Hi folks,

Got back into morrowind lately and recently remembered my fondness for all things mog. Been lurking for a while on the forums before registering, lurked some more, read up on the mog thread and came across some probs, and decided to post. I'm hoping to get some help with these issues if at all possible.

I'm somewhat of a beginner with using the construction set and dds and nif files and so on, so if I say something stupid, apologies in advance.

Prob #1:
I decided to make a Kage mog, everything is fine up until I try to go vampire. When the change occurs, my head disappears. Stats and everything are fine, only I have no head. Now I've enough experience to know that I've placed all the necessary files in the right folders, and I've looked in the folders for the kage mog and seen what I "think" should be the appropriate vamp files...not sure tbh, read the above about my modding experience.

Anyways, in the meshes\mog_v4\M folder (playing a male mog btw) I see a file "mogK_m_head-vp.nif" and in the textures folders I see "mogK_m_head-vp_color.dds" and "mogK_m_head-vp_glow.dds" files. I assume the vp is for vampire? Correct me if I'm wrong though please. So....not sure why this is happening. If anyone can give me some advice on this it would be appreciated. If vp indeed stands for vampire, then I have no idea why my head is disappearing. I get no error messages or anything, head just goes....on holiday somewhere.


Prob #2:
Among some of the mods I've installed, are the MogMod Community Patch Nov 2009 and MogHelms mod. When I try to run both, regardless of load order I get the following error,

Matching IDs: templar_helmet_mog
MogMod Community Patch.esp: type Armor
Mog_Helms.esp: type Body Part

If I click to load anyways, my game ctd's. And obviously also if I click no.

Not sure how to resolve this. I've looked through the readme and tbh I'm not sure if I've understood correctly that the helms may actually be part of the community patch? If so, then this raises another prob....even without loading the Mog_Helms.esp, I tried equipping one of the helms I bought from a vendor, got a godawful noise through my speakers and my game ctd'd.

Reason I would like this to work is also for the wraithpaw. Same as below, prob #3, I tried making an additional patch only for the wraithpaw, added it using the console, no probs, equipped it, got the enchantments but my right forearm/paw disappeared.


Prob #3:
I'm also using Westly's V'Kai race mod. LUV it!! Beautiful race. Thank you, Westly. I love the armor he made so much that I was hoping to use the armor from the v'kai mod on my mog. I actually made my own patch for the armor, making light and heavy versions that I add through the console. Yes, I know, cheating but the armor is soooooo damn nice. Anyways, on my v'kai, the console additions and original armors work. On the mog though, the body parts disappear. I technically have it equipped, but the chest/torso disappears if I equip the cuirass, and the same for bracers and so on. What am I missing in the tescs? Not sure if this has something to do with BB and the meshes or....meh, I have no idea.


Anyways, any help with these issues would be most appreciated. Hope to hear from some of you guys with more experience. Thanks.

I know that Mog helms is indeed included in the M*MCP. so you might try disabling mog helms and just using the patch? Also there is a newer version out put together by Marabred, that you might want to check out.

#1 is a common problem with moogles somthing about the vampire heads the game is finiky about, see the Official Moogle thread for details(you will have to dig as it is not stickied or anything.)

As for the third problem, I think it has somthing to do with the alpha channels, but I may be completly wrong.(I'm horrible when it comes to working with the bones and such of the models)
