Extract the redist file to a temporary directory, and run DXSETUP.exe. Afterward, you can delete the temporary folder. Good luck!




This is pretty typical, for anyone who has followed the development of MCP over its lifetime. I'm sure he'll be back when he has time, no worries.

Cheers!

I've just tried to do the test interior. It works perfectly with lighting changes - it is dark at night and bright in the day. Also I can look out from the window due to the meshes I've modified. Though there is a strange problem - a strange plane hiding everything beyond it appears on a certain distance. Also after resting for a while a rat emerged in the room and forced me to flee... I hope it likes its new house...

The problem is that I don't know how to avoid the appearing of the intruders...

Wow, so beautiful!!!!

Thanks to everyone who made this mod possible. I had to turn down the draw distance down to 15 cells to keep it at a playable FPS but that's a more than worthy sacrifice for what I get in return

Interior water is completely flat, textureless and opaque on my setup. Is this a known problem?

Hmmm, I don't think so. I tried to find a quick place to use as an example, and I hope these help, but does your interior water look like these shots?

This happens when I don't check "Interior Water (heavy)" while generating statics. I don't think it's checked by default.

The screenshots I posted are with that option checked during static generation. You are correct that it is unchecked by default.

Ah, well I had that same exact problem, but then when I rebuilt my distant land textures, this time with the setting checked, it went away. So dunno what to tell ya.

Hmm, now I'm confused ... I thought my interior water looked fine. If it shouldn't look like what it does in the screenshots I posted, then what should it look like?

I have a realy strange problem: after some minutes playing I've got a great FPS hit and water turns out to be absolutely flat though still reflective. While trying to take a screenshot, I get a message "DR3DX error..." and no chance to take a shot...

Did it happen just once, or all the time? Try updating DirectX and your graphics drivers. If the problem persists, install a utility to monitor your GPU temperature (like RivaTuner). It might be because of the video card overheating.

Hmmm, strangest problem, I've tried turning things on and off and to no avail.

If I just look at a certain point, everything becomes instantly brighter. Everything else is working fine, HDR, Bloom, DOF, SSAO etc. It doesn't seem to be consistent, just a random point in space depending on where I am in the world. The sky will go from being nice to instantly 100% brighter. There is no transition, but as I stated before, HDR is working fine and so is bloom.

What's going on?

Try to take a screenshot before the frame rate hit, just to make sure it's not unrelated.

I remember getting fps hit when I played on a laptop for too long. I don't think Morrowind has any memory recycling and that was the cause of my problem. The more cells you load the more memory you start using, so check your memory in task manager to see if you are running out RAM.

I'm talking about Mouseplay's problem.

Fixed this, don't know what I did, cleared all shaders and loaded them again in the exact same order, seemed to work :\

The problem is that I'm unable to take screenshots - when I try doing it the message DR3DX error appears. Reinstalling DirectX, video drivers and MGE XE do not help...

Disable XE, try then. Try to isolate the problem as much as possible. Does the message appear in game or in a separate window? Does the game crash when you try?

Seconded.


Hrnchamd, could you please correct this so that slash is implemented?

I thought I saw somewhere in one of these threads that these features, most importantly the crucial MGE functions would be added in some future version. Is that still the intention? Unfortunately this release of MGE is completely unusable. Shadows are nice but the on-screen clock and companion health bars are far more important.

:blink: hope you're NOT seriously!!??

I'd certainly agree if you'd included 'Necessities Of Morrowind' to the list or Vurt's plugins for example, but THIS?
Are those features so indispensable and immersive, really?
Hope you're not seriously.. :ermm:

Huh? Is Necessities of Morrowind somehow incompatible with MGE XE?

I'm not implying it's incompatible .
With that simple comparison I'm just trying to estimate the importance of plugins Nich had mentioned for gameplay immersion. Is it really so indispensable that he's ready to abandon MGE XE in all its glory?
What is more important, I think that Hrnchamd's efforts at MGE development are invaluable, he's definitely a genius.. while such a negative comments bring only demotivation and disappointment.
Just an opinion, meant no harm..

P.S. :facepalm: It's really hard to express your thoughts and emotions the right way when english is not your first language.. and not even a second.

Hey guys, I've had a problem with Mge and XE for a while, I also asked about this somewhere else but they couldn't help me there. When I'm in-game, the textures on everything except for distant land and the sky constantly flicker bright white. Screenshots: http://img820.imageshack.us/i/flicker1.jpg/ - http://img143.imageshack.us/i/flicker2.jpg/ - http://img59.imageshack.us/i/flicker3.jpg/ (Do note that these were taken using Mge rev178, and not XE. The problem persisted when I switched to XE though). I do know that the problem has nothing to do with AA, AF, LOD bias, distant land, shaders and V-Sync, Z-, W- or Table-fog. I tried to disable those and it didn't work. Also, I can't test wether or not it has to do with MGE at all because when I disable MGE morrowind CTDs on startup. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

P.S. I have an ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro with the latest drivers and Ati Tray Tools enabled.

Yeah, I heartily agree. Especially because, aside from shadows, I had a noticeable increase in stability with MGE XE.

I just didn't understand the remark about the incompatibility with NOM - but now I see it wasn't meant as such :tongue:



You probably have some mods that are MGE-dependant (that is, they're dependant on MWSE functions which are specific for MGE), so try to identify and disable them. It'd definately help if you could see wether the problem is still there with MGE - are you absolutely sure it's not caused by shaders?
