Past Lesson #3 Homework Submissions

[freewaydog]

Ok, now, here are my housemarker:

my indoor teleport:

& my outdoor teleport:

& now after this, I will do the homework & attempt the extra credit stuff!

[DarkRider]

Looks good, put your homework together and submit it, you don't have to show each step, have some confidence. You can do this.

[freewaydog]

Ok, I am just new to this it is my first time doing such a big mod & I need to make sure I am doing it right, ok? I will try not to break it down so much from now on.

[DarkRider]

That's okay freeway, I understand. You can do this, you are doing very well so far.

[freewaydog]

Er, how do I get a "cozy place for a horse to rest"? I see nothing that says "stable". Please help, thanks.

[DarkRider]

Well, this bit is open to some interpretation. A cozy place could be some DUNhay and hay bails on one end of the deck. Or you could use a stable there are 3 Lowerclassstable, FarmhouseStable, and AnvilStable (not 100% those are the names but those are close enough you should be able to find them)

[freewaydog]

Thank you, DR. I will look later on.

[freewaydog]

DarkRider, where do I get the showcases shown in this pic. of yours? (The 2 red things on the right side on either side of the foyer/hallway.)

[DarkRider]

You will find them under the Doors section called Display cases

[freewaydog]

Thanks for the info. I wonder why they are under "Doors" & not "Containers" though? Oh well.

EDIT: Ok, 2 more questions:

1) How do I get my horse to rest in my stable on arrival? My stable is on the deck by the house & when I tried fast traveling, my horse wound up outside the deck in the water.

2) When I link my door to my basement, it DOES work, but how do I get it to say something like "Trap Door to basement", or "Trap Door to Bogwater House Basement", instead of just "Trap Door to" as shown below?

Is there a way to rename my basement, so it says "Trap Door to <insert name here>"????

[DarkRider]

When you fast travel in and are not mounted your horse will appear somewhere within the yellow radius circle of your mapmarker. Move the marker further down the path to prevent him from landing in the water, but in my knowledge there is no way to force your horse into the stable when you are teleporting to an exterior such as you have designed here.

As for naming your cell we covered that when we created our interior cell. Simply rightclick>Edit on your basement cell in the cell view window. The name slot is on the Interior Data tab (See image 4 from Lesson #1 for an example)

[DarkRider]

Looking great so far! The fence posts need to be lower, how you have it the people can almost walk right under the fence that would be no good!

Also your map marker needs to come up it should rest on the ground, not sunk into it.

[freewaydog]

Oh, oops about the marker! I don't see how ppl can walk under the fence, but I will fix that as well.

Edit: How are these?

[freewaydog]

So, what u think, am I ready for #4, or do I still need work?

[DarkRider]

Much better, you can head to Lesson #4.

[freewaydog]

yay thanks.

[Zayltsin]

Ok lets see if i got this right

Front porch with Bench, Clutter, horse shelter and front rope fence

MapMarker facing the bridge with shrubbery, outer wall and landscaping

Underwater Landscaping with a moss and sand effect(Looks better ingame than in the CS)

Trapdoor with exit facing

Basement with some clutter(I hate clutter), lighting, pathing and entrance facing.

That should cover it all

Nicely done V, good use of clutter! Full marks!

Head to Lesson #4!

[Vereta]

Man, these may be the basics but they're time consuming.

[Vouivre]

My lesson 3 stuff, I'm highly surprised how nicely the hill construction went.

Basement overview Angled view showing barrels, crates some treasure cases some tapestries and a painting.

Basement entranceLadder, and lighting using static lanterns

Exterior and wallSome wall pieces with some bushes, feeding piece for the horse and hay roll for feeding. Also seen is the subtle cobblestone path leading away, bravil light posts. Hill edited a subtle slope down with some pieces more sharp to show it was worked on.

Benches and outdoor lantern

Sloped and smoothed landscape underwater. Hard to get an angle to show the land to smooth out, Made the land seem to be "built" up on the wooden platform to go with age of sediment building up.
