I understand what you meant now.

Thing is, a 'bump map' seems to ALWAYS over-ride any other NiTextureEffect. They will interact, often in an undesirable way, but if you want an absolute no-glow built into the Nif, it works well.

Hi everyone,

First of all (obviously) many many thanks to Hrnchamd for a brilliant patch

I have recently installed v1.4 and am getting some kind of conflict which crashes Morrowind as soon as I try to load a save or start a new game with what looks to be Regionally Known Criminals mod, which is a shame because I love the mod, but the MCP takes precedence, so for the moment I have disabled RKC.

I get the following windows message box on crashing:

While I have quite a substantial list of mods in my game, I didn't have a problem with MCP v1.3 - the only thing I have changed in my game that would have caused the crash is MCP 1.4 (I have not added any additional mods above what I already had in my working game).

The simple fix is of course to leave out RKC, but I'm hoping someone might have some suggestions for me?

Cheers,

I think that is a remnant of the local ref bug fix. The problem you are facing I think is changing MCP version during a running game. Just a theory, hmm, no idea how to fix as of yet. I had a similar problem at some point but restarting game solved it.

Unfortunately this also happens when I launch a fresh Morrowind instance and start a brand new game, but thanks for trying to help. As soon as I remove RKC, all is OK.

Did anyone noticed the annoying bug where sometimes the map cells turns black in the World Map as you visit them? I really hate that one, it's so anti-aesthetic...

And also sometimes the Local Map only shows the white squares showind doors or passages to other cells, and nothing else (all the rest of the map is pitch black).

Ow! That looks like a corrupted Save error. Although, it shouldn't be able to do that with a brand new game. There might be something horribly wrong with your installation...

By the way, if you see an error like that, with @@@ and what not, it means it's a corrupted save. Which is odd, since the Morrowind Code Patch is supposed to fix that. I think.

Also, it may also be because you use Vista.

Just a little reminder: Hrnchamd and I are working on changing the soulgem formula, so that the capacity can be set independently from the value (amongst other things)

some more input from the community would be appreciated.

Ever since I downloaded the patch I keep getting an error with Morrowind Enhanced. I have it running but as soon as I start my game I get a message telling me Morrowind Enhanced.exe wasn't loaded and to quit Morrowind and start it. Has anyone else had a similar error?

Modifying the .exe through saves is not a good idea is it? Ever since I changed the patch options, the game WILL CTD on "Clearing Data" 100% of the time on the third load. Ah well, my re-loading was approaching ocd anyway, this will learn me.

The thing is I can't remember what options I originally had ticked! Otherwise I'd have reverted in a heartbeat.

@merunnin
No need to double post, especially within a minute of your previous post - forum etiquette dictates that you should edit your previous post instead. Forumers will thank you for it. ^_^

I usually put a copy of the patched exe in a separate folder with a note about what options were applied (or not applied since I usually use most of them) . That way, I can revert easily when need be - plus I also run it thru EXE Optimizer afterward which takes some time, so more convenient to have it backed up in that fashion.

Alright sure govner, just that usually when I see that a post has been edited I suspect something dodgy

You shouldn't need to load the game three times inside of the game, of course it's going to crash.

Seriously, you just don't load a save game three times like that. You do it once, and then the next couple of times, you exit out.

Just managed to get trueflame particles to stick onto the sword properly, whatever the race. There's lots of weird and redundant code in the scenegraph code. There were three places in the lighting code that needed fixing, a distance compare error for the ground planes, adjusting the falloff range, and moving actors didn't check the player's light.


Use enchanted editor to look how stolen items are stored. That's all the information I get to go on. It is thin.


Seems like it just spawns a bolt immediately, doesn't call any animation code.


I use RKC myself all the time, I doubt it's the mod. Script errors are just a common bug in Morrowind, try loading an earlier save then immediately loading the latest one. It should work eventually, then go to another cell and save.


I don't know if this will help; try not to reload in the same cell you saved in, from previous testing Morrowind doesn't always reset the cell perfectly. Sounds like it's confused by the third time.

Like trueflame specifically or particles in general? Either way, HOT!

I'm sorry to ask again, but it seems like my question went by unnoticed in a flurry of other questions, so I'm posting again.

Can't wait to see the fixes to lighting system Hrnchamd has mentioned earlier.
Hope those damn 'checkerboard' light artifacts will bliviongate: go away forever. [crosses fingers]

Yet another lighting bug found; when you equip a light it appears in first person and third person view, but the lights are separate objects and both light the environment. You may have noticed your torches are brighter than guard's torches, even if you're holding the same torch type, that's why.

I've corrected the checkerboarding effect as much as possible, it's a combination of three problems really, one of them is driver side. Nearly all Direct3D drivers only support 8 point lights per object, so in places where more than 8 lights overlap it can still appear. I estimate it occurs about 80% less often and where it happens it's not as obvious.

That first lighting bug is a bummer, I mean, it's really inconvenient to have two lights one that takes up a whole slot completely in vain. If what you say is true about 8 slots, they should be card about. And I know, 8 is usually the limit.

Looking forward to this fix =)

I die alot

Just tested it, MCP 1.4 worked with MWE fine. MWE is a little tricky usually; make sure you're using MWE v1.6 and running it all from an admin acccount. "Run as.." doesn't seem to be good enough.

I was using an earlier version but upon updating to the 1.6 MWE says it doesn't support my version of Morrowind. Hmm I'll mess around with it.

Problem solved. It's kind of odd that if I use a shortcut to MWE it seems to get an error, but if I start it by going into the Morrowind folder it works. Sorry for asking a few times btw, but the last few days I've been going through Morrowind withdrawl and not being able to get it working was killing me >_<

Heh, fair enough. Learn to adjust the difficulty slider, and turn on God mode.

Either that or get a lot of reflect and Luck.

Anyhow, Hrnch, what's the status on what the next couple of fixes are going to be?

@Hrnchamd
Here's another lighting bug: a light (alpha) placed in the world won't be immediately lit up by other surrounding lights until the cell is reloaded; picking up and putting down another surrounding light (beta) next to it will immediately show the proper lighting on light (alpha), but the just placed light (beta) will now exhibit the lighting problem.

It's most noticeable on lights with dark textures. Occurs in-game and while using TESCS.

Whaaaat? You've generalized too much. What should I do to reproduce it?
