[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 2.4! news

IMPORTANT:
For those who've played Morrowind Rebirth prior to 2.4 you need to follow these instructions:

Remove the following files from your folder.

- "XAscendedSleeper.kf"
- "XNetch_Bull.NIF"
- "XNetch_Betty.NIF"

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

Vanilla Fixes
* Gnisis, Barracks. Some beds were set to faction Legion, recruit. While others are set to spearman/trooper seemingly random. This made it hard for the player to determine if it were safe or not to use them.
* "Arrille" mention in the topic "popular potions/scrolls", a lot of stuff that he doesn't actually sell, now he does.
* "Red Colovian Fur Helm" will now have a unique icon and texture (red instead of yellow).
* "Iron Tanto" used the "Steel Tanto" mesh, adjusted so it uses "Iron Tanto" mesh.
* "Winged Twilight" now drops "Daedra Heart".
* Fixed a bunch of floaters.

Rebirth Fixes/Changes
* Put a lock to "Cienne Sintieve's" bedroom door, Ald'ruhn. Also rebalanced her stock so she sells standard potions (instead of cheap) + added a few potions that I belive was missing.
* Made some changes to "Jarl Ragnarsson's House", Caldera. It just didn't seem plausiable that he would know the player and give his house away for free.
* Fixes an issue with "Balyn Omaryl" turning up dead inside his home before the quest that requires you to kill him (needs testing).
* Some small changes near Dren Plantation, removal of unnecessay statics and a few slaves (will hopefully improve the fps).
* "The Silver Barrel", near Khuul had a locked entrance door. This made it impossible to enter without using the console.
* "Shelter", at the Ghostgate had a locked entrance door. This made it impossible to enter without using the console.
* Fixed a platform in "Ald'ruhn, Guild of Mages that were clipping with the ceiling in the room below.
* "Journeyman's Armorer's Hammer" and "Apprentice's Armorer's Hammer" had mixed up weight stats.
* "Miaren Drans's" shack in Gnaar Mok were impossible to enter due to a missing travel marker.
* Shalk's will no longer be agressive. This does not apply to the Diseased and Blighted Shalk.
* Writs did only get you out of 1080 worth of bounty instead of the required 2250.
* Fixed an issue with the "Morag Tong Gauntless" clipping with the player body.
* Removed any changes related to soul-gems, as this broke the capture mechanic.
* Increased the chance of rain in the "Grazelands" from 10 % to 20 %
* "Rufinus Alleius" is now an "Enforcer" instead of an "Acrobat".
* "Armored Dwarven Spectre" changed into "Dwarven Guardian".
* Fixed a floating window by the "Six Fishes, Ebonheart".
* "Dire" weapons are now Silver instead of Dwemer.
* Fixed incorrect weapon stats.
* Corrected a few typos.

Visual

* Removed "Vurts" variations of the "Emperor Parasols" (The huge mushroom trees) and replaced them with the vanilla Parasols. This will also remove many of the issues using this mod along with "Tamriel Rebuilt: Sacred East".
* Adjusted the textures/meshes of several trees, bushes and flora in the "West Gash" and "Ascadian Isles" to better fit the color scheme of vanilla Morrowind.
* Indoril and Fur Pauldrons will no longer appear to be "bulky" Thanks to "hollaajith" for his mod.
