THANK YOU STORM. Think of it as very old art from an Oblivion standpoint. It is recreated from TESFU Forums: For those of you who've despaired of the town mod ever getting on it's feet again we have good news! We've been working on it and it is farther along than ever. I have built all the houses, shops, etc. and lettuceman44 is going to design the guard towers and town defense system. He and I will buld the NPC characters which are you. Unpleasant_Assailant is going to be designing a lot of the house interiors. So if you see a cottage that catches your fancy - the first step is to solidly design your character in 'Trying to Recall' thread and then let U_A know which house you are interested in so he can design the interior with you in mind. Most of the houses are duplexes due to our high town population .. well, you'll see. All these screenshot contents are possibly due to change since this is only Neacrythe vrs. Ib1. When Lettuce adds his modding work it will become Neacrythe vrs. L1. When U_A makes some Interiors and sends them in it will morph into Neacrythe vrs. UA1. Then versions Ib1, L1 & UA1 will be merged into Neacrythe vrs. 2. Then my additions will make vrs. Ib2, lettuce's L2, etc. .. you get the picture. And Dr. Dume has designed our pretty armorer and her Forge .. so we will soon merge Dume's Neacrythe vrs. D1 into the mix as well ... I personally can't wait to get the Forge into town. And now to really get the pictures. I will start you off at the gate. Before our idyllic little town gate comes up you would have run across the sign that says "There is no town here. Turn back." To the right side of the gate the peninsula is guarded by a natural rock wall and on the left side by a drywall fence and rocks. This gate and walls are highly subject to Lettuce's accessment because they fall under the town defense program. I just wanted to see what might work there. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrytheTownGate.jpg Here is the overview of Neacrythe in TESCS and the legend to the left: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrythevrsIb1.jpg Here are the various long distance views - From SouthWest - http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrythefromtheSWtri-roominghouse.jpg From SouthEast - http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrythefromSErmghousescytheboat.jpg From NorthEast - http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrythefromtheNEalchmybkstoretowe.jpg From NorthWest - http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrythefromNWmilktentplazahuts.jpg The castle that you see in the background of some shots is Pelesiad. You cannot really see it ingame due to fog factor, maybe if you set your visual game settings all the way to FarView - but I doubt it. Ingame you cannot even see any of the shoreline across from our bay waters. Brian's Pawn Shop has a locked buzzer doorbell that you ring which leads into a long contained entryway. There is another locked door that he will buzz you through into the pawn shop if you pass muster. You know how Brian is: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/PawnShop-buzzerdoorbell.jpg The Inn in Neacrythe will have 5 floors counting the attic and cellars; and don't forget there's a trapdoor in the cellar to the newspaper offices, besides the one outside near the coastline. The Inn will have dancing girls and I thought it would be cool if we had some gaming tables - like round card tables and some chess tabletops. Alot of NPC's will stay in the Inn. Our double & single housing will hold aroung 27 people. So if you are late looking for Neacrythe real estate think of booking a room in the Inn unless you are a special case. And people could think of names for the Inn please! I've thought either "The Dragon Break Inn" or the "Flaming Phoenix". But we need lots of suggestions. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrythesInn-5stories.jpg This is the main plaza with mayor Bellum's house, the well and Dume's Forge to the right of the mayor near the Inn. All banners and flags will be changed to reflect Neacrythe later, they are just there now for spacing. We are probably going to turn the rooftops blue/grey/greenish tiles since we are using some Mournhold bazaar peices and they have greenish/blue roofs. This is barebones right now, the plaza will have foliage, etc. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/MayorHousewDumesForge.jpg Dume has made a rockin' new forge so here is what the plaza will look like with the actual Neacrythe Forge - the Inn will be moved back towards the coast and larger, so there will be more walk space between it and the Forge: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/Dok_Dume/ForgeExterior01.jpg Besides the Inn there are two rooming-houses = houses 7 & 10. House 7 is my favorite. This is where I began to build off of the real houses I grew up around at the Jersey shore. Nearby is hendrix' shack that the player will live in, the back storage closet of Dume's forge and the outside trapdoor to the secret underground newpaper publishing office with the dwemer printing press that "The Union" newspaper and our authors books are printed on. (Good news to some authors - I already have your fanfics copied into html format so don't have to worry about reposting them.) http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/House7Forgereartrapdoorshack.jpg House 10 is a triple rooming-house where the house owner lives in the basement level and rents out the 3 winged rooms on stilts looking out over the water. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/House10otherroominghouse.jpg House 11 is a mystery house .. no windows except a long horizontal one over a door and one door has an arrowslit pointing at the front doorstep and the other door has a hlaalu window where they can see out at you but you cannot see in. People with stealthy characters could pick the two parts of this house. It is right in among other houses so nobody would suspect anything. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/House11mystery.jpg House 14 is the smallest double house to for characters who don't need a lot of space. There is the one room upstairs and the lower floor plus basement level below. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/House14smallestdoble.jpg House 13 is the Healer and Wisewoman's house. i am hoping to blend the house colors better on this one and on the mayor's house too: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/House13healerww-tallhouseback.jpg This is the Alchemy Shop behind the Bookstore Mages Tower where Ned and Ethelle work and live. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/AlchemyShop.jpg Last but not least is the Bookstore Mages Tower where the front two floors are the book store and the mages live behind in the tower. I've thought of giving the Mage building no chimneys and having people say "they heat and cook by some forsaken magickal devices and spells that no ordinary man should know of." Something like that. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/BookstoreMageTower.jpg There are no chinmeys yet and very few windows because that will give U_A freedom of building Interiors. So if your character has special needs tell him when you hook up with a house. After he finishes Interiors we will add chimney and smoke and windows in the proper exterior places. All the house exteriors are done to an extent but all can be subject to change. And I have added a fishing fleet totally 5 boats .. Scythe's boat he lives on, 2 rowboats at the fisshing huts, another longboat and a skiff on the South beach. Because I would like to see our little fishy stick war to continue into the mod. I think the fishystick wars have actually been therapeutic for us after all that's happened in between sites here as we are .... and so the ninjasticks with cheesestick and kool-ade dessert; the sonicsticks, the fishy sticks, the samuari-sticks, etc. will be in Neacrythe along with the hot rivalry for customer delight in them. I have already picked out the miscellaneous lesser and petty soulgems to be retextured as the various fishystick delights. And I have a special surprise for the dessert of cheesesticks and kool-ade ... but don't imbibe too much. All fishy stick items will be ingredients and will have magicka properties .. to add or curse or poison or fortify, we will just have to see. And of course the wisewoman will make homemade redhot ninjastick sauce. :twisted: So I will be sending this version to Lettuce and U_A now for them to work their magic. Add any suggestions you guys have or think of ... it's your town too!

Posts: 61 Group: Master Scholar I Member #43 Joined: Oct 12, 2008	Inspired by Dr. Dume's Neacrythe Forge pictures, I'm posting a few of the Inn interior which I've been working on. The main floor of the Neacrythe Inn has the front desk and then the bar which has gambling and dancers. Stairs lead down to the diningroom and kitchen on the lower floor which is what I've been working on. Below that will be the basement where there will be storage and some hostel style bunkbed rooms. Above the main floor will be the nice rooms on the second floor and econo-rooms in the attic. I have changed my mind on making the head cook attractive. She is large and fat with white hair and is actually an Aldmeri .. ancestor race of the Altmers. But her souce chef will be the attractive one that will help make Inglord's BOOMsticks. Her room is in the basement and that is where they will cook them. So anyway here are three pics of the Lower Floor, some diningroom tables: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrytheDiningRoomTables.jpg The dessert cart: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/DessertCart2.jpg View of the kitchen from the diningroom, I'll have a better pic of the head cook later: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NeacrytheInnKitchen.jpg

(really the retextured cliffracer wallmount) The Gargoyle is now on the Alchemy Shop Roof and will have large "iron-butterflys" swirling around his head. It is called Innagodadavida Alchemy. And here is our fearless Publican, InnKeep and owner of The Dragon Break Inn: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/Hypedkeys.jpg Here is Valkyrra a Nord of the Skall: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/Valkyrra.jpg This is GodSentAngel who is an Altmer priestess who is just beside herself with her own beauty: I've thought of giving her an elven name - Eilaelos means Heavenly IDK yet: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/GodSentAngel.jpg Here by popular demand is the star of the show Lucy, a woodlelf archer with a little girl voice that strikes hearts faster than cupid's arrows: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/Lucy.jpg Here are Mara, the dunmer cocktail waitress who hates foreigners and Slooma Muzgob, an orismer who is really the Inn's dishwasher but who comes up to the bar in her time off: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/Mara.jpg Here is Slooma out in Neacrythe in her Inn uniform with her parrot Ike. He talks down in the dishwasher basement but whistles along to the music up in the bar: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/SloomaMuzgob.jpg Last but not least, our innemitable Master of Ceremonies, Gambling MC David Lee Rath = he has a wheel of fortune with Arena, Daggerfall, Redguard, Battlespire & Morrowind gaming chips; a redant pinata filled with candy named The Red Rocker; a bingo machine and table; an ebony round poker table;some chess tables; and in Julian's storytelling corner there are Daedric Uno tables & a Knuckles table: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/BrainRat/DavidLeeRath.jpg There will also be a Dwemer Slot Machine that Dr. Dume found for us & a jukebox that will play a choice of 20 different MP3 songs ... for dwemer coin of course.

Our storyteller Julian, who ties the olden days of Neacrythe's settlers with the modern day occupants: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Julian.jpg And here is the MageTower with Flaming Phoenix Books store in front. There will be more windows on all the structures, we want to arrange the Interiors first and then place the windows, it's easier. I have to give the cliffracer/phoenix a more fiery skin pattern. I turned it yellowish but it still looks like a baking cliffracer, lol: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/MageTowernight.jpg I'm now working on The Dragon Break Inn - the nice 8 Upper Rooms on the 2nd floor and the 6 EconoRooms in the Attic. They are all connected by the 2nd floor hallway reached by elevator from the lobby. The attic rooms have trapdoor ladders in the hall, in between the room doors.

This might be Richards home, since he is fond of apple picking season: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/applecottage.jpg This is the promised Dwemer Slot Machine: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/DwemerSlotMachineLydian.jpg These are gambling chips for The Wheel Of Fortune .. turquoise Morrowind chips are 5000 gold; blue Arena chips are worth 1000 gold; green Daggerfall chips are 500 gold; yellow Redguard chips are 100 gold; and pink Battlespire chips are 50 gold: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/GamblingChips.jpg If you are a male guest at The Dragon Break Inn, traveling on a tight budget, you can rent a bedroll in Hostel #1 which is in the Inn Cellar: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/H1.jpg If female on a budget, you may rent a bedroll among the dancers bunks in Hostel #2: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/H2.jpg This is the cellar kitchen where the hostel guests will be fed cheaply by the souschef: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/cellarkitchen.jpg Here is the gargoyle surrounded by his fluttering iron butterflys on the roof of the Innagodadavida Alchemy Shop (I may retexture the butterflys to the all brownish color or leave them as is .. what do you think?): http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/gargoylebutterflies.jpg This is lettuceman44 who is the Captain of the Guard for Neacrythe. I may give the guards more interesting armor uniforms: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Lettuce.jpg Here is milk_is_white, town milkman and his packguar Mikey (again, Milk will probably be changed in appearance and Mikey will probably become a white packguar, since it is guarmild that Milk sells): http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Milknite.jpg Th .. the...thaa .. that's all for now folks!! ..... comments, suggestions, critiques are all welcome.

Posts: 61 Group: Master Scholar I Member #43 Joined: Oct 12, 2008	Okay, finally have some more Neacrythe landscape pics for you all ... I finally figured out how to convert .bmp format screenshots into .jpg format that upload to websites with GIMP. Here we go: Dumes Forge is safely nestled in it's place of honor next to Mayor Bellum's House: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/DumesForge.jpg Everyone remembers how beautiful Ethelle was, I tried to make her NPC look as much like her as I could; here she is at night near the Alchemy Garden: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Ethellenite.jpg The Flaming Phoenix Bookstore/MageTower which is still a work in progress. It seems to be getting built from the top down: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/newMageTower.jpg The backdoor to the MageTower is in place: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/MTbackdoor.jpg Fountain near Mayor Bellum's back staircase, gargoyle on Innagodadavida Alchemy Shop with his Iron Butterflys hovering in background: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/fountain.jpg Raven on BrianS' PawnShop entry. This Raven has an historical and very crucial place in Neacrythe's fate: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Raven.jpg Neacrythe has a postal delivery system, here is Mailman Newman. I was going to make him fat like Neuman on Seinfeld but Paul Newman died and I tried to make him more like a tribute to that great actor and even greater human being: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Newman.jpg Here is Guard Sargeant slane_wolf sporting the (new) Neacrythe guard armor ... it is Oblivion Mithril modded into Morrowind. I've upgraded it from Imperial guard armor as well as some other things in town. Neacrythe has an anonymous benefactor who has contributed lately to the town's newfound wealth. Figuring out which NPC the benefactor/benefactress is is one of the quests. Who knows? It could be you. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/slane_wolfSgt.jpg Here is one of the Mayors Angels always on duty outside the mayor's front door with female armor to match the OB mithril. Reds, you have to admit that this is cute armor: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/MayorsAngel.jpg The guards are not all left-handed .. they actually are all trained in dual-wield swordfighting. As you know, their right-hand weapon will not show until they are in actual combat. Captain of the Guard lettuceman44 (who I will have a new picture of soon) rules the whole town defenses of course. He resides in the West Guard Tower which is right at - connected to - the front gate. It also has the dining room and kitchen for all the guards in its basement and barracks on ground floor, armory on middle floor and sparring room, archery practice on top floor. The roof of both guard towers has a dwemer ballista on it - W tower points toward the front/only road into town & the E tower points out to sea. If I can remember how, the ballistas will be scripted to shoot dwemer spears like huge bolts .. cliffracer practice anyone? Sargeant slane_wolf runs the East Guard Tower which has the same ground to upper floors arrangement but the basement houses the town jail and torture chamber. muwahahah Edited by Ibis, Nov 15 2008, 09:50 AM.

Posts: 61 Group: Master Scholar I Member #43 Joined: Oct 12, 2008	Here is the latest installment: Latest screenshots hot out of the dwemer press at The Union newspaper department. No the underground Union office isn't built yet; but the editor-in-chief Redsrock is (he will be in the next batch of pictures though due to a glitch I've had and need to correct.) But here are some pics for you all to peruse .. any representation of someone can be changed and edited by them at any time, just PM me what changes you'd like .. up to and including Race. Changes are easy to make at this point, I've just tried to fill in some people I don't have full stats on yet. I hope they like what they see but if not we'll change things around until they do. StormRaven I have made the head wizard of our Flaming Phoenix MageTower which in turn makes Neacrythe able to have a branch (rather renegade) of the Mages Guild. I chose Altmer for his race since I believe they are the most long-lived elves; also he has golden facial tattoos that look like a bird in flight on the forehead, I'll get a closeup of that later. I'm hoping for eyeglasses as well, but my glasses mod is corrupted somehow and I have to find it to download again: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/StormRaven.jpg Ork_Hero has a crab/ranch fishing hut but underneath he has a large skooma den where the morag tong, smugglers and skooma addicts hang out: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Ork_Hero.jpg Here is his Ebony Cape and Hero-style hair from the back: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Ork_HerosEbonyCape.jpg Here is thefork, Maitre'D of The Dragon Break Inn diningroom. All the diningroom personnel have long red hair in ponytail or braids. It's like Hypedupturtle, the Inn Owner, doesn't care how long their hair is as long as they keep it out of the food: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/MaitreDthefork.jpg Trey is the Waiter: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/WaiterTrey.jpg And everyone in the dinningroom is yelling "where is the busboy?" but fthecook is actually down in the walkin dish pantry .. with his skooma pipe, lol: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Busboyfthecook.jpg I have learned from Princess Stomper how to schedule the Inn to have a day shift and a night shift. So while we cannot give the NPCs little schedules like they have in Oblivion, this scheduling enables different NPCs to be in same space in day or night at the Inn and also enables me to show the Inn employees outside on their own time and this also greatly enhances quests because more NPCs will be available but the player will have to find them at the right time. So anyway here is the Head Chef of the Inn, Maddeileena in her fancy night-time uniform, you can see her less formal afternoon uniform in a previous shot near the beginning of this thread: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/HeadChefMaddeileena.jpg Sous Chef Daphapannilla, a Chimer, runs the Inn cellar hostel kitchen besides assisting head chef Maddeileena, an Aldmeri, in the main one on the Inn lower floor. There is a dish cellar below the cellar kitchen. Daphapannilla is the one who fancies Inglord and helps him bake his BOOMsticks in her hostel kitchen: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/SousChefDaphappaniilla.jpg Here is our town skooma dealer Aceball69 .. only Ace has a secret way into town under the town wall that lettuceman44, the captain of the Neacrythe guard, doesn't know about. Nor does anyone else. It's very cameoflauged and the player is really going to have to stumble upon this one .. Aceball's cave (He will probably have a black panther face after I download Alien Slof's khajiit mods and her Better Beasts mod. I don't have anything fancy in the way of khajiits or argonians right now: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Aceball69.jpg I've shown the Oblivion Mithril Armor that the Neacrythe Town Guards wear . but they also have unique capes they wear. Lettuceman as Captain Of The Guard wears an Imperial cape with two facing dragons on it: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/lettucemansImperialCape.jpg slane_wolf is the First Sargeant of the Guard and he runs the East Guard Tower while Lettuce runs the West Guard Tower plus the whole town of course. slane_wolf wears a Daedric Cape: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/slane_wolfsDaedricCape.jpg This is the blue West Guard Tower Cape that the regular guards wear: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/WGuardCape.jpg And here is the red East Guard Tower Cape. I'd like to retexture the bunks in the guard towers to match the capes of whoever sleeps in that bed: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/EGuardCape.jpg This is the Crow Cage on the roof of the East Guard Tower and the Dwemer Ballista. The East Guard Tower cellar holds the town jail complete with torture chair, iron maiden, shackles, prison bracer and other goodies. The cellar of the West Tower. near the town gate, houses the guard kitchen for the whole town guard and also feeds anyone in town too poor to afford their own food as a courtesy to residents: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/CrowCage.jpg The view from the East Guard Tower roof is rather breathtaking. You can see Dumes forge on the left and the MageTower on the right with the top of the mayor's house in between: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/towerview-1.jpg I finally remembered to take a pic of WiseWoman Ibis in front of the Healer Cottage: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/WisewomanIbis.jpg This is a female Ibisarion who will be redsrock's secretary in The Union underground newspaper offices. She is wearing an Ivy Chain Cuirass and has an Emerald Daedric shield and spear. Her appearance is strictly subject to Reds approval, since he is the creator of the Ibisarions. They actually have a lot more glowing green scales on their chest but due to the fact that I have to make a female chest from better bodies argonian .. I just dressed her in the cuirass for now: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Ibisarion.jpg This is a male Ibisarion wearing the Dragonscale cuirass. I'm not sure he will be in the mod, but the males are quite a bit taller than the female Ibisarions: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/maleIbisarion.jpg Kebbi, a Phoenix-like bird creature, is FC4's librarian assistant at the Flaming Phoenix Bookstore/MageTower: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/KebbiPhoenixlikechar.jpg Here is Gilsa Gabor, the gardener of the Alchemy Garden. I wound up creating a lot of the female NPCs first while waiting for you guys to post your character info and also because they needed to be fictiously created so we would have a more even male/female ratio in town: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/GardenerGilsaGabor.jpg This is a view of tiller_jpg's houseboat through another set of gates: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Houseboatthrugates.jpg Here is a goddess door to a tomb near town, I will remain mysterious about that for now: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/GoddessdoortoTomb.jpg NPS Lady Wanda has taken to cheaply selling the excess packages that she cannot delivery because some of the TESFU citizens left town after D-Day. She will sell you a key and you go to the Neacrythe Parcel Service Office and see whichever package there the key opens ... and the contents are yours. Sort of like a mystery drawing. Contents will range from enchanted jewelry to small weapons to potions to .... eh ... a kwama egg? You take a chance on what present you may get .. hehehe: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/NPSLadyWanda.jpg If you wonder where I got the names for the male guards, and some of the females as well .. they are in the member list here. The member list still survives D-Day, so I borrowed from it where it seemed to fit ... like naming the waiter Trey. And most of the guards are Imperials, Bretons and Nords. But if anyone wants to become a town guard I can easily replace the ones we've got .. except lettuceman and slane_wolf of course. And I think Gauis Maximus. Although the player has to go to another town to join the Imperial Guard, I'm thinking of starting a faction called The Neacrythe Reserve Forces and let the player join right in town. Sort of like weekend warriors .. they'd get to bunk in the barracks and eat in the guard kitchen and practice in the sparring rooms and archery range. And train their warrior skills from the town's best of course.

I'm not sure if he'll want his name on this or not seeing as how he's now banned; I'll have to ask him at Gamersroam .. I have a feeling he won't) Ooh, I didn't realize I was listed twice in credits .. I'll have to consolidate that Lord_Veneficus' banana shack made of empty crates in the town plaza: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/Lord_Vshack.jpg This was easy to construct, building characters to specifications takes longer. I am giving everyone a unique Westly's or Emma's or Kalazza Productions head and hair, so you all will look nice.

Now I know that I'm forgetting some people so please do speak up anyone if you can see whom I've missed. And I'm sorry about my disorganization but being the only modder at this time I'm trying to build interiors and build some away destinations that we need and keep track of incoming NPCs. So what I've done is picked out some designer heads & hairs for you guys. And I dressed most people in a robe since I didn't get alot of clothing/armor descriptions. I can go over your descriptions later of people who did specify armor and put it on you. And if you didn't specify it before you can let me know or I'll just pick something out that seems to suit your Class. I know sluijs_br was in Ice Armor, I got that. Now if you don't like the head/hair I picked for you please say so and you can describe more of how you'd like to look. There is a reason though that alot of people have tattooes .. there is a sorcerer monk near Neacrythe who does enchanted tattooes .. melting down soul gems into his tattoo ink. But if you don't want a tattoo say so and I'll change it; or if you didn't get one and you'd like one also let me know. Your natural spell attributes or powers will be added to with a tattoo. Anyway, here we go: Ashiraniir is in a room at The Dragon Break Inn: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Ashiraniir.jpg This is Blitherring Idiot who is the madman who runs around shouting that Milk's cake is a lie: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/BlitherringIdiot.jpg Dungeon Mistress Athane Khagan who is the Torturist of the Town Jail: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/dungeonmistress.jpg Here's G-Man ... SFGiantsfan: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/G-Man.jpg Inglord has a room at the Inn and makes his BOOMsticks in the cellar kitchen with the sous chef: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Inglord.jpg Jail Guard Morphus wears the jail uniform with quiet shoes, when in dress formation the Jail Guards would wear full Ancient Bonemold Armor: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/JailGuardMorphus.jpg Jail prisoner showing the jail prisoner uniform; before the town bought inmate uniforms slane_wolf used to make all the prisoners wear skirts .. "if they were wussies enuf to commit the crime, let 'em dress like it" ... so these striped uniforms are much preferred: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/jailprisoner.jpg Lord Veneficus got so fascinated with his little shack of crates that I could only get a sideshot of him: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Lord_V.jpg Lady Morrigan dressed in blue at the Inn Bar: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Morrigan.jpg Pirate Lord has been hanging around Neacrythe beach somewhere near it is rumored that Aceball's cave is: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/PirateLord.jpg Poochie is a pirate counter-spy, he reports back on pirate activities to redsrock; a dangerous lifestyle either way .. fatal if the pirates figure out who he is and not too good if he misses a deadline at the paper either: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Poochie.jpg Quirk is for now at the Inn, I think he is going to have his own house but we don't know where yet: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/quirk.jpg redsrock in his nordic chainmail armor under his editor's trenchcoat: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/RedsinNordicMail.jpg Septim in Dark Brotherhood Armor with his pack and dagger on side table in the cellar Hostel room of the Inn: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Septim.jpg This is a weird shot of sluisj_br because I had to stand on the bed to get a good pic. He wasn't facing me when I came in the room and wasn't a bit interested in turning around: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/sluijs_br.jpg Storm Raven now has raven wings instead of a cape. As a very high level reward he may have some sort of functional wings for the player, maybe: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/StormwWings.jpg Tamira in the back bedroom of Poochie's house, what is she doing there? http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Tamira.jpg This was the funniest and I saved it for last but it actually happened first. As soon as I came through the trapdoor into Neacrythe, Unpleasant_Assailant ran up and started calling me an "Enwah" and punching me with his fists. hehe I forgot to turn his AI attack down from 90 and to give him a weapon: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/U_A.jpg I console cheated to win the fight with just the chargen dagger; but you know the saying .. never trust a woman! hahahah

Posts: 61 Group: Master Scholar I Member #43 Joined: Oct 12, 2008	I realize that I forgot to post 2 NPC pics that I chose heads & hairs for. One is The Wanderer: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/TheWandererFace.jpg As you can see his face and hair aren't going to matter much if we customize this robe to have short sleeves and be green: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/TheWandererRobe.jpg Wanderer, I have found the most perfect mod with a sleeveless robe and a utility belt that interacts with weapons .. the only problem is that it is a female robe. But the mod author says that the rest of the items including sandals and the tool belt can be used by either sex .. so I will PM it to you, since I think you do a bit of modelling work; perhaps you could come up with a male version of the same robe? It is gray right now and so could easily be changed to green. And here is tiller_jpg in front of his house dock and houseboat: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/tiller_jpg.jpg he will be one of our main connections to the piratey side of life near Neacrythe. In the background you can see the town tomb which has a goddess door on it and a little graveyard of the early settlers around it. I play with high fog factor so when I play I cannot even see across the water there. I am going to recommend playing at low visiblilty in the ReadMe because Neacrythe is a sleepy little seaside town and would have a lot of fog and I think it makes the whole ingame experience more emmersive not to be able to see at huge distances away.

It will be weightless or very low weight furniture so you can easily carry it to your chosen house to decorate: Here is the empty house #6A: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/EmptyHouse.jpg This shows where I just dropped some furniture down without arranging it really: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/furnituresetdown.jpg This is the empty downstairs of house #6A: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/EmptyDownstairs.jpg This is the fireplace end of the downstairs where I decorated with moveable furniture: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Downstairsdecoratedingame.jpg Here is the downstairs bedroom that was empty space before I set down the furniture (I couldn't get the bear head plaque close enough to the wall): http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Bedroomdecoratedingame.jpg Just a couple more peices set down outside the bedroom area: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/SunburstStudio/My%20MW%20Mods/Morefurniture.jpg It's really not a hard process to master at all. With very little practice you can intuitively know which way objects are going to face and where they will drop. There is an adjustment key for higher and lower and slant right or left. The tapestry was amazingly easy to drop at the wall but I just couldn't get that bear plaque right.
