3-15 Zenithar Channel Claim Update
Hi All,
I'm way overdue for a progress update on this claim. Thanks for the PM reminder, Seran!
Not too much progress for a while, with RL work interfering (still doing this damn data conversion - go-live should be by end of February).
Also, had a week off in mid-January, where we did a 3,000 km road trip to Canberra and back. I hadn't been to the national capital for a holiday since I was 12! (And it will probably be another 30 years before I intend to go back - too hot and too many flies.)
Anyhow, back to TR, I've finally been able to spend some time on the claim, with a couple more cells now completed, and I reckon I'm about 75% done, (25 out of 33 cells).
I'll still then need to tidy a few things up and smooth and clean the claim. I'd like to say it will be complete by the end of March, and I should achieve that if RL doesn't get in the way again.
Attached is a screen capture of a small dwarven ruin I've just added to cell 5,-31. It was going fine until TESCS crapped out on a land height error when saving, and I had to spend another hour or so fixing it up!
If you look carefully, in the background you can see the mountains continuing in Noirgrim's 6-9 claim (from the basic land mass version released a couple of weeks ago.) It shouldn't be too hard to match up our borders, when the time comes.
Cheers
Terrez.

Hi All,
Just a quick progress update. Unfortunately, not much done since last time. Still working on the Dwarven ruin in cell 5,-32. I wasn't happy with it, so I've changed it a bit more. Attached is a new screen capture.
I'll leave my completion meter at 75% still. Still aiming at finishing it off by the end of March, or at the latest over Easter.
Cheers

Hi BM,Bladmand wrote:you seem to miss a cell or is it me? What about 6,-21?
That cell is certainly still in my esp. Attached is the view from above in TESCS showing cells 5,-21 to 7,-22.
I've seen this kind of thing happen before. When I first d'lded the earlier Old Ebonheart and Dondril esp's, everything was fine between the 3 claims. (Though the land didn't quite line up.)
However, once I d'lded Noir's early 3-12 claim, and the land in the Old EH cell of 8,-20 disappeared!
I'm not sure what causes it, or how to get around it.
Cheers

@blad: that missing cell is exactly what happens when you don't clean your claim and leave a bit of land overlap into another claim. this piece of land will tell the game, that your mod also has landscape in this overlaping cell and thus the game will delete all other landscape but the one from latest-modified mod.

Hi All,
I know I haven't been active lately on the forums. I've had a number of RL issues to deal with - most notably changing jobs - and haven't had much time for TR.
However, I still intend to finish 3-15, and I WILL make some time this week to work on it. Watch this space for more screenies coming this weekend!
Cheers
Terrez.

Hi All,
Finally got a chance to work on the claim, a couple of hours here, a couple of hours there. Hope my updates can become a bit more regular now.
Attached are the latest couple of screenies, showing the ruggedness of the hills/mountains running beside the river.
I won't update the progress meter, just yet.
Cheers

Hi All,
Got a bit more work done over the weekend - another couple of cells. Here's the collection of screen shots for anyone interested (so you don't have to go searching through the rest of this thread for them).
I'm working my way up-river, moving south, trying to finish off each cell as I go. However, it's always tempting to go back and change things in previously "completed" cells.
Cheers

Another couple of cells finished. Still working down the west bank of the river. One shows a common cave entrance in cell 5,-24 and the other a "fallen arch" in cell 5,-25.

Hi All, four more cells completed on Old Man River, and I've added more detail and lighting to the Indoril Homestead at 6,-25.
