Merging Overwrites?

[Legacy_Leurnid]

               First, can you get overwrites to play together, or do they, as I suspect, get in each others way if there are added tiles?

Second, how tough would it be to merge overwrites, or at least get them to work together? 

I ask specifically because the Project Q overwrites are nice, but I really want things like windows and round corners in my castle interior, which Project Q didn't use.

1. Most overwrites only play well together if the content is merged correctly ie. set files and ITP or 2da which ever the case maybe.

2. Not terribly, but can be time consuming depending on the amount of content you want to merge. A good knowledge of Custom Content is very helpful.

3. Yes, the custom content project Q overwrites and use is very nice indeed, but I might be a little biased.

               I could be wrong, but I think that the project Q texture updates work in conjunction with the hak with the rounded corners and such, but the elevations and any bonus tiles do not.

               I am working on a Project Q update at the moment, but if you don't need this right away I will help you with this . Just post details of what you need and I see if I can squeeze it in here and there as time permits.

I would rather see project Q 1.5 released.

BUT!

Another person had asked about this a few months ago, and I think it would enhance the Q overwrite, so I am going to tell you what I would like to see with the hope that it becomes an official Q thing later:

Castle Interiors Expanded

Castle Interiors Expanded 2

These two overwrites are functionally the same, one for each castle interior set.

There is not an extra tile in these sets that I don't think is value added, it's just a shame that these sets won't play with project Q's elevations and so forth out of the box. The 'skyboxed' windows might want to be adapted to reflect the darker, earthier woods of current content preferences, but aside from that, I think they are both excellent adds.

               Leurnid click on the castles project in my profile select files and download the small zip file.There are three files in the zip file I want you to add them to the Castle Interiors Expanded 2 addon hak. Overwrite any files already in the hak then place it above all Q haks. Test it post me a bug report if there are problems I will try and fix them for you. Once fully tested I will create some new hi res mini maps for the whole set once I finish with the Project Q update.

               Wow... that was quick... TY!

edit: Hate to be a pill, but there is still no files there. Do they usually take a while to post, or do I need permission to see them?

               Nope. None of the files are available. I suspect there is a sharing setting required.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_cervantes35]

               I have all the settings set to share with everyone so don't know whats going on sent both of you an PM with my e-mail.

               I just slapped it in and made a quick run thru of a few prominent features... working great.  

The Elevation Highlight shows up in play with the overwrite, nuisance, not a deal breaker.

On a side note, I have noticed that the texture in the arch over doorways is blacked out for me in all Castle Interior sets (Bio's and Overwrites), and it seems like it probably shouldn't be... has it always been like that, or is something else up?
