Ok, new thread here.

CONFIRMED ROOMS;

Different rooms for each 'category' of books

'Front' office

Offices for most people in this

A central staicase


POSSIBLE ROOMS;

A Atrium/greenhouse thing

Private reading rooms for skillbooks

Living quarters, dining halls, and other misc. living areas.

LOCATION

To yet be determined, although its getting pretty polarized for either lost in the forests, or in the middle of the city.

OTHER INFO ABOUT THE LIBRARY

We will be adding at least one secret area, although it's location and nature might only be privvy to a few.

Might have more areas than that.

Anything I missed, just post.



Do not make another thread about anything that would be put in the library. If you have an idea please post it in here.

Thanks
-Jona

The design looks good to me. I realy should actually write something for the library soon. After the exams end, and I blitz my undead mage on WoW to level 60, I promise I will write something for the library.

[Channler]

Well if you need a few hired hands or something don't be afraid to call... GHOST BUSTERS!!! *Starts ghost busters music*

Errr.. I mean me

[9of9]

Actually - a thought just came to me. Because we have fully-fledged Rad AI in the game, that means we can schedule the NPCs to have proper lives (unlike their real-life counterparts, ironically) which means they would need somewhere to eat and sleep, in the Imperial City. Well, not need (as far as I know all the Rad AI scheduling is purely optional) but it would be nice to see all the employees going off home as the Library closes for the night. But the question is - where would everyone live?

[jonajosa]

Very nice. But i alwasy imagined the library to be a very large building with lots of space. Space as in ground level space. No need to hide it underground.

[quote=Stargate525] executive decision on the part of the big boss guy

It'll be in the city[/quote] Thats it then. No more disscussion on where it should be.

[stargate525]

The 'secretary' is hardly ever at her desk, but spend a large amount of time in Troika's office.

I can easily put in apartments for us in a lower level.

That's a great idea! Maybe there could be other non library-employed NPCs that wander into the front office, and the library staff in the front office could be programmed only to go into the main library part when no other NPCs are there. Maybe a little complex to mod in easily, but I'm just throwing around ideas here.

[9of9]

Well, you could always come down to having two versions of the mod - one in the city, one in the forest if its that big of a schizm Then those who like it being in the city can mod it in the city, those for the forest can do it for the forest. In the end, its the content (and hundreds of books for us to clutter our shelves with, at last) that really matters.

[vaanic~one]

I do like that idea that you have there about the layout of Tes'fruum. Though I do hope that that the architecture is lighter in colour in the real thing.

remember thats just morrowind cs

and I left the 'lights on'


JJ, I can still put it in the forest, although that makes many of our ideas moot. For example, the office front wouldn't be needed, and then how is Troika supposed to explain having a secretary? ^_^

And it increases the dificulty in hiding it, since it would have a tendancy to sprawl out a bit.

[9of9]

Maybe have it on a small island in the middle of Tobal Bay?

[jonajosa]

No its going in a city.

One quick thing before i go...

*wolf whistle* Good goin' Troika!

:paperbag2:


how about adding in a small eating area or mabye a small kicthen. it would be hidden of course (why would an inconspicous library need a kitchen?) but that way the npcs could be happy fun time..

[jonajosa]

I think there should be some sort of eating area. It doesn't have to be big just enought to fit all the NCP workers in the library. I think the radiant AI make the game NCPs eat... so if we made NCPs with our names in the game we would have to have a place for them to eat in the library.

[minque]

A very nice idea....I like it very much....and maybe a kitchen as well, I´d love to cook for you all......

HER?!?!?!?!?! Do ANY of you know me?

Anyway, before you all start getting too out of control with all this 'how many NPCs can we fit in a library' thing, just remember... aren't all of you guys meant to either be dead or flung to the far corners of Tamriel? We've written a bunch of Founders' Fates telling how the staff count of the Library was reduced to one...

Where did all these new people come from. Convince me, and you all get free bed and board at the library...

silly me, making assumptions again. are you a girl/homosexual? If you are, we can certainly have a male secretary.

And SOMEONE needs to run the office front, dont they? someone has to dust off the books, someone has to recopy them when they get damaged, dont they?

[jonajosa]

As he said before... There is only one person running the library.

[9of9]

What happens if a freak NPC happens to kill him by accident? We need backup staff!
