While doing a Google Image search for Oblivion piccies today I came across an interesting picture: The London Eye in Oblivion. Now, I've never seen this before but then again I don't keep very up-to-date with some of the crazy things the Oblivion community tries to do.

This picture is compliments of a satanic blogger (see: all bloggers are satanic, which includes myself, due to their ability to warp my mind into reading the entire blog and wasting my entire afternoon on non-sensical information). The article dates back to Oct 2006 so it's an oldy. Ho hum.

V1.2 of the Oblivion Construction Set can now be downloaded from the Official Elder Scrolls site.

But, before you download it, there are a few things you should know:

• You have to use the 1.2 patch for Oblivion as well, if you want to use this new version.
  
• When a mod is edited with the 1.2 version of the Construction Set, it can no longer be edited with the original version of Oblivion and the Construction Set.
  

So if you are working on a project with a group, you'll have to make sure you are all using the same version.
But I think (correct me if I'm wrong) you can still play the updated plugin without having to use the latest official patch. (Of course, downloading the latest official patch is always recommended)

Now, for the changes... I was expecting a large change log about half the size of the game's patch. I was wrong. Not many bugs were fixed. But there are new features.

The new feature:

'Spell checking functionality'
From all the features the community has suggested, I'm sure this one is what we've all been waiting for. Right.

Even though that's the only feature mentioned at the New Features section, at the Bug Fixes section it has a few more. Just take a look at the Patch Notes.

Hi folks,

I've been working over the past couple of days on a new addition to the site focusing on user uploaded images for ES games. Titled "Image Share", this new section allows any and all members of the site to upload their Elder Scrolls related pictures to the site to share with others. Users can comment and rate images in the database in the same way users can comment and rate files in the file database.

This feature can be used for anything you wish; showing off your character, providing beta screenshots for your current mod project or just to share something you thought looked cool. As the database gets populated with images and ratings I'll be adding a new feature to the front page of TESSource much in kin to typical "Picture of the Day" of "Featured Picture" features on other sites.

As with all new features on TESSource the system is in a beta stage and you folks are the beta testers so if you come across anything odd or any errors please file a bug report! If you have any suggestions for improvements (if it's a search feature to look for images uploaded by specific authors don't worry, it's coming) then let yourself be heard. I can't add it if you don't let me know!

Don't wait, login to your account and start uploading your Elder Scrolls pictures!

Yesterday Dark0ne asked me if I wanted to help with the site news. And... Yeah. I did. So here I am. So for those who don't know me... I'm a 'forum regular', quest modder and now staff member. I play Oblivion and played Morrowind. I'm waiting for Spore and will probably buy Supreme Commander too. These two games also have their own Source site here.

What you can expect from me:

• Posts of new interviews/reviews/news on the Elder Scrolls games.
• News on big or special mods that are either WIP's (Work In Progress) or released already. This includes Morrowind mods.
• News on all kinds of Elder Scrolls sites.

I will probably focus on the mod news, but if I stumble upon something interesting, I'll post it here too.

"The Grey Leader", project manager for the MERP Mod for Oblivion has taken part in an interview with The Chamber of Records. I don't know much about this mod since I rarely lurk around the official forums but it could quite possibly be from the foundations of the folks who worked on an early mod for Oblivion which brought certain aspects of Middle-Earth to life. Don't quote me on that though. Talking of quotes, here's a snippet:

COR: From what I've heard, you're very cautious with showing your mod to the community. Can you explain why?

Grey: Quite simple really, forbidden fruit is the sweetest. Actually it goes much deeper, there are many advantages to keeping the "hype" down. One thing I really enjoy about having a smaller fan base and a relatively quiet mod is that more work gets done. I don't have to waste time keeping my site up to date, or constantly reply to forum members, nor deal with the many headaches of a large community, especially in times of disagreement. Least of all, I also don't want to cause a legal stir if I can avoid it. I've already made it quite clear in the past that I won't quite modding this project weather I can or cannot release it, I simply enjoy doing what I do, so I'll just keep working on it until it's done. But to me, private seems the best.

You can find the full interview on the Chamber of Records forum.

I'll refrain from my personal opinions in this news post and see if anyone has any good comments on the mod!
