Nice village. No interiors or npcs. 16 x 16 area. 8 homes, 1 barn, 1 temple, 1 smith, 1 townhall, 4 shops, 1 boathouse, 6 watchtowers, 1 gallows, 1 small graveyard w/ tomb entrance, 1 windmill on a hill, a small lake, 2 main road exits, 3 small trail exits. All buildings have doors. Basic sounds and music. Good jump off point for a module. Save it to your desktop and copy paste into your modules folder. Smaller zip file coming soon. Please give credit if used, thanks and enjoy.
Ok, I'm sure someone with a much deeper understanding of the toolset will correct me on this but, from what I can tell the boathouse does not have its own walk mesh. Working on that assumption I have come up with two ways to solve the problem. One I know works, and the other I'm fairly sure will work.
Now, if you'll look at the screenshots above you will see that the last one is in the toolset. I wanted to show the walk mesh I've set up for the boathouse. Notice that the boathouse has been rotated to line up with the edges of the mesh so that the walls of the house are right at the edge.
What I've done is lower the terrain to a height of 1. (Don't mess with the water level or you'll have to redo the entire shoreline) I did this using the the flatten tool. Make sure there is a clean break at the edge of the flat area. Now move the boardwalk over the flattened area and lower the boathouse so that the boardwalk is just barely above the land.
This will let you get to both doors while your character sinks about ankle deep into the boardwalk. Not pretty but, effective.
The other idea is to set up two docks on the shore in an L-shape and then move the boathouse into position so that the character is walking on the docks that are snugged up to the boathouse walls. Your character won't sink but, when the doors open they will be embedded in the docks slightly.
Either way it is messy but, should work in a pinch. _________________________ The toolset has gotten much better.
Oh, FYI for anyone who liked this area. I've got a new area that I've submitted. It's called, Cobolt Point. Look for it in the Prefab Areas in the next day or two. _________________________ The toolset has gotten much better.
Sure, Redhawk, I'd love to take a look at what you've done with the place. I've made my profile public so just send it to me. As to the issues, I'll take a look at them and let you know. I'm guessing the graveyard area is a case of too many placeables in one spot but, the boat house is going to be trouble. I had trouble with it from the beginning. I thought I'd solved that problem but, I guess not. Looks like there may be another update coming in a few days. _________________________ The toolset has gotten much better.

i have just spent a couple of hours reworking this mod to make it more "playable" . Ninthletter if you would like me to send this to you incase you might want to look at updating it with the reworked version. thre are 2 notable issues that i know of that i cant figure out how to fix
1) is the boat house i cant walk out onto it and to the door. all the walk meshes and terain look right and all settings are correct on the boathouse ??
2) is around the moseluem gate there is a small area there that it dont want to let you walk on. i have tried to fix this several ways and cannot i would love for someone else to look at this .
so anyone let me know if you want to see my reworked file it truley is alot more playable after reworking.

im having to do a subsantial amount of rework with the walk meshes and placable/envirment objectl to make this area useable, but i still stand by my previous statment that you have done a good job, and nice work with the screen shots
Ok, I've up dated the discription and sent the zip file to Max so it's coming. Again, sorry for the large file. _________________________ The toolset has gotten much better.
Hey Guys, Sorry about the size. I'm new to this uploading biz. It won't happen again. I've gotten Winzip and I'm going to send the zipped file to Max in a few. It's still slightly over 25MB so it has to go Link I'll send him a screenshot as well but, it will be hard to capture. _________________________ The toolset has gotten much better.
