Morrowind GOTY Question..., Install order... Options

[mALX]

Next...Thank you mALX for the instruction book stuff. Got all 3 loeaded now. It would have been my luck that I would have done it in the wrong order.

I'm probably forgetting something, but I can always ask later.

Thanks again for all the help.

Anytime!! I have all the books that came with it and a game guide - got them all for Xmas, but none of them opened till today, lol.

Ugh...this is where my frustration kicks in. I downloaded MGE, Visual C++, and the DirectX 9.0c addons. Got the Visual C++ and DirectX files installed...so far so good. I followed the directions for installing MGE and the MGE UI won't launch. I get an error message that says some files are missing. GRRRRR

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

EDIT - Problem solved. MGE working perfectly!

Did you start the game and then boot up MGE when it started working?

I ask because it might have been looking for the INI file, which I believe the game generates the first time it is loaded.

Also, are you using rev. 380 or rev 382? If using the former, consider switching to the latter, because the new water shaders they provided there are out of this world.

MGE is working fine now. I still need to fiddle with the settings a little to get it looking better (especially the blur in the distance). My mistake was in the install. Once I found that problem, she was a breeze.

I am using 3.8.0. Is the difference that great to uninstall it and install 3.8.2b? I think the water looks fine right now. I get confused with the whole shader thing, so I am probably not using the version I have now to it's full potential.

As for the mods:

Vurt's flora mods:

Also, here's a nice site you can use to get started on your mod collection: http://btb2.free.fr/morrowind.html

I have found several of Vurt's mods on TESNexus. Are you using all of them? Is there a bundled mod that has all of them included? I count 17 diffetent mods by Vurt on the nexus.
