And more

SInce the changelog is rather big I refer to my moddb website for further information: http://www.moddb.com/mods/morrowind-rebirth

You can download the mod at this link: http://www.moddb.com/mods/morrowind-rebirth/downloads/release-morrowind-rebirth-18

I will add additional links further down the road. I also plan to release a small addon next week.

Woohoo!

Will I need to start a new game, or can I just paste this over 1.7 and keep playing?

any hints as to what the addon will be?

At last a new version of Morrowind Rebirth.

I blame you for ruin my day since you know that I can't do anything else than playing Morrowind Rebirth. Time to update your sig too.

This has been your cursed nightmare and I hope that this isn't gonna to bother you anymore.


Finally with this Morrowind couldn't be better since http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1376740-relz-morrowind-comes-alive-70/ was released the other day. Thanks Trancemaster and keep up the good work!

You could always try, but it would be wise to repair your save-game using Wrye Mash... or was it Bash? Can't remember since I don't use it anylonger


Mostly fixes but there will be a few additional changes to some areas that didn't really make it into 1.8.


Haha the Gondola service has been a pain in the ass really. Well well, now it's done!

Let me know if you guys are having any issues

Just bash him with reports and enventaully he'll turn up on a military hospital in the TV series Mash.

Seriously yes he is right just repair you gamesave in Wrye Mash, but if you still have problems then I suggest that you either go back to an earlier save (preferably if you have playing much) or just start a new game (you haven't played much).

This reminds me about another thing. Do you think it's about time that I test my idea about having a separate Morrowind Rebirth.esp last in your loadorder (lost fortify attack issue)?

Well you know me don't you. Well done.

My character had already achieved what I wanted him to (Temple Patriarch), so I thought "no big deal if it breaks" and just pasted it over the old version. It complained about a few missing potions but since then everything has been working

Haven't seen all the new stuff, but I walked around in Ald Ruhn and noticed a few things: The wall that used to extend from the front gate is missing, so the gate is basically pointless; A Dunmer in the temple complex courtyard is speaking in third person like a Khajiit; A Dunmer inside one of the complex buildings is missing his head (better heads and stuff isn't required, right?). In the last version (I think it persists) I also noticed that the smoke from the chimneys at Ghorak mansion in Caldera (creeper house) was misaligned.

And it's hard to ask without sounding critical, but are you going to keep working on Ald Ruhn? It seems that Balmora, Ghostgate and the like have had major improvements whereas Ald Ruhn still looks vanilla apart from the temple.

Thanks for the report, I will fix those issues right away! (Fixed)

Ya I just worked on Ald-Ruhn for 1-2 hours before the release, it will be very diffrent in 1.9 or 2.0!

So will Vivec be staring in the next update? I really can't wait to see what you're planning to do with that place. The outside looks so empty.
