Mod Suggestions

[Cy]

Hello fellow Morrowind fans. I am about to start this game again since many years passed after i last played it. My Question is Which Mods do you suggest ?. If you recommend a Mod, please explain what the Mod does. I welcome every suggestions. I myself will share my experience with you too.

Better Graphics are always welcome since the game is old and my standards raised ( not to much though). New equipment mods are very welcome ( i do like the bsic equipment and dont want it to be changed). There was a Magic Rebalance Mod which gave your character magic regeneration over time (not just after sleeping). New Enemies that fit into the Lore are nice too and new Spells Places Quests. All Mods should not change the vanilla Morrowind to much (besides graphics, and the magic rebalance mod i mentioned) but rather expand it.

If you think of a Mod which you think is really good and worth to be tried out. Please post it too, i dont want to to miss good mods. Thanks in Regard

Darkelf Azu from House Telvanni =)

Randomly adds over 1000 types of NPCs to over 450 cells via leveled lists to bring
Morrowind to life. The NPCs have random heads, hair, and equipment (so no two will
look the same), and appear and disappear at random. This 'rotation' simulates
people traveling to and from towns, and going in and out of the taverns, shops,
guilds etc. The aim of the mod is to alleviate the 'staticness' of the Morrowind
world, which is a major (and dare I say well-founded) complaint about the game.
Think of it as a poor man's Radiant AI.

Sounds interesting i will try it out.

This is a bloated mod that's so far off lore that it adds borderline anime characters. :D I suggest you use Starfire's NPC Additions and its addons like HoldIt. It's lore friendly and uses game's resources, so it's very light. Add Children of Morrowind to that and you'll have a very immersive Vvardenfel.

Edit: Garçon, there's a Guardian of the Galaxy in my Morrowind! I just realized I wrote "Starlord's NPC additions" in my first post instead of Starfire. Sorry about that.

I installed the mod and now there are NPCS in various guilds that are called Warrior, Mage and Thief. i would say an NPC different from another when its called different to start with. Next step would be a different back story. There are some good npc's in this mod though. Those are followers for the most Part as far as i could have discovered.

Dave's Furniture Store Plug-In v2.01
for TES: Morrowind - September 2003

Dave Humphrey - [e-mail]
http://www.m0use.net/~uesp/
Erstam - [e-mail]


This plugin adds over 400 furniture items that you can pick up and move, allowing
you to completely alter your own house layout while in the game... the only thing
you gotta find is an empty house (now supplied as well). Items include all the
typical house furnishings (tables, chairs, beds, etc...), plants and trees for
decorating outside your house, and even placeable containers so you can store all
your loot.


FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------
- Over 400 new items that you can pick up, drop, and carry.
- A furniture store in Balmora (near the Temple), Hla Oad (just South of town)
and Vivec (North along the road from the Foreign Quarter) where you can buy
all the furniture you want.
- A 'magic' ring which will allow you to lock most furniture items in place
so you cannot accidently move them.
- A variety of plants and planters for your very own garden.
- New lights (including fires) to light up your home just the way you want.
- 7 new, empty homes which are purchased from Alorit Tiann in the Grand
Council Chamber in Ebonheart. They cost anywhere from 40,000 (small shack in
Hla Oad) to 1.2 million (grand mansion in Ebonheart).
- Buy strange and unique items in the Thrift Shop near Hla Oad. Includes Armor
Dummies, summonable lockpicks, probes and hammers (so you'll never run out)
and few sets of unique armor (total worth well in the millions, if you have
the cash).

Very big thanks to the following individuals whose efforts and long hours both prior and current helped make this project successful.

CanadianIce
Jeremy
Telesphoros

Special thanks to all awesome modders of the morrowind community whose work inspired me to create this mod. Especially to those whose work is now showcased as part of this mod. The mods are listed below and the original readmes included.

A very very big applause for Bethesda for creating such a great game!!!

*****************************************************************

Installation:

*****************************************************************
Requires Winace 2.0 or higher which can be downloaded from http://winace.com/
BTW---> For those who continue to ask why I use winace instead of winzip, the answer is simple the zip file version of this mod was almost 80 meg...30meg larger than the winace version. :)

The winace file will extract in its own subfolders that can either be extracted directly into your ...\Morrowind\Data Files\ directory or can be extracted to a temp folder and copied to that directory.

Files should be automatically placed as follows:
*.nif go to Data Files\Meshes\...
*.tga go to Data Files\Icons\...
*.dds go to Data Files\Textures\...

Balmora Expansion.esp goes to Data Files\ folder

readme may be deleted.

What this plugin does: (The Short Version)

Balmora expansion combines over 40 existing well known mods that effect or add to Balmora and the surrounding area. It creates tons of new material and models, adds cohesive dialogue and interaction between the old and new, adds quests, dungeons, houses that can be earned and ties it all together is a tight knit progressive story. The neat part is that none of the original town statics or interior cells were touched so any mods that only add to the original Balmora and doesn't effect landscape still works as do all mods that added stuff to the inside of existing stores. For Jeremy’s part he has created a number of sets of all new exciting armor and clothes, and created his first store for selling his stuff The Breton Knight. CanadianIce has created an all new Metal Queen Boutique store run by Erika's cousin Vonhelira. It is approx. the same size as her original in Dagonfell with over 15meg (compressed) of new fashions including several new styles based on new models for cloaks and short skirts. Both of these stores and the material contained in them will reside in the new Balmora exclusively.

Additionally Balmora Expansion includes a major sewer system part of which has been tamed of sorts and has become known as the Undercity. The Undercity was designed as a home for children of the night and darker beings. It currently houses a new version of Carnithus' Armamentarium, a temple to the Faceless God, a tavern, and a dark themed residence which can be earned as a home for the player if you are up to the quests. It also has room for several other stores should someone want to addon to the mod later down the road. All vampire friendly. This sewer system is compatible with Qarl's upcoming Underground mod with the 2 mods being totally independent yet complimenting each other thanks to some last minute work between groups.

*****************************************************************

What this plugin does, what it includes and its history: (The Long Version aka THE BOOK)

Over a year ago Gilgalas introduced a WIP mod on the forums called Balmora Trade City, an exciting concept that combined a number of popular mods effecting Balmora into a single compatible plugin with some new material. Like Silgrad Tower it had some open slots for interested modders should they want to join the project. It made it to early alpha stage but never got finished. Gilgalas is the inspiration for this work. I loved the idea but hated the implementation as it appeared as a random collection of mods that lacked cohesion, remember it was only an alpha and I'm sure it would have been awesome if it ever reached completion.

I took the alpha with Gilgalas's knowledge stripped it apart and began to regrow it, that was over 8 months ago. Balmora Expansion represents the end result. In addition to the new shops by CandianIce and Jeremy, and the new content I created, Balmora Expansion contains either the complete mods or parts of mods listed below.

This mod is really little more than a showcase for the awesome work done by the community as represented by the mods below. There were so many great mods to choose from I could not possibly include them all, I simply had to draw the line someplace. In some instances the mods had to be tweaked to make them fit into the storyline and feel of the city. An example of this was Faarp's Quiver's and Fletching Kit V2.5, his original NPC was standing on a street corner; in Balmora Expansion that NPC now shares a shop with her sister who specializes in selling bows. Together they operate an archer shop. In some instances only parts of mods were used such as GhanBuriGhan's The Regulars - Sitting NPCs where I only used some of his sitting people not all of them. Also I have included the original readmes for all mods used in this so you can see the full list of credits. Anyways on with the lists:

***Balmora Expansion includes the following new mods created specifically for it:

*Vonhelira's Metal Queen Boutique by CanadianIce, featuring all new fashions for both male and female players. Special thanks also to MP*Canus and Brady226 for the textures of some of the male versions of the robes in the boutique. For all those who pleading for a second store, your pleas have been answered.

*The Breton Knight by Jeremy featuring not only all new armor styles but also Jeremy's first store designed specifically for selling his awesome works.

Plus the new stuff I created. (You have to figure out those yourself, can't give away all the surprises).

***Balmora Expansion incorporates the following mods that should be unchecked in the MW data files list if you are currently using them:

Balmora Manor
Balmora Zoo
Balmora Bathhouse
Balmora Museum
Morrowind Abodes (Your Balmora Residence.esp only)
Dave's Furniture Store Plug-In v1.6

Nyagetan
Healers
WeaponPack2
ThievesGarb (Black Clothing)

***Balmora Expansion includes elements of the following mods customized for use with this mod. The original mods can still be used in conjunction with Balmora Expansion and will function normally:

LadyE's display cases, spider webs ad jewelers sign
Dongles Musical Instruments
Gorg's Flowing Capes
Forgottens Longbow Pack
Elements from Silgrad Tower (concepts for several of the new shops I created (such as the hospital and restaurant) came from this inspired work)

ENJOY

*****************************************************************

Compatibility Notes: (I strongly recommend that you read this)

*****************************************************************
***Balmora Expansion requires Tribunal due to scripting requirements. It cannot be made to run with Morrowind only, however it does not need Bloodmoon.

***Balmora Expansion was designed from a clothing and armor standpoint to work with Morrowind original bodies only and use the original bodies placement scheme only. With that said we also designed the mod to be completely compatible with both Better Bodies v2.0 and Better Heads 1.1, so all the new armor and clothes work with BB2.

***Balmora Expansion affects 2 common leveled items lists:
l_m_potion and random_loot_special_marksman

It is strongly recommended that you use the level list merger in Ghostwheel's TES Plugin Tool v1.3 if you are using any other mods that affect these lists. It can be found at http://www34.brinkster.com/ghostwheel/
If your not sure then run the utility to be safe. These type of lists are used to determine the random contents of items in chests and things. If you do not use the merger tool and other mods add things to the same list then the other items will not show up randomly in the game.

***Balmora Expansion has been tested with and is fully compatible with the following mods:
NOTE---The following mods must be installed before Balmora Expansion in order to guarantee that they will work properly.

Bank Mod by Indestructible (tested with v 2.1 and higher using both the standard esp and the nohouses esp.)
Armorer by Indestructible
Petshop by Jdooby
Private Mobil Base
Asgard 3.0
Ashland Traders
A Good Place to Stay
Illuminated Order
Balmora Extras
Azriel the Merchant
ICE's Hideaway
Neccessities of Morrowind 2
Windows Glow2

Any mod that affects only the interior cells of building originally located in Balmora such as mods that add items, npcs, etc. to shops, homes and guilds.
Any mod that adds items or npcs to the exterior cells of Balmora whereby the item added is located on an existing walkway or cobblestone textured area and LAND is not altered in any way.

***Balmora Expansion has been tested with and is NOT compatible with the following mods:

dh_homes.......................updated version in Extras folder
HousesForSale..................updated version in Extras folder
Soothsayer's Booth.............updated version in Extras folder
Balmora Trade City
Balmora Walled City
Balmora House
Balmora Keep
Balmora Market
Balmora Farmers Market
Private Tower Balmora
Home Sweet Home
KFM Castle

Any mod that alters LAND in or adjacent to the original town of Balmora.

NOTE--- As noted above the Extras folder contains updated version of several mods for use with Balmora Expansion. If you are using any of these mods the originals should be unchecked in your MW data files list and the updated version used.


*****************************************************************

How to use the plugin(s)

*****************************************************************
When you start Morrowind to play, choose "Data Files"
and doubleclick on the box next to Balmora Expansion.esp

NOTE: This plugin was developed with and requires version v1.4.1313 of Tribunal.
It has been tested on both a Morrowind/Tribunal setup
and on a Morrowind/Tribunal/Bloodmoon setup in both case with the latest patches.


*****************************************************************

Save Games

*****************************************************************
This plugin is completely clean and should not interfere with any other plugins that you are running unless they are listed above.

This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save
your game while this plugin is loaded, you may encounter error messages
when you reload the saved game without the plugin. But you will be
able to continue on with the original game.

As always I recommend that you backup your saved game before running the plugin, This mod is huge and it's impossible to predict how it will react to the millions of possible combinations that can exist on MW gamers computers.


*****************************************************************

For modders only

*****************************************************************

1. Do whatever you want, all I ask is that you mention me in the readme if it's mine or the other modders responsible if its theirs.
2. I encourage those who enjoy this mod especially the Undercity to add additional buildings and continue to grow a home for the darker players of the game to enjoy.

Vertical Limit climbing mod
v. 1.01

A mod for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Tribunal / Bloodmoon / GOTY Required!
Created with MW v. 1.6.1820

by GhanBuriGhan

***************************************************************************************

Description:

***************************************************************************************

This mod adds climbing to the game, in a way similar to Daggerfall. You can now climb almost every obstacle with a more or less vertical surface if you have the skill.
How does it work? To climb, you first need climbing equipment. You can buy climbing equipment from a number of traders and pawnbrokers, e.g. at Arrille's tradehouse in Seyda Neen, in Balmora at Ra'virr's and Dralasa Nithyron's shops, in Ald-ruhn in Daynes Redothril's pawnshop, and in Suran from the pawnbroker Goldy Belaram. You may also find one as random loot. If you are starting a new game, you can get your limbing equipment during the character generation process in the room with Sellus Gravius.Finally,if you can't wait to try it out, give yourself one via console:

player->additem gbg_climbing_belt 1.

I strongly recommend to tie the climbing equipment to a quick key for ease of use (press F1, select "inventory item", then the climbing equipment).

To climb, face the surface you want to climb and run into it, so that you are "running in place". Now equip the climbing gear or press the fastkey you assigned. There will often be a short delay (ca. 3-4 seconds) but eventually you will start climbing the wall. To change the direction you climb (up / down) press the quick-key again (or equip climbing gear again) without stopping to run. So to climb down from a ledge you are standing on you can, with some skill, do the following: Edge backwards until you begin to fall. Immediately hit run forward, and the climbing gear quickkey. Hit quickkey a second time to begin climbing down.

Climbing depends on acrobatics skill. There will be a check against acrobatics every few seconds, and if you fail, you will fall. The speed with which you climb depends on your speed attribute - you need fairly high speed to really be able to climb faster. The height you can climb on average thus depends both on your acrobatics skill and your speed. Khajiit and Bosmer get racial boni for climbing. Khajiit, as natural climbers always climb at top speed,and of course profit from their natural acrobatics bonus. Bosmer, born and raised in trees, loose their grip less easily than other races. As a Khajiit thief or acrobat you will be an excellent climber from the very beginning.

Even the best can't climb endlessly, though: You will loose your grip when your fatigue falls to 0.

Climbing terminates when an obstacle overhead (a ceiling, a larger overhang, a ridge, etc.) blocks your vertical ascent, or the surface is for some other reason getting you stuck. The same applies for climbing down.

You can not climb with a weapon drawn.

Hope you enjoy the mod, have fun!


A warning: Climbing was not foreseen by the makers of Morrowind, so it is theoretically possible that this mod may allow you to get to places you weren't meant to go. However, levitation lets you fly everywhere anyway, and I am not aware of a situation where climbing would break the game.

***************************************************************************************

Installation:

Unzip to your morrowind/data files/ folder
Enable the mod: in the launcher, under data files, check the vertical limit ESM file. As with every mod It is advisable to save under a new name and keep a copy of an older savegame. However, due to the nature of this mod, I do not foresee much trouble when removing it.

If you have used an older version of this mod installed, you should clean your save befoe using this version: Load MW without any version of Vertical Limit, ok any error messages, save to a fresh slot, quit morrowind, enable the new esp., and continue playing from the new save you made.

In case you use other mods that change levelled lists (e.g. many weapon and item mods), use a levelled list merger tool, such as Ghostwheel's TesTool ( http://www34.brinkster.com/ghostwheel/ )

***************************************************************************************

Known issues:

- Climbing can be jerky, and sometimes even results in unpleasant screen "flickering". This is a game engine problem and cannot easily be changed.
- Some surfaces look like they should be climbable, but get the player stuck in the vertical direction.This results in inability to climb them. Try jumping or move slightly left and right to get unstuck, or find a better spot.
- You may sometimes "warp" through vertical obstacles, although very rarely.
- Climbing depends on acrobatics, but trains athletics (due to the running).
- Using EnableRaceMenu interrupts the function of the script on the climbing gear, and allows it to be equipped. Remove and reequip it to get it going again.


***************************************************************************************

Version history:
1.02:
-Added climbing down feature
-Improved nudge script

1.01 (closed beta):
-Reworked and optimized scripts

Overview

Aerelorn's Writing Enhanced (AWE) adds 80 blank books and 70 blank scrolls sold from 10 different locations all around Vvardenfell. When one of the books or scrolls is equipped, the player can give it a name and then enter up to 3000 characters of text. A quill and inkwell are required for writing and can be purchased from 5 of the 10 locations. If the ALT-key is held while equipping a previously written book or scroll, the player can either erase and rewrite the contents, resume writing from where they left off(so writing in installments is possible), or export the book to a .txt file. Also, for users of the Book Rotate mod, an optional setting is available to make the blank books added by Writing Enhanced to use the rotation script.

Writing Enhanced requires Morrowind Enhanced(MWE) v1.2. See http://www.freewebs.com/aerelorn/ to download MWE or other MWE-enhanced mods.

Note: Requires Tribunal or Bloodmoon

Back to Top


Instructions

Writing a book or scroll:

Buy one of the blank books or scrolls in one of 10 locations around Vvardenfell. A quill and inkwell is also required.
After you've bought a blank book or scroll, go into your inventory and equip it.
A messagebox will pop up and allow you to type in the name you wish to give to the book or scroll. The maximum name length is 31 characters. After you're finished entering it, hit the End key.
A messagebox will then pop up and allow you to type in the text of the book or scroll. The maximum length is 3000 characters. When you reach that limit, you'll hear a clicking sound with each key you hit so you'll know you're at the end.
Hit the End key when you're finished writing.
A messagebox will give you the choice to copy what you wrote into your book or scroll(Yes), scratch it out(No), or go back and write some more(Back).
After you've written a book or scroll:

If you hold the ALT-key while equipping a book or scroll, you will be given the option to either rewrite it, resume writing it, or export it.
Rewriting: This will erase the previous contents, allowing you to select a new name and text. If you select the No option after hitting End, the previous contents will be restored.
Resume Writing: This will resume writing at the end of previous text. You can either continue writing or backspace and edit what was there before. If you select the No option after hitting End, the previous contents will remain unchanged.
Export: This will export the text of the book to a file named AWE - <book name>.txt
Note: Users of the Book Rotate mod should see the Extra Options section for details on how to get the books added by Writing Enhanced to rotate as well.

Back to Top


Extra Options

MWE_BookRotate can be set in the console(type "set MWE_BookRotate to <value>") to the following values:
The default, books are set down normally
Books will use the rotation script from the Book Rotate v5.2 mod.
Back to Top


TC Compatibility

It is very easy to use AWE with TCs(Total Conversions). Simply do the following:

Install the TC Compatible version of MWE_Base.esp. See the Morrowind Enhanced manual for more details.
Install AWE normally.
Copy the MWE_Writing.esp file from the TC Compatible Esp folder of the install zip into your /Data Files/ folder, overwriting the regular esp.
Since the shops may not exist in a TC, none of the books or scrolls are placed in the world. Therefore, they must be added manually. Open up the console and type "placeatpc <name> 1 1 1" where <name> is MWE_Books1, MWE_Books2,...,or MWE_Books10 to place a crate at your character's feet. Each of the 10 crates holds 8 books, 7 scrolls, and a quill and inkwell.
Back to Top


Troubleshooting

Problem: The text I've written doesn't show up in the book.

Solution: Ensure that the esp is named either MWE_Writing.esp or Clean MWE_Writing.esp and that it is not set as read-only.
See also the Troubleshooting section in the Morrowind Enhanced manual.

Known Issues

Do not rename the esp file. Both "MWE_Writing.esp" and "Clean MWE_Writing.esp" will work, anything else will not.
The messagebox used to display text will cause a low framerate if you're typing fast. Therefore, the letters may lag slightly. If you use the FPS Optimizer, it can be set to reduce view distance to almost nothing while in menus. This helps somewhat.
Be ***CAREFUL*** with the < and > characters. Books and scrolls use a subset of HTML, so those characters should only be used if you're trying to add HTML tags. If you use them in any other form, you risk making parts of the book not show up.

Overview

Aerelorn's Combat Enhanced(ACE) is the first of hopefully several plugins to use the Morrowind Enhanced(MWE) utility. It provides:

30 different combat combos performed using simple combinations of the basic attacks(i.e. Slash, Slash, Thrust). There are 5 combos for each of the 6 weapon types(Long Blade, Short Blade, Blunt Weapon, Axe, Spear, and Unarmed). The combos range from stat drains to knockdowns to decapitations.
Trance: The ability to slow down time to give you a better handle on the fight and dodge attacks and arrows
Rage: Slows time even further than Trance while increasing your own speed. Allows you to tear through a swarm of enemies in the blink of an eye. You must build up your Rage Level by performing normal combos in order to use Rage.
Difficulty Sliders: There are currently sliders that let you increase the Health, Magicka, Strength, and Agility or reduce the Block skill of all enemies in the game, so you can make things more difficult should you so choose.
Combat Enhanced requires Morrowind Enhanced(MWE) v1.2. See http://www.freewebs.com/aerelorn/ to download MWE, other MWE-enhanced mods, or the ACE Trailer.

Note: Requires Tribunal or Bloodmoon

Back to Top


Installation

Unzip the mod into your /Morrowind/Data Files/ directory
Download Morrowind Enhanced v1.2 and install it if you don't already have it. The latest version can be found at http://www.freewebs.com/aerelorn/ or the major mod sites.
Run Morrowind Enhanced.exe. It is required for the mod to function correctly.
From here, you can set the keys for Trance and Rage, adjust the Difficulty Sliders, and set options to autolaunch Morrowind and/or the Fps Optimizer on startup
Run Morrowind and select MWE_Combat.esp in the Data Files menu
UPGRADE INFORMATION: If you are upgrading from a previous version of Combat Enhanced, you may see some error messages when you first load your saved game. Just click Yes and then resave when you get into the game.
(Optional) I'd recommend printing out the combos list
Back to Top


Combo Overview

Combos are performed via a sequence of the three basic strikes, which are:
Slash - Press the attack button while strafing left or right
Thrust - Press the attack button while moving forwards or backwards
Chop - Press the attack button while moving diagonally or standing still
It is highly recommend that you turn off "Always use best attack" so you can see the different strike animations
An example sequence is "Slash, Slash, Thrust". You must first hit with a Slash, then with another Slash, then with a Thrust. If you miss, you don't need to start over. Rather, you just need try the hit again. So if you do the following sequence, "Slash(hit), Slash(miss), Slash(miss), Slash(hit), Thrust(miss), Thrust(hit)", the hits translate to "Slash, Slash, Thrust", and the sequence will be complete.
Each combo requires a certain level of skill, as indicated in the Combo List
Each combo drains a certain amount of your fatigue. If you don't have the necessary fatigue available, the move will still work. However, your weapon skills will be lowered for a few seconds, so it's a good idea to keep your fatigue at a high level.
Finishing Moves: All Level 90 Skills are finishing moves. They require that the target has less than 25% of their health remaining, as indicated by the enemy health bar.
All combos can be fully Daisy Chained
Certain combos(like Dismember Arm and Behead) only have a visual effect on NPCs, not creatures. However, the moves still work on creatures.
Hitto has made an addon for ACE called ACE_Subtitles that adds messageboxes upon successful completion of combos, in case you want something more than just the sounds. A link to it can be found at http://www.freewebs.com/aerelorn/

Trance

Trance slows down the passage of time so you can react more quickly, better plan your combos, and dodge attacks. After you've set your Trance key in the MWE window, you can toggle Trance on and off by pressing that button in the game. While in use, Trance will drain fatigue, but will keep working even if your fatigue is 0.

The amount that Trance slows down time can be adjusted with the "Trance Slowness" slider in the MWE window. 10 is the default, and the slowest available. Lower values will make time pass more quickly while in Trance.

Back to Top


Rage

Rage slows down the passage of time far more than Trance, while also speeding you up. Additionally, while in Rage every strike you make will be a combo, allowing you to tear through enemies.

You must build up your Rage Level by using normal combos
Each combo gives you 1 Rage point.
It takes a minimum of 25 Rage points to initiate Rage.
You can see your current Rage Level by pressing alt-<rage key>.
Unfortunately, Unarmed attacks cannot be sped up the same way weapon-based attacks can. Therefore they will move very slowly while in Rage.
Once you've started Rage :

Each second will take off one Rage point.
You can keep track of how much you have left by watching your magicka bar. It will go from full to zero as your Rage runs out.
You can exit Rage at any time by hitting the Rage key again, but if you exit before the first 25 seconds are up, you won't get those points back
Rage does the following combos for all weapon types each time you hit:

Non-lethal hit

Slash - Disarm Weapon(or Cleave if they have no weapon)
Thrust - Cleave
Chop - Disarm Shield(or Cleave if they have no shield)
Lethal hit

Slash - Behead
Thrust - Shockwave
Chop - Dismember Arm
The amount that Rage slows down time can be adjusted with the "Rage Slowness" slider in the MWE window. 60 is the default, and the slowest available. Lower values will make time pass more quickly while in Rage.

Back to Top


Difficulty Sliders

There are currently 5 enemy difficulty sliders that are adjustable in the MWE window. Each one will multiply a certain attribute of the enemy by the value shown. For instance, if you set the Health difficulty slider to 2.5, all enemies you fight will have 2.5 times their normal health.

Back to Top


Extra Options

MWE_BladeBreak can be set in the console(type "set MWE_BladeBreak to <value>") to the following values:
The default, Blade Break works normally
Blade Break is turned off completely
Blade Break only works if you're in Trance. So if you're accidentally using it sometimes, but still want to use it at others, this is the option for you
MWE_AutoEquip can be set in the console(type "set MWE_AutoEquip to <value>") to the following values:
The default, nothing happens
If you use Long Blade Disarm Weapon or Spear Impale and catch the weapon falling in midair, you will auto-equip it.
Same as 1, except it only works for Long Blade Disarm Weapon and not for Spear Impale
Same as 1, except it only works for Spear Impale and not for Long Blade Disarm Weapon
Back to Top


Addons

The following two addons are available for ACE:

ACE Subtitles- created by Hitto. Adds messageboxes to successful combos.
ACE Books - created by Hitto(with books by Hitto, Harlequin, Zorro17, and Goumindong). Adds 23 books that that fit into Morrowind lore which detail the usage of the 30 combos in ACE. The books are scattered in various locations around Vvardenfell.
Back to Top


TC Compatibility

It is very easy to use ACE with TCs(Total Conversions). Simply do the following:

Install the TC Compatible version of MWE_Base.esp. See the Morrowind Enhanced manual for more details.
Install ACE normally.
Copy the MWE_Combat.esp file from the TC Compatible Esp folder of the install zip into your /Data Files/ folder, overwriting the regular esp.

Troubleshooting

Problem: I used a move and it knocked an enemy through a wall.

Solution: Some moves do this. Most of the time the enemy will run back through the wall. Otherwise, you can type "ra" in the console to reset the enemies to their starting positions.
Problem: I was using a Long Blade, and my sword suddenly broke.

Solution: It sounds like you used Blade Break accidentally. There is an Extra Option available to limit this.
See also the Troubleshooting section in the Morrowind Enhanced manual.

If none of these answers help you, locate the log.txt file that's been created in the same directory as Morrowind.exe. Zip up that file and send it to me along with a description of the problem.

Known Issues

If you use Long Blade Dismember Arm against an NPC who is not one of the default races(i.e. a new race added by a mod), they will be killed but their arm will not come off. If there is a popular mod that uses a lot of new races, support will be added for them if someone requests it.
A crash/freeze bug has been reported by several people, though I was unable to duplicate it. It occurs whenever the player dies, and is caused by one or both of the following Blood & Gore add-on plugins:
Blood & Gore Adventurer's TC
Blood & Gore GIANTS

Daisy Chaining

Each time you hit, the type of hit is stored in a list of your last 8 hits. Based on your weapon type, this list is then checked against the available combos. So for example, let's say you're using Unarmed and your last 8 hits were:

Chop, Slash, Slash, Thrust, Chop, Chop, Slash, Slash

If you make a Chop next, you'll perform Gouge Eyes because your last 3 hits will be Slash, Slash, Chop.
If instead, you make a Thrust next, you'll perform Snap Neck because your last 5 hits will be Chop, Chop, Slash, Slash, Thrust.
If you switch to a Long Blade and make a Thrust, you'll perform Shockwave because your last 3 hits will be Slash, Slash, Thrust.
It's in this way that moves are fully daisy-chainable, even between weapons. For example, the following 9 hits can produce 5 combos if you switch weapons at the correct time:

Chop, Thrust, Slash, Slash, Thrust, Chop, Chop, Slash, Slash
|____________________|
.........Spear Sweep
......................|_______________|
....................Long Blade Shockwave
......................|___________________|
..........................Unarmed Uppercut
.........................................|_____________________|
.........................................Long Blade Disarm Weapon
.........................................|_________________________|
..........................................................Axe Behead

Hopefully that little chart will make it a bit more clear.
