The person working on Map 1's "MQ" is moving at an incredibly slow pace, and is busy now(I'm not sure what he's doing when he's not busy). Map 2 is much, much closer to a release than Map 1(If not Thanksgiving, an early Christmas present for sure).

However, we may release a version 2.5 of Map 1 sans the MQ, but including all the rest of the updates and a fix for the bug that disallows new games to join the Thieves Guild, along with numerous other updates and the remaining non-MQ quests once it reaches that state.

Thanks for the update and all the work that goes into a project like this. I mean that sincerely.

I'm always a fan of release early and release often. I'd be all for a 2.5 release of Map 1. Bug fixes are ALWAYS welcome, not to mention any new additions can be tested for bugs leaving the 3.0 release to focus more on the MQ.

Also I know you're a huge project with a big team, but if progress is slowing down, perhaps you could put out a call for some volunteers, even if they are just volunteering in the short-run for helping with specific tasks.

Cool that means I am safe although I will wait until the final version before downloading

The resource file (TR_Data.esm) has been modified to fix some bugs and add resources needed for Map2. Unfortunately, as a result, it doesn't work well anymore with Map1 -- the problems are very minor, but you do get annoying warning messages and some cells are affected. So, the release of Map2 should go together with an updated version of Map1 without these issues.

Sounds good! I look forward to it.

Don't expect any new quests just yet, though.

In fact, one has actually had to be removed for revamp purposes (Raiders in Firewatch).

Basically, the 'new' version of Map 1 will fix idiotic errors that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Nothing else. (We haven't had enough time to go through the lists and fix every floating static, for instance)


EDIT: Oh, and Prom, it's not so much that progess is slowing down, more that things are returning to normal. Remember all the years in the wilderness before 07's release of the second Map 1 Beta?

After the Herculean efforts of the Quested release, some folks (certainly myself) are feeling a bit burnt out, and have retired to more of a back-seat position (not that I had any position prior to '07, but still...). However, we've got several new, exciting questers on the team, and once Map 2 comes out, I think my enthusiasm for proper 'work' (it's still just a hobby, though ) will return.

I'm back to the forums after some months of inactivity.



Excellent news Haplo, excellent news!!! :celebration: celebration: celebration:
Due to some very serious hardware issues, I'm actually unable to run any Construction Set, mod or videogame with my poor computer (nor I have the chance to install Morrowind to any other PC); anyway I'm looking forward to this forthcoming amazing new double-release, and ready to come back to the playtesting machine when finally a new hardware will arrive.

Keep up the good work!

:rock:

Ah the famous and non-existent quarantine.

We know it doesn't exist because people obviously come and go all the time. Look at the ports! There's even a quest where the player gives someone the cash to return to the mainland.

Then the player really struggles to get to Mournhold and constantly has to dodge getting thrown into a cell for very obviously breaking this quarantine. The Nevarine by definition has come from.. oh no, you don't.

I have always put this down as a reference to the difficulty for 'normal' people getting into the Capitol district of Mournhold. Why? Because Helseth is paranoid and has very shaky political control and is as popular as a skunk at a perfume parlour. Cast in this light, the 'quarantine' actually makes sense as a political fiction to keep the lid on the pressure cooker.

Awesome. Can't wait to check out Kemel-Ze. :clap:

I'm very excited about the news To Oblivion with Oblivion, Morrowind along with your incradible work rules big time.

I went to Telvanni Council House in Port Telvannis, and did that strange Levitation thing. When the levitation ended, I still countinued levitateing. Can anybody help me in this? It's very difficult to move in Interiors.

It's a script thing, I believe.

You can try the console command:
player->SetFlying 0

Yeah, the platform in the Telvanni Council house has a script attached which allows you to levitate to reach the Mouths. However, your issue sounds strange: I have never had it. Anyway, there should be a console command to stop the script... Anyone of you knows it?

- EDIT: moonsugar found it.

A while back, I used a mod that allows you to start a character at Firewatch. While none of the quests had been added, of course, it was very cool to explore this huge new area that had been added to the game. There were lots of powerful opponents, many of which forced my low-level character to run screaming like a little girl. (Or they killed him so fast he didn't have time to scream...)

The only issue I encountered was finding spells for my beginning spell-caster to buy. Many of the standard spells just didn't seem to be available from any of the spell merchants. I think I eventually found someone with a Levitation spell that I could buy, but I don't think I ever found Water Breathing or Water Walking or any of the other basic spells that I rely on. It seemed like many of the spell merchants had the same few spells for purchase, and they weren't really ones I had need of (too high level/difficult to cast or too specialized). Does anyone know if the variety of spells available for purchase has increased in the most recent release?

Chargen Firewatch. I have that on my backup CD, but it's for TRMap1 v1 Anyone want to update it? I did like starting in Firewatch. It was a pretty nice mod.

It didn't helped. And I think I know why. I was no levitateing. There were no strange circles under me. But when I saved and exit and loaded the game again, iwas no levitateing.????

The Telvanni Council of Bugs levitation spell lasts about 2-3 minutes of playing time more than needed, which means my character can usually conduct business and still get almost all the way back to the Avenue before it wears off.

But one time when I use Levitating potion and when it's effect ended, istill was levitateing.

I refused a quest for a slaver form House Dres (i think) in port Telvanni. He was standing next to a guard on a giant wasp. Even though i refused to help him, i got a journal quest opened, just saying nothing more than i refused to help him. Is there something i should do next, or is the quest finished?

Sounds like you refused to help him to me, so you wrote it down in your journal so you wouldn't forget. Have you tried getting the quest from him again yet? Maybe he'll forgive you...

I see this is still in Beta - well, the final beta, according to the release notes on PES. Will this ever move out of beta and to a final release, or are things pretty much done and there aren't going to be any updates?

There will be at least one future (for now we can only assume that will be the 'final') version of Map 1.

Even in its current form, however, this is perfectly usable.

By 'Beta' we don't mean 'buggy', just 'not finished yet'. If you wish to download, however, get the version included in the DL of Map 2. That has some important bugs fixed.

I don't think that is it, he dosen't want to have anything else to do with me when i talk to him again, could anyone give me a console command to finish the quest? I like a tidy journal.
