There are mainland versions of every faction, including the Great Houses, and I believe Indoril and Dres will be joinable when further maps are released.

What is Tamriel Rebuilt? What is Tamriel Rebuilt? It's a mod you should install and never play without. You should load it even if you never planning on going there. It'll give you something to stare at when you're standing on the beach.

Hell, go there even if you don't plan on going there. Port Telvannis, Necrom, Firewatch, Kemel-Ze. All are fantastic. The whole mod is fantastic. It's pretty much the unofficial third, fourth, and fifth expansion just by how much content there is.

Noted. Is there anywhere specific I should download it? I've done a bit of googling and I found something called Sacred East but I'm not entirely sure if that's what I'm supposed to be looking for.

I've done a bit of googling and I found something called Sacred East but I'm not entirely sure if that's what I'm supposed to be looking for. There are currently three chapters in the Tamriel Rebuilt series. They team is doing it in parts because the whole thing would take forever to release as a single package. The Sacred East is the name of the most recent chapter, but it's all you need to get everything released so far. Here is the official download which, as I said, contains both Sacred East and the two earlier chapters.

I am still patiently awaiting Tamriel Rebuilt to be completely finished before reinstalling Morrowind and all of the graphical mods and then wasting away the next several hundred hours of my life. So in about 10 years.  Kaubocks posted:Noted. Is there anywhere specific I should download it? I've done a bit of googling and I found something called Sacred East but I'm not entirely sure if that's what I'm supposed to be looking for. All you need is Sacred East, which is all three of the released maps so far.

I'm changing it in the installer, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I should be changing it in the MGE XE part, right? What currently happens is the game becomes a borderless 1280x720 window in the middle of my screen, with the bottom part obscured by my taskbar. This happens regardless of whether or not I hit windowed mode or fullscreen mode.

I just did this and it seems to be working fine. I skipped all of the files in /patches/ and /replacers/ and then went through the /installers/ and dropped all of the graphic ones and morrowindpatch. The only other thing I had to do was dl particle arrow replacer and install the area effect arrow fix to make the particle arrows included with MGSO work with the area effect arrows in oggum's. Be sure to sort your load order with mlox, make a mashed patch, and rebuild the distant land through MGSO options (or MGEXEgui if you want to tweak the details). So far I haven't run into any problems but I haven't played too much since I'm still tweaking my mods and the graphics settings.

MGSO doesn't appear to want you to install anything on top of it, but I actually installed IT on top of my existing installation of mods, and it worked just fine. Except for the fact it enabled every single one of my mods, including older versions, compatibility patches for mods I didn't have, and the like. Granted, I'm not as mod-heavy as some people (TR, Julan, LGNPC, and utility mods), but as long as you don't overwrite any files when you install other mods, you should be fine. Of course, I have 11 years experience dealing with mods, so if you're new, you may just want to take it slow and not start dumping mods in.

You definatley don't want to run Oggumogoggums pack and MGSO at the same time, I think. However, if you stick to adding gameplay/content mods post-MGSO, you should be fine. Like this MGEX distant light mod: http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/mods/42165

I'm using it on the "Good" MGSO preset (Core Duo, GTX 285, 8 gigs ram) I don't see any real slowdown, but it does force MGEX to render distant objects, which may cause slowdown if your computer can't handle it.

There is a working link up top in the steam section (http://download.fliggerty.com/download-58-141). Fixed. Also, sorry I haven't been around much the past few days. I had a pretty big deadline yesterday and thinking straight is still a bit of a chore. I'll probably get MSGO 3.0 installed and put all the recommended mods in the OP in the next few days (plus some experiments with MSGO and Ogg's megapack which I keep putting off). I'm planning on doing a major reorganization of the OP once the game experience mod gets released. In other news, I was downloading Nifskope a couple months ago in preparation for making a mod I've been putting off forever, remembered that I had the V-Ray Demo installed, and wondered what would happen if I threw a few Morrowind assets at it. Here is my first result:  For the terrain, I used a command line tool I found called TESAnnwyn, which can read .esm files and create a heightmap from them.

Alright, two questions. 1) Can I disable the horrible depth-of-field effect I'm getting from MSGO 3.0 somewhere? I look a little bit over a person's shoulder and their face gets blurry and it's driving me crazy. 2) Is Hand-to-Hand even useable in this game? Normally I play unarmed in Bethesda games but I just had a punching match with the first bandit in the first cave outside of Seyda Neen and it took absolutely forever though I think I was missing with most of my punches. It doesn't do damage unless they've fallen over due to lack of fatigue, right? Even then I eventually just whipped out a bow and shot her in the face.

So aside from graphical improvements, what do people recommend in terms of gameplay tweaks or stuff that just makes the game better/more fun to play? Tamriel Rebuilt and Less Generic NPCs both seem to come pretty highly recommended, so I'm picking those up, but looking over the OP I don't really see much else along those lines aside from BTB's mod and the leveling changes. Are there other things I should be looking out for or is that basically it? Also, for LGNPC, should I just get the combined download off the project website or do I need to pick up the Nerevarine/Tribunal/Bloodmoon mods off Planet Elder Scrolls too? The descriptions on PES say that they're not "official" yet, but I don't know how up-to-date that is. Opposing Farce fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Oct 6, 2012 |

So I'm trying to install Oggum's megapack of mods and just jump into the game. The readme says to use them in Wrye Mash, but when I open the installers tab it's empty, even though I've copied them into the Morrowind folder. EDIT: Nevermind, the Mods directory on Wrye Mash was incorrect in the Settings. My bad, I've never really modded any game before.

Looks like you missed a ] when fixing that link Musical_daredevil. Also the construction set link in the 3rd post still points to tesnexus instead of http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/mods/29388 Thanks for all the resources in the OP.Opposing Farce posted:So aside from graphical improvements, what do people recommend in terms of gameplay tweaks or stuff that just makes the game better/more fun to play?

Are there other things I should be looking out for or is that basically it? LGNPC is amazing both in scope and quality. The latest combined pack is rather old so you will still have to get the Nerevarine/Tribunal/Bloodmoon ones too. A leveler mod is really to taste. Alternately you could get something like this that makes you get at least +3 for an attribute if you gain at least 1 skill point for it. I wouldn't recommend using one that gives +5 all the time since you will turn into a demi-god that much faster. You might be interested in Creatures X or the NX9 creatures mod which I think are compatible with each other if you merge the leveled lists. There's also the Thief experience overhaul which makes makes some good changes to that aspect of the game.

Well, I finally managed to get MSGO 3.0 installed, despite the fact that so many things went wrong. Half of it was my laptop mysteriously forgetting that it had a discrete graphics card and the other half was me suddenly realizing that my expansion disks are hundreds of miles away, meaning I couldn't uninstall and reinstall Morrowind before adding the new version. The reason why I'm telling you this is because it means that installing MSGO 3.0 on top of a 2.0 installation is a viable (if risky) option. If you don't want to go through the tedious process of getting a clean install before adding 3.0, you don't need to. There's the obvious "this is just my experience, yours may be different" disclaimer and I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way, but it's possible.

Here's kind of an odd, specific request: Are there any mods that change how knocking people unconscious with HTH works? I like the idea of rolling through a cave or whatever and punching bandits out Batman-style instead of outright killing them, but the way everyone gets back up and keeps fighting even after they've been knocked down just makes the whole fatigue damage mechanic kind of terrible and pointless. e: Another thing- I'm interested in the edited Better Music System mod from Gyshall posted:For gameplay - pretty much everything here - http://btb2.free.fr/morrowind.html Opposing Farce fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Oct 8, 2012 |

I installed it on top of a heavily modded Morrowind, complete with the Code Patch and a prior version of MGE XE, and it worked fine. I THEN nuked Morrowind's folder, reinstalled cleanly, and installed the overhaul on top of a clean Morrowind (as it had asked), because Morrowind was horrendously unstable. Still isn't working properly. I'm not sure if it's because of MGEXE (I had only previously been using MGE) or something else, but it's not standard Morrowind unstable, it's 'crash every 5 minutes' unstable. Anyone have any thoughts? If this keeps up I may disable MGEXE as an experiment, and if that settles it, revert to MGE.

Checked its log, saw it still injected the MWSE, tried it with that disabled, still crashed. The problem doesn't appear to be MGEXE, which means its with the Overhaul itself, which makes me sad. Only thing left for it now- reinstall (again) and see if my save works without it.

I downloaded MGSO and it installed fine. I'd never run into any framerate problems using previous mods on my older computer (Core 2 Duo 3 ghz/8800GT) but this one runs about 10-12 fps once I leave the ship at the beginning. If I make those shader changes in the OP, should that do it, or will I need to perform additional surgery? Game looks phenomenal so I don't want to change too much but obviously I can't play at 10 fps.

It'd be preferable for you to go ahead and follow the various advice in the OP and let us know if it doesn't improve your FPS. Know this, though: You probably won't get the game running at the FPS you think it should be running at, even if you're on some sort of megadork gaming rig. It's an old game and it's not written to take advantage of newer PC components like multi-threading CPUs or large amounts of RAM. Places like Seyda Neen and Balmora are places where the FPS drops for virtually everyone. If you can get a stable 35-40 FPS out of the game while maintaining some eye candy, consider yourself good.

I have a Core 2 Duo 3 ghz CPU and an 8800 GT videocard. 4 GB RAM. I did a standard MGSO install, letting it choose the settings. I went into MGEXEgui and turned off shaders entirely, and it only gave me a 3-5 fps boost, so I'm guessing there is a lot more to be done with the other settings.

Oh, by "older computer" I thought you meant your previous experience on another PC. If shaders aren't impacting performance, try this (I posted this a while back.) Cream-of-Plenty posted:A few more things I've discovered, which are especially relevant to laptop players: Basically, the new lighting system can really impact performance, especially on an older GPU like yours. I don't usually like disabling shadows (it's a big draw of using MGE-XE and they look great) but they can hurt your performance. The instructions I posted should be able to set you up so you can toggle these things, on-the-fly, without having to exit the game. That way you can try different combinations and see where the performance sinks are.
