Hey guys. I really love this mod and personally can't wait for both the Skywind and Skyblivion mod, so I decided that I would love to help out. Unfortunately, I have no skills in moddeling, level design, modding etc so I was thinking of other ways to help. I have video recording and editing software on my computer so I have decided to create a bug log for the Skywind mod. My goal is to go to every major location in Skywind and record and edit some of the bugs, glitches, etc and enything that just seems out of place into a small video and post it on youtube. The first video I did was of some of the bugs and glitches I found in Balmora and Seyda Neen. You can find the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFyMWSwdXTU. This video is for any of moderators or contributors helping to create the Skywind mod and if this video and log is helping you, please comment so that I know that this is helping contribute, but if its not, then I will stop making them because then it would be a waste of time. You guys are also welcome to post any bugs, glitches etc in the comment section and I will update them to the log. Thanks!

Skywind Bug Log
Edited by: grumpycat on 03/14/2014 - 22:05
If only other people reporting bugs would make videos like this :) Your help will be much appreciated in the future, but at the moment we are very much in development. Almost every aspect of the game will change over the coming months, so detailed testing and bug reporting is not really going to be required until we get to that stage. For example, almost all the models will be replaced, and worldspace will be edited. Even nav-meshing will probably change. So although it can help with pointing out faults out at the moment, because everything will be changed again, it would all have to be done again later anyway.
So what your saying is that I should wait to do this when the mod is in a more completed state? Also, is there any other ways I can help (have some skills in modelling in 3ds Max but that is it) and if so, what can I do?
No please keep doing them, they'll help a lot in future. But ignore cups for now, they are there on purpose and serve as a temporary placeholders.
Open a new bug issue at skywind bugtracker and keep adding videos there, because forum threads are usually get lost after long time.
Also keep attention to cells that crash your game consistently, just put a text in video that going through that door leads to crash.
Good work. I just hope people looking for Skywind infos on youtube will not only see the bugs and glitches vids ;) Isn't there an option to have people see the video only if they have the link ?
And yeah, put them in the bugtracker, so that it doesn't get lost to thte end of the forums.
Regarding modeling, there's a lot of work so you should find informations on the related threads.
Ok I moved the thread to the bugtracker. @digitalparanoid I set the video to private so that people cannot see it but in order for you guys to see it you have to tell me your youtube username so that I can allow that account to access the video. So if you or anyone want to see the video and use it, just post or PM your youtube username so I can add it, Thanks!
