Description

 ===========

Nine meshes, including three fireplaces, two andirons (fire dogs), two roasting spits, some burning logs, and an oven door.

 

Details

 =======

It always bothered me that castles in Oblivion were just theses featureless dungeons – “Castle Works” is my effort to provide a resource that give castles more of the character we see in the vanilla houses in each city. These meshes are designed to work with the vanilla castle tile sets and use all vanilla textures.

 

There are two types of fireplaces for use in a castle kitchen. The first is a modified version of the vanilla kitchen fireplace which has had the wooden framing removed and a proper mantle added, among other tweaks. The second is two versions of a “great fireplace” large enough to walk inside, as seen in many medieval kitchens.

 

There are also two andirons or “fire dogs”, metal uprights for logs to sit on which can support roasting spits. To go with the andirons, I’ve included an empty static roasting spit, and an animated one with a pig based on the one Mr Siika included in Castle Seaview (which was released as a modder’s resource). I used Mr Siika’s original pig and animations but built a new spit and collision built from scratch. I used boxes and three convex shapes for the collision, which should be less CPU intensive than a triangle mesh, and it allows for different collision materials on the pig and spit, respectively.

 

Finally, there are some burning logs based on the vanilla ones in Cloud Ruler Temple and an oven door which will fit either the original castle kitchen fireplace, or my new version. The door is iron with an iron flame, but it has a separate cement surround that should allow it to fit in most similarly shaped fireplaces you can find in many houses.
