It appears to be the other way around in my case, the "created" dates are all 2009 (which I presume you set), the modified dates are 2011 and seem to correspond to the extraction time. Which one does Morrowind look at when deciding load order?

If I'm correct about this you can change the settings in WinRAR, not sure about 7zip though, to preserve the timestamp regarding the files in an archive.

Happy birthday, BTB!

No Swedes here, rhedd-headed or otherwise, unfortunately.

Rochndil, who has 8.5 installed, and DOES read...

Yeah, that sounds about right.




I feel old >.<

But thanks, regardless.

Hmm... someone has pointed out to me that I should probably edit the values of Indoril Armor.

I will.

Later.

Right now, I am le tired.

So, if anyone has any *other* ideas, post them here in the next 12 hours or so.

Hmm... I should also revisit the Orc Beserk power to make it more useful as a battle mechanic than as a way to screw with game mechanics that check for above-average fatigue (bartering comes to mind).

Then again, if I was doing business with a pissed-off Orc, I'd probably be a lot more generous, too.

Version 8.6 is up. Indoril armor values heavily edited (since the stuff isn't exactly hard to come by once you start killing Ordinators) and I also edited the Orc Beserk power to be a bit more true to the intended functionality (assuming the use of a retroactive health mod, anyways).

Also made a few updates to my mod list, as well. Notice that screenshots are slowly but surely starting to appear. Now that I'm 1) off shift at work and 2) actually *done* with my other mod-related responsibilities, this trend should hopefully continue.

Currently updating my loadlist, so I have a few questions.

The Alchemy plugin of version 8.6 contains a bunch of cell edits. What are those?
I read that you changed the spriggan lootlist, but what did you change on the creature itself?

Those are errors. They're like the cell edit equivalent of "dirty" GMSTs, and I'm not 100% what triggers them. Didn't even know they were in my Alchemy plugin until you pointed them out.



Nothing. I don't think, anyways. That edit shouldn't be there, either.

I can't remember whether or not i merged my Alchemy plugin with Midgetalien's Heartwood plugin or if I just manually made the change. If the former, it might explain the dirty references I missed.

Then I'll be able to delete those.

Thanks for the quick response. ^^

Np.

I'll delete the dirty refs in an update, which I will make shortly because somebody pointed out that I *still* haven't fixed the museum scripts on all of the vanilla Morrowind equipment.

[censored] MWEdit. [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] it to [censored] hell.

Ok, 8.7 is up now.

My apologies once again for MWedit's [censored]ups.

An item called "Iron Viperblade" is having the 0/0 charge problem. It has a weak poison enchantment. It seems to me there are still some items left you have to beef up to compensate for lowered spell cost.

Well, the Iron Viperblade has the "viper_enu" enchantment on it, which is one of the few enchantments I actually don't edit. It's actually a rather powerful enchantment, to boot: poison 5-9 for 5 seconds. This is more than enough strength to avoid the 0 charge problem, which is caused by the enchantment in question requiring less than half a point of magicka.

In short - you should not be having this problem. Are you, by any chance, using another mod that edits the enchantment on the Iron Viperblade?

I remember it having a Poison 1-4p on strike enchantment. Does that require more than half a point magicka? I guess it does.

The only mods I use which are not from your modlist, are purely aesthetic ones, texture replacers and the like, so I'm clueless on this one.

I'll let you know if I find out anything.

Under my mod, that would indeed be too low to register. However, the specific enchantment you referred to was more than just poison 1-4. I'm fairly certain that my mod upgrades most enchantments that weak to be of more use, but I'll go double check.

Well, this is odd. In the CS it has the enchantment that you mention. In the game however, it has the weaker enchantment that I mentioned (1-4p), which combined with your Spells plugin has a spell cost of 0.25, so at least something adds up.

Two One things of notice:
1) The "viper_enu" enchantment is set to auto-calculated in the CS. Is this correct? (I've never really understood what exactly auto-calculation is.)
2) The weapon is partly damaged.

TESPCD returns no conflicts among my active plugins.

This sounds like a job for Wrye Mash.



Autocalculation takes the base cost of the enchantment itself and then calculates the enchant capacity so that you will always get the same number of uses out of them (default is five). The problem shows up when the casting cost of the enchantment is zero: five times zero is still zero.

Pretty much everything in the game by default is auto-calculated except for the stuff that was way too powerful, so the devs compensated by only giving you, like, two uses (the Vampiric Ring, for example). In my mod, everything is auto-calced.

Just ran Wrye Mash - it found no problems. I used 'Repair All' on my savegame.

So something is overwriting the enchantment of your Equipment plugin. But it slips under TESPCD's radar. How is that possible? Anyone?

...

Aha! When I load all my master and plugin files in the CS, the Iron Viperblade uses the "viper_en" instead of the "viper_enu" enchantment. Part of the mystery solved.

Considering TESPCD only checks for plugins, does this mean some master file is taking precedence... ???

...

Yezzir. Loading plugins only, the correct enchantment is applied. My master files are, in the specified order:
- Morrowind
- Tribunal
- Morrowind Patch 1.6.5 Beta (BTB Edit)
- Bloodmoon
- Bloodmoon Landscape Overhaul 1.0
- Better Heads Tribunal addon
- Better Heads Bloodmoon addon
- Better Heads
- Texture Fix - Bloodmoon 1.1
- Texture Fix 1.8

I'm stumped. Please help me out.

Hmmm...

The culprit is the MPP. It sets all of the basic "Viper" weapons over to the proper enchantment, which is "Viper_en", Of course, I don't edit Viper_en, because I wasn't aware that it was actually used. No conflicts exist because my mod doesn't edit the weapons directly, and I missed it because I skipped over any enchantments that weren't being used (not realizing that the MPP was using them).

So, yeah, I guess I'll edit it, then.

Just found out the same.

Not a glitch anyone's to blame for, I guess.

Aye, no blame to be had on this day. An update will be posted shortly, and then Swedish redheads for all.

M'kay, 8.8 is up now. Cue the Jeff Gerstmann jokes.

Also, thanks for your help on this one, Smash.

Thanks BTB for continuing to support your excellent mod. Thoroughly enjoying my playthrough so far. Just hit level 8 and felt like I really had to earn it.

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm actually *starting* to play for the first time in... well, ever.

And I'm beginning to think that a better name for my character would have been "Chief Takes-All-Your-[censored]".
