Gold Coast Exterior: GC_04 [Chef]

Post by Infragris »

A patch of Gold Coast grasslands west of the coast. This area features a barrow and the estate of a local nobleman. The Ivrol estate is a somewhat isolated farming estate, involved with the politics surrounding Sutch and the nearby salt mines. It should be well-defended, with a wall and maybe a couple of watchtowers. The estate can use the Anvil building set (see GC_03 for inspiration).

The Gold Road highway winds through the southern part of this claim. The highway should use the designated highway meshes and ground textures (see GC_01 and GC_02), and should connect seamlessly to the road in those claims.

As the area is a little empty, you are encouraged to add two or three dungeon entrances or other points of interest. Suggestions:
  • A crypt/small graveyard near the Ivrol estate (T_Imp_DngCrypt_Entrance).
  • One or two small wayshrines for the saints (activators, T_Imp_Set_Shrine).
  • A ruined modern Imperial watchtower, small Ayleid location, cave, etc.


Check the Claim map topic for information on this region.

Granted. Make sure to closely orient yourself on finished neighbouring areas.

Here's the first version. Ivrol Estate was made, along with an Aylied ruin and the highway. Height was aligned with neighboring claims. Load with the PT data addon.

Ready for review. Reminder to load with data addon and the GH rock group addon. File is clean so the GH rocks esp will be needed.

Remember to sink your roads next time though.

Generated grass for this, using both GC and the new Gilded Hills grass meshes. Note: I didn't fix any bleeders or anything of that sort.

Careful when loading this. You need to download and load all of the following files for the correct results:

Tamriel_Data PT Addon.ESP
Clean GHrocks.ESP
PC_xGC_04_2019_01_17.esp
PC_Grass.esp
(found in the data contribution thread, upload by Worsas)
PC_xGC_04_grass.esp

For future reference, here's the ini I used to generate the groundcover:

Border matched to GC_03, so grass will have to be adjusted around that border when it's fixed, also is now dependent on the new internal Tamriel Data 7.
