I can't wait to see people building cities with this set.

Ty guys. Currently busy with finishing some wooden stuff and the banners. Hope to have a new file up somewhere next weekend.

A small preview:

[EDIT]Btw, What else you want on banners?[/EDIT]

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Still going on with this. This weekend I should get some stuff finished (yes, I did say the same thing last weekend). After that will be the Christmas days and after that I'll be out of the country for a few days. But I really want to pump out some new stuff here. (door/balcony etc..)

For now I updated the Larva lamp with some animation:

I love the larva moving in the lamp, great stuff.

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

That's awesome, Mwgek! Think you could send that video file to me in a PM or something, so I can add it to the TR YouTube account?

**Peterboy** · Developer 28 Aug 2006 Location: Hungary

Love it, love it Very Happy

I hope we will use these larvalamps in interiors too! In case could you please do a version without the lamp swinging, just with the larva moving?

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

The swing is just a standard rotation script that you can use on lanterns and the like. For interior you just want to use the same model and lose the signrotation script and maybe the lower the glow radius.

Maybe when we get to it, I'll make a different interior version..

Pasting here so it is not forgotten:

[12/23/2012 05:28PM] <+Cat> Do we have strider ports and walls and stuff?
[12/23/2012 05:28PM] <+Cat> dock pieces perhaps?
[12/23/2012 05:28PM] <~Haplo> oooh dock pieces
[12/23/2012 05:28PM] <~Haplo> definitely need those. we have walls, dunno about strider port
[12/23/2012 05:29PM] <+Cat> the Dres equivalent of a helipad, for Skyrenders Razz

[12/23/2012 05:29PM] <~TF|> sexy walls
[12/23/2012 05:29PM] <~TF|> oh man
[12/23/2012 05:29PM] <~Haplo> and some of those hlaalu staircases
[12/23/2012 05:29PM] <+Cat> with a painted symbol on the floor to land on
[12/23/2012 05:29PM] <~Haplo> like are used for the Balmora guild of mages and guild of fighters entrances

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Stairs, Docks, Doors, Planters, Well, modular bridges, fancy single bridges, standing streetlight, banners and Watchtower.

First I will finalize what I have made so far and make a WIP for that stuff.

**Why** · Lead Developer 04 Jul 2009 Location: Utrecht

I find myself surprisingly excited at the thought of a helipad. I'm not sure if this is a good feeling to have.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Lacking updates.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Was messing around on how we should implement stairs in the Dres set.

Here is an example of what I tried today. It doesn't really work on the 2x2 buildings but with a longer x3 side it works properly. Every stair that goes to the side will look weird bleeding the pillars at the bottom. I'm open for suggestions on how to implement a balcony (a la Hlaalu).

I think the loose parts will be something different from the other sets and it's loosely inspired by the Inca stairs on their terraces. I will set on some normal stairs like this aswell, since this one is sloping towards the building.

**gro-Dhal** · Lead Developer 05 Nov 2006 Location: A charter'd street

I think it breaks up the shape of the Dres building too much. On the other hand it looks like each step might be removable, which would be a handy way of trapping slaves in their pits when they're not needed.

**Gez** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jul 2005

How about no stairs at all? Ramps. Ramps with a half-hexagonal cross-section: \__/. The angled part becomes flat on one side at the top so as not to stick out when the ramp reached a terrace.

That basic ramp shape could also serve as small bridges. On bridge endpieces, the \__/ shape gracefully flattens into a ____ shape.

**Infragris** · Developer 10 Mar 2013

How about the small stairs with the curves underneath in this drawing? A mesh like this was actually included on the Morrowind disc, but never used in game.

Further update on the alpha planes. They are a hazard to place but look very good in my opinion. It also makes every building look unique. This time I tried the daedric lines. They look pretty good, but i'm not sure what they need to say. Now i'm referring to a lot of ancestral stuff. I think that is a nice thing to do with these. Praising the ancestors. Here is an image to show day and night.

If we use the daedric lines I need someone to put up a list with some small lines to place on them. You can see that it can't be really long. More is better.

And niches for ancestal urns etc:

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Triple post:

Ancestral Pillar

I would like some feedback since I'm working without concept art here. I imagine this as a village centerpiece where people can leave offerings on the tables. The three faces should be modular. So we can make some extra for variation. Or I can stick them on there for easy placement. The rotation is kinda bitchy.

**Jule** · Reviewer 01 May 2007 Location: Wilderness

Since there is nothing to compare it to, how big is this actually?

**Infragris** · Developer 10 Mar 2013

The alpha planes are wonderful, but I'm a bit worried that they might be difficult to see in the daylight, especially with the shop signs. Of course, it's difficult to see from just a picture. Perhaps a subtle black outline for some of the larger/more gameplay oriented signs?

I'm also wondering if some of the planes (again, the shop signs) could be made in different sizes? It would make a Dres street a bit more dynamic in case we need to use the same sign twice.

EDIT: about the ancestral pillar: it looks a bit odd and bulky right now. How would it look if, instead of the jutting altars, you used niches like in your previous picture? Like the furn_6th_ashpillar object in the vanilla game. There could still be an altar-like slab on the ground on each side, something like the furn_redoran_shelf objects maybe.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Doesn't really belong here anymore, but where else do I need to go. Started animation the Glow Larva from the lantarns. Using blender is a bitch but it's getting better. 3 animations done so far: Walkforward, Idle2 and 3.

Now going to finish the rest for my first creature release!

**Yeti** · Lead Developer 15 Feb 2009 Location: Minnesota: The Land of 11,842 Lakes

How large are these things going to be? Kwama forager-sized? Will they be hostile or passive? It's looking pretty neat regardless. Nice work Mwgek.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

I imagine them to be smaller then kwama foragers. Otherwise they won't fit in the lanterns and the Dres really have to look for right sized bugs Smile

. Also passive I think and mainly with a particle attack, like poison spray, if that is possible.. But only as defence.

**roerich** · Developer 08 Feb 2010 Location: Sea of Ghosts

Looks neat. They should have a CE Light spell as well. Razz

If that can't somehow be solved in the modelling department, as a blueish light would be preferable to the one created by the Light spell.

**Melchior Dahrk** · Developer 28 Nov 2008 Location: Outer Realms

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Because the morphers on the Kwama Foragers are based on the Kwama model. Morphers need the same amount of vertices to work and even if it could work it would be a little strange to see a Larva change to the shape of a Kwama Forager Smile

.

I can propably copy the spray, if I can get that to work.

**Melchior Dahrk** · Developer 28 Nov 2008 Location: Outer Realms

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Really liking those wall niches with the daedric text behind.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Thanks! After some headache moments I got the blasted thing to work. Added a glow map on the back of the larva and they glow in the dark Smile

. Now I'll further adjust the animations and add some extra for variation.

Have fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A14a2zVVxBo

And with spitting attack: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0t8vlj768lj0m14/Snapshot%201%20%288-9-2013%2023-32%29.png

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Looks great! Maybe if the movement of the larvae itself were quicker during the attack animation? I can see a whole family tree of similar creatures in the argon jungle, where things are so dense that some animals have to light their own way even in during the day.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

I will run the creature through Blender one more time tweaking some animations and adding some more. I hope to be done by the end of the week. Thoughts about how the grown creature (non-larva form) should look are welcome.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Revoke this please.

Bought a house that needs work and my job is piling up... My system had a reïnstall, but I managed to salvage most of the stuff I think. I'll upload it in the near future.

**Yeti** · Lead Developer 15 Feb 2009 Location: Minnesota: The Land of 11,842 Lakes

Revoking due to the modder's request (from over four months ago, no less).

Or have you been able to salvage any additional files, MwGek?

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Can someone grant this claim to me again? I will upload my Dres folder the way I left it, with everything in it. Since the interest in this is renewed maybe there is still stuff in my folder that is useful.

**Gnomey** · Lead Developer 19 May 2006 Location: In your garden.

If there's a way to grant you the claim without you claiming it first, I'm afraid I can't find it.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Right
