[WiPz] Horse Carts/Wagons/Carriages

[Eclipse]

The only place there seems to be life in Cyrodiil is within the Cities. There's the occasional Highwayman and the odd Legion Horseman, but that pretty much it.

Here's the idea.

I was planning to model a few horse wagons for multiple purposes. Here are some ideas -

Travelling Merchants - Buy & sell goods on the roads, or rob the carriage.

Nobles - Nobles travel the roads enjoying the fresh country air. Take advantage of this and score some nice loot (Precious Stones, Jewellery, Fine Clothes etc.)

Travel Services - People taking a ride from place to place.

Guards - How much can a single Legion guard really take on? Well, how about a group.

Bandits & Other Enemies - Disguised as a normal Wagon. Bandits will ambush you when you least expect it.

Faction Caravans - Potential Re-textures for different factions where it would make sense. i.e The DB wouldn't go around in a DB caravan.

Player Owned Caravans? - If possible, maybe drivable player caravans.

So, just a few examples. I'm sure there are a few more. I will start drawing up some concept and models for a few and post here.

Any help would be much appreciated, especially in the scripting area and certain aspects of modelling.

If you have any other ideas, let me know.

Work so Far -

Texture is just an example.

A bit more progress. Put the model in game to see how it looked. It's not finished, and the texture is just a place holder -

I also found this while I was placing the cart in the CS -

I may try to make something out of this

*Update*

Well, I've been playing around with the model and managed to get the wheels to animate -

I saw this thread over at BGS and I am impressed. Keep at it, and hope to see it come to life soon.

Well, I'll need to find help with scripting before I can bring any life to it

I'm constantly working on the models though.

Ohhhh I love the idea of this! Keep up the good work!

Alas, we have progress. Remember this?

Cool

Thanks to Qquix, we now have a script to make the cart follow a horse -

This looks just wonderful! I adore the idea of being able to see this in my game!
