[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 2.31! news

Yet another small update to enhance your experience while playing Morrowind Rebirth! This patch will fix some small issues with the lastest update, but mainly focuses on fixing a lot of vanilla errors. Most of these are also fixed by the MPP (Morrowind Patch Project), but unfortuntely these fixes by the MPP conflict with many of the changes I've already done in this mod.

An example: I've balanced the cost of the Steel Shardslayer, but the Patch Project fixes an incorrect mesh of the same sword. These edits conflict and since MPP is an esm file, the changes done in MPP will be used in-game and the balance pass I made will be useless. Therefore I've included an edited version of the MPP that doesn't conflict with Morrowind Rebirth's changes! All conflicting changes have been implemented or are being implemented into Rebirth, while the non-conflicting changes of MPP will be left alone. Now you will have both the balance pass and the icon fix for the Steel shardslayer. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT:
You need to remove the following files from the install package:

- "XAscendedSleeper.kf" (only previous patches)
- "XNetch_Bull.NIF"
- "XNetch_Betty.NIF"

These can be found in "Morrowind/Data Files/Meshes/r

So here's the changelog for 2.31:

NOTE: If you already have installed 2.3 or any previous version and want to remove the netch textures: Go to Morrowind/Data Files/Textures, use the searchfield and type "Netch". Remove the textures. Only use this approach if you're used to install/remove mods.

Others

* Somehow a few textures from a Skyrim weapon-retexture came packaged with 2.3. I guess I extracted them in the wrong folder lol.
* Added a compatible version of the "Morrowind Patch Project 1.6.5 Beta".
