This dimwit needs a little help.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and to modding in general.

I run Morrowind in Ubuntu Linux using Wine, and it works perfectly. The problem I'm having is that although Westly's Master Head Pack is apparently loaded during the the game loading sequence, it doesn't appear to make any difference to the appearance of the characters. The only difference I've noticed is that if I run 'enableracemenu' in the console, there seems to be a much wider range of faces and hairstyles to choose from than before.

I've put the textures in the Textures folder, the meshes in the Meshes folder and the .esp file in Data Files. I haven't changed the folder structures, btw. I've checked the box alongside Westly's Master Head Pack in the Data Files section of the launcher and I've run Mlox.

I don't think the problem is caused by the fact that I'm running the game in Linux; I got exactly the same result when I tried installing WMHP in Morrowind in Windows XP. It seems to me that I've either not done something that I should have done, or I've done something wrong.

Can anybody shed some light on my problem, please?

Thanks

Westly's Master Head Pack X does NOT change NPC faces. It just adds new faces for player.

Westly's Master Head Pack doesn't change the NPCs in-game. It's only for the player.

MCA 6.1 uses the faces and hairs from the head pack for its NPCs. I use Vvardenfell Visages along with it to replace the vanilla NPC faces. They match quite nicely. :D

Note: I tried to get a link to VV, but ES Search is down at the moment and it doesn't seem to be available at PES, TESNexus, or MMH. :sadvaultboy: I'm sure someone here will have a link. :D

Ahh, right. That explains it. Told you I was new to modding.

Thank you both.

No problem. Everybody has to start somewhere. :D

Found the link to http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5883 on PES. Funny how the search didn't show it. :banghead:

Found the link to Vvardenfell Vissages on PES


Found it and downloaded it. Haven't installed it yet.

Thanks.

Not to denigrate the work of those who contributed to Westly's Master Head Pack, but given that you're mostly looking through the eyes of your character, or following him from behind, it seems a little pointless having all those heads, etc. Or am I missing something?

It's a vanity thing. :D

While it's true that you really can't see your own face when playing, It does make for some very nice screenshots. :hubbahubba:

Ah, I see. Haven't given any thought to screenshots as yet. Not had anyone to show them to. Except my wife and she's not interested. :violin:

Show them to us :)

There are even better faces for the people - all made by Westly (I combine them with Vvardenfell Visages because the dark elves and imperials are still missing):

You can always put Vvardenfell Visages over it again, if you don't like it :)
