Well, well, well, look what we have here: quite a mighty fine list of resources that I plan on using, and some of which barely see the light of day! I've made this thread to get feedback, help with contacting mod authors, and gathering feedback on mods I've downloaded that I'd like to use assets for my large-scale project An Addendum to Tamrielic Lore (ATL), as well as help others and myself find modders resources that are feasible to use in this day-and-age, while also retaining some level of consistency in assets.

This is not worthy of a "Mod Detective Thread" post simply because a) I have a list that I'd like feedback on, and I don't have any specific ideas for what other mod resources I need -- it's more-or-less just give me what you want to see in my mod at this point. It is also not worthy of a "Show Us What You're Working On" thread, as this isn't about what I'm working on so much as it is about the resources being used.

Note, some of these' author's have been contacted by me already (though not all have been on for a while), and while I don't notice any particular "DO NOT USE AS RESOURCES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" lying about, that's partially why I've put this up here; now other people can, if they feel inclined, shout at me not to use the resources at all instead!

Remember, if you'd like to see any other resources be used as well, or would like to help me contact some of the authors whose content I'd like to use to give them a heads-up, that'd be great.

The permissions I'd like are:

-Be allowed to use the resources in my mod

-Be allowed to rename, retexture, revise, fix, etc. the resources to avoid conflicts and assist with consistency of the mod

-All proper credit will be given, and the original ReadMes (if available) will be included as well

And, without further ado, here's the list:

If you even took one glance at it, you'll see that it's a mighty heft list -- and most of it's been gathered within the past two days! I'm also planning on adding some of Algaise's resources as well if possible.

Also, I've contacted Psymoniser (no luck yet), WormGod Elite (no luck yet), Westly (again, no luck yet), PiratelordX (Messaged me back, and gave me a thumbs up, plus I can now also contact him if I have any questions regarding his resources and used ones!), Stuporstar (also thumbs up), the RR Team (a yes from them for books, but I'm pretty sure Crab won't mind if I use some of his other meshes as bases ), and at least one other author (looking through my notes, and I can't remember). If there is anyone who you can contact on this list, feel free to do so in my name (and please tell me so I can mark them yea/nay). If you have any resources you'd like to see being used, or if you know of any not on this list, please tell me and I'll see about including them!

Also, if there is any discussion around major/minor issues that may need fixing, please feel free to share them! I am aware of lidicus's Sload not being correct for the regular (non-brown) version, and am hoping someone would be willing to fix it for me (I don't have enough experience with creature models to do so comfortably).

Thanks, and I hope I found something you may also want to use in one of your projects :3

~P.K.

Are there any resources you need that don't yet exist (at least to the best of your knowledge)?

There are a few -- creatures, namely, that are present in later and earlier elder scrolls games (such as the weird eye-thingies in TES:O), and also some argonian, redguard, and khajiit resources which I'd like to get my hands on.

There may be things in the Project: Tamriel mods, but I don't wish to use any of those resources as it's too much trouble to try and track down authors. If someone were to do that for me, I'd do it, but right now I'd rather not XD

Edit: also, Ayleid stuff is highly desirable, as well as anything for the Altmer!

I don't immediately see any questionable "resources" in your list. Also, I forgot about Acid's turtle. I may have to look into rigging a new model to that skeleton...

Also, a word of advice. Don't limit yourself to what has been created for Morrowind. Plenty of modders for Oblivion (and maybe Skyrim) are willing to let modders convert their resources for use in Morrowind (assuming they are original creations). I got a lot of rocks for Lyithdonea from Oblivion (mr_siika aka "the bestest resource maker ever").

FYI, if you're interested, I have been fleshing out the Kriin a bit more in Lyithdonea. I made a "bull" version which has a turtle-like shell and kriin meat pieces.

And FYI, I was in contact with Dongle a while ago and got a few resources he had never released before and uploaded them to GHF with his blessing. So take a look through stuff under his name there: http://download.fliggerty.com/search?searcht=dongle

Also, if you're going for a consistent and vanilla-friendly look for your project, I can say that there are a few resources in there which I believe will need to be tweaked (at least with textures) to fit in. Namely some of Captain Zaltan's and Lady Eternity's stuff.

And what exactly are you saying is wrong with the sload? I don't follow.

Wow, thanks MD! I'll definitely take a look at a few of those resource ASAP! Although, come to think of it, I do believe I added some of Dongle's to my list already ;3

I'd also love to take a look at that updated Kriin (and the turtle if you get around to re-rigging the skeleton). I'm also aware of some of the resources needing texture/mesh tweaks, which is what I'll most likely be doing for most (if not all) the resources that I'll be using. It'll take the longest time, but it'll also make everything look the most consistent. I can't say I'm relishing the opportunity to do so, either XD

As for the Sload, I believe the MMH link references UV/rigging issues in the normal version that are fixed in the Brown Version. It's a super-easy texture swap if I want both, so it's not a drastic deal to get it fixed :3
