Skywind is more of a priority at the moment.

Most of the Skywind team will move over to Skyblivion in a few months when Skywind is at a fairly well completed state.

Hmm, I'm not sure that we will have anything completed in a few months time for Skywind!! That would be nice, but I'd say it will more likely be 8-12 months before that would happen. Besides those that are doing some mods stuff and new people joining the Skyblivion project, I don't think any work will be done on it for the good part of the year. I'd say 2014 will be the year for Skyblivion.

Yeah, I guess that was what I was thinking with a few months.

I think we need to play Skywind first. It's more important than Skyblivion

We have plenty of time till TES 6 so Skyblivion will definitely be worked on in the future. ;)

@ EnvyDeveloper: I'm not sure how much time we have actually untill TES6. Skyrim was made in 3 years and I doubt the next one will take much longer so I'd expect it in 2016 at the most (If they stall because of eso and and make fallout 4 next) I also highly doubt skywind will be done before the end of 2014 (if not longer) and that puts skyblivion all the way up to late 2015 or mid 2016 (if people actually switch over instead of continuing to make skywind better). The very worst case is that skyblvion isn't (fully) completed by the time of TES6. If that does happen (which I don't think it will because tes6 will be most likely be released late in the year like skyrim and eso) our best bet would be to convert Oblivion to the next game first and then morrowind that way Oblivion(skyblivion doesn't just become forgot in the shadow of morrowind(morroblivion/skywind) (like it is now).

Unlike Skywind there is no meshes/texture pack available for download for Skyblivion (well there is but read further) where it mostly work, has correct shader flags and relocated to \textures\oblivion and \meshes\oblivion (because I don't want to mess my Skyrim installation or keep a separate one).

I asked happychappy how to properly reconvert assets, but looks like required tools are still not fixed or not finished, can't convert some meshes and CTDs a lot. At least we have eloth in Skywind to fix such issues...

So until such pack is available, I won't even bother making Skyblivion Reborn even if I wanted too and have a spare time.

@SupremeEpicness True but Oblivion itself is a much shorter game than Morrowind. Less quests to convert over, less NPCs...etc

It's also easier to convert the quests as I believe the quest systems have not changed all that much.

@zilav: you mean if we fix the meshes you can envision to do it?

Yes. I want to test some new scripting features of TES5Edit.

Skywind was a scripting challenge test too, I actually added scripting to xEdit just for Skywind :)

Wow that's a really good news, I don't really know where to start but I'm ready to help ; )

That's cool Zilav.  The coder working on implementing nifconvert into nifskope has taken a break for the last while, but should hopefully be back for March.
