Dwarf palace (entrance)

[Chamaedrys]

This was requested by thomas.berubeg:

A palace for a dwarf civ. Unfortuneately, the dwarfs live and work under the surface. So I made an entrance for the palace. There are two versions, one with a single rock, and the other with three rocks.



download single rock version



download 3 rocks version

Good job, it looks very cool!

 

[Jeckel]

Those are awesome dude.

I think I have a cool idea on how to use these with mountain tiles in my fort mod.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Very nice Hope this won't be your last Fantasybuilding!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Thank you oh so very much!!

if the mood ever strikes you to make other Lord of the rings stuff, don't hesitate to make them: they will always be used.

Hi!

In which foldes should I put the dds. and the nif. files?

 

[GeoModder]

Depends on if you want to use this model to change graphics of an existing building, or use it as a brand new one.

 

[Aragorn7]

I will replace the original palace with this!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

How do you change the city artstyle :i want to make the dwarvcity a bunch of hills and mountains.

also, is it possible to make it so a city can only be built on hills and mountains?

 

[Chamaedrys]

I will replace the original palace with this!

Put it in custom assets/art/structures/buildings/palace and name the NIF (and only the NIF!!!!!!!!!!!) "Palace.nif" that should do the trick.

The same methode works with a lot of stuff.

look in the xml/civilizations/civilizationsinfos.xml. Every civ has a art style tag (for example ARTSTYLE_MIDDLE_EAST), such a tag point to several entries in the cityLsystem.xml and the plotLSystem (both files are in xml/buildings folder).

The good news is: You don't have to change all that entries

Just change the artstyle tag of the dwarfs to ARTSTYLE_DWARFS and there will be no more human houses in their cities. And there will be no more human houses in their hamlets and villages, too.

How do i create this new art?

He, he, he

If you change that the artstyle tag of the dwarfs into ARTSTYLE_DWARFS just a few standart houses will appear at the early ages. You don't need any new art for that effect.

If you want some dwarf styled non-improvents to appear, you need some new art. Do you have experience with 3dmax or blender?

 

[hrochland]

Yes. It is good dwarf Rock

no, but i have a freind who can use blender, but he says it can't export the right files.

no, but i have a freind who can use blender, but he says it can't export the right files.

Check the tutorials forum. C.Roland wrote a good tutorial about exporting models with blender.

Your friend will also need the nif plugins for blender. But I forgot where I downloaded them.
