[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 2.1! news

NOTE: Download link isn't working properly right now. Until I've recived an answer from moddb what might be causing this issue, you can get 2.1 from Morrowind Nexus. I'm sorry for any trouble that this might cause. I'll let you guys know when the moddb download is working again: Morrowind.nexusmods.com

Vanilla Fixes

* "Ex_co_ship_trapdoorb" in Frostmoth docs have been replaced with "Act_Ex_DE_ship_trapdoor". "Ex_co_ship_trapdoorb" is scripted colony door and a part of Bloodmoon's mainquest.
* "chargen_plank" is duplicated in Frostmoth, so when the script "CharGenClassNPC" runs, "chargen_plank" is randomly removed from either Seyda Neen or Fort Frostmoth docks.
* The "Five Fingers of Pain" spell used to "damage health". I've changed this to "drain health". Also raised the spellcost from 7 points to 20.
* Gondolier's Helm were marked as "medium armor". I don't know about you but since when did a straw-hat protect you from anything?
* goblin_shield_durgok_uni were incorrectly named "Goblin Shield", when it should have been "Durgok's Shield".
* Mornsu Omalor, a Dark Elf in the cave of Nammu carried 12 (!) bows, but only one arrow.
* Dolmesa Sarano, a Dark Elf in "Halit Mine" were incorrectly set as hostile.
* Zallit Assattadaishah, a Dark Elf at the Ghostgate should be an "Ashlander".
* Removed the smoke from Gorak Manor, there's no active fire inside.
* Removed several chimneys' in Pelagiad, some houses had no fireplaces.
* Changed the name of the small "Drum" to "Guarskin Drum" to fit with the other, larger drum.
* Some pieces of the Imperial Chain Armor set had the wrong AR value, fixed from 20 to 12.
* The Imperial Chain Armor Pauldrons had the wrong weight which made them count as "Heavy Armor".
* The Mace of Slurring didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Karpal's Friend didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Sword of Agustas didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Wind of Ahaz didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Removed Daedras' from "Kogoruhn" and replaced them with 6.th house encounters.
* Removed the shield from High Fane Ordinators, since they wield claymores.
* A few containers that should only hold clothes had gold in them.
* Steel Fire/Storm/Frost/Poison-sword used the wrong enchantments.

* The Adamantium Axe were misspelled as "Admantium".
* Large Dwemer Goblet were misspelled as "Dewmer".
* The Slavepods in Sadrith Mora wasn't locked.

Rebirth Fixes

* Removed a few items that didn't fit in very good with this game (wooden shield, wall of the eyeless, piano (wtf?) and some other small misc items.
* NPC's in Pelagiad, Guild of Mages, will now provide you with some services as enchanting and spellmaking.
* Fixed a rather serious bug I made when changing the setting value for unarmored skill.
* The Travel Agent in Seyda Neen will now let you travel to Pelagiad for a small fee.
* Removed a tree that were blocking the entrence in "Dissapla Mine".
* The Alchemist in Pelagiad were bugged and had no items for sale.

* Fixed pathgrids in Vivec/Ebonheart (thanks "Fulgore!")
* Added a guild chest to the Mages' Guild, Pelagiad.
* Imperial Chain Gauntlet used the incorrect mesh.

Balancing

Weapons/Armor
* The enchantments on "Trebonius' Staff" and the mace "Light of Day", were seriously overpowered, making the player able to cast the enchantment a 100 (!) times until you run out of charges. I've made changes so you can "only" cast the enchantment 20 times.
* Most enchanted weapons and armor had stats than were lower than their counterparts. In some cases they were also less valuable. Fixed so they share the same stats and are a bit more valueable (based on the enchantment).
- Example: The "Fireblade" worn by "Buoyant Armiger" is a steel shortblade, but its stats were actually much worse than the steel shortblade.
* Changed the name of a Nordic Silver Battle Axe to "Heartfang", as it was supposed to be an artifact, thus the change.
* The regular Bonemold shield were much more valueable than its "house" counterparts, value changed from 600 to 250.
* Raised the enchantment points a bit for glass/ebony/daedric staffs to make them more useful for mages.
* The Bonemold Long Bow were seriously overpowered with 400 enchantment points, changed it to 80.
* The dwarven mace "Clutterbane" had an error which made it impossible to use its enchantment.
* Stalhrim weapons had a weight that didn't made sense if you compared them to their armor counterparts.
- Stalhrim Dagger weight from 5 to 4
- Stalhrim War Axe weight from 34 to 10
- Stalhrim Mace weight from 65 to 12
- Stalhrim Longsword weight from 70 to 15
* Gave Volendrung an enchantment (It had no enchantment) similar to the one in Daggerfall.
* Stalhrim armor set were refered to as "Ice" in-game, changed to "Stalhrim"
* The Longbow were less valuable than the Shortbow, which made no sense.
* Made some changes to medium armor, should make medium more useful.
- Adamantium AR from 40 to 50
- Stalhrim AR from 50 to 55
* A massive value nerf to high-end weapons.

Exploits
* Removed the grand soulgem (filled, golden saint) from Balmora, Guild of Mages and replaced it with an empty counterpart. Also reduced the value of soulgems to make filled gems less valueable.
* You could find not only one, but two "sword of the white woe" in Balmora, I removed one of these. Also moved the remaining one to a more secure location where the guard can see it.
* You can no longer steal the Ebony cuirass in Dren's Villa by sneaking behind the pillar. It's not realistic anyway since Orvas Dren is just a few feet away.
