DescriptionThis document has been split into eight major areas. Some areas may overlap. Each area has many links underneath it, or will once the design phase has hit stride. Team members may be assigned to fill in specific areas with information from the books, other websites, concept art, forum discussions, etc. Development process and standardsThis section will detail how the mod will be put together, the process that the modders should use to get their work into the mod, and anything else that needs to be detailed on how we will coordinate all the different team member's work. Development process and standard specifications GeographyThe geography section contains a list of each area, the desired style, list of known cities and villages, list of known special locations, coordinates on the map, etc. Regions, Towns, Landmarks, Geography - html sheet Additional geographical specifications CharactersThe character section contains the specifications for the all aspects of creating characters including race, faction, alignment, class, etc. Characters, Factions, Classes, Races - html
sheet Additional character specifications GameplayGameplay consists of how the world of Robert Jordan will be built in the Morrowind engine. This includes the magic system, transportation methods, events, and anything that needs discussion and design to make the mod behave as much like the Wheel of Time world as possible. The objective is to make the player feel as if they have entered the world of the books. The game engine will never be able to mimic that exactly but our main mission is to provide a realistic framework. ModelsThis section contains a list of the needed and desired new 3d models. Each model is assigned a priority. High priorities are a must have. The game will not feel like the WOT world without it. Lower priorities are nice to have's. We obviously want the high priorities done before the lower ones. If anyone knows of existing models in Morrowind, the expansions, or in other mods that could be used, please let us know. We are not familiar with every single static or possible combination or reskinning. Any models we can remove from this list will make a smaller download. It will also allow our modelers to concentrate on those that are really necessary. CreaturesThe creatures section will contain specs for all the creatures we need to have in the WOT mod. This may include existing creatures from Morrowind, creatures from mods we can use, or creatures that we need made. Creatures, like models will have a priority to know which ones are necessary to feel like the WOT world and fit in the story and which ones are just nice to have. Storyline and questingThis section will contain the main quest as well as the smaller quests that allow the player to earn some money and travel all over the WOT world. ScriptingThis section details the scripting needed. It is closely aligned with gameplay and storyline and questing. Script tracking specifications Source: The base outline for geography and characters comes from the WOT Encyclopedia website and its use is approved by that site. Other data has been collected from the Wheel of Time Guide, the RPG roleplaying game, and the books. |
