I've been creating my landmass mod, and I'd decided to move it away from the main map area, causing the player to reply on in-game maps (good idea?), but I've recently noticed I've put the landmass too far north, and I'm getting buggy meshes. This is a problem anyone would normally get when too far away from Vvardenfell, for some reason, so that's definatly the problem.

I'd like to know how I could go about moving the landmass down south a bit. I've had people refer me to TESAME, but I've never known how to find the move cell function. Could anyone give me a hand, and tell me what to do? Or tell me if there's a better tool? Would I be best to do it now? Could I wait until I know where the southern tip is first, or should I start moving now? Would moving more cells be subsantially more difficult? I'm also willing to email the mod, if you get sick of my incompetance (the zipped esp alone is only 1.3mb as is)

Anyhoo, what do you think about the neccesity to rely on in-game maps? I doubt I could fit it in the mapable area, even with MCP, so it seems to be the only option, anyway.

I'm also having problems with implementing Neccessities of Morrowind in my mod. None of the activators will work. I can't drink from any wells, fill up my waterskins, or anything. I merged my landmass with "NOM modders ress.esp". Should I have done that?

Also, don't get your hopes up, this mod is miles away from completion. So no WIP.


Thanks ^_^

You can use http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Utilities.Detail&id=16 to move landmass.


Yes, you merged them correctly. But the resource esp is just for quickly adding the items into your mod.
You also have to have the actual NoM esp load after your mod, so that all the scripts work.

Ah, thanks for that. I'll post back in a while.

If I've merged the landmass into the NoM - Resources.esp, should I also rename that esp as well?

You should be able to keep whatever name you want.



I haven't tested the NOM solution yet, but whenever I try to move something with TesFaith, nothing happens. If I look in the log file, it'll say;

Rule 1: Move the cell at (17, 140) to (17, 50).

TESFaith has finished. The new data has been written to TFOUT.ESP

0 cells have been moved. It says at the top that my rule has worked. What's wrong? :shrug:

Thanks for your reply.
