The bug with inventory is still there.
I did the tax collector murderer mission and it said she took the ring and when I closed the dialogue it was still in my inventory.
None of my mods have anything to do with that item and my saves were as clean as they could get.



It's hard to test this bug. It doesn't do it right after a load. I have to play a bit before I see it, and it can affect anything leaving my inventory other than dropping it.
I just tried reinstalling Morrowind with MCP 1.8 and am looking to see if that did anything.

Edit: Reinstalling didn't help. It just happened again to nelos onmar's note.
I have that part of the patch checked that supposed to fix it but it does not work.

My mcp 1.6 is gone forever bone head me had overwritten it.

I would like to add a suggestion in light of this...

1) If the arrows you enchant have the same exact name...

2) Have the same base arrows...

3) Also having the exact same effect settings for its enchant...

4) They become stack-able....

It feels kinda silly to have say 20 stacks of 25 arrows with the same exact name, base arrow, and enchantment effect settings...

If its not possible oh well....

Hmm... I could probably add some in my mod >.>

Actually, yep, I just found the perfect candidates.

Actually, I still have all of the incremental Beta patches to MCP. I could give them to you, but I think I would need Hrmchnds permission because they were betas and not for public release.

Hi Hrnchamd,
Maybe you can do something to limit the number of potions that can be drink by the player at one time.
Because with scripting (even with MWSE) its very difficult to do this.
See this thread :
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1116351-did-anyone-ever-come-up-with-a-way-to-limit-the-number-of-potions/

You say in post #10

Maybe it's easier to remove the actual limit (100 -> 200) on attributes and skills and then we can make a new version of GCD which can be even better with far less complex scripts...

Wow. I was away for a long time. But remeber this project start at a time I peeked at the forums.

This project got very far. Just the amount of fixes are impresive.

Haven't seen Hrch around in awhile. I hope he hasn't gotten one of those "life" things. I hear they tend to detract heavily from modding time >.>

Hrnch takes classes and, at least where I live, they started up about a month ago. I'm assuming he is taking classes this semester as well. But it coincides with Hrnch's absence. So he's probably just busy with schooling.

He may not have time to work on anything until some vacation times comes around.

I recall he took a well earned break before when he had classes. Trawling through the executable is very hard work. He has my fullest admiration. I wouldn't care to, and I program for a living.

Wow, yeah... I just went back and looked over what I have written on my mod list about the MCP and, yeah, this thing *definitely* needs a good updatin'.

Hi Hrnchamd - were you able to fix the issue with bumpmap/reflective local lighting for Phijama's meshes?

Just a note about enchanting in the current version. I notice that now, if I spend about 150 gold to buy 25 steel darts worth 6 gold each, and I take a common soul gem filled with a scamp that is valued at 300 gold and use it to enchant those darts with a destruction spell like shock, I end up with 25 enchanted darts that do 4 to 7 damage, but are now worth 13 gold each.

In other words, i improved the capabilities of my darts, but they are now worth 325 gold, or some 1/3 less than the value of materials I used. Sounds like a government project to me... or socialist economics... .

M'kay, well I finally got around to updating my mod list, complete with far more accurate commentary on the MCP.

There's still quite a few fixes I couldn't explain, so if anybody wants to help me fill in the blanks, I'd appreciate it.

I got an request (if you have time) it may be not doable,
Ok as i like to developing new modding techniques for the benefit of our Holy Morrowind Empire Community?
I tried to remake some stuff including animated textures and multiple UV maps
http://img97.imageshack.us/i/13752269.jpg/
That red molten part on the chest is animated with NiUVController node, the model itself has multiple UVmaps so i could sepatare that scrolling molten effect from rest of model, while it looks good in nifskope it dont work well in game.
First: NiUVController don't work on skinned meshes (nothing works with the skinned meshes in this game :brokencomputer:) , so i unrigged the mesh just see at least if the animation works, while this time animation played, it was not looking as it supposed. In nifskope NiUVController was animating the first UVset (0 the flames) without affecting the second set (1 that includes base texture with alpha layer, that gives shape to the molten effect). In the game the UVscrolling animation was affecting both UV sets totaly breaking my effect. It looks bit compliced but thats how it looks like.

Have you seen this new utility? => http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Utilities.Detail&id=78

I know Hrnchamd hasn't been around, but I thought someone else might be able to enlighten me on a recent event.

I have Morrowind installed on 3 different drives on the same computer... I only have MCP in the Morrowind folder on my C: drive, but when I start games on the other two MCP v1.8 is active and running, whether I want it to be or not.

Since I don't want other mods (including MCP) for some testing purposes, I'd like to have it only effect the install where MCP is installed. As a workaround, I change the name of the Bethesda Softworks folder on C:, and that apparently disables it.

I was wondering if there is a less annoying way to configure MCP for only one drive?

It is already working for only one installation. Perhaps you've patched others too or something wrong with the shortcuts(if you are using them). Check the shortcuts path in their properties and editing date of Morrowind.exe files.

The shortcut paths are correct... the Morrowind.exe on the other drives go back to the last install date... (long before I was using MCP), and the Morrowind on C: shows as modified 9-17-10. i'm fairly certain that's the date Installed MCP 1.8.

Also, the data files as shown in the launcher reflect the correct mods (which are different) on each install.

I believe MW uses a registry entry that points to the executable. You may be out of luck with trying to run a non-MCP version unless you want to rename the MCP'ed version to something else like morrowind.bak.

First of all, I just thought I'd weigh in on enchanted items. To me, certain items should have an "always works" effect. For example, any unique enchanted item (which is essentially an artifact) and constant effect items. These just say "reliable" to me. On the other hand, I think adding a failure chance to normal enchanted items (including player-made non-CE items) would be good for balance. I see little wrong with Enchant doubling as D&D's "Use Magic Device" skill. I don't know how practical this would be in execution, but that's my take.


On a separate note, there is one thing I have been desperately wanting to see from MCP. As yet I am disappointed. If at all possible, can the next version please...please make it so that custom potion names don't clear every time you click the "Make Potion" button? I often use creative names for multi-effect potions, and it takes too long for renaming each one. Especially when making them in bulk.

Yeah, that's what I thought but it looks like the only thing in there is "Installed Path":
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\\Installed Path
What happens if you start one of the non-MCPd executables directly rather than going through the Morrowind Launcher? Maybe the launcher always launches the EXE that's in Installed Path..?

The launcher will always start the last installed exe. I had that problem awhile ago when I installed a second MW. I thought I broke it because MGE wasn't running anymore, but it turned out that even though the launcher had the correct modlist, it was still launching the new install instead of the first one.

I just stopped using the launcher. I posted here (mod forum) and everyone seemed to agree that the launcher has some issues and its better to just create shortcuts to Morrowind.exe.

That's all it took. Making a shortcut to the exe works like a charm. Thanks to everyone for your efforts and input.

Well, I have a requested change for the MCP that would make my mod less POINTLESS:

Make Fortify Maximum HP actually DO something useful!

The way that the game is designed now, fortified HP serves absolutely NO purpose in this game. The effect NEEDS to be changed so that when you receive damage in battle, it is subtracted from the fortified health first, and not your natural health. In this way, it will act as a simple preemptive heal that is balanced by being more costly to use and maintain than regular restoration.

The second thing that is a problem is that with my mod, state-based HP is a little wonky... You see, right now, the way things currently are, if you increase your HP by temporarily fortifying your endurance or strength, it is a little risky because when the effect wears off, the damage you have taken will be recorded and you will risk dropping dead suddenly. However, I believe that this can be modified using scripting, and simply setting my mod to record percentile damage instead of flat damage. This would make fortifying your health MUCH more effective, because when the effect wore off, your health would be adjusted according to the percentage of health that you had lost.

I second this. Hell, I didn't even have to take damage for Fortify Max HP to kill me. I had a constant effect enchantment on a cuirass, and I could put it on and take it off, and immediately die because of it, regardless of anything that's hit me inbetween.
