Hey my friends! It's time for another update, v 3.4! As you can see down below there's a lot of stuff in this update. If you haven't played Morrowind Rebirth before I urge you to watch the trailer:
Vanilla Fixes
* 'com_chest_11_k01' was supposed to contain 5 randomly generated items, but the Bloodmoon expansion modified its contents to be just one random restore potion.
* Raviso Andalas, Molag Mar, will no longer offer trading services (He didn't have anything for sale).
* Nalion, Gateway Inn, will no longer offer trading services (He didn't have anything for sale).
* 'Ring of Wizard's Fire' now causes Fire Damage instead of Drain Health.
Morrowind Rebirth Fixes

Morrowind Rebirth Changes

Awesome work!
One suggestion I have for key names is to remove "key to" as the item type is clear.
Removing "Key to" will turn your inventory into a big mess (sorting). Besides I think it would be wierd having a key named "Arenim Tomb Chest" instead of "Key to Arenim Tomb Chest". But hey, that's just me :P
As always Awesome!
I just did a playthrough of the game with Rebirth for the first time (I've tried before, but the "been there, done that" hurdle of the first few hours kept getting to me), and I gotta say, I love all the little changes to the Telvanni areas, since BUUG and RoHT kept me there for quite a while.
There are still weird issues I've been experiencing that I don't know the cause of:
1. All Imperial Archers are bare-chested. Not sure why. In fact, a few NPCs in the game are just...naked. But ALL Imperial Archer guards always have no chest armor.
2. There's a ton of trees and roots that sit outside of the land mesh. Most prominent on the walk from Balmora to Caldera, but also up by Gnisis and any other area that shares the landscape type. They're usually those green trees that go sideways and then curl upwards at a 90 degree angle, but they're almost always outside of the mesh. I'll try some tree replacers, see what happens.
And I've been begging forever, but please make a file for grass. MR-compatible grass is all I've ever wanted since I first picked this thing up.
Hi,
1. No idea why. I don't have the same problem. Are you using any other mods that might conflict with MR?
2. It's likely that you're using a tree replacer that overwrites the files included in the MR archive. This means that you have to replace the root meshes with "empty" meshes. To do this you have to download the following mod: Nexusmods.com and pick "Vurts Leafy West Gash v10a". When you've downloaded the file open up the archive and copy 'vurt_flora_root_wg_01' to 'vurt_flora_root_wg_08', then paste these into Morrowind/Meshes/f.
Regarding grass. Yeah I know it's annoying, but as I've stated before this would be a lot of work because I alter the terrain all the time, which means I would have to put up twice the work fixing grass all the time as well. I rather spend that time making an awesome grass-plugin when the time is right.
Cheers
Getting a weird issue with OpenMW, bringing up the barter becomes slower with each transaction with some merchants (reproduced with the trader and pawnbroker in Balmora). It gets very noticeable after selling around 20 items and becomes frustratingly slow somewhere in the 30s. Wondering if you have any idea what would trigger this as it only seems to effect Rebirth and, even then, many merchants seem unaffected.
Hey man, I really love your mod. I am just wondering though, have you or will you be implementing stealth enhancements such as changing the way sneaking works in this game based on lighting? And is this mod compatible with BTB's Game Improvements mod?
Is there an installer to this mod? I have the steam version of this game.
Just copy Rebirth files into your steam/morrowind Directory!
