Dragonstar: Castle Interior (Sky_iRe_Ds1b) [Tristior]

Post by roerich »

The middle part of Castle Dragonstar, enterable from the yard through the giant gates. This interior should consist of a large fort-wall-using hall, lots of equipment storage, soldier quarters. It should also have an entrance to the palace (Sky_iRe_Ds1a) and the dungeon (Sky_iRe_Ds2)

Whoever claims this should coordinate with those building Sky_iRe_Ds1a and Sky_iRe_Ds2

Use T_Nor_FurnP and T_Nor_FurnM where appropriate.

Location number 1b on this map:

The exterior can be found here (use the latest file)

So like... tentative claim? You can see what I've been playing around with, although the big question is whether mixing the Rga fort and interior styles is appropriate.

Interesting! Grant.

I have some ideas for this. First off, mixing the interior and exterior set might be a bad idea. Instead use the fort pieces creatively and use beams and planks for the rest. Secondly I think this interior, as a base, is too big. And lastly I think that a dirt texture might be a better fit for the floor.

I've tested out some ideas in the CS, use what you can:

Okay, here's the present form. Mostly it's just proofs of concept, but I'd love to know if I'm on the right track.

Hey frens, could I get some feedback on what how to fill this out a bit more? It all seems a bit empty at the moment. Bottom of the tower and the hall in front of the main doors, in particular.

This is looking most excellent. Just what I imagined when building the exterior.

Comments and ideas:
- The armory could do with a bit more Nordic gear, i.e. wooden shields instead of steel shields, more axes, more variation in armor (ringmail, iron, fur etc.)
- T_Rga_SetReach_X_FortStairs should be moved a bit on the y-axis, currently they're bleeding
- You could add a well in the stairwell (hah!), and use some of the empty storage space for water barrels and halfbarrels. Would be quite useful if you're under siege. Also Furn_Com_Kegstand, possibly upsized.
- Downsized logs would also make sense, for repairs and firewood

Phewph! Here we go, ready for review. I think it really does need some Dragonstar/Jarla Jona banners to finish it off, if we have any of those on the horizon.

This is god damn beautiful. As a makeshifting-aficionado, I'm very impressed.
