There is a mod on the nexus that makes all attacks connect but it makes the game really easy and really boring because people still have a hard time hitting you and don't attack at the same speed as you (they are much slower) so you wreck everyone and everything in no time.[/QUOTE]

link is working fine for me, might wanna try google DNS in case your ISP's DNS is goofy

I managed to access it. The mod is also on the nexus I think, thanks for pointing it out.

How hard do you think making a morrowind multiplayer client would be? I wouldn't think it would be that resource intensive atleast, but I fear server lag would be a problem for making such a thing.

It would be fine as long as the player count wasn't too high. I'd expect things like this to be much more easily possible once open morrowind is more finished, access to source code means anything should be possible as long as the programmer's good enough

Wait for OpenMW to be done before trying, I bet it would work better with it.

Anyways, Anyone know a fix for the the sky turning black when you go into the map?

Need some help over here with custom textures.

Tried installing alternative snow but it doesn't seem to do anything. Tried installing it via NMM, nothing. Manual, nothing. For some odd reason, custom textures don't load for me. Had the same issue with the 2K texture mod. Any help ?

That letterbox is ingame as well.. feels cinematic.

It's like I'm playing Witcher or some shit and watching Game of Thrones at the same time.

That Skywind mod looks pretty awesome! I kinda wish Bethsada would officially remake them like that.

Even after installing countless texture packs, it seems it's impossible to get consistent texture quality in a Gamebryo game. :v:

While this screenshot is on hand, can anyone tell me from what mod the icons in the top right are? I haven't got a clue what they mean or why they're there.

They're from SkyUI. They show buffs/debuffs, like poison and the like.

I love modding TES games, even though I totally suck at it. There's just something gratifying about walking around a landscape you raised from the ocean floor yourself. Here are a couple shots from something I worked on over the Fall. I call it "Mysterious Island". It's unfinished, and will remain that way probably forever (because I really suck at modding), but I still pick at it now and then.

[t] i belive.

anyway it doesn't look bad at all, certainly miles above anything i could create and far better than some things on the nexus.
in that first shot especially. i dunno if you intended it but that gear, it screams 'i'm important. i hold secrets.'

[kopd]

[QUOTE]it screams 'i'm important. i hold secrets.'[/QUOTE]

Indeed it does. Or at least, it would if I could write working scripts. It's inspired by something I played a long, long time ago.

Has anyone figured out how you're supposed to make use of the paralyzing strike attack, somehow I've only now gotten to 100 in one handed

It seems like the perk was almost intentionally made to be really hard to use, there's a stark lack of enemies who will willingly walk into a backwards power attack

The backwards power attack is for enemies charging in.

For example someone doing a running forward power attack, you can smash down with the backwards power attack. Or if someone is rushing forward throwing a fame/frost spell in one hand, retreat backwards and suddenly turn around doing a backwards power attack, will smack them right in the face.

Is there some sort of mod that buffs dragons against everything in the game besides my character. It's pretty dumb that a couple of cave bears can completely tank and kill a dragon.

Or they should at least run away, damn bears getting set on fire from the sky and they just don't give a shit.

Woah. Can you post your settings?

[fear me]

I take it you aren't supposed to sneak past the guards in the [sp]Thalmor Embassy[/sp] courtyard. They're either way buffed up detection wise or they have the most precise eagle eyes ever.

I want a new game, not a rehash. Leave that to the modders.

Guess i'd be happy enough.

if it's morrowind though, they would HAVE to keep it (mostly) voiceless.
you just can't have all that text in a game with full voice acting, OR have the ability to click on sections of words without it feeling weird.
kinda opens the game up a bit more you know?

with oblivion though i'd honestly feel less excited.
for me, it's a fantasy game that was WAAAY [I]too[/I] fantasy. i like it at least a little ground in reality.
bloody unicorns and goblins and armour that felt too impossible.

Nope. I once managed to kill the patrolling guards, but the last one is leaning against the door you're supposed to go through, and he'll see you even if you're invisible. You might be able to get past him undetected with silent casting, invisibility, and a fury spell, though.
