TESRenewal: Morroblivion, Skywind, Skyblivion

Zilav posted these today in chat. Skyblivion is doing okay from what I read in chat. Ormin recently found out about meshes having a -0 and trying to do something about that. I do know that collision was converted from Oblivion, which results in little to no crashes. Havok was added to clutter, so you can FUS RO DAH stuff for fun and watch it scatter everywhere.

I will make this clear.

1. Wait for 0.2 release because master file has changed since 0.1

2. We need to facegen NPCs like it was in Skywind, basically go through all of them and create a similar faces to originals. Can be done now with 0.1

3. We need navmeshing. With a working collisions it will be possible. Without navmeshes we can't go on with AI packages and quests. I'm talking about hand made high quality navmeshes, not autogenerated ones. Skyblivion is 2x times bigger than Skyrim, and 4x than Skywind, and we have a risk of bloating master file to the point of overloading CK. Navmeshes must be highly optimized using absolutely minimum number of islands and triangles to be small in size.

4. Modeling job: weapons, armors, trees and LOD models (Ormin converted LOD from oblivion, but a lot of meshes there aren't good at all). This can be done with 0.1 since models don't depend on master file.

Thats the list of jobs for now. The easiest one available to anyone that can be started now is faces.

p.s. I would like people to help with Skywind first. Please work on Skyblivion only if you are absolutely not interested in Skywind for some reason.

Quest Recreation...

HI SupremeEpicness -

I'd like to volunteer for Quest Recreation and ai. I know I can't handle all quests, so maybe if there are certain quests more important than others, please pm me to let me know which ones would be best to do.

Thanks and have a good one!

Just a thought -

For voice actors, there is this site http://voicebunny.com/

You can get a lot of actors, very cheap in most cases.
A lot of games and mods use them.

Don't do quests. Yet.

Don't do quests at all even after 0.2. Yet. We will try to convert them.

We also don't need flora, only trees and bushes.

No, but I'm planning to batch edit voices to get some more variation.

regarding quests, even if we get to convertthem, there will certainly be some manual steps to follow (scripting, testing, etc..), so you can start a tracker like I did for skywind.

Agree, but dialogs are not even converted yet.

agrea whit that most oblivion stuf looks good whit just beeing in the skyrim engine 

but i never dislike improvments like i really like this guy's mithril armor

I think we should keep all the same weapons and armour unless there is some Skyrim remake that looks nearly exactly the same in design but is higher res and more detailed.

Those are some nice weapon retextures for Oblivion. It keeps them looking close to the same, just more detailed.

that the same guy ho got a few killer morrowind weapons in a skyrim mod  but i remember getting permission from hime stil isn't successful whats sad because hey got a lot of super stuf that would help skywind and skyblivion

also about the armors and weapons i would say make a list to ceep track of everthing conferted than when thats done start whit replacing it whit improved stuf so it dont gets to confusing and it done gets messy whit 1/3 conferted 1/3 remade 1/3 not done 

Hey Guys

Ive been working on porting the Madness weapons from shivering isles

here is what ive got up to so far

Edit: dont worry about the blobs on the axe if sorted it :)

Here are the TES4 > TES5 converted shields (37 Models + Textures).
There is no plugin to support these at the moment, assets only.

I have almost figured out how to convert all the helmets.

Oblivion is fully voiced. We can make it so the person can just copy and paste the voices from oblivion but we will not provide the files to avoid copy right issues.

Also We cant do anything environment, navmesh, quest wise or anything that involves interiors or exteriors untill the crashing issues with the current models are fixed.

So I guess that scraps my idea of editing the pitches of the voices to get more variation and avoid copyright infringement? 

Simply modifying the pitch would sound horrible regardless. Even on that note i was thinking. all the meshes that have to be modified to fix. to avoid issues with Bethesda i wonder if we can just pass them off as a optimization mod for oblivion but they totally work in our skyoblivion mod as well ;) ;) 

What we need to focus on is getting this stable and getting all the cells into the skyrim engine with as little crashes as possible. Then work on navmeshes and then Quests and Npcs. However NPCS can be worked on through the enter prosses of getting us off the ground but shouldnt be the main focus until later 

even on this note. Skyoblivion doesn't need nearly as much work as Skywind. Skyrim and oblivion are very similar and are made in relatively the same generation. We can simply make people copy assets from oblivion into skyrim (granted there are a lot of broken meshes but im sure its possible to provide a download for that)  Texture packs will more then likely be compatable such as quarl's texture pack 3.

And yes texture packs are already compatible, I was using QTP 3 a while ago.
