#The unofficial morrowind patch upgrade

Any of my changes are marked with a tilde (~) symbol. The official guide hasn't been updated in around 8 months as of writing this, so I figured that while I work on completing my own guide, I would make some adjustments and additions to this one. This is my personal set of tweaks for Guideanon's 2016 guide. RAW Paste Data =Morrowind 2017: Cynderal Edition= Make SURE to backup your soundx folder and music folder before installing, just in case you need to uninstall it. If you want to try it out, you can get it here (). I really liked the container opening noises, and the different footstep noises based on equipped armor, and the environment sounds were wonderful. esm, when the sound worked, it was a really great experience.

esm made it so the game gave a bunch of errors when attempting to start a new game, and I could find no documentation anywhere listing what each individual. Trying to dispose of certain corpses (Scamps and Fire Atronachs, consistently) caused the game to immediately crash to desktop with no error message or warnings in logs.

Attempting to use the lower quality sound archive linked in the readme actually decreased my FPS for some reason, more than MAO already did. I encountered the 'silent sound' bug, where the game would go completely silent and had to be restarted to fix it.

*A: Despite its upgrade to 1.0 status, I had a lot of issues with it in playtesting. A note for anyone using or thinking about using OpenMW: do NOT use bump mapped mods made for the original Morrowind.

If you do download a bump map version and decide you don't like it, you can get rid of the bumps by deleting the meshes that were included in the mod, and you can also delete the normal maps (usually they have _nm or _n at the end of their filename) if you want to save space. That means, if you ever have a choice between getting a bump map or no bump map version, the choice is 100% yours. This is fine for metals and wet looking plants (it looks great on mushrooms, in my opinion), but can sometimes look a little weird on architecture. It's often very shiny looking, sometimes plastic-y, and it can make things look very bright depending on the reflection texture used. I don't know all the technical details of it, but bump mapping in Morrowind isn't quite like what you'd expect it to be. >Bump mapped mods: A lot of links in this guide will have bump map versions available, especially once we hit the architecture section.
