After finding out about an issue with MADD Lever and MCP, I have removed MADD Leveler. I would like to select the cap removal options in MCP, as well as change a few options now that I have a better idea of what they do and I wanted to verify that I have the process correct. Please let me know if this is correct:

1) Run the MCP 2.1 setup and choose to restore the morrowind.exe
2) Select the options in MCP and apply patches to morrowind.exe
3) Run the exe optimizer on morrowind.exe
4) run the LAA program on morrowind.exe

I think my biggest question is with step 1. Is it preferred to replace morrowind.exe with the vanilla exe, or does it matter?

Thanks!

You can just reapply the patch.

The MCP uses the vanilla exe every time it's applied. It doesn't re-patch the already patched exe.

The restore function is if you want to uninstall the MCP.

I think... someone correct me if I'm wrong

MCP backs up your EXE as Morrowind.original.exe or something similar, the first time you apply the patch. Then if you again change any settings in MCP, then it uses the backed up version, so your first step is redundant.

Your 3rd and 4th steps needs to be done every time you change the MCP settings.

Thanks for the info!

One more question, I have found that each time I have run the exe optimizer it has applied a different number of patches (looking at the logs). The initial MGSO installation had "127 patches applied", after installing MCP 2.1 the first time, it had "97 patches applied", and now that I have selected the cap removers, it has "88 patches applied". Any idea on why the number has changed each time, out of curiosity?
