I’ve decided to publish the tileset as a modders’ resource:

Happy modding people! It’s been too long in the making, and now that it’s in a useable state I haven’t got any time to mod anymore. Still, I hope others can bring the Telvanni to Cyrodiil!
I’m pretty much done with the main architecture pieces, and after some great feedback from the community I’ve squashed many nasty meshes and UV maps. So now it’s time for some fun… here’s a WIP for an Enchanting Altar. I’m not sure that I love it, but it’s along the right lines… any input is gladly accepted of course!
EDIT: slightly updated to make the crystal/root interface a little more organic, and a shelf.
While I’m sure there will be loads of little issues to fix in the larger meshes, I felt it was definitely important to get some of the little things done. One thing I’ve done today is plant pots:
Not very illuminating I know – they aren’t any use out of context. But the other work of today was one of my favourite bits from Morrowind. Not a very large or impressive thing, but the little paper lanterns! Some brilliant textures have been appropriated borrowed with gratitude from the Khalazza Morrowind Visual Pack 2.11, which again states in the readme that the files can be used in mods. So, the lanterns:
I think these guys looks great!
Alrighty everyone… or rather, the eight or nine people who are interested in this project 
I’ve put together a preview pack. It’s fairly complete and I’d like for people to have a play with it, but NOT RELEASE MODS WITH IT OR REDISTRIBUTE THE FILES 
Things that are NOT included in this release are:
- The large corridor set
- A transition to cave (will be done, is essential for an underground dungeon
- Slave cages (for reasons as below)
- and the most important one… animated doors.
I haven’t made the doors usable yet, as I have no idea how to do it! There are a couple of load doors included in this pack but no animated ones – if anyone has any idea how to do them then please let me know, I’ve got models but no know-how
It works very well indeed if you have a grid snap to 256 – the interior tiles’ dimensions are either 256 or 512, in general, or are centered to take advantage of the grid.
I would like, as it says in the readme, copious and merciless feedback.
If you would like me to send this preview pack to you, email me: jonesthebond at gmail dot com. If I send out the models to you, I’d appreciate a few comments on it somewhere, so I can make it better before I make a full release.
Anyway that was a lot of rambling. Cheers for all the help guys!
Well the tileset is coming along nicely – it’s almost complete. One problem I have is doors, as I have no idea how to make them animate. I’ll be looking into this as my next priority.
Today’s work involved a small hall doorjamb, another door, a few more decorative bits and a lot of file renaming. No pics today, but I’ll perhaps do a roundup tomorrow.
Odds on there will be a better update later on, but I just had to show off Plangkye’s amazing internal door texture:
Lots of productivity today, when I probably should have been doing other things. Never mind eh. Yes I have for you lots of new screens! Here’s what today has been all about:
The stairs were the bit I really didn’t want to do – but I ate the frog and got on with them today. A whole batch of screenshots is right here.
Oh what a cool door texture! One of Plangkye’s, of course
More of Plangkye’s textures on the housepods
A new shot of the Tel Aryon town layout, just to show new textures really
Interiors of housepods, without and with optional mezzanine and stairs
Supports for small rooms
Stairs! They come in both CW and CCW flavours
Decorative root… I used this one way too much in the TES3CS
So, enjoy, leave comments here, or in the thread on the official forums, or on the one at Oblivion’s Real Estate!
I just can’t make or find a suitable texture for the interior floors… y’know, the golden tiles. If anyone has any ideas where I can find one, or could make one themselves, please let me know!
Back at the computer after a week or so in London. I’ve been working out the logistics of working in Cambridge and living in London, which meant getting back on a bike for the first time in 10 years. All good fun! Then found a flat in north London, everything’s going swimmingly.
Err anyway, on to the Tel Aryon news. I’ve been tightening up a few meshes, but the main things I’ve been doing are the vertical levitation shafts, with ways to access them from the halls. These bits are really hard to screenshot ingame so I’ve grabbed a few from Nifskope – they might not mean much to some people, but you’ll surely recognise the pieces if you ever modded Telvanni in Morrowind.
Ceiling cap, to fill in the top hole of the 6-way cross… don’t even know why I posted this one
This is a 5-way cross, 4-way arches + one vertical entry
This is the 6-way, as above but with a hole in the floor for vertical access
Hope those mean something to somebody!
Having gotten a little bit annoyed with the alignment of some of the vertical shafts, I turned my attention to the small (single storey, 256 units high) interior tileset. The results are fine – see screens – not exactly new though, as all the textures are the same. Here we go though… really not that far off now from having a full interior tileset.
So I think here is a list of things left to do, interior-wise:
And possibly the large hallway tileset, which was very cool… in fact thinking about it, how could I leave it out?
So in fact I’m about half way with the interiors. Keep watching; progress is good. I also have a start date for my new job (a Media Relations Executive for the Royal Society of Chemistry) so I’m definitely aiming to finish (the tileset resources at least) by March 3rd.
