Your Morrowind Mod Wishlist. : III - Morrowind

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, would it not be easier to simply use a Fire Damage spell that lasts awhile? It's doing the same thing, isn't it?

Afaik clouds are just a part of the sky texture so not possible unless someone makes MGE-compatible version of object type clouds or some shader-stlye clouds if that would work.

Yep, that's why it's on my wishlist, though it will probably stay there forever.

Nah, its about spell crits that are based on your Destruction-skill / Willpower and the enemies resistance / weakness to Elements.
So if I casted a fireball, there would be a X% chance of leaving the enemy "burning" (i know no better implementation for this than adding additional firedamage over time)
Same goes for Ice, draining the enemies speed for a while. (using the Iceblock spell from elemental magicka would be cool, too!)
And Shock. Maybe paralysing the enemy for a short time?
I have no Idea for Poison, though. But I never liked Poison anyway.

So, under the right conditions, the target would continue to suffer damage from the spell even after it has dissipated? Hmm... I suppose that one could script a creature or NPC to be susceptible to such a thing. Like, if Antares' Treant where to be set up so that it would catch fire and lose health after being hit with a Fire Damage spell. Yeah, I think that could work. Would take awhile though, applying the appropriate scripts to every creature and NPC in the game... :bonk:

What about a visual hit system for people that are used to Oblivion and don't come from a "roll to hit"/ D&D background? Not so much for me, but I know it's a sticking point for some younger gamers. Like... perhaps rather than "rolling a miss" when you have a visual hit, it could still make the hit effect but just do 1 point of damage, or something more complex based on how close you hit and your skill level.

Thieving - If you fail your roll to steal, which is likely as a beginner thief, you get attacked on a fail. So, playing a low-level thief always ends up with me just killing Nerano with no hope of actually stealing his key. In that respect the "fail or succeed" approach leaves the thief quests unplayable. I would have no idea how to fix something like this, as I'm an artist, writer, and designer, NOT a scripter, but these kinds of things would help add longevity to Morrowind in a modern gaming world.

I'd love a mod that lets you peacefully leave a faction. For example, I rise to Patriarch in the Temple, my character loses his faith and appoints someone to take his place. This way he can step out, keep the faction reputation. Then, in the faction section of the character screen, it'd be nice if it changed from Temple: Patriarch to Temple: Acquaintance.

It's possible to get around both problems. I know there's an auto-revive script of some kind out there (Ash-Kosh in Uvirith's Legacy auto-revives, though it's a little complicated regarding items) and I've seen warp-to-player scripts before (Jasmine, possibly several Grumpy/Emma companions).

Confirmed. My personal MCA companions script makes them behave like Oblivion/Skyrim companions, they collapse for a while instead of dying, and they heal on cellchange
The warping is usually working well enough, coupled with CDC's improved teleportation they never get lost.

» Sun May 06, 2012 12:52 am

abot - where can I get this script? The companions in the project I'm working on depend on the MCA 6 scripts right now, so as of now I've included a few companions, but I haven't really developed them as much as I'd like to.

Is there any way that script can be adapted for non-MCA companions? Julan has a really bad habit of getting blasted to death partway through the main quest, for example. Damn Dagoths.

I think so. The gist of it should be adding something like this to KS_JulanScript (not tested)

short deadif ( dead )	returnendifif ( GetHealthGetRatio > 0.2 )	; do nothingelseif ( GetHealthGetRatio < 0.03 )	set px to GetHealth	if ( px > 0 )		set px to ( 10 + px )		set px to ( 0 - px )		ModCurrentHealth px  ; force death to fix possible engine glitch	endif	set dead to 1	if ( companion == 1 )		MessageBox "Julan has fallen!"	endif	returnelseif ( companion == 1 )	; collapse instead of death, Oblivion-like	AIWander 0 0 0 0 0	ModCurrentHealth 10000	ModCurrentFatigue 10000	set px to GetFatigue	set px to ( px + 70 )  ; the more you add, the more time collapsed	set px to ( 0 - px )	ModCurrentFatigue px	returnendif

Tbh shader affected sky would probably be possible considering what all the guys did so far. Maybe if we bother them enough.... I know I too would like to see http://farm1.static.flickr.com/112/289393636_373436b203.jpg myself too.

Thanks, abot. I added those two scripts to my game but couldn't get it to work. Started getting error messages about objects called @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ and about manatees and such. I removed them but now my Morrowind is crashing just trying to load it. I should obviously stay away from trying to do scripting, lol.

But, I'd love to see that released as a mod to MCA!

I couldn't get the other script to work, either. No error messages, it just didn't do anything. No problem, though. Thank you abot.

I have no additional .esp at the moment, just direct changed http://www.mediafire.com/?f4e1f4xxh41w83i for my personal use. Try it from a fresh new game. If it works it may be worth extracting changes only.

I'd like quests that allow me to reach higher ranks in the Ashlanders and Blades than the vanilla MQ allows. To my knowledge no such mods exist.

Better Armor -As in Better Clothes style. For all expansions.. The game has been around for 8 years now.. It's time already. Staying true to original but getting rid of jointedness.

Better clothing for Bloodmoon -In 8 years no one could fix those four pairs of pants and shirts? -rme-

-edit-
Npc's that level with me. No more one hit kills when at high levels.

You said what I was thinking when I saw this topic. Speaking as a person who gets deeply involved in the role-playing aspect of the game, I really wish my character and her companions did not always stand at rigid attention. Recently I was play-testing a Neverwinter Nights module I've been working on and it's possible for the player-character and henchmen to actually sit down on the furniture or sit on the ground around the campfire in the evening.

I have wished so many times that my Morrowind character and her friends could do the same thing.

That is really the only thing about Morrowind I would change. I have horses (Pegas Horse Ranch), beautiful homes, pretty clothes and armor, and lovely faces and hair for my cast of characters. I just wish they were not always standing at "attention".

Yes.

Honestly, I'm surprised nobody's attempted either one. We have Better Clothes, More Better Clothes, Better Clothes for Tribunal, a patch to correct the shoe slots (which actually messes them up in-game), Darknut's texture replacers, Domina mesh replacers, Plangkye's partly done female cuirass mesh replacer, and whatever other replacers are out there, but we've never had a true Better Bodies armor replacer or anything for Bloodmoon.

I'd like quests that allow me to reach higher ranks in the Ashlanders and Blades than the vanilla MQ allows. To my knowledge no such mods exist.

I haven't seen any for the Ashlanders, but I have seen one for the Blades: http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=36891. Haven't tried it, so I don't know how it is.

» Sat May 05, 2012 5:44 pm

a patch to correct the shoe slots (which actually messes them up in-game),

To remove the error that happens in your ini you need to go into the cs and load up Better Clothes (or any other mod that adds shoes or boots)
then go to the clothing in question and select the other foot part as a blank part without selecting the actual mesh.

This should fix it. Save your esp and make sure it loads -after- the esp you are fixing..

I don't have Morrowind installed so cannot provide pics.. Sorry.
That mod actually messed up the shoes in my game so I got rid of it. Feet were clipping through the shoes.

-edit- do NOT make the mod you are fixing an active mod. This will save it and not create a new esp.

Don't forget to clean with tesame afterwards.. I think Enchanted editor also cleans mods.

Saw some posts for conversion of Robert`s Bodies and after looking at those meshes in Nifskope it seems to me it can be converted for Morrowind though there are some problems like neck portion is contained in head for oblivion but in can be solved.So i will add it in my to-do list after i return back to modding a few months later.

But i will require a skeleton of oblivion that can be used for animation of NPC bodies,so if anyone can point me to a download link for that??

I noticed a skeleton for use with multiple mods in Oblivion, maybe this might work? Can even possibly have new features for animations with this skeleton? ^^
http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=40482

It even has better bouncing breadloafs skeleton support! imagine that! lmao...

As of right now, it's called Dwemereth, and there's a pretty good reason for that. What I will tell you is to imagine most of Vvardenfell belonging to Dagoth Ur. Imagine his Ash minions being the accepted law enforcement in the land. Imagine cities like Ald'ruhn, Balmora, Gnisis, and Vivec falling into ruin while House Dagoth bases grow in scope and power. Imagine that next to nothing stands in Ur's way. Imagine that the past is not as you've known it to be.

You better finish that project. Sounds... Mindblowing.
