General questions

Post » Fri Sep 11, 2009 6:10 pm

Been playing Morrowind (somewhat intermittently) for as long as I can remember. Now that I'm probably as acclimated with the game's content and community as I'm going to be, I've decided to take up a personal project in the form of a TES3 mod.

I just have a few questions in regards to the resources available besides the TES CS, and I'd really appreciate some kind of response.

1) Is there some kind of catalog that helps in introducing new modders to the daunting amount of statics available? Since there isn't any "name" listing for statics, I figured someone over the years must have made some kind of library that categorizes all of the IDs, maybe with a screenshot or something, and what they are specifically. This would eliminate a lot of the guesswork involved in static placement, I think.

2) All of the old Modder's Resource pages that I had bookmarked seem to be dead. Where can I find a working collection of modder's resources?

3) There are some resources that I remember seeing that I can't seem to locate. Specifically, I'm looking for a set of land meshes/mountains/giant caves for use in interior cells. Also, are there any expansions of existing tilesets actually worth downloading?

4) Finally, are there any particularly useful or advanced features of the TES3CS that people tend to miss?

There's http://tommyshideout.net/files/srikandi/TESCSItemIndex/. There's also a downloadable version (windows help file) somewhere on the internet, but I can't find it at the moment.

Edit: There are more interesting things at http://www.designamatic.com/MW-Home.html.
