(mis)adventures of Martin in Writing, Podcasting, and more
Get it together man Now that I have finished the “walls and halls”, it’s time to renovate the doors and remaining floors. I have finished almost all the ground textures though (well a few could used tweaked too). In the past, I just… Continue Reading “Doors and Floors”
Introfix After much wait and anticipation (more like I completely forgot to release it), TES Arena IntroFix is complete and can be downloaded here: http://www.nexusmods.com/tesarena/mods/4/? In this mod, I fixed three slides from the intro when you select new game. 3-Card monte I had… Continue Reading “Overdue request but the Mailman is IN”
The straight and narrow Some days I can blaze through images getting 5 or 6 done in a sitting, then other days just part of an image can take a couple days. When it comes to the Arena Depixelization Project (ADP), the easier ones… Continue Reading “Is that 80’s fashion?”
Slight pause Due to a fairly high RL tempo at the moment, I haven’t been able to work on ADP for a little while. I foresee having a little more time by the 2nd week of December. I don’t care for extended delays (well… Continue Reading “Dude, where’s my post”
On Demand Per request, I made a fixed text version of the intro in the original style of the game. I just have to convert it and then I’ll post a link to download it. Of course, ADP will feature the corrected version in… Continue Reading “Time-traveling Emperor?”

Letters from long ago After the recent work on the user interface, I decided to take a hack at changing the fonts. Arena fonts are stored as DAT files (the file extension that a lot of the text tables use). There are 9 separate font… Continue Reading “Alphabet Soup in Tamriel”
Interface One item that bothered me was that the interface elements didn’t really match. It seemed as each screen had it’s own style, particularly when you compare the “esc” menu and the inventory. Once I knew I could edit the inventory backgrounds, I wanted… Continue Reading “Polka dot shirts with checkered pants”
Compressed Quite of few TES:Arena IMG files are compressed in a crazy-wack-funky format that only the executable can decipher. No one has successfully found a way to decompress them. I had, quite a long time back, experimented with trying to replace them with uncompressed… Continue Reading “Sometimes it’s easier to walk around then straight through”
Silence I haven’t had a lot of time this summer but I have made tweaks here and there. There are a few textures I’ve done on another computer that I have yet to transfer over to my master files. Things have settled a little… Continue Reading “Picking back up steam”
