EDIT: sry i got ahead of myself

Now my curiosity is peaked!

Mine too!

I know this is OT, but I have to comment on your sig, if Oblivion had deverse environments like Morrowind, then I would disagree with your sig, however, since all of its environments look exactly the same, there is little point in exploration, and will therefore, reluctantly, agree with it.

:rofl:

Can I sig that please?

If you are interested in this, would you mind testing it out for me.

this esp adds 1 item with a script, once you are in game:

player->additem, "torch" 1 : just to make sure you have a regular torch in your inventory
player->additem, "mf_torch_toggler" 1

set the torch toggler to one of your hot keys and see if it works.

here is the simple script the toggler runs:



I just need to see if my game is corrupt or if this is a bug in morrowind. For some reason if the line ( getitemcount, "torch" ) is on a holdable light sorce or a global script the game doesnt recognize it.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've seen such mistakes before....Are you sure you actually made a light object with ID "torch"?

The ID "torch" is an item all ready in the game and i didnt alter it, I added my fake torch and its called "Mf_torch_toggler" and it has a that script attached to it.

But like I said if I change that line to:

getitemcount, "torch_257"
player->equip, "torch_257"

it works.

EDIT: the origional script works fine if only the morrowind.esm is used to create the esp, and if the morrowind.esm is used in game. Once I create the .esp with MW.esm, BM.esm, and TRI.esm with the same script and load the game with the same masters it doesnt work, i get a error: script error expression , then another error: left eval. Something in bm or tri is messing something up, and this IS a fresh install with the patch.

Now I can work around this by changing the id of "torch" to "torchMF", but I don't know if that's a good idea or not.

Compile & save your mod with only Morrowind.esm loaded, you don't need Tribunal.esm or Bloodmoon.esm resources anyway.
You can avoid generating dirty GMST loading http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Utilities.Detail&id=74 or clean the mod after saving it with http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=utilities.detail&id=34 orhttp://code.google.com/p/mlox/downloads/detail?name=tes3cmd-0.37o-2010.08.20.7z&can=2&q= http://code.google.com/p/mlox/wiki/Tes3cmd#clean_-_Clean_plugins_of_Evil_GMSTs,_junk_cells,_and_more modname.esp.
Also, you'd better avoid asymmetrical spaces, sometimes they may cause errors
player-> placeitem ;<-- risky
player ->placeitem ;<-- risky
player->placeitem ;<-- good
player -> placeitem ;<-- good
if ( variable== 1 ) ; risky
if (variable == 1 ) ; risky
if ( variable == 1) ; risky
if ( variable == 1 ) ; good

Once again thank you, abot, i finally get it now. As long as I compile it with MW.esm only it will work with bm. and tri.

I need to learn to slow down and think out things before I act on them. I'm like a squire ll jacked up up on cocaine.

I can finally finish this up now.

I made that sig as a counter to one by another member. So many flame wars were started oven that stupid feature that it just isn't funny. Personally, I cannot imagine playing the game without it and it is one of the features I want the most in Morrowind. It really svcks to have to travel one hour (real time) in the game world to find a single item and then have to travel another hour to get back. But, I digress...

Absolutely

Unlike Oblivion, you do have access to the intervention spells for a quick return to town, it's oh 2 seconds to return to town. There are some inexpensive amulets enchanted with them, so you don't even need to be a mage.

Also with a little MGE magic you can enjoy exploring, as there are real distinct landmarks and long lines of sight to navigate with, weird mushroom things, actual small settlements and scary ruins. You might even meet interesting travellers. Not like forest, forest, forest and a wolf you might .. experience otherwise.
