Very recently Tamriel Rebuilt has decided to drastically change the "status quo" for Map 2. Along with a name change, it's also being tailored to a more logical, lore-friendly, and manageable frame. Read more at our Blog!

How do you manage to get a LOD of this?

[Lady Nerevar]

the blog screenshot? its made using a program called Morrowind Graphics Extender. it gives morrowind LOD and shaders and stuff.

I like the new map name, sounds intriguing. Because "Antediluvian Secrets" means "secrets before the flood" (at least in my mother language). So here's my question: what's that flood?

[Lady Nerevar]

well, there was a flood when the akaviri invaded morrowind and vivec put the whole place underwater. there was also a flood, afiar, when red mountain erupted (sending Kemel-Ze tumbling down). i think its refering to the later. alternatively "antediluvian" can mean simply ancient.

[Haplo]

Aren't those the same event, N? Red Mountain erupted but the alternative story was that Vivec flooded the province to kill the Akaviri invaders.

[Lady Nerevar]

hm, i really dont know. i think it was two separate ones. the eruption of red mountain made the inner sea, so was a flood too.

[Bloodthirsty Crustacean]

Vivec's flooding also made the Inner Sea, according to itself, I think.

[Sload]

They're all just myths, the Red Mountain one is kinda BS, the Vivec one is cool. However, antediluvian just means very old, the literal meaning aside.

Lute's currently elsewhere, AFAIK, but he did do a (Necrom themed) 'cover' for Map 2, back before the changes.

[aro101]

Lady Nerevar is working on it. The wips I've seen were very promising.

[Lady Nerevar]

this was the latest, pretty much done. if anyone has any comments post em.

[theviking]

Can the letters look even more ancient and slightly bigger? And should we include "Telvannis" in it?

[aro101]

One telvannis for the whole province is enough

[immortal_pigs]

It looks very professional. Too bad its Brown and Grey, though.

[Hemitheon]

I love it.

[Orvaris]

gj i like it

[osiris]

[fanfas]

I like it, and as one of the biggest places of the map are the ruins, it fits really nice.

[Swiftoak Woodwarrior]

Has anybody made a note about this on Bethesda's Elder Scrolls forum? I bet people would be thrilled to hear the release is coming REAL soon!

For Lady N, brilliant! My only suggestion is the text is too small-ish, unclear-ish. Is it possible to make the text look as bold and clear as the Telvannis text?

Looks awesome Lady N, IMHO you don't need to change anything except the font of 'Ad S', wich as others say should look more like the Telvannis one. I really like the rocky texture in the background, but maybe we need to save this one for another map, like one that is heavily indoril or has a lot of mountains.

A suggestion would you save this one for another map, use a color scheme for 'Ad S' that has Dwemeri colors in it, as I believe Kemel-Ze is included in this release? And ancient is the theme of this release.

[Swiftoak Woodwarrior]

I had some minutes to kill so I did this. Just worked on top of Lady N's original image (sorry if I bludgeoned your work without permission ).

Not exactly what I wanted, but the closest thing I could do. I added some contrast, changed the colour slightly, and added text effects.

[Kasan Moor]

Letters are improved alot, although the Telvannis one and beth's original ones use flat letters, not 3D (if you know what I mean).

About the colors, this is a picture which mostly has the color I identify with dwemer:



And ofcourse the dwemer armor and centurions:



What about a mix of those two colors? Use the first color in the middle as background and use the yellow one for the outer rims?

[Swiftoak Woodwarrior]

Yeah that's what I meant by "not what I exactly wanted"

I'd need the actual font Lute used, if such a font existed (or if he just cut the letters from the Morrowind boxart.

As for the colours, it must be my monitor lol.

[Hemitheon]

far too bright. if you could cut down on that blaring rust color.

[Haplo]

I prefer Lady N's image, but I love Swiftoak's text much more.

[Lady Nerevar]

dudes, im pretty sure yalls are working on an obsolete version. i remember posting up a newer one somewhere a while ago.

the textures are taken strait from the bsa, with minor lightness adjustment iirc.

ill check which version is the latest tomorrow, and ill post it here.

[Sload]

I don't understand how it deserves so much attention as to be changed. Its an image that doesn't even appear as part of the mod, its inconsequential, just a fun little thing.

[Chin Music]

Was there one for Telvannis? I don't recall.

[Thrignar Fraxix]

yes there was

[Kasan Moor]

[Sload]

blagh blagh blagh.

yay a PR image that people can click a fucking link to. it doesn't appear when you load the game, its inconsequential.

It looks Dwemer. It has looked Dwemer since Lady N posted the first one almost four months ago. No more discussion is needed.

[Nemon]

We must not revert to dickwadness!!
