    I am guilty of these crimes. What is your sentence? (PS. The wooden beam is a later structural intervention, I was worried the frame wall would be a little cluttered.)

    Planning Test Guides

    Hey all, I've been wanting for some time to catalogue all the in-game guides that we have in our test world. There are some really great guides but I don't know which ones are still relevant or useful, which is where I could use some help. Below is a list of all the in game-guides, their warps...

    King's Landing Remaster Discussion Thread

    What a well-written and thought out plan Emote, this sounds great. I'm most interested in how you plan to delegate leadership of each "chunk." What I think you might be hinting at is that each chunk could be treated as a mini-build with the mod team (or selects mods) acting as project leaders...

    Here's what I had in mind. Close studding originated and is most commonly found in East Anglia, of which the best parallel is perhaps the southern Crownlands (around and in the Kingswood, which is currently mostly undeveloped) and northern Stormlands (north of Griffin's Roost, including Tarth...

    Also an additional note for Thamus_Knoward and Emotione11 with regards to the close-studded block; it should appear as though all the studs are of a uniform thickness, not alternating thicknesses (as it appears above). I imagine this would just involve trimming the sides down a bit and widening...

    Westeroscraft Texture Pack Megathread

    As far as I know, the intention was not to hide the timbers, the colouring is just a consequence of the limewashing process, which is a functional process rather than a decorative one (the lime is toxic to wood boring insects, and is also a form of weatherproofing). In my opinion, there is a...

    Westeroscraft Texture Pack Megathread

    Here's an idea for a regional colour variant which is near and dear to my heart: limewashed timbers. The dark timbers and pale or white infill panels (the spaces between the timbers) are in large part a 19th century romantic view of the past. In the Victorian period, when brick and stone became...

    Oh and forgot to add that it would look great if it had vertical CTM as well.

    Westeroscraft Texture Pack Megathread

    If there was any possibility of adding just one new D&W timber shape I would advocate for this one. The block would allow for close studding, which is a common style in the Southern U.K. and IMO not so flashy as the others to instantly outdate what we currently have. I think it would look great...

    I agree but as Emote suggested, it should be added as a variant. Horizontal D&W doesn't look bad necessarily, so a huge effort to replace horizontal D&W wouldn't be requisite. Both can be used together. Some square-panel frames feature horizontal panels, usually above and/or below windows. Imo...

    Thanks for the clarification Emote, I think having a vertical D&W would be excellent, and as you say, the KL update might be the perfect proving ground. Not sure why none of the photos are turning up, here's an imgur link with all of them. As for converted timbers, I get your point. Fence and...

    Second mini request: Seeing un-converted tree logs disappear from the common server palette is wonderful, but as a result there are no longer any timbers in timber framed buildings besides what one might assume is studding from the aforementioned W&D. Any way we could retexture a log which...

    I've sent this to Tham privately previously but wanted to post here to open up the discussion about timber framing styles on the server (I'm aware these requests have probably already been made somewhere, but want to add my voice of support): Currently, CTM for W&D connects horizontally. I...

    Withdrawn Project Application: House Bourney by bobbycatfisher

    Yeah I saw that, I just figured it was placed there before the nearby inn was built, making the area more crowded, so it should probably be moved further east.

    Withdrawn Project Application: House Bourney by bobbycatfisher

    There is a canon location called Middleton, along the Blackwater Rush. The current positioning seems a little strange, so for now I wouldn't recommend including it with Bourney. As a side note, I've drawn a border through the area south of Bourney, don't feel the need to change your plans, I...
