Thanks again John.

I guess that it's not possible to continue my saved games now that I've moved to 3.1? I loaded an earlier save (where I was still doing the previous quest) so that I could start the quest with Tate from scratch, but now there seems to be some problems. Throughout the city, two of each character can be seen walking around, some earlier scripts seem to be re-running themselves, and my framerate has fallen into the single digits.

I'm only loading Arktwend_English.esm in the data files list, but when I loaded a save game from before my update, it says that the master file is different from the saved game. That didn't surprise me as I knew that already, but then it says that the local count for "rune arka" doesn't match, so it wants to re-initialize. I chose "yes to all", and then the game loaded with the above problems.

If I have to start over, it's okay. I want to try a different character build anyway.

Thanks for all your work on this John!

No, I do not think it is possible to use a savegame from previous versions with 3.1, too many things changed. You could decide to try to go on with your current version (possible, but you will encounter other bugs), or else do some major savegame surgery with Enchanted Editor (very difficult) to get the savegame to work with 3.1, or start over fresh with 3.1.

So I am receiving an error about Meshes/Cursor.NIF is missing?

can anyone please help?

Sounds like a general Morrowind install problem. If http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1082028-failed-to-load-cursor-meshescursornif-whaaat/page__p__15762102__hl__cursornif__fromsearch__1&#entry15762102 doesn't work, then please post your Warnings.txt and load order.

Failed to load cursor: Meshes\cursor.nif.
"Meshes\cursor.nif cannot load file"

And all I have is the Arktwend English.ESM

Have you tried a complete re-install of Morrowind, ensuring your anti-virus is off during the install, as Pluto suggested in the link I posted above?

This was the third time I re-installed it...I figured out the other problems..this one I haven't...if anyone has a copy of that file they can just send it too me Via email....

Meshes/Cursor.nif is supposed to be inside of Morrowind.bsa. Do you have all the .bsa files in your Arktwend "Data Files" directory?
You should be able to extract cursor.nif from Morrowind.bsa using a tool like bsaunpack if you actually need that separate file, but it's unlikely that's the problem.

Well I got it too run...for now...I will post later with update thanks for the help

Thanks again for the earlier help, John. I just finished the main quest, without any more game-stopping problems. There were some minor error flags, usually with missing textures, but selecting to continue the game didn't present any problems. The only texture that looked weird was the head of any lizardman who was wearing a helmet. This would erase their faces, (or make them really small, I'm not sure), but it didn't affect gameplay in any way.

The only thing I'm confused about was plot related:

If you can give me some ids of textures or the items they appear on, I can look into that. AFAIK, there are no missing textures. I love to get feedback, but I can't really do anything to improve the game for others unless the information is specific.

Ok I am all ready to go with this.

I have version 3.1 and TAO do I need anything else?

The installation instructions and pre-requisites are outlined in the first post and in the included Readme for both. Let me know if the instructions are insufficient and I will endeavor to increase their sufficientness to maxitude.

I followed all instructions, I just wanted to double check incase any updates/addons had been made since the posting of the first post

So it looks like I am all set to go, will report any bugs if I find any.

Oh I do have one other question - is the morrowind code patch compatible with this?

Yes, I believe it is. I played through Arktwend numerous times with an earlier version of the MCP. AFAIK there's nothing in the latest version that would cause any problems. In fact, I recommend using it.

Thats great stuff!

Well I am gonna go through and play test

Ok,

I had just finish setting up my seprate morrowind install for Arktwend.

I went to unzip the english Arktwend file but it said that it was corrupted. I then went back to nexus to download it again but Nexus is throwing this error at me when I click on files:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function query() in /home/tes/public_html/includes/sdk/index.php on line 90

essentaily I cannot download the english version of Arktwend. Is there anywhere else to download from?

NVM - Nexus seems to be working again. Hopefully a fresh download will solve the corrupt file i got earlier.

ok so to play this, i need 2 installations of morrowind right? one in the default directory for morrowind so i can play "Morrowind" and a separate one in a directory for Arktwend. right?

yeah, pretty much. It just makes managing the mod easier, preventing corrupt instalations, dodgy saves, ctd's, human error etc....

awesome, im going to attempt to install this correctly later. ill probably fail at it and all of you guys will have to bail me out of the mess i put myself in

That is recommended, sir. Arktwend needs to install its own Morrowind.ini, so the easiest thing to do is make a separate install for it so it doesn't clobber anything in your regular Morrowind directory.

ok i installed arktwend english version, the original version, the patch for the english version, and TOA, what esp's and esm's do i check on the datafiles?

right now i have these checked:

Morrowind
Tribunal
Bloodmoon
Arktwend_English
Better Heads
Arktwend 2.0.0 (DE)
Better Bodies
Ownership Indicator
TAO
TAO_Windows_Glow

those are all the ones i need checked right?

and what does the morrowind enhanced thing do?

No. For Arktwend English, you only activate Arktwend_English.esm. For TAO, you would also activate TAO.esp. If you want to try it, you can also activate TAO_Windows_Glow.esp.
If you let me know where you read in the instructions to activate all those other plugins, I will fix it.


It is not supported on the English version of Arktwend.

no the other plugins (BB, BH, etc.) were ones that i wanted to play with, but my friend told me that they aren't compatible so im only using TAO, and the master file, the glowing windows didnt look right in-game, when i moved they would flash gray.
