Decorating a Halas Home


That’s what I spent most of my Sunday doing, and thanks to Hamal and those grotto quests, my Halas home is very slowly working it’s way to being completed. Of course this is just one room, but I’m pretty dang happy with it.

I do plan on adding grass squares to the floor, more flowers, and a few other little bits to ‘complete’ the look, but the majority is done and I’m incredibly happy with it. I do have to admit that working with the EQ2 house layouts is a LOT of fun. It was a project I wanted to get into. If you’re interested the first thing you should do is pick up the layout editor that a player has created. This is a program you can use (and there are tutorials to explain all about it) to do the mathematical calculations involved in moving an item from say, the floor, to the wall. It took me a bit to figure it out, considering I’m not the most mathematically inclined, but now that I have the hang of it, I’m really loving it.

I hope everyone else had a fantastic weekend as well, and happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!
