ASXRepo

 

A collection of resources for use with several ASX mods.

 

Major Highlights

• Clean Ayleid Tileset - For those non-ruined Ayleids hiding somewhere... (Nessa)
• Obsidian Ayleid Tileset - A nice burned look for Ayleid ruins. (Nessa)
• Furniture of all kinds - (Various authors)
• Rugs of all kinds - (Various authors)
• Ayleid themed weapons, rings, and other trinkets - (Various authors)
• General flavor resources - (Various authors but mostly Strotis often retextured by.... yep... Nessa )
• Optional RAEVWD meshes - Only needed if you use RAEVWD!
  

 

To Download:

 

Two options, pick one or the other:

• Mega Mirror - The entire file is hosted at Mega for one simple download.
• Parts 1 & 2 - Same thing, just split into 2 downloads. (I have to split the archive to host it at LL.)
  

 

Player FAQ

• Why?
  We needed a central repository for various resources that were being used in multiple mods. Rather than have everybody download the same thing 20 times, one main download was preferred.
• What's ASX?
  Something that hasn't been released yet. But you can read about some of it here.
• What mods use this?
  Several... that haven't been released as of yet.
  

Modder FAQ

• Can I use this for my (ASX or non-ASX) mods?
  Absolutely! The resources are chiefly designed for quest mods so feel free if you like some of the additions. The resources are.. pretty well organized. (As good as I can get them anyway! ) Just type in ASX to the filter to see what's added to whatever section.
• Great, so I'm supposed to just hunt around in the already terribly organized Oblivion vanilla resources just to find ASX stuff!?
  OK, OK. The following categories have ASX additions:
  Activators - Lots of switches and more.
  Books - All kinds of new covers.
  Clothing - Rings and amulets only. No other types of clothes!!
  Containers - Tons of these. Also some non-traditional sort of containers.
  Doors - Some things here aren't "doors" but contain a door you can open. Dressers, cabinets, etc.
  Furniture - Also includes baths with sitting anims.
  Keys - A series of Ayleid type keys.
  Lights - With meshes! Some unique lighting options found here.
  Miscellaneous Items - 3 million items here. Lot of clutter items using various welkynd colors also.
  Static - Where the tilesets and everything else live.
  Weapons - Weapons with welkynd stone highlights. And yes, they glow.
• Why all these Welkynd stone colors?
  Got the idea from Ayleid Steps. In terms of value (or power if you like) they are organized as follows from least to greatest: Blue --> Green --> Yellow --> Pink --> White --> Red --> Purple. Purples are supposed to be super rare. So anything made out of purple is supposed to be extra powerful.
  Now of course you don't have to follow that if you don't like it, but any ASX mods by myself, as well as ASXRepo use that hierarchy.
• Hey, the new colored Varla/Welkynd stones don't do anything!
  Right, that's going to depend on your mod. Blue varlas work like we all expect. The other colors are supposed to power -other- things. What those things are depends on your mod.
• Hey, the jewelry and weapons don't have any effects and are named stupid!
  Yeah, you'll want to make copies of these (with new different ID's!!!) so you can rename them and add whatever effects you want. Certainly a sword using red welkynd stone shouldn't have a stupid name like "Red Welkynd Sword". BLECH!
• There's already a clean Ayleid tileset! Why make a new one!?
  I wanted a tileset that was a little fancier and using higher resolution textures. My clean Ayleid set isn't technically only a retexture. I've altered the meshes and most of the texture mapping for just about every tile. I put more emphasis on the cute carvings and such to make the tiles match the one example of un-ruined Ayleid interiors we got in vanilla Oblivion

And in case anybody is wondering why this is in the adult section.....

 

It's because some of the statues are *gasp* nude! OH MY!

 

Naturally, if anybody finds some bugs or something, post here.

 

Notes

• Regarding Clean Ayleid, there is a known issue with being able to see "hidden" doors. (It's caused by the door mesh not actually being flush with the wall. You don't notice in vanilla because there is a grout line at the right spot. Mine don't have grout lines. OOPS.)

[Vaelorian]

Good to see this getting closer to release.

 

If you need help making more "specialized" statues (aka ones of specific characters) I could be persuaded to help (within reason, it takes a while to convert, import, re-export, fix up uv\clipping etc).

Send me the character save, desired pose and clothing you'd like and I'll send you the statue back.

 

-V

[Nessa]

Oh, thanks for the offer. Actually... yes, I think I could use a statue or two. I could use a single female (and male if you're inclined) statue. I'm thinking an artsy pose, nothing necessarily explicit. But then, you're the one doing it so make it how you like. 

I'll dig around for some character saves and see if I have anything for you.

The pose and character can be whatever you want, as long as they don't involve any of the four things that I personally cannot stand.

Listed in the spoiler below, but if you're going for "artsy" I doubt it'll make a difference.

 

The short list includes: violence of any kind, ranging from full gore to the very lightest of bruises towards the female during sex, anything related to human waste, nipple penetration and underage individuals.

 

 

Beyond that, you send the files and I'll make it when I have the time.

 

I could use one of the characters I have, if you'd like. However, it'll take me a day to ask permission (they aren't actually mine) and I don't think I can get permission to depict them in a nude state.

Doubt it helps, but figured I'd offer.

[Nessa]

Oh my, I hate every single thing you mentioned in your "I won't do that list". No worries there!!

 

I'm thinking of a statue that could be placed in a palace (or ruined palace) setting. So a nice artsy nude would be fine. Since this is Ayleid it can be approaching the "inappropriate" level. They're not exactly saints.

 

I do have a character save here for you. I'm not sure what you need. (Or indeed how you even do this. Is there some way to get a character into Blender? If so, neat! ) The mod lineup is:

• Alternative Start - Just for the starting zone.
• TGND - Not strictly required, though I'd prefer that body. (No big deal if it's a pain to do!)
• Elves of Lineage II - In fact, I changed this. Her original race is from ASXRaces which isn't released yet.

There are a couple other mods in there but they don't effect the character.

 

The character should look like:

 

 

 

All that said, if it's major pain to even get her working, all I really need is an attractive elf statue. It's not essential that it looks like her.

 

Also, if you have any other statues you'd like to add to the collection (doesn't matter what, elf, human, whatever), send them along. (You'll of course get full credit!!)

 

No rush of course. It's gets done when it's done!

 

And thanks again!

 

EDIT: Oops! Pose! I'll leave that to you, Whatever you think is best! You basically have full artistic control here. I'll like whatever you come up with.

Ach, good point! Next update I'll link to that right in the FAQ section. Whoops!!! Way to go Nessa!   

 

Actually, I'll do that right now.

 

[Nessa]

You know...  my welkynd stone hierarchy should have been done the same as the spectrum. Ayleids considering light so important and all. Oops.

[Vaelorian]

 

Is there some way to get a character into Blender?

 

Yes, there is. It does take a while, though, and requires a few extra programs.

 

I'll see if I can get your elf working.

 

As for other statues... I'm not a fan of TGND, so I don't have anything prepared, and I'm quite sure the guy won't give me permission for nude depiction of his girls.

So please don't get your hopes up.

 

*Edit* Nope. Got the mods you listed, but the game won't render the character (invisible) and attempting to import face with Wrye to another save causes it to turn invisible too.

Importing to esp gives just the default head, unaltered.

[Nessa]

Invisible? That's weird. I wonder if I properly converted the race? OOOOH. I know what it is. I have the revised version of Lineage Elves, not the original. OOK. If you're still up for it, try downloading this. Use that instead of the original Lineage II mod. Any HGEC type body should work, TGND shouldn't be required per se.

Sorry about the mess. I should have just released the early version of ASXRaces and called it a day!

 

Sounds like a real annoying process!

 

As for other statues, they don't have to be "without apparel".  Whatever you like or can get permission for is fine. Any new statue is a good statue. (There simply aren't enough statues!! )

Alright, downloaded the revised version. I'll see if I can get it working. If I do, I'll make the statue with TGND (don't mind using it for new stuff, I just don't have anything from beforehand).

 

If clothed statues are fine, I can probably get permission from him. Attached is an example blender picture of one of his characters.

[Nessa]

That character looks fantastic!  

 

Don't worry about messing with my character if she's invisible again. It's working on my end but maybe I screwed up the changing the race somehow.

[Vaelorian]

Insomnia and the fact there's a Team Secret game going on (I am a fan of their captain, Puppey) saw me awake at this hour.

 

Tried to load the save with the revised version, unfortunately couldn't do it.

If you have any other ideas, I'm open to trying other versions of that race.

 

-V

[Nessa]

Well that is just wierding me out! OK, what happens if you just start a new game and pick one of them? Come to think of it, I think her particular face is just the default one anyway.

[Vaelorian]

Not entirely sure if this is the direction you're looking for. It's more "shy" than "outspoken".

 

As for the clothes... Mini-skirt and sleeveless top was the best I could do far as permissions go.

 

I'll try selecting the lineage elves in a new save and see if that works. If you say it's the default, reset face then I doubt I'll have too much issues getting that into blender.

[Nessa]

Honestly, I prefer shy anyway. If it's statues we're talking about.

 

I just did a quick test, pretty sure the face on my character is the default. Maybe a little tweaked but certainly not enough to matter for a statue.

[Vaelorian]

Imported, fixed what I had to, cleaned most of the trash data (blender's script creates far more issues than it solves).

See attached picture.

 

I can complete the statue in minutes soon as I find a suitable pose (or if you'd prefer you can still pick one).

[Nessa]

Me being me, I'm now wondering why she ended up invisible in the savegame.

 

It's been some time since I've played around with poses. I assume you import those into the scene file?

 

Actually... do you have any poses where it's like the person is holding something? Like.. offering something to the sky? If not, don't worry about it. Just got the idea that it might be nice to have the statue as some kind of centerpiece with a.... purple varla or something. If not, no worries. An artsy pose works.  

 

Minor side note....  you know, I don't think I care for TGND anymore myself! Those legs are huge! LOL! (Go ahead with it of course, don't bother changing!!! )

Do I import them? I can, but I also animate, so if I don't have something on hand I just create it.

Do I have a pose as you described? Not one I'd be happy with, but I can make one pretty easily.

 

I haven't had the time to work on the statue today. Too busy. Going to sleep now, exhausted.

This does give you an opportunity to pick a new body type. Pick one in the next 12 hours, and I'll change it when I wake up.

 

Also, you wanted a statue of a male character. If you post a save, I can create it tomorrow.

 

After tomorrow, I'm going to be busy until Monday at the very least, so I'd like to get at least the three statues done for you by tomorrow.

[Nessa]

For the male statue, might as well just use a new character with the default face again. I'd have the same issue I'm afraid as my male characters are all ASXRace related.

 

I wouldn't even know where to start looking for another body type. Likely if I ever get back to it I'd release a new altered TGND without giant legs. So just keep the existing body. It's already loaded and ready to go, so go for it.

 

And thanks again! No reason to rush however, if it takes you a month or more, no problem!

[Vaelorian]

Work calls. Didn't manage to get the male statue done, unfortunately.

Attached are the two girls' statues. They don't have collision, because I wasn't sure how you wanted that done (how complicated? How "flat" should the hands area of Elisae's statue be - you wanted it to hold a varla stone, not sure if accurate collisions will work for that, etc).

 

Let me know if they give you any kind of issues. I'll keep an eye for posts and try to respond if needed before monday, but I don't think I can get any kind of work done until then.

Statues.7z

[Nessa]

What I did for Hentai's statue (if I remember correctly) was just to make a flat box just above the hands. Then made it indented. Like a bowl. Thereby letting anything with havoc turned on just sit there nicely. In game terms though it really doesn't matter too much. You can place something there in the CS and it will stay unless the player manipulates it. The varla/welkynd stone holders from vanilla have issues with that as well.

 

Both statues look fantastic by the way. (And those TGND legs are huge. HUGE! LOL!   When I get back to Oblivion I may just make an edited TGND to fix that!! )

 

I really hadn't anticipated the statues being this close to finished so quickly. So really, don't worry about it.

[Vaelorian]

Created low-poly collisions for the statues. I don't think accurate collisions are required, but if you want an alternative version with them I can create it fairly quickly.

Of course, you can always make any kind of alterations you wish yourself, if you don't want to wait for my schedule.

 

Also decided to add an actual (tiny) plate for the Elisae statue to hold. you can always remove it, of course, but it seemed to fit rather well and could be used in an alternative statue (so, some statues could have the stone, and some others could have the plate with other things on it - gem offering, fire etc).

The plate collision isn't indented, though.

 

It's up to you.

StatuesCol.7z

[Nessa]

Looks great! Good idea about the plate too.

 

I think what I'll do is make some new marble textures for everything to really make it stand out. And of course multiple versions. There should be an obsidian statue as well I think!

 

Thanks again for doing this!
