All the game data for Morrowind - the world, quests, NPCs, items, etc. - is defined in a file called Morrowind.esm. Plugin files (.esp) can alter this data, for example, changing the stats of a weapon, adding a new quest, or rearranging a town. Plugins belong in the Morrowind/Data Files directory, and must be enabled in the Morrowind Launcher before they become active.
All of the Morrowind assets (models, textures, icons, etc.) are packed up in a file called Morrowind.bsa. However, when Morrowind tries to load one of these assets, it first looks for it in the "Data Files" directory. This makes it very easy to supply our own assets, which is what many mods do. Mods that replace vanilla assets without the need for a plugin are called "pluginless replacers".

Wrye Mash is a mod manager, used primarily for installing and uninstalling mods. It takes a bit of time to learn, but I highly recommend it if you plan to use more than a handful of mods. It knows which files are associated with which mods, so you can easily uninstall a mod without leaving unwanted files behind.
Downloaded mods should be placed directly into Morrowind/Installers. There is no need to extract the files after downloading, as Wrye Mash can support most common archive formats. When you run Wrye Mash (Morrowind/Mopy/mash.exe), all your mods will appear in the "Installers" tab. To install a mod, simply right-click on it and press "Install Last".
Rarely, mods will provide a BSA file instead of individual models / textures, etc. This is an archive file containing lots of resources packed together. In order for the game to load it, it must be added to the [Archives] section of Morrowind.ini.
Optional FilesThe optional archive contains new music, new desktop icons, and more. These are all optional and are not required for the mod to run properly. This download is separate and can be found on the same page from where you downloaded this archive.
I put all the contents, but when i go to Data Files and mark the Morrowind Rebirth, go to play, says an unknown number of errors, and when I go to dismark (?) in the Data Files, the morrowind launcher close. Help?
I put all the files in the data files folder and checked the box(I unchecked all of my other mods to make sure they werent an issue) and right when it begins to load all of the content it comes up with an impossible ammount of errors about missing files.
Just to clarify one thing. So I don't have to use the morrowind launcher and allow mods on the Data Files? Just using Load Order will already set everything I have on the mod folder to launch with the game?
i pasted the data file in the morrowind steam folder but when i run the launcher an click on data files it doesn't show the morrowind rebirth, I've even ran the launcher as admin an still doesn't show it
Hello, Im currently running MSGO and Morrowind Rebirth (both most current versions) along with pursuit enhanced, and I had noticed that the two mods better clothes and better armor seem to just simply stop loading, giving the NPC's the vanilla segmented appearance. I was troubleshooting and I discovered that this stopped when I disabled Morrowind Rebirth 3.1.esp only. This file is the very last one in my load order. I want to use these two (MSGO & MwRebirth) together and this is the only thing preventing that (it does not impare the game in any way and it does not cause any error messages). Do you know why its doing this, and how I can fix it?
So much like a user previously described as I down loaded version 3.3 from the nexus and installed then checked the master and plugin files for 3.3 my morrowind failed to launch any new or old game. So I go back to my start up menu to remove the master and plugin files but it crashes immediately when I press on the data files option on the start menu. Not sure what's going on here because I've used previous versions before with no problem. I found it odd that there were 2 master and 2 plugin files for 3.3 but for master me plugin there was 1 for each that had no description for it or any information. Could those empty files be the problem?
hi, i downloaded morrowind overhaul and then this, and when i started a new game, the intro went well but when jiub started to talk to me, the whole screen went black and i could hear the music but i couldn't do anything. then the game went down and there was an error message that said
When just using tribunal and bloodmoon without any mods loaded, mine just reboots laptop(blue screen) every time I try to equip the dagger on char at the start of the game. Would love to try this mod out but not working at all. Any ideas on how to get what made morrowind reboot laptop. Filename would help, crash report, etc ?
I'll probably end up posting some errors when I can get the vanilla morrowind working regarding the mod.Just downloaded 3.3 and 3.31 update ready.Will be updated to newest versions available. none steam. Original game and the 2 expansion cds.
I made a mistake while installing, and it won't let me delete "date files" no matter what I try. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall the game but steam says it cannot because it doesn't have admin authority. I've been messing with it for two hours and it still will not work.
You can choose to view your mods in alphabetical order (file), load order (#), timestamp (modified), size and author.Modified and # are basically the same: when MLOX re-orders your mod, it basically edits their timestamp.
means the mod is missing a master file (esm). You won't be able to load Morrowind.Look at the bottom right corner of Wrye Mash to see which master files thos mod depends on.To fix this, you can:
This comes with tes3cmd. Orginally tes3cmd only worked via command line, I used to create little .bat files to avoid commad line but with Wrye Mash, it's even easier!The multipatch will merged your levelled lists (levelled itesm and levelled creatures) as well as fix common issues (defogged cells and summon creatures chiefly). To create it:
We want blue or green saved games.Orange means the order of the master files is different:Update the master list to fix: click on list, click saveRed means some mod the saved games depend on are missing:Enable/install the missing mod or update master list
The Repair All option will basically compare the data in your saved game file and the data from the master mods. rematch what was mismatch and delete unused references.While this certainly helps maintain a mod stable game, it is not a miracle.Not changing mod during a playthrough is still the best option.
The only way to get these files to load in the proper order is to make sure the actual file dates put them in that order. Master files (.esm) always load before .esp files, but they still need to be ordered correctly. Morrowind stores its original assets (graphics, sounds, etc.) in .bsa files, which also need to load first so they can be overwritten by assets included with mods.
You need to copy not only the mod files, but all the data files in to the relevant folders. I.e., in your unzipped mod folder, you may have mod.esp, readme.txt, datafiles within data files there may be the folders textures, meshes and each could contain folders like a, n, w, x and each of those in turn will contain the data files relevant to the mod. You need to copy the files only into the same directories within the morrowind data files (just the files, do not copy folders into folders).
After that you need to open the morrowind.ini file in a text editor, this file just contains a load of preferences for the game. Scroll to the bottom and then a few lines up there should be some lines saying: [Game Files] GameFile0=Morrowind.esm GameFile1=Tribunal.esm GameFile2=Bloodmoon.esm Add to the bottom of this the name of your mod, e.g. [Game Files] GameFile0=Morrowind.esm GameFile1=Tribunal.esm GameFile2=Bloodmoon.esm GameFile3=Morrowind Patch 1.6.5 Beta (BTB Edit).esm Ignore the.bsa files as far as I know. Perhaps some mods include one of these?
Save, then it should run. Note however, that somewhere on you computer, possibly under application support, a copy of this file is made which must be deleted for the edited version to take effect. You will have to do you own research on this. I have got the unofficial patch loading on my macbook, and am about to try out a payload of other mods. CrossOver Forums: the place to discuss running Windows applications on Mac and Linux.
The game's assets (meshes, textures, etc) come packed in .bsa files. You will need a special extraction tool to inspect these files. BSATool included in the OpenMW code repository can be used to do this.
On Linux, WINE runs the TES Construction Set without issue save for one problem: you can only save to existing files, not create new files. To workaround this, use MWEdit to create a completely blank .esp you can then modify in TES-CS.
WARNING: It is of utmost importance that you close Morrowind, OpenMW and any launcher before taking these steps. Closing the launcher after following these steps may overwrite your configuration files with whatever was loaded in the launcher.
If using steam, the original install should be renamed or moved before downloading a fresh copy. After the fresh copy is downloaded and moved to a safe place (for example: C:\Games\MorrowindMods\CleanCopy\Morrowind), be sure to rename the original Morrowind folder back to its original name so as to be recognized properly by steam after. This clean copy of Morrowind will be used to run OpenMW as required by Starwind.
The OpenMW method of installing the mod is fairly clean, and makes it simple to replace and manage individual mods in a sort of virtual file system (VFS). Other mod managers may offer similar functionality such as MLOX but will not be covered in this guide.
There should be an openmw.cfg file in your OpenMW config directory. Look for the data= field that contains your morrowind path, any new data directories will be added below this entry, like in the example below. Generally, any additional mods should be added below this new entry as well, since most Starwind mods will have some kind of dependency on the main mod Starwind. Note, that any data= folder should have the same structure as the Data Files folder in the Morrowind folder. 2ff7e9595c
