DarkRider's Dimension

Hail and Fair Greetings Blades Fans,

Just finished updating the RST threads on BGS and also on TESA so thought I would take a moment to update the log!

Some of you may have noticed a new look here on the Dimension. I started seeing a lot of ES Mod sites utilizing the same theme on webs.com and not one to go with the flow I decided to try something new. The custom header is a screen from the dojo of Sancre Tor in RST; one of my favorite screens. Looking thr...

Hail and Fair Greeting my Friends,

The hot sticky days of summer are officially behind us and the essence of autumn is in the air. The cooler weather stirs my spirits and my creativity! Thought it was time to dust the cobwebs off the Dimension, give her a face lift and update my log!

Many of you followed along the recent activity on TES Alliance regarding the Halloween challenge: The Oubliette. In an unprecedented manner, 16 modders from the Elder Scrolls Community,...

Fall is in the air, and there has been much rumoring of late and a bit of chatter about RST's release. I know that, not being one for idle concern, if Crashpilot comes seeking word of my whereabouts on BGS, I have gone too long without updating my log. LOL I'm grateful for the reminders, it's not that I desire to be derelict in my update duties, it's just that when my mind is focused on RST, I sometimes lose track of things. In the first ...

Hail and Fair Greetings RST Fans!

I thought I would take a minute to post a brief update here in the log and to share some new pictures from my last testing session. I heard there were many anxious voices on BGS crying out for some glimmer of progress news. So, here is your glimmer. Progress on RST had slowed during the website upgrade on TESA, but since that upgrade I have gradually begun to withdraw as my staff is capable of running the daily business of the site without m...

Hail and Fair Greetings My Friends,

I find myself in much better spirits these days, feeling more like my old self again. I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support, it's good to be surrounded by friends at times like these. I know so many of you have been dying for some word on RST's progress this week. I am still making progress, just not as quickly as any of us would like unfortunately. I had not expected the last burst of financial support toward the site ...

Hail RST Fans,

Well this week has been an interesting one to say the least. So much has happened within the confines of these few days, both personally and in regards to progress.

I think my gran's death last Sunday morning took a harder toll on me than I first realized. As I tried to soldier on as normal, things began to crumble around me. They crumbled and I tried to hold it together, but the harder I tried, the worse things seemed to get. At this ...

Hail and Fair Tidings, RST Fans!

Time to update the log and the rest of the site it seems! I know I promised you all an update on Sunday, but my poor old gran passed away yesterday morning so I spent the day with my family. No one is comfortable with death, but it is just another road, one that we all must take to quote a famous wizard. Life for the rest of us goes on and for me that means RST among other things.

Hail and Fair Greetings RST Fans!

Some good news at last, I have managed to breech the issue that had stonewalled progress for a time there, with the help of a couple coders whose Oblivion scripting knowledge surpasses my own. Progress on RST has now resumed swift progress. I have finished inputting all the generic dialogue with the exception of a few special lines I've asked WhoGuru to draft up for me. I am experiencing a persistent bug in chapter 2 where the NPCs are deliv...

Hail and Fair Greetings RST Fans!

Time for another update. I wish I could say progress has been moving right along but I have hit a pretty serious wall in RST Main Quest build. It's one of those thing that is such a road block I can't even go around and come back to it as the story can't progress without a solution. I really really, REALLY, do not want to have to re develop Chapter 2 this far into the project. Unfortunately, if I don't find a solution, I may have no choice.

Hail and Fair Greetings Blades Fans,

Thought I'd pop in for another log update. This seems like the best way to keep information extended as I work my way through the RST questbuilding. My most recent plan of doing all non essential NPCs first basically flopped. I found myself in this weird limbo where, to place NPCs and get their AI going I needed queststages, but to create quest stages, I need NPCs in place. Quite a conundrum.

I finally took a deep...
