does any one know if there i a mod that use the pickaxe to dig out a cave/mine? kinda like that way you dig out a dungeon in dungeon keeper 2 and if not that would be an awsome mod some one can make

It′s not possible to alter the terrain in MW. You could do something like this in a predefined spot (e.g. disabling some stones if you activate them with a pickaxe equipped to open up a new corridor), but it would not work to make this work on any given point you might want to dig.

well poo

The only way I know to have a player made cave is to imply that the player did it, and apply changes over time for a predetermined path or area, much like what was done to towns in blood moon. Sad to say, I do not know of one way to actually do this as you see fit. It might be possible to even allow some choices to pick from, but overall it would not allow a lot of freedom in direction or whatever, and it's highly unlikely the player would be involved directly.

When a place appears to change, it's actually just tricks like disabling or re-enabling items, or some like thing. For example, a common trick with house mods that need "upgraded" or whatever is to run scripts or even create two similar house spaces.. say a house is ruined at first till you do a quest. Well one way to handle that is to create two interiors that look very alike, one of which is "ruined" and one that is fixed. When the quest is completed, the doors are switched out. When you go back to your "house" it looks different now because it actually is.



I am intrigued by a mine that grows deeper or changes over time though. Not having made something like it myself, I don't know what it would take, but there are a few ways something like that could be handled. You could have a place similar to the caldrea mines in that there is a living quarters outside the mine itself, but be able to go into the mine and "work."

There would have to be quests to make it interesting, like hiring slaves to work the mines faster. Maybe even have to get a charter of your own and pay a tax to the imperials to keep it going etc.. as for the mine it's self, there could be a few different paths to choose from in each "area" of the mine. (and you could make those choices via a mine supervisor or something) Perhaps it would be like various tunnels blocked off by stones and the like so you can't tell where they lead and a condition(s) like X amount of time and slaves, or certain quests would remove (via disable) stones every so often from the tunnel in question.

At the end of each tunnel maybe there could be a door leading to the next "area" for your choices, and the door you get would obviously depend on the path/tunnel that you took. That way the mine is somewhat dynamic like you desire. In fact, maybe there would be an activator in each new area, so once you reach a new zone the previous one has additional changes to make it seem more lively.

Maholix before I read your post I was thinking the same thing. There could also be a mining guild. You could accept jobs for a number of days at different mines already in morrowind. Or Get paid for so many pounds of ore. There could also be Better and worse pickaxes.

While there are mods that allow mining, these involve mining at predetermined points, with no new tunnels being opened.

Right, because the pickaxe being sharper any shinier makes the ore magically better. It isn't like the ore's been there all along.

Wouldn't it be possible to make an interior, that over time, different walls or rocks disappear.

and then for the outside, write some kind of script that places a cave entrance and doorway if you activate, say an object in your inventory. Depending on your rotation aswel even. And when that entrance is placed it would link to a very small cave, maybe even just a short straight, and then after time/after using your pick, you could bash through areas.

It's gotta be possible if you ask me
