I recommend everyone to start a new game with this version, there's just too much that can go wrong if you use an old save
Rebirth Fixes
* Netch Bull/Betty will now be displayed as "Ranched Bull/Betty" or "Wild Bull/Betty" depending where they are in the gameworld. This should make it a lot easier for the player to avoid the "wild" ones carrying disease.
* Some "topics" have been altered to fit with the changes done in Morrowind Rebirth. Topic "Mages Guild" will for example mention the new Mages Guild in Pelagiad.
* Adjusted the amount of gold you get from the "Mournhold Museum" when selling your artifacts. It's now based on the new values in Morrowind Rebirth.
* The activator "in_velothi_platform_shishi" had a duplicate in Seyda Neen, making it impossible to finish the Telvanni quest: "Shishi".
* Removed a duplicate of "Balyn Omarel's House" in Balmora. This to ensure that it won't break the quest: "Mephala's Quest".
* Increased the walking speed for the "Rockcrab", making it able to attack the player more effectivly if needed.
* "Hlaalu Alchemist", "Hlaalu Plaza" didn't close his shop during the night, like all the other shops do.
* The door to "Surane Leorianes House" in Caldera, were locked, but it shouldn't be.
* "Wolf Shield" had "call wolf" as constant effect, instead of "Cast when used".
* Clicking "Soot-Scale's" banner in "Ald-ruhn" will no longer give you a bounty.
- Changed name from "Wolf Shield" to "Ward of Solstheim".
* Included two missing meshes for "Cyrodiil" and "Empire map"
* Adamantium Dagger were misspelled as "Poisonous Adamantium Dagger".
* Increased the spacing between "potion effect" and "potion quality".
* Stats for "Anareren's Devil Tanto" now matches the "Devil Tanto".
* Included a missing mesh for the "Indoril Greaves".
* Removed duplicate doors that were causing issues.
Vanilla Fixes
* Deleted extra space between "Frost" and "Atronach" from the following entries: "atronach_frost_bs", "atronach_frost_bs00", and "atronach_frost_dead".
* Included a fix from "Gez", correcting a bad animation loop (causing a horrible noise) for the "Hunger".
* Included fixed kf-meshes by "EJ-12", to restore rat attack sound and slaughterfish sounds.
* Some NPC's in "Hlormaren, Underground" were set as friendly, but they should be hostile.
* Corrected several flora topics that gave the player the wrong information.
* "Andilu Drothan", "Vivec Foreign Quarter", will no longer sell "Skooma".
* "Apprentice's Mortar & Pestle" had the wrong icon and mesh.
* "Heifnir", "Dagon Fel", will no longer sell "Moon-Sugar".
* The "Shalk" had the wrong "Scream" sound assigned to it.
* "Rerlas" scrib and rat didn't drop any ingredients.
* Activator "Sound_pipebreak" used the wrong script.
* Corrected some issues with creature level-lists.
* Another thousand (more or less) floaters fixed.
* "Gravetar" had the wrong mesh and icon.
- And another 100 misc fixes that I don't care to add here..you wanna play not read, right?
Additions/Landscape changes
* Major landscape changes all around the island. Fixing seams, vertex shading, floaters, bleeders etc.
* Improved several areas in cities (Balmora, Vos, Suran, Ebonheart, Seyda Neen, Gnisis).
* Sadrith Mora Lighthouse + docks. Thanks to "Colt17" for the Lighthouse model.
* Vos Lighthouse. Thanks to "Colt17" for the Lighthouse model.
* Renius Outpost, by "Fulgore".
- "Somewhere in the Ascadian Isles, not too far from Pelagiad, on a hill overlooking Lake Amaya, there's an old small keep known as 'Outpost Renius'. Some months ago all contact was broken with the troops garrisoned there, a patrol was dispatched to check the situation. Everyone, from the pettiest prisoner to the highest ranking official, was found dead. After hearing sinister voices and steps, the place was sealed and abandoned. Do you have what it takes to venture inside and discover what happened to the people in there? Bring some torches with you if you want to explore the place and discover the lost Phnem Ancestral Tomb, one of the oldest and biggest tombs in Vvardenfell."
* "Balmora, Commercial District"
Six, yes six new shops located in the new redesigned commercial district in Balmora. By the courtesy of "Fulgore".
- Andrades's Tradehouse
- Dunmer Delicacies
- The Scribbled Scroll
- Tolmse Samori: Cheap Clothier
- Tralen: Weaponsmith
- Debent Carili: Alchemist
* Reduced the amount of statics near Dren Plantation, this due to some issues with lag.

Awesome update! You have been busy Trance!
I'm definitely re-installing Morrowind now...
Thanks man! Don't forget to use it along with MGEXE to get the most out of the mod! Also let me know what you think.
Oh I will... gonna try Morrowind in Vista Ultimate with a GeForce 550 Ti.
Should work without any issues. I had a 560 ti before and it ran just fine, even with pretty high settings in MGEXE.
My long-term goal is to get this running in Linux with PlayOnLinux, but as OpenMW gets developed, we'll eventually have a native version of Morrowind and it should run GREAT.
Either way, I'm playing Rebirth
Well done man !
Nice work !
the first picture (not the houses) what part of the map is it?
Caldera
that volcano picture right?
Ah I thought you meant the gallery. It's Red Mountain, the center volcano in Vvardenfell.
thanks for your answer, great mod by the way :)
Damn i really didnt think the Morrowind Community was still alive! im gonna reinstall morrowind to play this when i get home!
It's still lively over at the official forums: Forums.bethsoft.com :)
Amazing work; thanks so much man! Really going to enjoy this.
I might just play this to honor your fantastic work, this is beautiful! :D
Think I'd rather play the Morrowind remake made from the Skyrim engine.
when you say skyrim engine, you do realise that is the Fallout: New Vega engine, which is slightly changed Fallout 3 engine, which is slightly modified Oblivion engine.
Skyrim is not what elder scrolls is all about anyway, but it's engine is pretty damn old too (never mind the graphic)
you forgot that oblivion is made from morrowind
Impressive.
wooho!
it's been awhile now lets take this puppy for a test run
nice job trance, btw are you officialy working with
Fulgore on MR or is he a guest in MR production im just curious :)
Yeah Fulgore and I have put our two heads togheter. I mean, he's already made a ton of stuff in Rebirth, so it makes sense. We will be working on something exciting for 2.6 ^^
great hope your combined work provides us all with more quality content
Wow that's some dedication
Brilliant!
Played 2.5 last night. The additions are brilliant!
After installing MGE and then Rebirth, I found some new visuals I didn't remember previously...
The New entry to Vivec is Amazing and very appropriate.
I love the trees and some of the new costumes...
Amazing job!
I received a few asset errors, but click ok and continued. Decent frame rates at 60 fps high and 10 fps in some areas, not sure why, but probably MGE related.
Glad you liked it! It's quite diffrent aye?
What types of errors did you get? Could you check your warnings log in your MW folder and send the text content in a PM?
I'll have to start a new game again and then write down the errors.
By the way, I also tried Rebirth in Linux with PlayOnlinux (Wine) but it crashes with DirectX errors. Probably something to do with DirectX8. I'll keep messing with it because I really want it to run in Linux too.
Ah, but did you check if you had a warnings log in the mw folder? Then you don't have to write down the errors :)
Nope, I had no idea... I will check it
Thanks for the tip
