It's just I really support this project, and I don't want to let anything like that have to put it to a halt just because he wasn't aware.
the Vardenfell and Solstheim heightmaps are indeed imported, edited and rescaled versions of the original TES 3 heightmaps...I stated this from the very beginning of this project. All other TES 4 Morrowind mods do it the same way (like for example SoVvM and many others) ...as no other resources like texture replacers etc from Tes 3 are used this should be hopefully no problem.
Some time ago the german Total Tamriel mod used the original ( not resized) Tes 3 heightmap including a Morrowind texture replacer map....as far as I remember Beth was ok with this but as it was a 1. 1 copy of tes 3Vardenfell they did not want to have it discussed on the official forums....it wasn't banned though and is still avaible on nexus and other sites....
As we know Beth had a problem with converting original Tes 3 stuff or better said the complete game ....but there are tons of morrowind mods avaible ...armor, weapon, ingredients, books etc etc etc
without any problem...honestly everything is taken in some way from Tes 3...I think this is fine as long as nobody really uses 1:1 copies
cheers
