Morrowind Patch Project Greater Bonewalkers?

Post » Fri Aug 26, 2011 5:15 pm

I was looking through the documentation and couldn't find anything regarding the changes to summons. It appears as though summons, like Greater Bonewalkers, no longer drop bone meal or soul gems when they die and you activate their corpses. *Scratches head* So I'm just wondering if this is intended or if it's documented somewhere. (I looked through the text files in the documentation folder and found nothing.)

PS.
The only thing I could find regarding Greater Bonewalkers was the following:

Summon Greater Bonewalker, description: changed to reflect actual effect
Summon Greater Bonewalker, visual: "VFX_default" -> "VFX_conjure"

I've never noticed this with any version of the MPP.

Which version are you using?

With soulgems? I've seen it before, lesser ones tend to have lesser gems, and greater usually have standard gems. But this is off the top of my head.

IIRC they didn't drop soul gems that was the Bone Lords that could have lesser or common soul gem depending of your level in their corpse when you activating them.

I'm using MPP-BETA-165.zip, which to my knowledge, it's the latest one (Albeit it states it's a beta one *Scratches head*). At first, I wasn't sure that it was the patch project, so I disabled the Morrowind Code Patch and still nothing. Then I disabled the patch project's esm file and tada, it started dropping bone meal and soul gems. It ranged from lesser soul gems to common soul gems. And it was a Greater Bonewalker that was dropping them.

It kind of irked me because I thought I was doing something wrong or that I had messed something up because I know how it's supposed to function, but there it was, defying my knowledge and memories. *Shrugs* So I'm just wondering if it's documented somewhere so that I can see if there's any other game changing function changes that I should know about. Or if it's even intended.

When I load the MPP ver 165 in the CS, the Greater Bonewalkers drop the exact same thing as vanilla GOTY.

Keep in mind that the drops are based on a random leveled list, so sometimes they drop nothing, sometimes just Bonemeal or Soul Gem, or both.
The MPP has never altered the Bonewalker drops in my game.

What other mods do you use?

The Code Patch most definitely has nothing to do with your issue. It's not an esm/esp.

Hmm ...

  • Morrowind Code Patch
  • Tribunal
  • Bloodmoon
  • All the official plugins
  • MGE (Just vanilla MGE, no extra shaders. I just use it for the camera alteration and AA)


I know they're based on a leveled list, but I was trying for a while and absolutely nothing dropped. When I took the Patch Project off, the Greater Bonewalker dropped something every time. *Shrugs* Maybe there's a conflict... possibly with the official plugins? I'm not the most experienced modder ...
