Skywind Project Release [Updated 4 November 2013]

Interiors aren't as crash happy as they were before. Also try to not stare at any bottles or anything, or you may lag and ctd!

In the latest master file download the meshes in the pic have no textures that is why I have purple trees with them installed.

If I delete those nifs from the install the purple is gone.

Eloth posted about that earlier, I'm not sure if you seen his post.

Eloth,

here is the link to the first "A" interior navmesh file,could you check it out and let me know if I am doing to right.?

Mehh,

I have download and installed the link posted by eloth,but only deleting the nifs in my pic cure the purple.

Overwriting the textures with those in the file in the link does not work for me.

 

I have made this thread sticky so that it does not slide down the threads list.

 

NP about the trees,I will  use some of the skyrim swampland bushes or trees in my game anyway,unless I get the other trees sorted first.

Not sure about getting the link unto the left side of the site,but yes I can unstick the other master threads.

 

Ok,Shadow have unstuck the other master threads and edited your installation thread to point the master download to this thread.

Will look at tying to get the link onto the left side later.

 

 

The link to this thread is now in the Skywind Links/Download menu on the left side of the site page.

Hope it works ok.

 

It is your call but I would use V12.

 

Btw,I will start a thread just for navmesh updates later.

 

Since we will be editting this new master so often at first, I say go with software versioning as started by zilav. 

Maybe start with 0.4

Smaller updates can be 0.4.x?

 

• New Trees for Ascadian Isles
• Dust storms for the Ashlands\Mist in Bitter Coast

I'm excited for dust storms and new trees!!!

Maybe stick with the 0.4, its easier for new comers to know that it is WIP, alpha, beta...whatever stage it is at.

I would like to request a re-conversion of the original 187 clutter Misc items. I'am in the understanding that those files cause allot of the CTD’s. The files are to high poly and the collision meshes are to high poly as well.

Due to the fact that I can not re-convert .NIF meshes , I need someone ells to do it.
( 3DsMax has no Skyrim colision support and NifUtils are not working at all )

All files with a name starting with the following two letters [ NB.. ] need to be re-converted. These items need to be replaced in the .ESM master file as well. All [ NB.. ] files need to be replaced with the original named clutter Misc items.

The original clutter Misc items can be found in.

Original first v0.98b Morroblivion Conversion:
Meshes\Clutter\Morro\M\Misc………  .nif
Textures\Clutter\Morro\M\Misc………  .dds

or

Original TES3 game Morrowind:
Meshes\M\Misc………  .nif
Textures\M\Misc………  .dds

These files need to get fixed as fast as possible so the project will not suffer from it.

 

Edit:
I know throwing away the [ NB.. ] clutter items and textures is a waste of resources, and that replacing them with the original files is allot of work, but it is needed to clean up these bad files. I am still clueless on how or why these files where merged into the Morroblivion project to start with.

The misc item meshes will be fixed by me soon, main problem is the bottles, they will be changed with something else. It is no option to use morrowind meeshes as they look like crap

Well; at least there shape can be used for the collision meshes on the current [ NB.. ] meshes. The 3DsMax re-export script used with the NifUtils took there full model shape, and that’s bad!

Edit:
[ NB.. ] meshes are default Morrowind models with 3DsMax MeshOptimizer applied to them, making them all higher poly models. Together with model mesh = collision mesh is bad combo. The unnecessary name, model / texture path change is making it even stranger.

Can we use these?

Morrowind Style Clutter and More by The_Funktasm

Currently I have in ascending value, rusted iron, ceramic and redware, glass(green, blue, peach, yellow), iron, brass, bronze, tarnished silver, silver, gold, and limeware. Each variety has varying pieces, for example, the candelabra and dinner candlestick are not available in glass as they seem somewhat hard to make on that pattern. When I pick up modelling I'll make simpler variants to make up for this.

As this is a work in progress there are some bits I haven't gotten to yet, like those nice "decorative bowls", aka bug design pottery. There are also certain messed up maps on pieces that I'm going to wait to either make custom skins for or remap somehow.

I'm downloading now and it seems to be just textures. I guess its using skyrim meshes but could be the trick for those that can be matched up. I'm going to match them up now.

About the renaming, I have a handle on naming conventions. Use the file below for naming please :) If you use the original name that is fine, I will convert them after you have finished.

I actually posted that a long time ago, but was told it was just a bunch of re-textures and wouldn't do.

I can't wait until our PCs are powerful enough to run maxed out high-polys. I just finished watching Avatar on HD and I couldn't help but think of all the glorious meshes and textures used to produce the film. Anyway thanks eloth for looking at those. I was worried about some of the bottles, they have corks that have 800-tri alone!

How did the bottles get so screwed up anyway, was it the converters fault?

It looks great! Shadow! and very easy to read and get to the required links.:)

 

Umm, probably in about a week. I could get it done sooner but I've got the break over xmas  and won't get much time on it. But I am spending all my spare time on it. I've been using Qarl's Oblivion texture pack as well. Yes I'm moving the Oblivion textures as well. The reason being that I think for the Morrowind look that these will be altered over time. A stonewall in Cyrodiil doesn't look quite the same as in Morrowind. I've already done this for some of the buildings myself.

For future proofing I have a spreadsheet that has all the old names compared with the news ones. This will be made public so that anybody can reference it quickly.

This is good when people release resources and we can check them to see if the would make a good alternative. I guess people are still doing Oblivion texture overhauls? Not sure?

The Skywind exchanger is pretty sweet btw :)

Oh yeah the other thing is that somebody has already applied some of Qarls textures as the default morro ones. So check out the "textures\morro\x\stonewall01.dds" and Qarls "textures\architecture\stonewall\stonewall01.dds".

I don't really know the extent of what has been changed from default Oblivion and Morrowind textures, but after I have finished the conversion, I'm going to start getting a handle on where textures have come from. The naming of the files are usually a give away.

For the reasons for being able to make the whole project as legit as possible and also knowing where easy improvements can be made.

I really pray u to discuss about transfer of meshes and textures in http://morroblivion.com/forums/skywind/skywind-development/3083.

This is help us to avoid confusion))

About classes of records.

This records (http://www.mediafire.com/?qhzlrv3yq6fjvz3) must transfer into TREE.

This records (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8sKk_sXMsXUaXh2Ry1zLTU5WDQ) must transfer into SCRL.

P.S. I will update meshes and textures archive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow)

Trying not too discuss texture stuff in here, but quickly about useless textures, as part of the restructure there is a clean up of unused textures and also duplicates. Can't give numbers right now, but its significant.

Iv never dealt with this problem before but i cant download the files from Google. It say no preview available, I click download and it says Sorry, we are unable to scan this file for viruses. Than there a link below that i click it and it say on the tab Google docs i don't know what the problem is.

LEGIT APP SHADOW, thank you man! It makes things a lot more convenient.

Thanks! Shadow! ,cool work on the first post,and that big texture file [1.3GB] downloaded for me in 1 minute from google.:)

 

In the future we'll probably have the installer copy your Morrowind sound folder to your Skyrim data folder and make any names changes required. We actually had a near 2 hour discussion on whether or not we should post the sound file. We don't wanna piss off a certain company now =p Just for the record, I still think posting it is not a good idea.

Congrats on the release, it scared the hell out of me when something named slaughterfish on the radar ran out of the water and bit me :)

Ps. Can't figure out how to see an ashstorm >< Someone knows it's ID?

So can we safely delete the previous skywind meshes/textures?

well I would rather wait a bit, there are some missing textures. I found the same as in this post http://morroblivion.com/forums/skywind/skywind-mod-releases/3086#comment-24913 + in seyda neen houses miss some wood textures

+ people sit like one meter higher then the furniture is, music played only when I discovered something (I don't know how it's supposed to work so it's maybe ok)and rock in seyda neen where is high watch (that wooden structure with chair and one guy sitting on it), you can go through that rock and you cant go up to the people

this is no criticism, you are doing great job, I'm just trying to report bugs.

Also there is a lot of skeevers around now

there is the rock + missing wood textures

 

its good wish the npc were done and the mobs but the land looks good i mising a wood structuur on the boot u start whit  doors wont open in the dungeuns  and saw endless droping candels

frozen skeevers are just mobs that need to be replaced 

also on that u should chek the monster mod that got a few monsters u need ore can use 

ceep up the good work 

I know that about skeevers that was just joke

Mehh, the music files could be named out in a readme file, there aren't that many files to rename. That way users would simply copy them from their installation to skywind. that or a seperate .bat file that renames them, grabs them from the morrowind directory and puts them into the skywind directory.

Your team is going to have to do something similar or just have them point to the locations inside the esm file anyway for when skyblivion releases. I don't think anyone would want the beloved lucien lachance to be unvoiced in skyblivion.

Well for one thing, Skyrim doesn't read .mp3s, so they would have to convert them to .wma. Also we weren't just talking about the songs, we were talking about the voice overs and sound effects, some of the sound effects in your Morrowind sound effect folder has spaces and underscores, which need to be changed in order to work with Skywind. Plus this is about future proofing in a way, so we gotta figure out how to handle the Skyblivion voice overs, because I just don't think it's a good idea to host Oblivion's voice over bsa.

Music should play fine, but when you discover something, the music is going to lower. The music lowers because Machine and Digital are trying to figure out a correct script to allow the morrowind explore/battle/level up music to only play in Morrowind, and not in Skyrim. My suggestion is to just open the console and hit tmm 1, that should allow you to discover every town and dungeon. As for the rock, it's mission collision, I'm quite sure Eloth knows about that. The Skeevers named Slaughterfish will be fixed soon, I'm sure.

Well we have a thread where you can volunteer to help make the npcs. As for them being naked, well we're still waiting on Alex to make the placeholder clothing. The doors will have to be looked at, and the endless dropping candles will probably be fixed with a TES5edit script, they drop because they're upside down.

that black planks which are part of roof frame are missing textures (they are black, I know normally it look different when missing texture, but even CK shows some missing plank wood textures, and these houses look strange with that black roof parts and I think they were ok before.
