INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
- Download the .zip, .rar or .ace file.
- Extract the file into the Morrowind directory. Everything should go into the correct directories.
- Click on "Data Files" in the Morrowind menu and select the Morrowind Patch v#.#.#.esm file.
- If you have any other bug fix plugins selected, deselect them (except for Bloodmoon Wolf Greaves Fix and Anareen's Devil Tanto fixes if you get that problem)
- Play the game and have fun.
If you're starting a new game
- The first time you load you'll get an error message about MonthFixScript. Just press "Yes" to continue loading. You won't get the message after saving again.
Using with an existing saved game
If you are using the patch with an existing game there are a few things you will need to do (you don't need to do this if you start a new game).
- The first time you load the game you will probably get a couple of errors about scripts having a different local variable count (blueScript and dariusScript that I know of). Don't worry about that. Just click 'Yes' to continue loading. When you save with the patch active you will not get the errors anymore.
- Once in the game, open the console by pressing the ~ key. Then type startscript patchscript. You will be asked if your character is male or female (this will set up the PCGender variable) and the MonthFix will also be started.
- In the console (press ~ key) type sv. If in the list that is displayed, under "Global Scripts" it says blueScript->doOnce = 0, then type stopscript bluescript into the console.
Cleaning up the saved game and files if you were using the LtM - Master File to fix the bugs
If you want to clean up your saved game and Morrowind directory do the following:
- One variable was changed (LtM_PCGender -> PCGender), and if you want to clean up you saved game then just remove the LtM_PCGender global variable. Apart from that the saved game should be clean.
- Remove the files starting with tx_c_ring_ and ending with _ltm from the Morrowind\Data File\Textures directory. (DO NOT remove the ones that don't end in _ltm)
- Remove the files starting with c_ring_ and ending with _ltm from the Morrowind\Data File\Meshes directory.
WHAT IT DOES
This unofficial Morrowind Patch does following:
- Fix any bugs in the quests that make them incompletable or skip you ahead.
- Correct spelling & grammar mistakes in the dialogue and object names, and give them a uniform appearance.
- Make global scripts end when they are no longer needed.
- Make quests be marked as Finished so they no longer appear in the Active Quest list when they should be.
- Correct any mesh or texture problems in the objects.
- Correct incorrect subtitles
Complete list of things changed
What it doesn't do:
- Didn't fix most spelling & grammar errors in books and scrolls. These weren't fixed because if the Vvardenfell publishers want to print books with mistakes they should be able to (especially since they have been printed like that for many years... the same mistakes were in the books in Daggerfall)
- The groin mesh is still backwards on the bloodmoon greaves. Download the Bloodmoon Wolf Greaves Fix by Aedroth/Legion from http://legion.luffwhores.com/morrowind/bm_wolf_greaves.shtml to correct that problem.
- Quests aren't finished if you kill the person that gave the quest to you (with exception of Vivec, Fighter's Guild people)
- It doesn't do anything for the Life to Morrowind mods. Don't worry about any extra stuff being thrown in. It is all just fixing Morrowind.
CREDITS
Thanks to all the people who informed me of things that needed fixing.
I'd thank Bethesda too, except I think creating this plugin has driven me insane, and I was already crazy enough.
