Could we stay on topic please.

I'm looking into fixing the lighting discontinuities (lighting failures at edges) right now, as well as an attempt to make reflect/bumps appear the same brightness as local lighting.

I don't know if this is the case for just me, but at least one aspect of the Code Patch seems to break the ability to catch diseases. Completely removing the patch fixes this, but with save game patch (and possibly other patches in the *bug fix* category as well), it will cease to work.

Um, What? Are you certain? Because that doesn't seem to make sense. Can you see if you have immunity to diseases? This would have been reported long before now if it's truly the Code Patch's fault.

Can you check again to make sure?

It appears to be the case. My install is unmolested by any non-cosmetic mod and this is a relatively new file (no corprus part yet). I can run around the Ashlands and fight dozens of diseased and blighted creatures and loot their corpses, but to no avail. Removing all the patches under the *bug fix* category fixes it. I'm currently trying to figure out which specific fixes are causing it.

Sounds like somebody is delving into solving graphical bugs again?

If you can do it, it'd be terrific!

Just tested it with my setup, I still caught disease and blight off spawned creatures. It took about 20 tries per corpse to catch anything, perhaps this low rate is either a bug or deceptive randomness. Turn up the disease catching GMST and test it again.


Just fixed it. There's no more discontinuities, but I need to check for performance implications. I know how to adjust the lighting culling distance if I have to keep it on.

Really, "on use" doesn't seem that bad to me for arrows, from a role playing perspective anyway, except that you would end up with hundreds of them...


It would be great if they could both function with one at 100%. I think something like that was mentioned not long ago, but it was deemed too complicated. Maybe it will come around one day, after all, arrow enchanting was pretty messy in the beginning.


That would be nice, really. But with mods it's not going to be likely I suppose, and the space could be used to fix something else. Still, one less mod is nice.


Well, that's all that matters. It was funny though.


That's awesome. You are on a roll lately. I can't tell what you like more; Morrowind or fixing it.

Am I dreaming? What's happening? :nuke: <<
Next year newbies will find a terrific game.(OT: This reminds me a dream: DNF was released in 2001 and I am in their forums on a quest of polishing it's graphics. Well, I am but with Duke Nukem 3D, it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9nVuf6OM2g which supports http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/vtastek/duke3d/polymer/ss01/Microshot.jpg.)

PS. I have to find my old ini settings now.

OMG

You, sir, are awesome, just awesome.

Has anyone ever brought up the topic of a proper no-glow? The esps that set RGB to black effectively disable my bump maps.

Tried that BEFORE the plugins actually. I dunno if it works as intended but, but the enchanted weapon still glows red or green depending on wot the enchantment is. I think it is because of the bumpmapping that it shows up in fact, the original objects may be quite alright with this.

I think Pluginless NoGlow works well, I haven't got any problems with it, and it certainly removed all glows from the game.

Yup must be the bumpmap that does it then

Are we talking about 'checkerboard lighting' issue here? :blink:
Sir, you gonna be the hero of both Nirn and Earth if you succeed! :foodndrink:

What I've found: if you apply bumpmap to something it overides the gladwrap on enchantment, BUT, the coloured glow remains, and acts as if you tinted the environment map.

This will likely be the last time I bring this up, unless I think of another idea of course.

The stolen item issue. Gold can have an owner, be stolen, and then the ownership tag is removed when it is placed into your inventory. If it would be possible to remove the ownership tags on stolen items when you pick them up, then we would have a solution. It would be more realistic that way, as if you aren't seen taking it, then no one can know who it belongs to. Of course, the owner should be able to recognize their belongings, so the guards should be able to take it... But stolen gold isn't removed from the inventory when you are arrested. You would still be given a bounty for the value of the item stolen if you are caught, so I don't find it terribly unbalancing. Mods can always be used to make thievery more difficult. Or if there could be a way to remove the ownership after a certain amount of time passed, so you would have to be "on the run".

You mean as is recounted here:-
http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/Morrowind/NifSkope_Tutorial_1

any chance about looking at this? I always wondered if casting through enchanting was broken since there was no animation or delay.

i'd like to ask a question... are these patches something the morrowind community continued to do after bethesda stopped caring about morrowind?

I had a terrible mod conflict that broke LCV and made NPCs disappear. After reading about the cause, the local ref thing, it was the last straw and I had to start fixing the mess. It started with small things, then Psyringe came along and convinced me to research the local ref bug with his help. Twelve months later..

No, not as was recounted there. Not quite. "meaning the appearance will be the same enchanted or not" that is a false statement, it will still glow the enchantment colour, and the bump mapping doesn't quite work right depending on what colour it is.

"it will still glow the enchantment colour"
Not for me it doesn't. Doesn't glow at ALL!
"that is a false statement"
I have a pair of boots that are enchanted, do not glow and lol at that. (grin)
Have you followed all the steps? Sounds like you are doing something wrong.
The bump mapping is added AND then disabled. No glow or visible effect.

so basically, this is the next level of must have patches after bethesda stopped providing updates for morrowind?
i mean, they don't change the game in huge ways, add extra monsters or megasuper weapons, it just improves gameplay by fixing bugs, patches and things that the original developers overlooked?

No no like I said I'm wasn't talking about the same thing as the article. Bumpmapping isn't being used to stop the effect here, it's used for err, bumpmapping. It's the enchantment effect that's ruining my bumpmap. Okay so maybe that wasn't a false statement.
