Connect Your Homes with Portals (Today)

    Just when you think R_K has reached the upper limits of what's possible with Essential Housing Tools, along comes Portals!

    I visited a home yesterday where these portals were placed, and was blown away, yet again, by his amazing talent for making magic come to life.

    The housing community is so very blessed to have you Cardi. Without you, housing was fun. With you, housing has become stellar.

    The fact that Eseental FX has side-stepped the item limit is bonus!

    So much fun! :blush:

    I'm just so blown away by this. As players, I think we all wish housing could be more useful. I remember in Ultima Online man folks created "Rune Libraries" where players could come and port to various locations around the map. I can definitely see the potential for guilds to create something similar in their halls using EHT's portals.

    Here's the beginnings of the Pretty Deadly transit system I've been working on. Sorry about the poop video quality. Video capture is not one of my strong suits. :P

    @R_K , is there anything you cannot do? I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you truly are a miracle worker! o:)

    I've had the "Disconnected Transitus Shrine" from the pvp achievement vendor in Cyrodiil for years now, and I always wished it would work... well... now, it does! B) I placed it in my Cyrodiil War Memorial and your portal is just perfect for it

    I also managed to slyly place one inside my Gold Coast Keg.. (when it's closed, you don't see it) it's a real secret passage now!

    Many thanks again for all you do for all of us! I told the guild the other day that I feel like a kid in a candy store... it's so hard to contain my excitement and I want to sample everything

    You put the paint brushes in the artists' hands with EHT and FX. <3

    Hey @everyone on my twitch stream tonight (approximately 5 pm mountain time, USA, www.twitch.tv/cryhavok101) I plan on doing Essential Housing Tools tutorials. If you have been avoiding using it cause it's a complex and intimidating add-on, come see it's mysteries revealed. FX, furniture manipulation, and animations all. Come ask any questions you have and I'll demonstrate how to do all the things you want. I hate the idea that anyone might be missing out on all the awesome things it can do, so please stop by.

    I'm having sooooo much fun playing with portals! I spent the day in the Pretty Deadly laboratory assembling a prototype of the Tamriel Automated Relocation Device and Instant Soup-maker™. Nirn's first personal teleportation device (and soup-maker). I call it the uh....TARDIS for short. :p The device can currently be attuned to 6 of an individual's favorite abodes and gee whiz cracker jacks it just looks super duper snazzy and stuff! Ahyup!


    Given we at PD Labs can obtain the proper funding - and the device doesn't cause a massive tear in the space/time continuum thus obliterating all life as we know it - we expect these beauties to be in stores across Tamriel right in time for New Life! (forthelowlowpriceof allyourgoldandotherpreciousthings) Place your orders early as they are disappearing fast! Get it? Disappearing! HA!

    Disclaimer: We at PD Labs cannot account for the origin of the soups the TARDIS produces - as they seem to be a byproduct of the inter-dimensional translocationality of the portal jumping whosey-whatsit thingee™. We can say the soups generally have a pleasant tomatoey flavor akin to Campbell's, but they have been known to bite...from time to time. Please note: PD Labs accepts no liability in the event an individual is devoured - in part or in full - by their soup.

    It's so great they're doing that @Krainor1974 ! EHT really changes how we can play with our houses. I''m not a streamer, but maybe I can make some tutorials for Youtube. I just want everyone to know about the add-on. It's hands-down the best for Homestead. :)

    Well he’s in our guild so we support em every way he can. Most important thing is reporting any bugs or problems so he can get right on them and make eht better for everyone’s experience. He’s the best being he does all of this just to give us a better homestead experience. One of my most favorite things is weather.

    Hello, I just downloaded the addon, just tell me one thing:

    What do you mean "Share your FX with your friends over Chat or Mail"? For players to have access, should I share something with them? How do I do this?

    Is there any tutorial I can follow?

    Amazing work, really.

    Hi @FabresFour ! there is a tab in FX where it allows you to share your data over chat or mail.
    You can either enter a particular player's name, or send to an entire guild.
    Cardi has tutorials inside EHT.
    Also, check out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnp3soEiXWH4vXWM5FUEqw

    I was more hoping for a chat command, something like how you can do /script in chat and have a short expression. But the Housing Hub works too.
    Check out /house

    BTW are you are Unix sysprog? They're the only people who seem to prefer typing an obscure command over clicking a button.

    So like...uh... @R_K , like uh...what about portals that teleport players to other areas of the same house? Can this be a thing? Because...I have this dream of building a portal that when you fall through it teleports you to a portal right in the air above it, so you fall into it again, and over and over and over forever. Please help me make my inter-dimensional nightmar...err...dreams come true. Help me break time/space. Pwetty please Cardi with a cute guar on top?

    This is the question i also want to ask :) thank you so much for the portals @R_K they are amazing . when it would be possible to port in between the house ( so no stairs longer needed ) you should be praised ;)

    They have to have eht and updated ( it’s updated almost everyday and sometimes several times a day ). Send them the info to house with portal and when they arrive they should see the effects. You can mail them the info so they can go to ur home even when u offline.

    I know he’s working on something like that but several want options to be able to turn off the ability to receive the mails.
    Give him sometime because that is on his list.

    Wait - what!? @mayasunrising Once -- no, sorry -- twice again you blow us away with your ability to combine cool design, scene-based animations, trigger-based automation and FX to create something never-before possible. Not only must I thank you for sharing these Portal Machines with the community but I also need to thank you for showcasing all of the capabilities of Essential Housing Tools. I hope that videos like yours inspire even more people to join the EHT train, spark interest in Housing and catch the eye of @ZOS_GinaBruno and the Housing / UI Team at ZeniMax.

    Between yourself, @Krainor1974 and everyone else that continues to post videos like these that highlight Housing, EHT and the possibilities, I feel like we are in a really great spot as a community. Thank you very, very much. <3<3<3
