Morrowind Utility : BSA Browser

From the included HTML file :

This utility allows you to browse, pack, unpack, and register Bethesda Softworks Archive (bsa) files with a user friendly interface. This program was inspired by Ghostwheel's BSAPack (which the program uses to perform 3 of the 4 functions mentioned), and Splender of the Ashlands' BSA Reader, which are both command line utilities. BSA Browser is ideal for those 'who get lost and panicky at the words "commandline".

Morrowind Utility : Wrye Mash

Mash is a utility that is very good for cleaning saved game files that have doubling issues. It''s a must-have download! We have version 0.84 for you.

Taken from the included html file which you need to read.

Getting Started Her's a brief getting started guide. You may have to read sections further down before this section makes full sense.

• Terminology: Package

• A "package" is a collection of esps, esms and/or resource files. Everything listed under the Installers tab is a package. Packages can be either archive files in (zip, 7z or rar format) or directories (aka Projects).

• Initialization

• When you first visit the Installers tab after starting Mash, Bain will need to go through an initialization process. If you've done this before, and no new packages are installed, and the machine is "warm", then it will take on the order of ten seconds.

• However, if you have just added a bunch of packages, then Bain will take longer to intitialize, since it will need to scan all new/modified packages.

• In particular, the first time you start Bain, it will take a long time (on the order of three to ten minutes) to initialize. Enjoy your coffee break. :D

• Reducing Init Times

• You can disable Bain entirely by unchecking "Enabled" in the column context menu on the Installers tab. (Note that this does not erase previously stored info. I.e. it's safe to disable Bain and then later re-enable it if you prefer.)

• You can choose to "Avoid on Startup" (again from column context menu). This will cause Mash to try to avoid the Installers tab when it starts up. And since Bain won't initialize until you visit the Installers tab, you'll save a bit of time if you weren't planning on visiting it anyway.

• Install Directory

• As noted below, Bain looks for packages in the Morrowind\Installers directory. Easiest way to get started with Bain is to just grab all your old mod archives and move them to the Installers directory. Then return to the Installers directory to see Bain's evaluation.

• If you're a modder with existing project directories, you can move those to the Installers directory too.

• Reviewing Package Status

• Some packages may be green, but most (even ones that you have previously installed) will likely be red. (Even if you have installed a package, Bain's Doc File Sweeping means that some files will be in unexpected places.

• For each package, you can select it, and then review its details in the Debug text box. In particular, look for Missing and Overridden files.

• You can intall package as desired (though you may want to change their order first.)

• For complex packages, you will likely want to configure their sub-packages before activating them.

• For packages with unrecognized structure (grey checkbox and name), you'll need to restructure the package's directories and files to something more like what Bain expects before you can install them.

Morrowind Utility : Frame Optimizer v2

Morrowind Frame Optimizer is a utility that increases the running speed of Morrowind. As a useful extra, it also allows you to see landmasses that are off the normal Morrowind map. We have version v2.0 for you.

Taken from the included Help file.

This is a new release of the Morrowind FPS Optimizer, originally written by Alexander Stasenko.

This release adds the following features to the game:

- It fixes the world map. You can now see land added by any mods anywhere on the map, since it now moves with the player. Bloodmoon (or Tribunal) not required; all known official EXEs are supported.
- Removing a plugin automagically removes the corresponding landscape from the map.
- Older versions of the game will no longer crash when adding land at the southern border of the map.
- True multimark support (8 slots available) (*)
- Companions are now able to follow you through any kind of recall or intervention spell
- Build your own intervention spells (modders resource) (**)
- Introduce your own additional Mark / Recall slots (modders resource) (**)

(*) Requires use of the supplied ESP file. (**) Modders resource. Demo included in supplied ESP file.

This tool supports all official Morrowind versions; unlike using the Script Extender, you are not forced to run the latest version of Bloodmoon. (Although you should seriously consider to do so!)

Morrowind Utility : Morrowind Scripting for Dummies

Quote from the manual regarding scripting :

What is a script?

Scripts are basically pieces of code written in a special scripting language (I will call it TES script from here on). These little "programs" will run during the game and can perform certain things in the game, lots of things actually: Trigger events, control time and place, make things and creatures vanish, appear or move, give messages to the player, change stats, even change the weather - the possibilities are great. TES Script is a unique scripting language, it is not used outside the TES Construction Set. As a scripting language it has certain limitations compared to a "real" programming language, like, e.g. C++

NOTE: This is considered to be the :Programmer's Bible: for serious modders.

Morrowind Utility : Morrowind Immersive Architect

From the included HTML file :

The idea behind this tool is to utilize the Morrowind game engine as a world building tool. It allows towns/citys to be built in-game instead of using the construction set. Placeholder items are carried in inventory, and are dropped on the ground to place building meshes in the game world. When the town is built, save your game and use the Morrowind Immersive Architect utility to copy your newly built city into a plug-in file.

Morrowind Utility : Dialog Tutorial

From the included Help file :

This is a tutorial for developing dialogue in the TES Construction Set. There are some existing tuts out there already, but none of them is purely on dialogue; they combine dialogue with NPC creation and scripting information. They also only cover a small portion of what's possible with the dialogue interface in the CS. The goal of this tutorial is to be comprehensive: it will cover pretty much everything you can do with dialogue. It takes a step-by-step approach, introducing new concepts one at a time, with several different examples of each before moving on

Make sure you read the included ReadMe file and heed the warnings therein. And here's what the developer has to say about it.

"TESAME cleans mods by physically chopping out information from the ESP-file. I can't take any responsability for what might happen when removing certain data. Always keep a backup."

This has to be one of the most important tools available to the modder, if not THE most important.

Morrowind Utility : Overunity

Taken directly from the readme file.

You only see the mods you want to use, you can sort them by Name, Date, Author or Size. You can remove any number of mods all at once, you can immediately activate all mods used by a savegame and receive a report of missing mods, in case you''ve re-installed Morrowind.(makes a text file for later reference)

You can even use a fuzzy-logic search to find multiple versions of a plugin! this helps if you have a "battle_arena.esp" installed, along with a "BatleArena.esp", this would immediately point out the possibility of a conflict. Now with variable percentage of similarity! (beats eyeballing hundreds of mods for similarities!! also makes a text file output for later reference)

You can also scan any number of mods all at once, receiving a report of all broken file links, including Nif references to textures. (makes a text file for later reference by the modder).

The modders will love this one, so far a good percentage of plugins are missing a few files. I''ve added the ability to explore all files in use by a mod and build an installation fully intact. You can choose not to include resources from other plugins if your mod depends on these other plugins(install only what''s yours in order to decrease archive size) via the Exclusive Scanner. (makes a text file recording broken links in the .esp and associated .nif files)

Finally, you can check your plugins media references against all other plugins in your Data Files directory with the Shared Resource scanner. This allows you to determine whether the resources you''re using are the ones you intend to distribute. Often a modder can get confused about which resources are unique to his/her mod and this results in an oversized final product without knowing of compatibility issues. Also as a result of the Shared Resource scanner, you can now thoroughly destroy any plugins you no longer desire to keep!

DEFAULT MORROWIND RESOURCES ARE OVERLOOKED BY ALL SCANNERS/INSTALLATION BUILDERS! THEY ARE COPYRIGHT TO BETHESDA AND NO-ONE MAY DISTRIBUTE THEM.

When you''re all ready to go, hit the "Play" button and it''ll run Morrowind! (or the FPS optimizer if installed).

Morrowind Utility : Skinner

From the included ReadMe file :

I'd been playing with the TES Construction set for a week or so and had made so many mistakes trying to re-skin using a Hex editor I thought 'There must be an easier way'. There wasn't. Rather than moan about it I thought I'd use my VB skills to make an easier way. What does this program do? It allows you to load a mesh (.nif) from the TESCS CD, tells you the textures used, allows you to rename the mesh and textures then copies them to the relevant directories in your Morrowind installation.

Morrowind Utility : TES Faith Sharp

Taken from the included readme file.

TESFaith was a utility written by Paul Halliday (aka Lightwave,) that can be used to move/copy/delete individual cells, entire regions or the contents of whole plugins. Unfortunately it was a console application, and a lot of the otherwise great modders over at the elder scrolls forums wouldn't know what a dos prompt was if it bit them. So I bring you all TESFaith#: TESFaith with a spangaly new GUI, nice big easy to use buttons and about 10x the memory usage. Enjoy.

WARNING: This is a _BETA_ version. Most of the code is a direct port of the original TESFaith, but I make no guarantee’s that I haven't buggered something up while porting it.

This is a .NET application. You need .NET v1.1 to run it. Download either from windows update, or from this oversized url: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en

Morrowind Utility : Shack Replacer

The version of the mod here is : Shack Replacer

1. DESCRIPTION This mod is a simple texture replacer to change the look of the peasanty shacks that are found in poor, coastal towns in Morrowind - like Seyda Neen.

This will replace the textures on the walls, doors and ceiling of common shacks. It also replaces the heavy rope texture which is used in a number of places (including shacks). It also replaces the texture for common wicker baskets, often found in common shacks. And part of the wooden beams used in common docks. And also one of the metal strip textures, which is used on the shack hook and also some chests, I think.

Not much else to be said really. The texture resolutions are double that of stock Morrowind's and are all in DDS format so it's not particularly high-end nor particularly low-end.

It's also my first release. *Grin*

2. Installation Installation is simple, put the 17 files located in the texture folder of this archive into the texture folder which is inside the data files folder which is located wherever you installed Morrowind.

...Bethesda SoftworksMorrowindData FilesTextures

There is also a folder inside the archived textures folder called 'Originals(NoMipMaps)', if you don't know what mipmaps are than just ignore this folder. It contains the textures with mipmaps not present - these will be sharper and more detailed but may also cause artifacts and distortion, depending on how your computer is set up. Most people will not want to use these. If you want to use these, install the normally and then install the originals, overwriting those which you don't want mipmapped. It's important to install the standard set of textures first.
