QUOTE(TheOtherRick @ Mar 8 2011, 10:35 AM) Well, I was going through some boxes and I found my copy of Morrowind GOTY Edition. It has 4 CDs -
*Morrowind *Tribunal *Bloodmoon *TESCS for Morrowind
The problem is that the instruction booklet is missing. Here is the question...Is there a specific order that I need to install the two expansions after installing the Morrowind disc? I'm not concerned with the TESCS disk yet.
Also, does anyone know if after all 3 disks are installed, will there be further patching required?
And lastly, are there any unofficial patches that I should install?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I've got my book out - Morrowind has to be installed first (of course) - All it says is to run the "Set-up.exe" Next install Tribunal, lastly install Bloodmoon - because Bloodmoon installs the patches to the game The construction set - isn't necessary unless you want to use it.

The screenshots in the normal game work almost the same as in Oblivion. You edit the INI to allow you to take screenshots, and then use the Print Screen key. Unfortunately, this does not work if you are using MGE (like I very obviously am). In MGE, the screenshot function is bound to a key macro. In order to set it, launch the MGE UI, open the macro editor, select a key, and in the two drop boxes that are not grayed out, select "Function" and "Take Screenshot." I've bound the function to the ] key, myself. By the way, if you think you are seeing 3D water in those shots, you are not mistaken. *seething about Oblivion's horrible water* This post has been edited by Thomas Kaira: Mar 8 2011, 08:44 PM

Morrowind GOTY Edition ????

Do enjoy yourself in this strange new world... and if you know what to do, perhaps you could get scenes like these!First, I have to give you an FYI. When I click a link in your posts, I get hit with an bot that tranfers the webpage from the one you linked to an AVG anti-virus advertisement. I have to get completely out of my browser to close it. This has happened more than once, so I didn't mention it until now, thinking the first time may have been an oddball occurance. Also, this ONLY happens when I click on links that you have posted. No problems with anyone elses. That said, I was able open the photos from the url in your quote. I recognized Pelagiad in the first screenie, but not the other two locations. What ever mods are running make it look way better than it looks on my screen now! You posted later about MGE. I am going to grab that one now. I have to have that one because I have a wide screen and everyone looks obese! Do you recommend any others (without going hog wild)?

No problems with anyone elses. I do not have that problem with captain cook's links. I am using Firefox. Are you using IE? Whatever browser you have, I suggest checking to make sure you have pop-ups blocked. I do highly recommend MGE as well. It is the only thing that makes Morrowind playable for me. The constant fog of the original game drove me nuts. The DLCs that came with the game are all free downloads from Bethesda's site. I found the one that adds the archery shop to Vivec indispensable for my bowgirl. You might also want to look through TES Nexus for mods that add new heads, and hairstyles, as they are much higher quality than the vanilla game. For example: Artemis would never look this good in the original game. Without a doubt add Better Bodies as well, the originals look like insects, with their segmented limbs. It comes in an .exe, but is virus-free. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Mar 9 2011, 12:38 AM

No problems with anyone elses. I'll do a quick scan to be sure, but AVG shouldn't be hijacking my links like that. Could you get a screencap, perchance? (In case you are wondering, I am using AVG Antivirus). Is anyone else getting hijacked when they clicked those links? EDIT: Phew... thanks for taking a load off my mind, Rosa. @Rick, if you are using IE, do consider switching to Firefox. It's free, it's fast, and it's SO much more secure than Insecure Explorer.

Thanks TK!!! On what Rick said above me here - I haven't had a single problem with any links you posted to date, I've checked out every mod you listed, screenies, etc. - not sure if that helps you and Rick sort this out or makes it harder to figure out, just wanted to let you know. Right now my Antivirus is Kapersky if that helps. (and Internet Explorer whatever the latest version is) This post has been edited by mALX: Mar 9 2011, 12:52 AM

Well, it makes me suspect more that this is a problem on Rick's end, rather than mine. AVG is a reputable AV program, so it struck me as very odd that he was getting hijacked by ads for them. Makes me think there is a hole in his browser security, which is why I suspect he is still on IE (which is like swiss cheese in terms of exploitable back-doors). I keep a pretty tight grip on my browser security, myself: -AVG Browser Security (scans pages before you click the links) -Firefox - Ad Block Plus ( http://adblockplus.org/en/) And if all else fails, MalwareBytes is quite good at destroying anything that makes it past.

Alrighty then. First things first. I am indeed using IE-8. Switching to Firefox is certainly an option I will entertain. I will assume that Firefox is completely Windows 7 compatible? If the problem persists, I will make the switch. As an experiment, I clicked the same link and the problem did not recur. It has only happened twice, and both times were on TK's links. No biggie. The only reason I brought it up was just in case TK might have caught something. I did a complete scan on my end. McAfee and MalwareBytes both came up empty. Next on the list...Is MGE gonna be a monster like Wrye Bash? The link to Beth's forum page that TK posted scared the hell out of me. I need Visual C++ ? I'm only moderately computer literate, and I wouldn't have a clue what to do with Visual C++. Next... BTBs Morrowind Mod List...Awesome site! Thanks for sharing. 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.
