Sigurð Stormhand Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 :redface:So, I got fed up with there being no animated portcullis in the game, so I made one. It's in the downloads section. *Runs away and hides.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 *watches portcullis bob up and down in Nifskope**keeps watching**minutes pass*Does seem to do the job, ayup. Also works quite well as a tired Dwip distractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigurð Stormhand Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Also, you (may) notice that I used the "heavywoodclose" sound for the final bit where the portcullis closes, I'm not completely satisfied but the crash-bang-rusty-gears sound for the fort gates was a complete bust, any ideas?

Dwip Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 @Sigurd - It works just fine so far as I can tell. But it moves, and me and moving things when I'm tired is kind of like swinging a ball of yarn in front of a cat. I'll watch it forever and occasionally try to bat it.I'd probably go with the gears, myself, but it's awfully hard to get the right sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndalayBay Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Arthmoor, what are you using for OCR in Chorrol? Specifically whenever I exit Fire and Steel or The Oak and Crosier near the gate, I hear a very loud wooden thud sound. It's actually rather annoying because I have no idea what causes it. Anyway if you could track down that sound, Sigurd, it might suit your purposes rather nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The portcullis in OCR Chorrol isn't animated though. You sure you're not just hearing the normal exit door sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Kaira Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 No, it sounds more like one of the signs is banging around when you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like something slamming down. And it's a wood sound, so it would probably be perfect for Sigurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ah, havok. Such fun we have. If it's a stuck sign, I'm not sure where the sound for that is actually generated. Impact collision is handled by the material types on the meshes and doesn't have a specified sound entry in Oblivion.esm as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndalayBay Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hmmm. Sigurd, maybe you could stick a board under the porticullus then and get the sound you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
