Can't figure it out...

Alright after allot of troubleshooting (I try my best to fix problems before coming here for help, I'v become more of a leecher than a contributer around here of late) I still have no rain in morrowind!

Expected:
Rain is seen falling in rainy weather.

Observed:
Rain sound loop plays. Rain ripples are present. No visual rain.
**rain does appear (not animated) while game is paused.

Repro:
no idea

Notes:
-Other weather particles do show up, such as snow (blizzard (others not tested)).

-I noticed a problem after installing Phal's scattercloud rev. V3 where at certain angles the rain would disappear. Later I noticed it was completely gone. I tested and confirmed that phal's mge work is not at fault. I think I changed some other stuff in around the time of noticing but it was mostly sound stuff as far as I can remember. The problem may have been present well before that time going un-noticed. I don't see the rain too often.

-I just re-installed the rain texture (swg's particles from swg's skies)

System info:
Intel core 2 duo
3 GB ram (ddr 2)
Nvidia 8600M GT
-drivers up to date

MGE 3.8.2.178 and scatter+cloud v5

Thanks, hopefully its a simple problem...

Oh and if someone could point me to a replacement for the rain mesh I could try replacing that, though I don't see how the old one could have gone bad.

It's the rain mesh from SWG skies, delete the rain mesh and use the default one. It's not as pretty but it will fix the error.

Dang I thought I had a data files backup but it's basically empty :( I wonder what the heck happened with that... anyway, can someone upload that .nif for me? Or link me to a download for extract.exe so I can extract a fresh data files folder from the disk?

The default rain mesh is stored in the BSA, you can delete the replacement and the game will revert to the default one.

Oh jeeze that makes allot of sense. Where is my mind today?? Thanks guys, it's a shame swg's isn't working but all is good now.

Is this due to an error in the model or what? Maybe he can fix it...
