This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.
Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.
127 Map-texture conflict fix
The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

135 Ammo damage tooltip

Morrowind item tooltips failed to show the damage range on ammunition. The fixes it
so that the damage becomes visible.

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

-1 - Graphics changes -
This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.
PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.
71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.
133 Reduce camera clipping
Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

135 Ammo damage tooltip

Morrowind item tooltips failed to show the damage range on ammunition. The fixes it
so that the damage becomes visible.
-1 - Graphics changes -
This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

135 Ammo damage tooltip

Morrowind item tooltips failed to show the damage range on ammunition. The fixes it
so that the damage becomes visible.
This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.
As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200

[Weather Snow] change these:

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.
Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.
This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be
replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.
This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

128 Rain/snow collision
Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.
As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.
Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500
131 Bump/reflect map local lighting
Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.
When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not

135 Ammo damage tooltip

so that the damage becomes visible.
This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
[Weather Thunderstorm] change these:
Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=3000
[Weather Snow] change these:
Snow Diameter=1600
Max Snowflakes=1500

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.
You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not

apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.
You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.
-2 - Game mechanic changes -
Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.
134 NPC minor behaviour fixes
Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.
126 Telekinesis fix
Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather

weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.
77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

131 Bump/reflect map local lighting

Bump and reflection maps, including enchant glow, are now dependent on local
illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.

130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera

Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.

90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance

Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)
A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:
- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

illumination. Bump mapped and enchanted objects won't shine at full brightness in
dark areas. The bump/glow intensity reflects the local light level instead of
always being at full brightness. This is recommended to use with modded items that
include bump mapping.
130 Over-the-shoulder third person camera
Moves the third person camera to a position over the right shoulder. The camera
position is fixed; if you want to adjust the camera position, using MGE 3.8.2 or
later will allow you to do so.

133 Reduce camera clipping

Disables the camera snapping behaviour in third person mode if NPCs or activators
are blocking the view. Reduces camera jumping when moving past NPCs, creatures,
etc.

Recommend for use with riding mods. May cause the camera to ghost through
activatable doors in tight interiors.

-2 - Game mechanic changes -

Changes in this category alter the way that Morrowind game mechanics work. Many of
them change the feel of the game, making some things more unforgiving and retuning
some badly designed mechanics. Some of these settings can have a dramatic effect on
how you play the game.

45 Toggle sneak
Makes the sneak key toggle sneak on and off instead of having to hold it down.

71 Swift casting
Allows the player to immediately cast from any stance by using the 'ready magic'
key, instead of having to switch first. You can cast while holding a weapon; NPCs
are also a little quicker to cast and can hold weapons while doing so. Using
quickslots no longer changes stance when you select a spell or magic item.

You are still able to get to ready magic stance with the 'M' key. If any mods add
scripted spells, you may still have to ready your hands first for the scripted
spell to work, if the mod requires it.

77 Pickpocket overhaul
Pickpocket in vanilla Morrowind is a broken mechanic. Any character, no matter what
level or stats, has the minimum chance (about 5%) to steal any item valued over 100
septims. An early game thief character with 40 sneak and 60 agility has under 60%
probability to steal a 15 septim item from a merchant with minimum countering skill
(5 sneak), and is often caught just closing the pickpocket window. This is the
easiest scenario, which should be a reliable success of over 90%, and only gets
worse when picking an NPC with real sneak skill. Finally, the pickpocket chance is
capped at 75%, but is tested both when taking an item and when closing the window.
Together this gives a 44% chance of being detected, no matter your skills.

This option re-works the whole pickpocket calculation to be based on weight, and
lessens the chances of being detected. It is generally much easier to get started
if you choose a thief, and the best things to steal are the lightest - jewellery
and gold. You will have to pick your targets carefully, as scouts, other thieves
and seasoned adventurers are more likely to notice you. Grabbing anything
noticeably heavy such as a weapon, is very likely to give you away. There is no
longer a cap on pickpocket chance, and anyone with basic thief skills will not be
detected when closing the pickpocket window.
90 Alchemy potion weight rebalance
Fixes some problems with the alchemy process.

Unfortunately the standard potion weight calculation has incomplete coding, which
leads to multiple problems calculating potion weight. If you make several types of
potion in the same session, all potions after the first type become much lighter
than normal. A potion's weight could be reduced to minimum by adding low weight
ingredients that contributed no effects to the potion.

Even without bugs, a complete beginner at alchemy can make 0.1 weight potions with
standard Morrowind, 60% lighter than the most expensive exclusive potions - you
could carry 100 of those for 10 encumbrance.

Therefore, final potion weight has been revised to take alembic quality into
account instead of number of ingredients, while staying in line with the more
common purchasable potions:
potion weight = (0.75 * total ingredient weight + 0.35) / (0.5 + alembic quality)

A good alembic will make your potions much easier to carry, and with the best
alembic and ingredients you can create potions weighing the same as an exclusive
potion.

69 Enchanted item rebalance

Reduces the effect that enchant skill has on item charge use. Enchant was heavily
weighted so that charge efficiency went up to 10x compared to base cost (at maximum
skill), in strong contrast to spell casting which does not cost less magicka with
higher skill.

As creature data has no auto-calculation flag, and vanilla creature data sets
magicka levels which are not proportional to their intelligence, it is most likely
NPC recalculation was not intended to apply to creatures. This fix modifies scaling
of creature magicka and fatigue: Magicka is still proportional to intelligence, but
with a different scale per creature type. The creature's starting intelligence will
produce the creature's starting magicka. Fatigue no longer scales with attribute
changes.

125 Position/PositionCell fix

Fixes an issue with PositionCell that prevented NPC scripting from running, and
another issue which deactivated actor and projectile collision on moved NPCs. This
solves most problems with the mod Living Cities of Vvardenfell.

PositionCell allows NPCs to be moved to any cell. If the NPC had never been visited
before, then moved to the current cell, the script specified in the NPC data would
not be initialized correctly. This could cause quests to stop working, and dialogue
interactions with that NPC to crash the game, until the next reload. This patch
causes Position/PositionCell to attach the script to the NPC reference correctly,
if it is not already done.

When a recently-visited NPC was moved to the current cell, Morrowind would fail to
activate its collision physics, which caused projectiles and magic to pass through
the actor. This patch registers the actor collision correctly.

126 Telekinesis fix

Fixes telekinesis to allow long distance interaction with lights, ammunition,
books, and activators. Before, they did not have the extended interaction range
expected from the telekinesis effect.

127 Map-texture conflict fix

The world map would become non-functional if you replaced the texture
"_land_default.dds" with a texture of a different size, displaying a blank or
cropped map instead. This was due to the use of that texture to set the scale of
the world map panel.

This workaround changes the map interface so that "_land_default.dds" can be

replaced with a high resolution texture. The scale is instead based on
"menu_icon_none.dds", which has no need for a higher resolution version.

134 NPC minor behaviour fixes

Minor improvments to NPC AI:

- NPCs fleeing from combat use the correct flee distance, instead of fleeing a very
short distance and stopping all actions. Only relevant with modded AI settings.

- Followers that are knocked down will no longer be forced to follow you in a
glitchy knockdown state. They will stay down until their fatigue becomes positive.

- NPCs will no longer try to equip lights marked non-carry at night. This does not
apply to lights directly given via AddItem.

This category contains small extensions or modifications to the graphical part of
Morrowind's engine. Some options allow for mods to make better use of the game
engine than was otherwise available before.

128 Rain/snow collision

Makes rain and snow stop falling through static objects, allowing you to take
shelter under buildings and trees. Increases CPU load during these weather
conditions; there will be a small performance hit, less if you have a fast
processor. Please note this patch doesn't affect ash storms or blizzards, as the
weather particles become too big to collide effectively.

To work as intended you should increase the range weather is rendered, change your
weather settings in morrowind.ini:

[Weather Rain] change these:

Rain Diameter=1200
Max Raindrops=1500
