Here is the navmesh for Bravil's fixed interiors originally autogenerated by Cryogen, checked and edited by LostJak (thanks for all of the support man, you've been a game changer!)

As of right now, there are some minor bugs that need to be worked out regarding conversion and markers, but everything is working and stable. Leyawiin interiors should be finished in a day or two.

Hey Jack, I'm not the one to make a decision on whteher or not you may join the team, but add me on Steam! 

I do have doubts when it comes to navmeshing Region 4, as some of the team's most experienced are working on the Tamriel Regions right now. It is up to them though; as for me, I can give you some very useful navmeshing advice that you most likely are not aware of =D

Hey again! I've finally finished my claimed Area 9

I've meshed 307 cells out of 355, because there would be no more landmarks past column 49 and the autogenerator wouldn't generate walkable meshes anymore, due to the >45 degrees terrain. The .esp also needs to be cleaned at some point because of navmesh islands. I've made sure that doormarkers are connected to triangles, and have made preferred path along the mainroad + paths that lead to quest-related interiors that might have quest-NPCs coming in and out, and some other not so important interiors, but they were in the way anyway. Everyone is welcome to try it out ingame =) I was surprised to see Lydia following me just fine in dense forrests with a lot of slopes.

I'll atach an image that shows the cells I've meshed and another showing the preferred path web I've made in my area, along with the esp. Ah, and I'm claiming Area 7 for now.

The initial merge, as there shouldn't be any clashing records, should be easy, might take me a couple of days to sort it out. So maybe end of the month should be the deadline.

Great  I think I can get Area 7 done by the end of this month. So the idea is to have all the worldspaces and interiors that are uploaded til the end of June merged in this esm? I am pretty sure we can get all of the cities' interiors finished to be merged aswell, since there's only IC, Anvil and Cheydinhal interiors left to be claimed for checking and fixing.

I think I haven't expressed myself properly, because that's exactly what I meant hahahah :D You have already answered my question tho. Seems like the .esm will contain what we have til then, and that's awesome, because a lot has been done so far (specially cities, that are close to 100% in both worldspaces and interiors), and there will be even more til the end of the month. =]

Great to see all this work going towards it's first esm

Refreshing to see somebody moving and fighting back in Cyrodiil

Claim area 10 progress so far

You need to organize merging and conflict resolution of navmeshes between yourself somehow. There is no chance I will be collecting, patching conflicts and merging all those plugins myself later, I simply don't have that much time.

We're co-ordinating through Group PM's.

@zilav As Yazza said, we are handling these issues ourselves.

@Devolved You are a beast, man. I thought you were still at around 20% in Area 6. And you have already claimed another. Good job!

@Rejectedblueapp These are great news =) It's curious how both of our HDDs have fried this week. Luckily you've managed to save your work and I've managed to save mine with Tamriel Area 7. I've already checked and fixed your interiors. Just some triangle rearranging and finalizing here and there. The overall looks plain fine. I've checked the three worldspaces and they all look good too. KvatchPlaza has a small area unmeshed, but it will be quick to do it. I will fix these three later, upload your fixed .esp here and attach it on the spreadsheet when I'm done.

@Rejectedblueapp: Keep up the good work! Sucks about the HDD crash, i still remember losing so many irreplaceable WADs from a crash in 1997. Tears were shed ...

Alright, Claim Area 7 is finally done!

674 cells were meshed out of 823 'supposed' cells (as before, the unmeshed cells to the right are unmeshable due to >45 degrees terrain). I am also attaching two pics showing which cells were meshed and the preferred path web that I've made in this area, for anyone who's interested in taking a look.

I've spent the last hours path testing the whole preferred path that I've made, and I've also tested it ingame with Lydia, and it seemed pretty good. Everyone is welcome to try it out ingame, again =P

I'll be correcting Cheydinhal interiors for now.

Cheydinhal interiors are done. I've actually made a lot of them from scratch because it was faster than actually correcting the meshes.

@zilav Thanks! I've tried covering most of the quest-related interiors. The file size will be much smaller when it gets all cleaned up I believe.

@Zilav: "Oh god, 14MB for one area. Preferred pathing looks awesome"
With some decent attention to optmisation we can reduce the landscape navmeshing by about 1/3

Loading the current .esm I have made doesn't cause any issues for me at the moment whilst playing though. Opening it in the CK might be a problem in then end but we'll have to see when we come to the merge.

@Devolved Yes the raw size is the problem. I really hope they will fix memory management in CK too in their upcoming special edition of Skyrim.

@Harrock Looking good so far

Hey VirtualViper1, add me on Steam so we can see what we can get you assigned to! It's "LostJak" just like my username here.

Here are my navmeshed test cells. I hope my navmeshing skills are good enough because I'm a beginner at navmeshing. The settlement was navmeshed by hand and the cave navmesh was auto-generated and fixed. There may be some small errors in the cave navmesh because I didn't have the time to review it today. I could do that tomorrow if it is wanted. Also, I didn't test the navmeshes very long because they are just test cells. Of course I'd do that for Skyblivion cells.

I've just sent you a message on Steam, ErrorCraft!

I've finished fixing and completing Kami's work on Cheydinhal worldspace. Thanks btw, Kami. Now we have all the Cyrodiil cities worldspaces 100%.

I'll be working on Shivering Isles settlements for now.

(Edit) I've just finished checking and fixing VirtualViper1's Temple District MQ16. Ok, *now* we have all Cyrodiil cities worldspaces 100%. Yay.

Hey all!

Attached are the Cyrodiil wilderness interiors split into different catagories. Thanks to LostJak for splitting the oblivion caves into 2 different esps to make it a bit easier to handle. From what I've seen of the meshes, they are actually not too bad at all so big lists shouldn't be too intimidating!

Each rar file contains the esp, along with a .txt list of what needs doing and a png as well.

Nice job!

• I've revamped all the Imperial City worldspaces, checking for overlapping and misconnected triangles, unmeshed door/chair/bed markers or any unmeshed areas at all, tried to get more neat triangles where I could, fixed water meshes and doormarkers position, path tested and tested them ingame. Comparison pics can be seen here.
• Merged the revamped IC worldspaces so we have one esp for the Imperial City.
• Finished meshing Shivering Isles settlements, which means the only interiors of the Shivering Isles DLC left to be navmeshed are dungeons.
• Meshed the New Sheoth Palace. The whole New Sheoth city is meshed now, including all the worldspaces and interiors.
• Fixed VirtualViper1's work on IC Market District interiors, removing too small triangles and narrow paths and moving the doormarkers closer to the doors. Thanks for the work, Viper!
• Checked Tamriel Claim areas 1, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in TES5Edit. Removed all the navmesh islands. Harrock had already removed most from 1 and 8, so it was quicker with these two.
• In Area 1, fixed a little of Anvil docks area, getting the preferred pathing completed, meshing doormarkers that were unmeshed, moving them closer to doors, and improving the triangles along staircases and other important paths such as the one that leads to the Lighthouse.
• Areas 7, 8, 9 and 10 are now merged in one esp. Almost half of Tamriel worldspace is walkable by NPCs now. In this merged version, I have fixed issues with areas 8 and 10. Area 8 lacks of preferred pathing along most of the mainroad, so I've done it, and some bridges that cross the water also don't have meshes - got them meshed. Area 10 has 2 unmeshed cells along the borders with 8 - also got them meshed, and it has meshes inside and on top Leyawiin walls - got them removed. All the meshed cells contained in this esp and the preferred pathing done for Area 8 in this merge can be seen in this map.
• I did a claim areas' map for Shivering Isles a while ago, thought of getting it uploaded already. We are close to get Tamriel worldspace meshed, so when it's done, we can move on to Shivering Isles =)

I thought of merging Area 6 too, but there were too many unfinalized cells and TES5Edit would point out parts of the preferred pathing as navmesh islands because of that, so I thought it would be better to wait for Devolved or someone else to path test the mainroad before someone attempts to get it merged. The files will be on the spreadsheet.

Edit: Found some weird issues with followers going into interiors by themselves in the merged version of the Imperial City. I've reset the navmesh map in TES5Edit and it seems to have solved the problem. Thanks again for helping me out with testing all the districts ingame, Viper! If I find any other issues I'll be updating the post with the new files.

Thanks zilav! I do think we've been having some really good progress in navmeshing aswell. Cities will be 100% soon enough and then we can focus on Cyrodiil and Shivering Isles dungeons. When do you think we could have NPCs AI implemented ingame so we can see walking citizens doing their things? Maybe when the last 3 Tamriel worldspace areas are finally meshed?

I don't have experience with it, but I would really like to get started with testing the AI plugin as all these weeks navmeshing have been for this and I am sure I speak for some other active members of Skyblivion development aswell. I think we could get a hand on helping out with fixing too if instructions are given. Are dialogues included in the plugin?

@zilav Well, I can't wait to see dialogues and quests aswell! Having the AI packages already is really good.

I've finished navmeshing Area 3 of Shivering Isles worldspace. Around 330 meshed cells... I guess? Path tested the preferred path along the mainroad in CK, fixing spots where it was broken, and tested it for a while ingame. I've also removed the navmesh islands in TES5Edit. I'm uploading my work on the TES4ICImperialLegion+TES4ICImperialPalace interiors too.

Still checking and fixing Viper's work on TES4ImperialDungeon+TES4ImperialSewer for now.
