As usual, clicking on a picture will take you to a bigger version. See the first post in this thread for more information.


A view over the river/lake on the way to Zelbross. The skybox makes it look like you can see the other shore. Very cool!



The group comes to a crossing with a quaint little bridge.



Another view of the bridge.



A very pretty view through some trees.



Here we are in Zelbross, and Quinidar (Chilengo) is showing his uncanny ability to photo-bomb screenshots again.

When Quen goes AFK, it's up to us players to leave his avatars in compromising positions. Looks like Kale's got a thing for the crafting dummy. I guess he likes dumb blonds. Edit: Quen was the server host before Kalbaern.



Ew. Clean up after your bears, people.



See that green blob at the top of the picture? That's what happens when you flee from a dragon through the portal in its lair. It follows you. To OOC and beyond.

Great pics, but OOC exits really shouldn't be used to flee areas, they are there for when you have completed the area in order to save time trekking out.

Got it.

Woo!



Looks like this NPC's parents hated her, too.



Some builder put his dirty sack on the floor here. Ew!



Showing off the nonstandard tilesets.



Another view inside the cavern.



Camping with Eo, Landress, and some woman who I can't remember. Anyone know who it is?



Don is showing off his new look.



Another lovely area. Look at how much more real this feels than the generic tilesets!



Look how just a little lighting change can alter the appearance of the tiles!



A view of an orc fort.

Rufus is so heroic.



Looks like these three NPCs are starting a gang on the outskirts of Orlbar. Merudon approaches to acquire some of the Elven weird stuff.

[Micteu]

Dy'ner's insignia on FRC becomes Cela'wyn's here.

[z1gg3h]

I was wondering when you'd dig that up.

[Micteu]

Creepy.



I do hate those sheep.



What the hell happened to that deer?

[Micteu]

Hell, yes! We're going to do some goddamned cooking!

[Micteu]

Yeesh. That is a pretty brutal spell.



;D ;D ;D Golden shower. ;D ;D ;D

Robby the House Goblin and Amithiel have a chat.

Remember this? Well...



Tilesets have been upgraded.



Goblins got a visual upgrade, too, but it's hard to see it well in this picture.

Simply converting many of the good overrides I found into our custom haks has made for a major impact and facelift to most of our areas. Its also helping to reduce both lag and the module's overall size as I update many areas/maps to make use of newer/retextured tileset options and reduce the shear number of placeables in many areas.

Goblins, Orcs, Zombies, Ghouls, Mummies, Ogres and a ton of other NPCs are being tweaked to use newer appearance options as well. Most times, In cases like the Orcs, we can replace the versions created by using a half-orc model and reduce lag and resources by removing their custom armors, cloaks and helms and still have a wide variety of diversity using the newer appearances.
