<studiously ignores all spam in thread to say>

 

Well I have made 11 elder scrolls wall hangings (they are supposed to hang in the air) ->

 

I have also created blueprints which says what each one is.

 

Still working on the flags...

 

TR

Get me one with the symbol of CHIM on it and we're talking business

 

As for me, I'm slightly hitting my computer with a brick. Getting on a new computer is hell for making custom content, but the content I'm hoping of is going to be hell for everyone else.

 

(the one, the only Cliff Racers, of course)

 

Other good ideas are of course everyone's favourite hermaphroditic god, Vivec, or the other two parts of Almsivi. Failing that, any Daedric lord would be good, like the Gentleman with a Cane, the Madgod, Sheogorath

@Mecheon So I went looking for Chim on google images. Nothing really there that was usable. However one thing I found had me ROFL. Look Here. Someone has nearly as warped a sense of humour as me.

They might mean just the lettering in the Daedric Alphabet. Literally writing CHIM. The elder scrolls uses a simple letter-for-letter translation when reading the 'Daedric' language. You can see an example here. 

 

Daedric Alphabet

 

You can also download Daedric as a font to use. The link above explains how to use the language.

 

Daedric Font

 

There are several of these easy to translate languages once you know which symbols mean which letters. Here's a few more examples if you guys want them.

 

Magic Script

Falmer (Snow Elf)

Elder Scroll Script

Dwemer (Dwarven)

Dragon

A pile of tripe in the likeness of a tripesome pile has manifested itself upon me unexpectedly. Thus I have to go and deal with it and jump up and down on it and tip a bucket of bricks on it. Don't know how long it'll take but it'll likely significantly erode the amount of time available for doing Elder Scrolls things this month, rather irritatingly.

So, I'll make NO promises regarding Almalexia, but if I DO get time, I'll creep up on her with a small, easily concealed brick.

 

Meanwhile, the Shivering Isles type Mushroom Tree is done.

Three things must ye know of ye PHoD Mushroom Tree... One, it be very big. Two... um... Actually, that's about it really. It's big. And weird. Don't forget about it being weird... and singularly troublesome to clearly show in screenshots.

And, yes, you CAN walk underneath those huge, arched root things so you can place these whopping fungal honkers across roads and so forth without bringing everyone to a complete halt. The walkmesh just covers the more or less vertical root ends that come down to the ground so that you can run into them and bounce off in amusing ways.

PS:- The Aureal and Mazken are still calling each other names...

I have done an additional 14 things to go on the walls, making 25 in total now. These are the other 14 ->

 

ES%20Banners%20Test_0001.gif

 

I have a small number of icons and (non-wall) placeables to do next. After that I'll probably need some help. I've got images of stained glass windows - 1 for each of the 9 but don't really know how to make them more window like. Also, I have a further problem with the flags. As textures for NwN have to have dimensions that are powers of 2 I have added transparent areas (above & below) to the flag images. I then did an uvw unwrap/edit in the model to make the image fit properly. When I try to export I get three sanity check errors and the only thing that is exported is the Aurorabase. Now I know that the problem is all down to me because when I import the unmodified model and try to export that, I get the same results. I am just glad that I saved my work in a *.gmax file. Cest la vie. If anyone wants to look and try to get me a working flag model I have put an archive containing the relevant files on dropbox here. Thanks for any help.

I suspect the sanity check errors are due to the way gmax deals with emitters, since I had the same issue when trying to export from gmax (both with the original flag and the edited version). Neverblender wouldn't even import the original flag, and although an older version would, when placed in game the emitters would constantly be firing, spraying dust and chunks of wood everywhere. In the end I just ended up modifying the mdl file with a text editor to get the 16:9 version of the flag. Maybe Lisa was using 3ds Max, or a different export script.

 

Regardless, (unless I'm missing something) it's possible to get the effect you want from the file I sent you. Just use Photoshop/Gimp/whatever to stretch your 16:9 image to the full size of the texture. It'll look stretched on the tga/dds file sure, but since the UV map is applied to a 16:9 flag it'll stretch back the other way and display normally in game. As below (using the example flag you posted earlier in the thread):

 

y7dECvE.jpg

 

If you want to do more, just copy the mdl file and open it with a text editor. You can change the name to whatever you want, and change the line that says 'bitmap Flag31' to replace 'Flag31' with whatever your texture file is called.

 

Hope that helps!

@GunnersaurusRex Thanks I'll try that (You mean I'm not a total wombat? :whistle: ).

 

I have the 5 non-wall placeables and matching item icons done now ->

 

5%20Placeables.gif

 

I'll see about adding a script or two so that they act as single items in game (i.e. placeable x = item x - think micromaps without the vfx). Then onto the maps maybe.

 

Ooops! I meant flags in that last sentence not maps.

Daedric_Crescent.jpg

 

Daedric Crescent Blade"; Two versions, based on the Morrowind version. recreated and added as two-bladed sword models....

 

Daedric_Crescent01.jpg

 

Probably the most rare and even outlawed item of all the great prizes is the Daedric Crescent Blade. The Blade was used by Mehrunes Dagon's Daedric forces in the capture of the Imperial Battlespire. These extremely unique Blades were gathered up and destroyed after the Battlespire was recaptured by the Empire. All but one it seems. Though the Empire believes them all to be destroyed, it is rumored that one still remains in existence, somewhere in Tamriel, though none have ever seen it. The Blade lends it's wielder the ability to do great damage on an enemy and allows him to paralyze and put heavy wear on his enemy's armor. Quite the prize for any mighty warrior, if it does indeed exist.

@Shadowing2029, Is it the picture or is the aspect ratio of nearly all the banners, off? If so it is easy enough (just a pain in the donkey(danged nanny software)) to fix, just widen the model.

The scripts are finished and working now (see my previous post). So what do they do? I'll show you ->

 

ESB_Test_00.gif

 

Watch the placeables on the floor and the inventory panel.

 

ESB_Test_01.gif

 

When you "use" one of the placeables the Pc does an scrabbles on the floor, the corresponding item is placed in the PC's inventory

 

ESB_Test_02.gif

 

And the placeable is removed. This emulates picking the item up and putting it in your inventory.

 

ESB_Test_03.gif

 

Already picked up 3 and going for a fourth.

 

ESB_Test_04.gif

 

As the placeable fades a new item appears in the inventory.

 

ESB_Test_05.gif

 

Done. Just one to go.

 

ESB_Test_06.gif

 

Got the lot, so what now?

 

ESB_Test_07.gif

 

I know let's drop them again. Just stand where you want it to be dropped and drop...

 

ESB_Test_08.gif

 

Let the PC fiddle about...

 

ESB_Test_09.gif

 

Voila! Dropped. Now repeat for the other four and you get...

 

ESB_Test_13.gif

 

An empty inventory and five placeables back on the floor. You can repeat this ad-infinitum.

 

The thing is the scripting (apart from a little hiccough - see scripting forum) is quite simple to achieve this. One thing is that while I could have combined all the small scripts into one, I have left them separate in case anyone who wants to use say just of of the placeable/item combos doesn't need all the rest of the scripts to do so.

OK, I've now got around to doing the flags. There are 17 of them. They are based on Lisa's Standards with a modified model by GunnersaurusRex to my specifications. There are 17 placeable flags...

 

ES%20Flags%200.gif

 

and 17 holdable item flags...

 

ES%20Flags%201.gif

 

Not being satisfied with that, I have written a single script to tie the placeables and items together. If you use a placeable flag it is destroyed, an identical item flag is created on the PC and then equipped to the left hand after anything that was in the left hand is unequipped. To disable this behaviour simply untick the usable checkbox in the flags properties.

 

Credit where credit is due. I derived the textures for 14 of these flags from the work of a single deviantArt contributor - okiir.

From an appearance standpoint only, and just as a suggestion.  Those flags are way to static and flat looking.  There are a few that look wavy etc, but most do not.  If you are up to it, you might want to consider making them with animesh verts so that they would respond to the normal wind, and vary the weights of the verts between a couple different models so that they blow around a little differently than each other, if you follow what I mean.

 

Otherwise, what you have added does add some more variety to the flags available.  Keep up the good work.

It would actually be fairly easy to accomplish, and I have a tutorial created regarding how to do it

 

AuroraFlex - some folks call it Animesh

 

It requires you to edit each individual .mdl file that you wish to give the movement to.  But you do NOT need to add that movement to every flag.  Each one you edit should likely be a slightly different weight at the bottom or top of the vertice columns that you choose to edit.  IE if you want the flag to stay straight along the top edge, but have the bottom move with the wind, you would set the top verts to 1 I think, can't quite remember which way the scaling works, but once you figure out one of them, it will be easy to adjust all of them fairly quickly.  It does require Gmax or 3dsmax to make these sorts of edits though.  Although you _might_ be able to accomplish this by using a text editor, I have never tried to accomplish this sort of edit by text editing though.

Thanks for the tutorial Bannor. Turns out it was unnecessary though. It would seem that the Bioware Rural tileset defaults to having zero wind. Turn the wind on and they flutter pleasingly.

 

ES%20Flags%202.gif

 

Catching it in a screenshot is not so easy though. Onto other matters.

 

Would someone like to make a shield with a design that I have come up with?

 

Skyrim2.gif

That is the Seal of Skyrim apparently. I got a black and white image of the shape and coloured it in. The above image is a quarter of the size (512x512) of the one I've made (1024x1024). Also the above image is on a white background whereas I have a version on a transparent background. Anyone who wants to use it for a shield just pm me, telling me what size you want it reduced to and I'll let ou have an address where you can download it from.

 

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have 9 images of stained glass windows of the nine. For those that don't know, the nine are the gods of the world of the Elder Scrolls. Anyway, here is a contact sheet of the (reduced) images.

 

nine.gif

 

The thing is I don't know how to make them look more like stained glass windows or how to model the necessary surrounding stonework. So, again, if anyone would like to try just pm me and I'll bundle these into a 7z and give you an address to download them from.
