Copy a dungeon map?

[Arringfray]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm very new to the whole oblivion modding scene, and like usual, I'm kind of jumping right into it.  I have downloaded some Zelda mods and now want to design my own quest and such to obtain the items.  I really don't have time, nor the skill probably, to design a dungeon from scratch.  I was hoping it might be possible to take an existing dungeon and just copy it and then add different monsters. 

 

I would also want to create a new enterence point as well.  I have a spot picked out in the world but i don't know how to locate the map that it is on.  I have the x,y,z coordinates for the approximate spot in game, but how do I use that to find the map?

 

 

So in short:

 

Is a way to just "copy" a dungeon and customize it?  Is there a guide somewhere on how to do this?

 

How do I determin the map I need to edit for the dungeon enterence from in game coordinates?  Do I need addition info as well?

 

 

 

Thank you everyone for your assistance!

You really should start with the classes for Beginners, if you want help.

There are things that could equip you to accomplishing what you want, though there's quite a lot you would need to learn, & the basics actually are a good place to start.

"Yes", you can copy an interior dungeon & modify it. You could even make your own series of Template areas that you copied & edited, or even areas that you originally created, & then simply use that "Templates.esp" mod when you want to add something new to your game.

As far as finding Cell numbers for Exterior areas: I would suggest you look on Nexus & find the Cyrodiil Grid Map. Those images actually are really high resolution, so you can find each Cell Number within the World Space of Cyrodiil.

Good luck.
