And one other thing, how do you like my nicely waxed floors? You will also notice the cage above the pit. That’s where the player will be, Ha-Ha! Thanks everybody for your comments and interest.

@Omega27, I’d be happy to help you.  Just try to be specific about the problem your having and I’ll try and answer it for you. If I can’t then I’m sure there are other people who can and will.

[Omega27]

OOOOH this is nicer!!! im really liking it with the green touch to it lol

[sirchet]

This is going to be simply amazing!

And from looking at the various accomplished artists that have been commenting, it would seem the A-Team of modders is almost at your disposal.

If you have a need for an untalented but familiar with the toolset doer of mundane tasks, just ask.

Can we play it co-op?

[slowdive.fan]

That looks awesome...i'm looking forward to playing this and other mods now that I'll have more time ;-) The green and purple give it that Doofenshmirtz inc. feel, great look. I'll second the hope for MP. We need to revive Tavern of Hidden Tales so builders (and players) can play each others mods in MP because it is fun, you get feedback, learn new ideas, learn new tricks of the trade and it helps with motivation....hmmm maybe a new thread...back to the topic, this is looking great!

No sorry guys, right now I’m just concentrating on getting a good single player up and running. Though that doesn’t mean I can’t convert to a mult-player in the future if the public so demands.

 

Thanks everybody for your words of encouragement, always welcomed.

*UPDATE*
Hey everybody, just checking in to give you the latest on Fanglewood. Sense my last update I have managed to finish four more areas. Around 105 hrs of work +/- 10 hrs or about 5 hrs a day for the last 3 weeks. Most of the work has been in building the areas themselves, as most of you already know I like to build my own areas and I pride myself on a very professional looking area or as close as my skill will let me.
As they say “A picture is worth a thousand words.” so with that in mind I have supplied a few screen shots to show you what I’m talking about. Hope you like them.




This first shot is my Temple of Loth. The tile set is “Pocket Cathedral” by RWS, the spider statues are by Slowdive (Who may I add took time on his vacation to make this for me.) and the spider wall in the far back was found in Prefabs, “Drow Cave” by Botumys.
How do you like my black widow banners? Made those myself using “Beginners Guide to making your own Tapestries” by Jaesun999. Very well written btw highly recommend it.
I was hoping to find a better statue of Loth but to my surprise there just aren’t that many custom statues at the vault so I had to make do with what I had. If anybody knows where I can find a cool statue of the demi-god Loth please let me know.




This next screen shot is of a 20x18 area called The Shallows. It’s my idea of what the shallows looks like according to Dungeon & Dragons, “Underdark” and the description given by R.A. Salvatore in “Homeland”.
The bridge and purple mushrooms are once again by  Botumys “Drow Cave”.                                                    
Check out the stream under the bridge and now imagine using PDubulous, flowing water effect there. Would that look cool or what?




This last shot is of another part of The Shallows area. Look to the far back of the picture, see my custom sky dome? Gives the area that vast cavern feel. Madeit using “Custom Skydome Turtorial” by Night Stalker and photoshop. Thinking of coming out with a whole collection of skydomes for download later when I have more time, maybe after Fanglewood.

Alupinu, that looks fantastic. I especially like the bridge. Did you do the bridge custom? I dont' recall ever seeing that one.

Thanks Matt, the bridge was part of a collection of placeables “Drow Cave” by Botumys.

Again, I have to say, your area design is outstanding. Looking forward to the release. How far along in the process are you?
