I think you'll make this int epic. Anyway, it's supposed to be the same level of the narsis interiors.

[Katze]

Granting, I trust you'll make it epic :D

[Aeven]

Depending on how far into the hill you want to go, there could be some OM stuff there, I think.

Great that you've claimed this!

[Haplo]

Yes, it should have some religiousness.

[cire992]

Revoke please.

[Haplo]

Revoked per user request

[Yeti]

I'm up for claiming this. A big important claim like this is just what I need to motivate me to mod.

I Will start with what Cire had planned and go from there and try to make it has epic as Cire's Narsis Council hall.

[Katze]

Granting. I hope it gets completed promptly this time D:

[Adanorcil]

On a side note: make neither vault nor records chamber too large, because we have a lot of either already. The vault, I think, may be unnecessary in this interior. (Think of it, most parliaments don't have vaults under them.)

I'd say concentrate your every effort on making an interesting council chamber, i.e. do something special with the tileset. Perhaps try to go for a sort of aula-like construction.

[Yeti]

Can someone please remove the dependencies from Lud's file other than Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmooon, and TR_Data. I can't get TESDTK to work.

[Thrignar Fraxix]

Why would lud add a map 1 dependence to this file?

[Haplo]

[Yeti]

[Bloodthirsty Crustacean]

11 at the last I remember (incl Grand Ascendant).

[Yeti]

Update

I believe I have the basic design of the Council Chamber close to completetion but I would like approval and comments before moving onto finalizing and detailing it and starting on other parts of the building that will connect to it.

I think I got the right feel for it down. It's pretty big, but appropriate considering that the Indoril have been the dominant Great House for most of Morrowind’s history. They'd certainly have the most impressive HQ.

Anyway, I'll just let some screenies do the talking

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

I also have the entrance lobby’s shell pretty much finished minus a few needed fixes. After that I will be adding some scribe offices, a modest chapel, and some other minor things. All my work is in the interior cell “TR i3-25-Ind, Indoril Council House” Please note that the file’s size is inflated by me still having Nomadic’s interiors in a separate cell.

[Bloodthirsty Crustacean]

Personally I think the 'throne' looks a bit too obviously like a mock-up made of random objects. For me it took something of a double take to understand I wasn't meant to be looking at a window and a floating cushion.

Otherwise it looks pretty sweet to me.

[Nalin]

A new "table" and throne is needed - like BC said; it's a little too mocked up as it is there.

Otherwise though I like it, it looks nice and grand.

[Yeti]

I'll try to play around with them a bit. Perhaps I'll be able to disguise the mocked upness of them. Any suggestions of statics that could be used towards this would welcomed

[Yeti]

I've made some decent progress on this. The shell is nearing completion and I've begun to clutter it.

Someone might want to start removing old files from the first page of this thread...

Anyway, here's some screens

A modest sized chapel to Almalexia for pious House members at the Council House to pray at while they're off duty. I'll probably end up decreasing the brightness a tad:

A lounge area for Indoril Council House workers:

[Haplo]

Done. Nice progress, although I'm sure about those... containers? The ones lined up like sixth house bells in that image.

[Yeti]

[Haplo]

Scamp told me in IRC. I still think they are a bit weird for this interior. Really I think they're kind of weird for any cell except for a cathedral...

[Yeti]

Yeah, I can see what you mean. I'll put something else there.

[Yeti]

I'm making progress on this, little by little. The East Wing of the building is pretty much finished.

I am also continuing to refine the council chamber:

Unfortunately, I have a feeling I've already reached the ref limit with it (its 700 right?) so I'll have figure out how to cut some refs so I can finish cluttering it. The lighting will also need some tweaking.

(Perhaps I've made it too big…)

[Aeven]

The limit is arbitrary, but if you think you can, then it'd be best to split it, yes.

[Thrignar Fraxix]

the ref limit is somewhere in the 700-1000 range, but depends more on how it plays on older computers.

[Yeti]

[Yeti]

Update:

Not a lot done but I do have the Council Chamber finished (820 refs with no lag for me)

[Scamp]

Looking pretty awesome

[Why]

Looks nice. A lot larger than I'd expected it to become (but I still don't like the chair )

[Yeti]

[Why]

To be honest I kinda agree with him even though they're not that bad. They just look like benches, which they are. I'd offer to try and makeshift you something but I fear you way outskill me so that won't be of much use

[Yeti]

You can try, I'm pretty much out of ideas at the moment

[Yeti]

Update: Not a lot done on this but I think I'm at the half-way point at least.

[Aeven]

Your November 5th file looks really amazing!

[The Greatness]

I think the throne and the table should have custom models. I realise that's probably a fair bit of work but it is the Indoril Council House in Almalexia. Ought to make it look a bit different.

I like those tables with papers on at either side of the main table by the way. Makes it look very important.

[Haplo]

I think if a suitable throne can't be made from existing pieces then it shouldn't be added. I don't even know why a throne is necessary. It's not like Helseth is visiting them for each meeting.

[Katze]

Helseth isn't even Indoril, he's Hlaalu.

[Haplo]

[The Greatness]

For the head of House Indoril? I never said anything about King Helseth. I called it a throne because that's what Yeti called it before he replaced it with a normal chair.
