Lurtzello Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Are you proud of your perfectly arranged guests room yet no one comes visit it? Do you want to show off your 100% completion but you feel your server's population is too small? Or perhaps you want to point out a design philosophy and share it to create a discussion? Whichever the case may be, you have come to the right thread! One in which to post videos, screenshots and descriptions of your Stronholds. You have asserted your power across the Galaxy, now bask in it on the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurtzello Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I'll start off with a video of my an early and crude version, I'll be sure to update with more videos and screenshots as I improve upon it once i get more decorations. in the meantime, I'm curious to see what you guys have come up with!

Lurtzello Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) link is incorrect m8 Oh, thanks for the notice, it should work now. I'd copied/pasted it twice by mistake and when cleaning it up I have missed a couple of pieces Edited August 21, 2014 by Lurtzello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCrol Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 With hook system it must me thousands of items to make this strongholds look different, interesting lo explore while u cant be creative to make something from this boring things. Also its not good that you can see all ingame items so you will never find something what you never saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that his place looks very different from mine and we're still basically only using the base items you get, I'd say it's very possible to make strongholds look different and interesting to explore.

dr_mike Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) One of the things I've noticed is that seems like folks are putting things in perfect alignment. How organized is your home/ house/ apartment/ room in your parent's basement/ etc? Turn those chairs 30 degrees in alignment. Turn that companion off center. Hide that pet behind some crates since all those speeders scare him. Use the x, y and rotation settings to push the chairs under the table. Turn the shelving around 180 degrees so that at least it looks a little different than the others. Give it a lived in feel. I wish we had a way to like overturn a chair or a crate. Clothes on the floor. Pet droppings.... Edited August 21, 2014 by dr_mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point of view and I may set up other Strongholds this way, but in defense of the symmetrical, aligned and clean design: do you not clean up before you have guests? Wouldn't a mansion capable of hosting the highest ranking dignitaries coming to visit a Dark Council member/Jedi Master/Havoc Squad Leader/the Wrath/etc. be always kept in pristine conditions?

Most items are placed carefully with good angles chairs/tables and aligned perfectly to make it feel like real place Will make video soon.

I only would have a question, how did you get hold of that Manaan FP music...has it been made downloadable as other SWTOR music files? if so, can you provide the link? I am just amazed by that tune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just amazed by that tune... I just had it running in the background as a looped YouTube video (alternatively I could've downloaded and put it in with an editing software but I was in a bit of a hurry at the time). The reason I've used it instead of the SWTOR audio is that all those mounts on the stairs and in the last room make their spawning sound once the character is close enough and, in particular, in the starting balcony they can be heard spawning and despawning just by moving around. Edit: by the way, that soundtrack was first introduced in KOTOR and could be heard when visiting the planet's main settlement: .
