Morrowind Modding, Tips Hints Clues Advice Options

[mALX]

Played with retexturing yesterday, now I need to figure out how to get the new textures to load into the CS. It is taking the new meshes, but not the textures.

I am pretty sure it has to do with the naming system in the Morrowind Data file - so am knee-deep in revamping my mesh/texture file names (thank goodness I don't have that many yet).

Princess Stomper gave me some wonderful hints yesterday, and I know many on here played and modded Morrowind as well - hoped to get some advice and tips from anyone who has modded in Morrowind - will greatly appreciate even the basics!

I played in the construction set just a bit yesterday, was comfortable with the basics - but not the intricacies/quirks of the naming issues, etc.

So: "HELP!" (and) "Thank you so much!" to anyone who is willing to share some of their vast wealth of knowledge !!!

PS:

@ Ghastley - You might need to make a small partition with a different OS to bypass the compatability issues, but ... if you DO begin modding in Morrowind, I am standing in line waiting for whatever you crank out to add to my game!

The better body mod made a huge diff to me, and the body looks decent nude as well. Not quite on par with Oblivion, but I was really pleased with the result (especially when compared to the vanilla).

Another thing - there are VERY few animations made for Morrowind that I could find. There is one for dancing and another for a "hug" type vampire feeding (that is actually quite good).

Princess Stomper said that to make the NPC sit you have to (on activate the chair) force them to equip a different pair of legs and hips that is in the sitting position - that is how the sitting is done.

I found a few of the "body bottom halves" to use, and am going to script some of the chairs in her house mod so she can sit in them.
