[RELz]An-Arane Cey: Lost Sword of the Ayleids

[WhoGuru]

That looks very nice Happy!  And I had an Ayleid dungeon on my list!  LOL  Think you'd be interested in finishing it?  You have plenty of time of course as we haven't reached the crunch stage yet!  

[Happy-i-am]

sure, i haveing some troubles lineing it up tho =/, and you might find an super undead version of me in their hiding with an army of dbs.....

[WhoGuru]

Well, if you'd want to finish construction on it and let us have a look at it later, we can do that and perhaps it will make it into the mod.  I don't want to say absolutely right now.  We're still early on in the building here.    

As a start it looks very promising though!  Especially if you can get everything lined up properly!  

[Happy-i-am]

Yeah, i noticed that some of the alyeid models have error eg not conected full(not the lineing up) i dont think they can been seen in game tho. Also should i make an outside? and a test esp for you? and how big should it be? what monsters? traps? ect.

[DaMage]

are you using the 64 grid to line them up with.

i noticed a similar thing with some fort pipeces, they dont line up and you have to put in 'fixer' pieces or adjuct the piece in ones.

[Happy-i-am]

You can change the grid? lol i just use snap to grid most of the time, plus i got to re desgin dungeon any way this one was made with out snaping to gridding =0 yeah made this first time i opened the cs So how you change the grid?

[DaMage]

yeah the snap to grid is the best way, as it moves just 64 units, and move of the dungeon parts are 64 units big so they are easy to put together. to turn it on, click the grid icon on the bar at the top.

sometimes things dont quite line up, then you have to unselect the 64 grid, and manaully (through the referance box) move the piece one unit at a time.

[Happy-i-am]

yeah i got the snap to grid ima have to redo this dungeon tho =/ after school tomorrow =/ have new screen then too lol

What type of creatures would i been looking at to add for the lore of this mod?

useful info, while im not doing the traps in my dungeon (WillieSea is) that is good to know.

[Happy-i-am]

Yeah, yay i can aline the ruin now yes! btw traps do not need to be scripted use their stock scrpit and enable their parent to make trap work learnt that doing my first dungeon lol.

I am? Your going to have to stand in line behind Rider!...  

Vanilla traps can be placed by anyone and don't need special scripts.

Only about 1/4 of my traps are vanilla, the others require special meshes and special scripts. It really depends on what effects you want and how big your imagination is...  

I am currently thinking of one.  
1. There is a button that opens a door down a dark hall.
2. Push the button and a constant barage of deadly darts fill the hall. The door slowly opens. (You can try for the door, hopefully surviving the darts.)
3. Push the button again and the darts stop, and the door slowly starts closing. You have to run to make it through the door.

[Happy-i-am]

Sounds good.

Is there someplace I can get these traps of yours WillieSea? I saw the tripwire ones on Nexus, but is there anything else? I will definitely need some traps in the Spire, a lot of custom ones too, eventually. That's a huge part of the mod. Maybe you would be willing to help me with those when the time came? (a while from now)


Lost Sword is next on my list of mods to play. Currently I'm engrossed in the Lost Spires.

[WhoGuru]

Oh the Lost Spires is a fabulous mod!     Can't wait until you get to ours though!  You'll have to let us know what you think!

[WhoGuru]

Da Mage is planning an update for Lost Sword in the next week or so. First off, we are going to scrap the OBSE version of the mod and only provide updates and support for the Non-Obse version. This is to help him look after the continuous upkeep of the mod which is much harder with multiple versions.

He also has a small list of things being addressed in the update!    Here it is, minus one or two that will be surprises.  

From Mage:

Here's a list of changes that I want to add:

1. Provide the Claymore version of the sword. (Alternate .esp)

2. Add in the randomization of the clues (More on this at release)

3. Make An-Arane Cey a leveled sword.

4. Add more clutter to the end area, now to link with the next mod.

5. Fix the enchantment as I don't like the Non-OBSE how it is

6. General Bug fixing (Now you wont be able to screw it up as much)

7. Other goodies that I'm not going to give away.

8. Tidy up the files

Any of these may change if problems occur, but all seem quite possible right now.

I want this to be a 2.0 release as it has many changes and will require you to uninstall the old version to install the new. This files have been moved around to make the mod easier to uninstall, it was a bit messy before.

Thanks for the update WhoGuru.  Even without those changes, nice quest mod.
