So, since this class really isn't formally open yet, not actually, I referenced the information & decided to create "Dark Panther Fort", located upon the Panther River at the EDGE OF OBLIVION, or between Cyrodiil & Black Marsh. Intro Pic There are a few problems. I was reading, & I realize that the Panther River supposedly connects Cyrodiil & Black Marsh, though not in the Oblivion Platform, not actually, & that close to the EDGE OF OBLIVION, the CS won't let me make water, not actually, so I thought that the River should go underground right there, as its' variably reported as doing. The other problem is, I can't paint terrain that close to the EDGE OF OBLIVION either, not actually. I would like to figure out some remedy to these things. DMFort 02 It's really intended to compliment my first area, Dark Marsh, innovating upon the CS Basics course. I think it would be cool to create Black Marsh & Southern Morrowind as new World Spaces. DPFort03 Thanks.

I've made a Sign for the Community I started at the first Construction Set Basics class. This actually is for a small shop called "Portside". I needed Signs, I figured, so I made a Basic Sign version for all different types of stores within the basic Oblivion - Meshes.bsa. General Goods Sign The problem is, my sign is lit up at night. Helps would be super cool. As well, I guess I need to always replace a file.nif for anything I want to implement into Oblivion? Like, for the sign, I needed to replace a similar signfile.nif with the sign file I created. Is there any way to simply upload new files.nif into the Construction Set, or do I always need to replace somefile.nif with newfile.nif? Thanks.

I noticed there are dead url links for all of those resource files, which seems sort of typical. I think it's because you're citing Google Sites urls au lieu direct links. Anyway, I found all of the cited tools with exception of the OBMM BSA utilities, as well as TES4 Archive. Somebody, please help. Thanks.

As suggested: Where do Soul Gems come from?

I've decided to start learning scripting Cobl via the tutorials on the CS Wiki, cited at the start of your own tutorial. I have a couple of questions: First, how do you get Notepad++ to recognize Cobl scripting? I only noticed COBOL, with regard proximity to the suggested term "Cobl"; Second, I'm curious about GetIsPlayableRace. The info suggested ShowRaceMenu, though what FLAGs are used to identify Character Race/Species? i.e. What function do I use in a Script to query what Race the Player chose? "GetPlayerRace" would be a guess as to a similitude to what I'm looking to figure out. How does Oblivion store that info? I want to make SpeciesFactions & bases, or campsites, for each of the Species: Argonian, Khajiit, Wood Elf, Altmer, Dunmer, etc. Edited Note: I found it!! Uhh, I installed the user defined Oblivion Scripts xml file for Notepad++, located upon the Nexus site. As well, it's the function "GetRace". Though, there's no info in that wiki about the ref FLAG info for various things, not actually. I have quite a lot of Scripting experience, so I perused that site sort of quickly, & I think I'm ready.

Woot! & Woot!

The cited Resources were missing: See Though, I found the Merchant Cart. & I started a Khajiit Camp It's part of the Player Species Factions System that I am working on. ^.^

One Two Three Four & one to grow on you.

Notes: Creation of a "New" Character didn't work for me, not actually. My CS Crashes upon save of the new character. I needed to edit a separate established character. I'm running Windows 10 upon an MSI board with a i5 Processor & 8GB of RAM, with nvidia Video Card. *Shrugs* So, I edited an Argonian Male, & removed everything from him. I checked auto-calculate, & gave him Middle Clothes & an Amulet & Ring. I set his Hair to Fins. He will be Lieutenant of the Argonian Player Species Faction that I want to introduce. (See notes within the Beginners' Class about the Dark Marsh Community, including 3 houses, a Cave system, & a Portside Merchant Shop.) A pic.

Do I have to get my Medal for the Beginners Class before moving forward to tackle this portion of the course work offered of The Enclave at TES Alliance? I might have graduated & earned my 100 points already, though I'm not certain it's even active enough to get much of the attention of the instructor, not actually, so I'm still waiting to see what my standing with points actually is thus far, & what else I might need to do for that Medal. I'm really looking forward to moving forth with the lessons though, & I want to start this class, & submit my work. Thanks.

You might consider expanding the content of The Enclave to offer help with MorrOblivion specifically, as it's actually a sizeable Community of users & developers. Granted, quite a few of those developers actually are considerably advanced, while the projects that MorrOblivion itself incites people to consider expands the potential use of the Oblivion platform & considerations of potential developments either using the Oblivion or Skyrim Platform, as well as other Open Mod-friendly Platforms, such as those used for Fallout games & others. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

I think a totally separate Continent would make "Lore Friendly" much less of any type of 'stress' to the hypothetical question. i.e. IF there were a new World Space created that established a Continent with much of a similitude of Player Species, with different "Lore" & Culture & History, THEN it's similar what "Freedom of Speech" & "Freedom of Religion" does for people stuck amidst "bible-thumpers": it gives people the opportunity to think critically & creatively.

I have a likely Challenging question: Do you think that a mod that introduces a Dark Questline for "Oblivion", the Platform, considering the main Questline of save Martin & save the Imperials against invasion, having the Dark Questline pose an alternative course through TES History: Side with the Daedra; facilitate the invasion of Cyrodiil & the killing of Imperials & Nords, would contradict Cannon? I'm specifically considering the Dragon Priest Masks. When the Wooden Mask is worn, it transports the PC back in time. If Time Travel is possible, could a "Skyrim" Hero conspire the invasion of Cyrodiil before the events of the Skyrim game took place? Would a "Dark Questline" necessarily prove futile, or could it fork the Campaign Setting? Appendum Note: I think it wouldn't contradict the Cannon Campaign Setting, not at all. It could justify, or substantiate, what truly happened with the Dwarves, or Dwemer, as well as a few other things. As well, it wouldn't necessarily incite disputes amidst members of the community, in itself, not actually. Disputes actually are incited of individuals. Thanks. Note as well: The Dragons were "resurrected" within the Skyrim game setting. Is it plausible that "Tamriel" is simply a small Continent upon a larger planet that has other Continents? I mean, if it turns out that people get terribly offended of my question, then I'll be cool. I could learn & use the Platform to create other World Space, & keep my own thoughts & beliefs & moral fiber to myself. Let it be said once, though, that it's simply ridiculous for Argonians or Khajiits or Elves of any sort to side with Imperials or Nords, considering established Cannon history thus far written & iterated. That's sort of part of the point.
