Cool, I will look into it

Upon examination, it's a compiler error with the CS. The compiler fails to translate "torch" correctly, forming an undefined type and empty id, instead of an object with id "torch". Separating the function call and if statement on different lines doesn't do anything, it is likely an error in the symbol table.

Possible solution:
# Compile the script with MWEdit, it works correctly in this case. MWEdit still isn't perfect, it breaks dialogue if you use it to edit dialogue / dialogue scripts.

Either way, you should note this down in the script for a reminder to other modders / your future self.

Thank you and Tetchy both for helping me verify that it's actually a problem with the script engine and not the script itself. I'm sure you can understand it was a very frustrating (and baffling) problem. Although if the error is in the construction set and not in Morrowind.exe, I suppose there's no chance of a patch. Still, I appreciate the confirmation, the explanation of the problem, and your description of a usable workaround.

Ok............ after some long looooooong testing, i have found no problems picking up even the smallest of item's (such as gold coins)

Ive also been fireing fireballs at every lame ass breton i could, with no difference from being at "0, 0"

I also put together quite a few building's that require to be peiced together, and that has no problem either.

Pathgrids work fine

As i have noticed already, the only problem i can see (which in my opnion is not a problem atall) is that your character can be slightly jittery, but other than that ther are no problems atall

Actually, only one other problem, it takes aggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss to walk to falkreath from balmora

Greetings Hrnchamd,
I'm not sure if this has been noted before, but I think I've found a small problem with the fix for NPC AI potion drinking.

In my case, I have a companion in AIFollow mode, using a simple companion script based on Grumpy's template. When we get into combat, and I do damage to the enemy, my companion drinks his health potions! If I turn off the NPC potion fix, then he no longer does so. This is not particularly harmful or anything, just mildly disconcerting. Could you check that fix and see if it is behaving as intended? Thanks.

I can't help but wonder: how do you make something like this?

To the impartial observer, the process appears to be a guy staring at the screen for a long time without typing much, and swearing occasionally. Really most of what I do is make documentation on how Morrowind works. Run it through a debugger, change one thing in Morrowind and note what functions are called, and what data structures change. Then there's a lot of logical deduction to guess the side effects of each function, and exactly what the data is supposed to represent. Once everything is explained in maximum detail then it is usually clear what to change. I rely on a solid base of knowledge on how things are supposed to work to be able to spot mistakes.


Thanks. That's pretty interesting, none of the AI code is particularly clear so I could have introduced that side effect in there somehow.

I have a feature request: A patch to enable the crosshair in the new 3rd person view introduced by MCP. It will make the game better imho and shouldn't be too hard to do.

Did you know that Adul created such a mod?

No, I didn't know. Thanks for the link

i will like to see the bribes increase the mercantile skill not speechcraft...a big hope for my imperial salesman

Haha, don't mind me, but I do program. Python, Java, a little C, and a lot of web dev with PHP, AJAX, and all sorts of other stuff, using abstraction techniques.
So I'm not completely clueless. Just aware of how much I don't know.

I am very curious as to how you made this. All I can gather, is that your methods sound a lot like some of the things I read about making trainers and cracks. (No I don't.)

When you have the time, please, point me towards something that would help me learn how to "repair the cogs of Morrowind" as you are doing

(I will be doing my own research soon as I am done with exams. Trying to keep my information mooching at a minimum.)

First of all, many Thanks to Hrnchamd for all his hard work on the MCP, which has become an essential part of any Morrowind set-up.
Recently I have come across a minor issue with, or rather an inadvertent side effect of, the Hand to Hand fix. Basically, as Werewolves are actually NPCs and not creatures, they are also affected by it. Since they are very strong encounters with them are substantially more difficult than before. Would it be possible to change the fix so that it does not apply to NPCs that have transformed into werewolves? Alternatively, I suppose a plug-in that tones down werewolves by lowering their strength so that their attack would deal damage similar to the vanilla game would also remedy the problem. If neither option is possible, it might be worth adding a note about this to the description of the Hand to Hand fix, so that users can better decided whether they would like to enable it or not.
Since I am already posting, may I use this opportunity to mention two things that have always slightly annoyed me in Morrowind and which the Code Patch might be able to amend? Firstly, when a lockpick or probe is used up, characters automatically go to Hand to Hand, even when there are more of the same type of lockpick or probe in the player's inventory. Yet when using up a repair hammer or prong it is automatically replaced with another one if one of the same type is available. Would it be possible to make lockpicks and probes behave in the same way?
Secondly, would it be possible to have one slot for arrows and one for bolts, rather than one slot for both? This would make it possible to quickly switch between bows and crossbows without having to swap out ammunition every time.
Once again, many Thanks for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated!

Hello all, from what i understood this patch is able to fix the limited map size as posted here http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19510. Though after installing the patch i found that Telvannis (from the Tamriel Rebuilt's Morrowind Province mod) was still missing the right half of its landmass on the world map. Does anyone know how to fix this or the cause of this problem?

@rupsie: I'd try updating a copy of your saved game using Mash update map option

Do that,
but also double check that you activated the map fix in the patch. I believe it is turned off by default.

Updated the world map with Wrye Mash, no effect (doesn't matter if i got World Map Gridlines on or off). So how can you look into a mod/the patch and change the files so it does activate the map fix, cant find any description on that in the readme file or any of the other given files (in the patch documentation folder) (also cant find anything in TES construction set to do that, though i'm quite inexperienced with that). (i dubble checked that i have set the patch on active)

Whenever I modify my character's magicka amount via the console (player-> setmagicka X), and you save, or rest, or reload, or any number of things, my magicka is always rest to whatever my intelligence is. This isn't even how magicka is determined to begin with in the game (Intelligence is only a base factor, not the only factor in determining what my magicka amount should be), and it's really annoying to have to re-modify it time and again. This is made even more peculiar by the fact that editing fatigue and health levels works just fine; neither of them get reset like magicka does. So my question is, could the MCP incorporate a fix for this bug, so that it resets using the normal formula for determining magicka levels? (Or better yet, get it to not reset at all, like fatigue and health)

One thing i must say, after patching, the Disintegrate spell (armor/weapon) dont work, after 100 cast of Disintegrate Armor on Divayth Fyr of magnitude 100 points(100 willpower 100 destruction,for a total of 10000 points of armor broken) i killed him with frotst spell and all the pieces of his daedric armor was at 100% of health. Tested in 30 NPC, guards included...the disintegrate weapon is out too

And now, the turn undead spell dont work too....the greater bonewalker dont go away even with magnitude 100

This screwed my 40 level breton mage.... thanks!

So, restore the backup of the original file and wait for a fixed patch.

Exactly.
Like all mods, the patch comes with the warning that you use it at your own risk.
No need to be condescending towards Hrnchamd about a problem you find.

Also, did Disintegrate ever work right to begin with? Those spells always seem to be very ineffective for me.

Disintegrate always worked for me. I've never had a problem with it.

Turn Undead... I dunno if that ever worked for me, but I these days I simply add it to area-effect ranged spells to make them look cool.

i knowkn the backup thing.......

I don't think the patch would need some mod activation. But if you did not already, try a fresh new game, so you can at least restrict possibilities: if it still does not work from a fresh new game, then it is not a savegame problem, but some compatibility/patch problem, or vice-versa

Not sure if this has been touched on for this, but I remember reading a while back that, unlike some newer games, Morrowind renders everything in front of the player. So, if you're standing in a town staring at a building, it's going to render everything on the other side of the wall that you can't see if it's in your view distance. Is that something that could be fixed with this? It would definitely be something that helped out framerate on pretty much any system.
