Finally finished this one. It's sat half-done on my hard drive for months... kinda got distracted by real life stuff. You know how it is. Then I saw that 'Morrowind Grass Project' thread last weekend, and felt inspired.

And http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=775047&st=0 a link to the WIP thread if you want to see some screenshots.

Unfortunately, due to a stupid oversight on my part, this conflicts with MCA 5.2 (I've been using the 6.0 beta, and didn't realise - silly me!). I've just uploaded a new MCA.esm to elricm.com which is compatible. Ill post a link as soon as it's available.

Edit: http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=4354 it is.

The Undead v3.0 by Neoptolemus - Tribunal and Bloodmoon required
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adds 150 new types of undead enemies to the leveled lists of Vvardenfell,
Solstheim, and the Mournhold Sewers. Every creature has its own unique mesh,
thanks to the amazing power of NifSkope. The new undead will appear in the
appropriate caves/tombs/dungeons, and also in exterior cells after dark.

This should be compatible with all the creature mods out there (so long as you
merge your leveled lists).

List of new creatures and the approximate level at which they will appear:

Ghost (Passive) - Level 1
Crippled Skeleton - Level 1
Phantom - Level 1
Restless Dead - Level 4
Skeleton Warrior (Armoured) - Level 10

VERSION HISTORY:

This version is so radically different from the previous ones that there's really
no point in listing the changes. Pretty much everything has been changed. Think
of it as a brand new mod rather than an update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

KNOWN ISSUES:

Sometimes the Ghosts lose their transparency. Dunno why. Saving and reloading
usually helps.

Note that you may see some mesh clipping on the Zombies. This is because a lot of
the meshes are being made to use animations they weren't originally designed for.
I'm not a 3D modeller, so I can't fix them. Sorry.

Thanks so much for your work.

Oh this looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us! :goodjob:

this looks really interesting, will have to try it out .. Thanks for sharing Neoptolemus

Oh yea one thing. Is the MCA.esm going to be fully comptible or do we still need to use the patch? If so is there a specific way you recommend creating the merged lists?

AWESOME! This comes at a VERY good time Neo. These are some of the best undead creatures I've seen yet. I love the variety. I especially love the use of the zombie animation to create legions of fallen warriors. Good work. :goodjob:


Now the Belmont clan in my current mod project have something to slash their way thru. :shifty:

will the new MCA.esm be available tomorrow? I'm looking forward to trying this.

The patch won't be necessary with the new .esm. I've uploaded the file to elricm.com, so it will be available whenever they update their database.

This is good I think. I've been needing some female zombie creatures for the Silent Hill portion of Otherworldy Goods to make a bubblehead nurse. I assume it's just as okay to modify these for use in my own mods as long as credit is given to the original creators?

Heh. I notice one particular omission compared to the WIP thread. I hope you realize you've disappointed the necro contingent of the Morrowind community.

(I'm kidding, I'm kidding.)

Fantastic work here, thank you!

YES! I just love Zombies. Thanks so much for this mod, has very great potential.

Yay! Downloaded :goodjob:

I have been checking Elric and i noticed here it is http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=4354



Will we still need the minions of house dagoth compatability patch when using this MCA?

There's a issue of matching ID's even with the updated esm but only with MCA Names 5.2. Unticking the esp for that solves the problem but I guess we need a reworking of the Names mod.

This is awesome (now that it works with MCA 5.2). I don't know if this was a glitch, but while in Balmora, i found one of the merchant carts. Generally, these have merchants with them, but I couldn't find one. After looking I noticed that a headless Skeletal apparition was standing in the cart. After clicking and disabling the cart (via console), the ghost disappeared as well. I just thought that was kind of cool, Undead merchants! ftw!

lol, awesome mod

The undead element of MCA was always one of my favourite parts, so this is welcome stuff.

Ouch, my new level 2 PC just ran into a phantom and got wacked before I could figure out what was up.

sieboldii

I remember getting jumped by a group of those for the first time. I only had a low level character too, a Redguard Scout. It was at night in the Bitter Coast, just to make things extra creepy. I heard the Phantoms wailing, looked around too see what the hell it was, and saw an assortment of floating weapons and armour fragments racing towards me. There was no way I was sticking around to find out anything more. I hit Adrenaline Boost and sprinted all the way clear to Hla Oad, where I hid behind the Hlaalu guard and whimpered a bit.

Thank you for this, Neoptolemus, and for the compatibility patch. :goodjob:
First class as always.

This is magnificent, I love undead creatures and it really fits the overall theme of morrowind better than most new monster mods, I especially love the Lich & ordinators (althought their armor is a bit too clean)
...cheers!

* places reminder *

Awesome! Thank you :twirl:

I've ran into an error, it seems the sound files for "zombie roar" and various other sounds are missing (start fighting a zombie, error message pops up)

Is there a way to enable yes to all in the Morrowind ini so that I don't get the error message. I could care less if i get the sound or not, the message just bothers me.

By the yes to all in the ini file, I mean that you could make it to where you never have to click "yes" to keep playing your game when an error pops up.

Help?

Yes, add this line:

AllowYesToAll=1

Then what I like to do is keep an old mod around and not update it with wyre mash so that I can click yes to all right as the game loads. I mostly do that because of creatures X.
