I've never actually beaten either the Mage's Guild or Main Quest as a mage, so I've reinstalled! Here's my current mod list, I'd appreciate recommendations for any other immersion or difficulty type mods, as you'll notice "things that make it harder" and "things related to Ashfall" is 90% of the list. Also, is there no mod that lets you block automatically with a weapon? I know "shields up" allows Oblivion style manual blocking, but I'd prefer it be automatic, I just won't want to use a shield with this mage. Mods posted:#Mod_Name Oh yeah, the new animation blending mod is extremely good; I imagine if you're someone that prefers to play Elder Scrolls games in third person this is a god send. I tend to go into third person while walking around town, and it's a noticeable improvement. EDIT- Oooooh Merlod created a mod called DRIP, that adds diablo style weapon properties. Has anyone tried this? I'd like to use if it's not too powerful. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 13, 2023 |

I'll see if I can tune DRIP down some, I like to delay the power curve as much as possible.

I'm looking to make my second ever Morrowind mod and wanted to ask a few basic questions at the start. I'd like to make a small mod that makes magicka always regen at the same rate as resting, so you get just a bit back while moving around the game world. Every mod I can find currently sets it much higher, to the point that it drastically changes the game. I'm not sure what's considered appropriate in the modding community, but I feel like the fastest way to do this would be to load up an existing mod and just change some numbers then publish my own version? But that might be considered stealing someone else's work? Could I just maybe provide proper attribution and credits when uploading the mod? I'd guess this mod requires...scripting? I'd appreciate any articles or videos people could recommend about how to do that. I'm not a programmer but I do create XML scripts at work so I feel like this should be something I can wrap my head around, but if anyone has any advice to get me started I'd appreciate it. I wanted to get this post into the thread at the start, so currently I don't really have a clue how what this modding process will look like at a high level, I've only just gotten the creation kit reinstalled I'm poking around online for guides. Edit - I found a good base mod, and loading it up in the tool kit I can see the custom script set to load on game start, so really I just edit this and then save it as my own .ESP?

You could do a lua where you can have a config page where there's a regen slider, and the mod adds 1 magic point to the player every amount of ticks proportional to how slid the slider is? There may be some gotchas such as if you aren't careful it will "regen" you past your max. One way to avoid that is instead of hooking into onload, hook yourself into onspellcasted or onmagicdrained / damaged. if i'm right this doesn't exactly work lol. you'd need to start with say, hooking onload, checking to see if tutorial finished, if it's finished check to see if atronoch, if it's there, you're done. If it's not there, also hook the set of events to know the state where you need to be adding mp to the player. Then do the set of functions that will actually read the slider value and add the mp when the hooks hook. alternately just add some kinda fake starsign that regens player magic the normal way. There may even be a way to do this while still making it adjustable by the player from within the game without it being an insane bullshit mess. There probably is a "restore mp" that doesn't actually shoot a spell onto you and isn't going to go past your max? You could skip all the bullshit about manually adding mp and dicking around with conditions and hooks and have it continually just restore some juice periodically if you can figure out how to do the config page. You'd still need to onload, check if tutorial finished & not atronach sign, start regen etc. if not finished load the hook for when it finishes and then have it start regen normally. I still have my install somehow all rear end backwards and need to reinstall and figure out how to do config pages tbh, so i couldn't even basically jerk around and test to see if i'm on the right track.

If I run tes3cmd clean, and it returns "was not modified", does that mean the mod was already clean? All I did in the mod was create (paste) a script, then add that script to the start scripts section, so I don't think I actually have anything (objects, cells, etc) to clean?

I'm having the weirdest modded Morrowind experience of my life where I dumped like 200 mods on top of the game, got all my MGE configs set up, launched the game and it just... ran. No weird issues or conflicts, no crashes, hell the game doesn't even crash when I close it! In over 15 years of modding this game I've never had anything even remotely close to this smooth of an experience, it rules.

I made a mod that gives a very slow real-time mana regen. It's nothing like the mana regen in Oblivion or Skyrim, but it sooths the part of my brain that hates that the mana will never, ever go up unless I rest. Some examples would be that in 5 minutes a character with no magical aptitude could re-cast Balyna's Soothing Balm, while in that time your average starting mage could re-cast Ondusi's Open Door, and notable mage could re-cast Summon Greater Bone Walker.

I dream of an OpenMW mod that lets me put things in a backpack, so I can leave my backpack in my rented room before I go check out the new town I've just arrived in. And that ashland survival one with drinking water and getting cold in the rain. Stranger in a strange land from one rented room in an inn to the next.

Yeah my latest modlist is like that, way more stable then my mostly only viva new vegas mods New Vegas install with a lot less mods. Probably helps that I stopped trying to get texture/model mods for every single thing and just stick with intelligent textures, bug fix mods, and BCOM as the main mods, with everything else being feature mods like mantling from Thief, area, and quest mods that I know don't conflict with each other's areas. Has anyone tried this mod? Seems like 90+ quests would mean they aren't very high quality and might lead to compatibility but the vampire clans are pretty thin in content so I was curious: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49486

I'm level 11 on a permadeath, non-cheesy playthrough of Morrowind and I really dunno if I'm going to make it - I'm to the point where I'm poking my head into higher tier areas like Deadric ruins and trying to fight the people inside because I really need to up my gear from Imperial Steel and Iron FlameMace, but the stuff in there can absolutely kill me if I don't handle them correctly. As a player I don't have any sort of Encyclopedic knowledge of where the good loot is so I'm just sort of picking tough fights and waiting to find something special. It's a huge risk though, there's people in these places that can hit for a third of my health or with very dangerous abilities and two or three times lately I've only just managed to get out my amulet of recall before they killed me.

Yeah, I'm fortunate enough to never really retain the knowledge of where, say, the unattended ebony weapons are, or whatever. But if you played a character that couldn't benefit from most gear (a pure mage?) and installed a mod like MDMD to change up the hard fights, you could probably do it. Here's what I'd say is the core of the list:
I've been playing for tens of hours and I've spent all of it firmly stuck at the bottom of end of the usually meteoric power surge. I did just loot a full set of Master's alchemy gear though, and it looks like now I can craft Healing Potions equal to or better than the Quality Restore Health; being able to spam those is going to allow me to face tank a LOT of enemies; I'm going straight back to a Deadric Shrine I had to flee from because I was fighting a Dremora Lord that had summoned his own Dremora. Really though, being able to face down tougher enemies more cavalierly is probably going to get me killed - face tanking enemies with potent potions is going to work until it doesn't. Ugh, I still haven't reached the Urshilaku camp - I was traveling up the Foyada, peeked into a ancestor shrine, and got beaten half to death by I don't know who, Dunmer in bonemold armor that seemed to have killed innocent people. Must be some quest, might be touched by MDMD because every one of them hits like a truck.

Honestly once you take down a couple of dremora lords you'll probably have some near endgame weapons, between that and hitting the alchemy milestone I think you're past the worst until you get killed by some stupid unbalanced tribunal enemy that kills you immediately with a stick that has higher attack power than a daedric katana. I tried to play somewhat blind in my recent playthrough but apparently some of these gear locations are just permanent lodgers in my brain from a formative age. I suspect there could be useful things there instead. I'll be wandering around the loving nursing home looking in the second left food bin for a powerful pair of trousers.

Yeah, I can already see I'm at a tipping point where I'm beating deadra with routine supplies and effort. But the two dremora lords I've killed so far had dwemer equipment and I'm glad they're already dead so they can't see how disappointed I am. I have Beware the Sixth House installed so I'll still probably get punched to death under Red Mountain. I took a detour and played the console release on a cool Xbox and it's remarkable how well it holds up. i think this will actually be the next way I play the game.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Edit: worked it out, essential indicators was interacting weirdly with it. Reinstalling them both fixed it.

Vadun posted:This is cool. Your math seems a little off here though: Ah, you're probably right, I just did some napkin math there and probably messed something up. Anecdotally I can say it lets a 75 magicka 55 will power change do things like cast a few utility spells (like conjure a dagger for animal skinning and soothing balm) and have the mana stay more or less stable. Regarding regen, playing again on the xbox has reminded me of how I used to handle healing: I would Just Sleep: conking out for three or four hours after every fight is the path of least resistance when you consider that it's faster to access and execute than a healing spell and has no logistical constraints. Throw down with a nix hound? Sleep a bandit then sleep yourself. Sleep in the wilderness and welcome every interruption as more loot and more long blade practice.

Friends, I have never touched Morrowind before and am about to. I grabbed it from GOG and will be going MGSE rather than OpenMW. My plan is to throw... let's see... MGE, the code patch, I guess the Enhanced Textures, into MO2 and fire it up. After I play a while I'm sure I'll spiral into the modding hole, never to see the light of day again. But for now, I just want to Play Morrowind and go from there. Is there anything I really need to know or any land mines I'm about to step on? I actually know next to nothing about the game, the story, the lore. I'm sure I'll be back with a Brand New Player trip report for all of you to laugh at and get all wistful about.

Fatigue is the most important thing in the entire game. If you can't hit something, or pick a lock, or cast a spell, it's mostly because you've been running. Other than that, if you use the weapon you're most skilled in at character creation, rather than whatever else you find lying around, you should be good.
