All I could think about during the recent debacle was "But... I've seen Kingpix asking for permissions and things, I know there's a team that's doing this compilation stuff right! It can be done properly." I'm really pleased to see this coming out, and really pleased by the way you've gone about it, and really pleased by the community reaction.

Although I'm another who prefers to put together my own modlist, I really do think there's a demand for a beginner's pack; modded Morrowind can be overwhelming. I wish you the best of luck and great success with this project.

the graphics & sounds part of the overhaul is almost ready for release.
As for the Game Experience part, that is still W.I.P. and won't be completed VERY soon

you should be able tu run it greaty

I don't know what the game experience part is going to contain exactly, but I bet that'll be pretty tough to get right. Especially since you're going to have to deal with a lot more esp files and potential conflicts. Good luck!

Could you post a plug-in list of the sounds&graphics pack before uploading the pack? Just in case there are any mistakes you missed there.

Sure. I will post it later =)

Very interesting to see another compilation coming so soon after the 2011 one. Luckily it's being done right this time. Let's hope the big news sites pick this one up once it's finished because KINGPIX did ask permission to the modders and his looks better :tongue:

Lets hope you can get it up this weekend then!

Is it possible, and smart, to run Blocking/Combat Enhanced together with this compendium? I remember it needing some MWSE.exe file
And does MGE-XE work with this too, because that one adds working dynamic shadows?
Thanks alot

Very nice, indeed

This patch add major clipping issues on shoes changed by Better Clothes. "Not able to find Foot part in BC_shoes..." errors in Warnings.txt are completely harmless – there is no need for patch at all.

I agree with Logitech about the Better Clothes Patch, you're better off without it.

That would be the Morrowind Enhanced (MWE) utility actually. It should be compatible with most mods. Especially sounds/graphics mods. So there shouldn't be any problems with MWE and this overhaul. There has been some talk that Morrowind Enhanced is somewhat buggy and can cause saves to corrupt though, I don't think it's still widely used.

I assume they won't include a specific MGE within the download. If so, you'd be free to use any MGE version you like.

So, there isn't really a "max everything" in MGE. By the way you will run this at good levels without problems
The guide that we are making is done to help you with all the MGE configuration, to assure the best performances

Then I linked Westly's Master Headpack, Westly's Unique Corpus Stalkers & Westly's Unique Winged Twilight

As you can see I tried to keep it clean, to avoid crash and to use as few as possible plugin slots.

Grass plugins:

Variation 1: (I prefer this, much more "Morrowind Vanilla Style"
Ascadian Isles Grass (Vality's)
Vurt's Groundcover - The Ashlands
Muspila's Azura's Coast
Vality's Bitter Coast grass with Vurt's tweaked textures
Vality's Bitter Grazelands grass with Vurt's tweaked textures
Vality's Bitter West Gash grass with Vurt's tweaked textures
Vurt's Solstheim Grass

Variation 2: (The "bushy one")
Muspila's Azura's Coast
Vurt's Groundcover Complete Version
Vurt's Solstheim Grass



They would work, yes, but you need Morrowind Enhanced
Also I don't recommend MGE XE right now, in fact like Hrnchamd said, it's only a tech demo! Better wait a final release

Looks alright to me. And the variation for grasses is nice. In fact, judging from the screens, I think I may download the compilation just for the grasses.

Graphic Herbalism Extra.esp

I don't remember seeing this 'extra' thing for GH. What does it do?

It changes the way you pick up minerals, pretty the same way as plants.

Edit:

Yes, I saw that too.
In fact I think I will delete that patch before uploading the mod

http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=2390 from Daleth that correct mesh in book "A Dance in Fire, Chapter 4" and optionaly alternate some "vivid" textures.

Since I just finished configuring my own Morrowind and making it look nice, would you consider simply putting up any changes/tweaks you may have made that are otherwise not available and posting any morrowind.ini or MGE settings for those of us just interested in that?

That was included but - apparently - I forgot it in the credits section ! Thanks for posting this, credits added!


Yeah why not
We are also translating our install guide (it is HUGE) into english, that guide will help you with the settings, and yes, it can be downloaded without the main installer file =)

Oh, and just to be correct, here's the Morrowind Overhaul Team behind this project:

Kingpix - Project Leader and pack building/ tweaking
Fafolo - Install Guide (wonderful)
Yoae (and his girlfrend XD) - Guide translation and general help
Nick93 - Screens & videos
Tumore - Betatesting
no1 - Morrowind Overhaul Mascotte
Julianross - So much help with mods and modlist
Andracos ( & Tumore) - Plugin translation (English -> Italian)


=)

Looks awesome, I'm really looking forward to this. Any chance you could post screenshots of some of the characters/NPC's? I'd like to see how they look.

Tomorrow I will post new screens

It looks like you are using outdated 1.0 version of Illuminated Windows that is avaiable on PES. My esp files are named as follow: Illuminated Windows v1.2.esp and Illuminated Windows - Bloodmoon v1.2.esp
Here is the full changelog of Dark Angel's Illuminated Windows v1.2:


There is also an alternative to this mod, although I’m not sure which one is better:
Max's Windows Glow 2.2 (+Colt17 Windows Glow - Tribunal V 1.1 + Windows Glow - Bloodmoon (now with Raven Rock) + Dragon32 Fixed tavern mesh for Windows Glow 2.2 + Acrilix’s Windows Glow Texture Tweaks + abot's Windows Glow expansion 1.1). Uhh, that's a lot of add-ons and fixes for just one mod (and there are more mods that expand Window Glow concept like: ModMan's Windowlights 2.0 and Spuzzum's Interior Daylight 1.0) xD


I’m afraid that both mods (The Lighting Mod and Lights 300) change the same (or very similar) things and there could be some compatibility issues.

Where is this Illuminated Windows 1.2 you speak of? My uberleet googol skeelz have not managed to locate it.

I find that Illuminated Windows and Windows Glow compliment each other very well. Windows Glow gives outside window textures a glow at night, and interior windows a glow during the day. Illuminated windows adds a light source that illuminates the nearby area, but doesn't change the window itself. Interior daylight gives the large imperial windows a strong light source that fades in during the morning and away again during the evening. Using all of them together the atmospheric effect is very good IMO.

Edit: Forgot to include quote in a quote block.

Same here with illuminated windows...where is 1.2?

Here it is - I've uploaded it to http://www.sendspace.com/file/6iz3tj.
Original and complete archive with all author's extras. It looks like this version of the mod is no longer available online. Fortunately http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/user/70923-alexir/ archived this package back in 2005 so now we can enjoy it

Ok, I updated Illuminated Windows version to 1.2 (thanks for the upload), and after examining lights 300 and TLM I decided to delete lighs 300 and keep TLM Modular on.
Thanks for the heads up!


That's a good idea, I'll give it a try!

installing this pack will there be all the separate esps for the mods your including or one new esp/esm adding all the new content in to morrowind, if all the esps were combined it would shore add alot more free space in the load order for new mods and wouldnt it help load speeds? also merging the esp/esms might also help detect comparability issues among all the included mods. one of the biggest problems with installing lots of mods is two may conflict then you got to find out witch ones thay are and why then figure out how to fix it or even chose one of them and sacrifice the other. i think the best thing your doing here is collecting lots of mods and making them all comparable, i cant tell you how many time i download a new mod and have not work for about 3 to 4 days till i find out why haha im shore every ones had that once in a wile

It will inlclude separate esps.
By doing so, you can update/remove/manage single mods, and you can also see quickly what mods are included.
Also for objects merging TESTool is included, and I am trying to build this compilation without incompatibilities or unuseful/outdated mods

Look forward to this. Might even wait for this to replay Morrowind.
