I'm doing a fresh install and I downloaded the TR files according to the tutorial video. I have the Tamriel Rebuilt 18.09 files downloaded to data files. I have the HD Data Files downloaded to the Morrowind file. They all appear to be present in the respective folders. I have registered the PT_Data.bsa and TR_Data.bsa to the Archives of the Morrowind.ini. I have the TR_Mainland.esm and Tamriel_Data.esm checked. According to the video tutorial, I should be ready to go. But I've tried traveling off the Bitter Coast/Vivec area and still encounter Wilderness, instead of the Tamriel Rebuilt lands. 

 

Could someone give me a clue what I'm missing? Mlox does give this warning:  !!!'TR_Mainland.esm' Requires:  MISSING(TR_Data.esm)' The video said nothing about downloading another TR data file. I assumed this was an outdated error message since the new releases. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Tr_data.esm is in the same download file as Tr_data.Bsa and PT_Data.bsa. you need to copy those 3 files and activate Tr_data.esm along side tr_Mainland.esm.

Edit: also if you are trying to go to the land near vivec/seyda neen, you need TR_Preview.esp activated (found in the same file as mainland.esm).

this is what is needed in your data files:

TR_Data.bsa
PT_Data.bsa

Tamriel_Data.esm
TR_Mainland.esm
TR_Preview.esp

Activate the esm and esps. And have the bsa registered in your ini.

Hi thanks for the response. I couldn't really follow you. Tr_data.esm wasn't in the files I downloaded. It doesn't appear anywhere in Mash. Are you confusing it with Tamriel_Data.esm, which does? Also my understanding of Preview was that it's unstable and subject to change. But I thought that area was already finished in much older versions of Tamriel Rebuilt? I'm not sure if I should use it?

On the subject of previews this map: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/sites/default/files/images/TR_mini.png shows the areas that are finished and playable and the areas that are still in-development so are in Preview.

In regards to the other, you downloaded and installed this: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44537/ ?

Yes tamriel_data.esm. I'm away from a computer so I had to try remembering the files. 

preview is the only way to get landmass near bitter coast.

Ok so yes I downloaded that Tamriel Data file. I also tried running through with Preview clicked. But there was no landmasses at all? What is the nearest place to Ebonhart that I can go to see if TR is working? When I had installed the new TR and still had the old TR in place, I never used Preview. I just had those landmasses. So that's honestly weird. Now that I've started a fresh install I can't seem to get any of it working.

So I gave my char 6000 speed and hightailed it from Vivec to the Grazelands. There is no evidence of TR anywhere. But I don't see why it wouldn't be working. :(

So say for example you have a fresh install of morrowind. No mods or anything. Just Morrowind.esm, Tribinal.esm, and Bloodmoon.esm.

First thing I would do is go to Tamriel Data on nexus and download it. Then unpack it, and copy Tamriel_Data.esm, TR_Data.bsa and PT_Data.bsa to data files in your morrowind directory.

Then I would go to Tamriel Rebuilt on nexus, and download the latest version 18.09. Unpack the file and copy TR_Mainland.esm, and TR_Preview.esp to data files.

then go to Morrowind.ini, go down to archives, and make it look like this:

Archive 0=Tribunal.bsa
Archive 1=Bloodmoon.bsa
Archive 2=PT_Data.bsa
Archive 3=TR_Data.bsa

archive 2 and 3 you would type as it's shown above, and then save the ini after. This is registering the bsa's.

Then when you run Morrowind launcher, check off Tamriel_Data.esm, TR_Mainland.esm, and TR_Preview.esp under Data Files button on the Launcher splash.

that should be everything, and it should work.

Also if your using the steam version make sure its not save-sycnhed otherwise it will overwrite the ini every time you launch.

Ok wait. I haven't seen TR_data.esm in the two downloads the tutorial video recommends. There was just the Mainland 18.09 to unpack. And the Tamriel Data to unpack. TR_data.esm isn't in the Tamriel Data package. So where do I find that?

And my archives look just like that. So I think I'm ok there. It's got to be the missing TR_Data.esm that is causing the problem!

It is in Tamriel_Data. Ignore any mention of TR_Data.esm. it is actually called Tamriel_Data.esm. And TR preview adds majority of the landmass, Tamriel_Data only adds assets.

In the screenshot, copy those 3 files that are found under data files. Tamriel_Data.esm is a 7mb file.

You should end up with:

Tamriel_Data.esm
TR_Mainland.esm
TR_Preview.esp
TR_Data.bsa
PT_Data.bsa

That is what I have but Tamriel Rebuilt isn't working in my game and I can't see any reason for it. The only other thing I have installed is MSGO. Tamriel Rebuilt has never not worked before. I don't understand. Can you help me troubleshoot? There must be some way to figure out what is going on? Really appreciate your help.

I don't know what to tell you sorry. Are you sure everything is a fresh install? New save game? Because installing TR is really easy.

Yes everything is fresh install. MSGO works without problems. And most definitely it's checked in Data Files and Wrye Mash. Mlox wouldn't have had an error message without that being the case. Also I do have a Warnings text:

Thats normal for mgso. You can ignore those errors. Its part of a clothing mod that doesn't have foot bones in the animation, not related to TR in any way.

You use mlox to sort out the order list right? 

I don't use wyre mash, though I know what it does, so I don't think that would cause any issues. What I would suggest is deactivate all your mods from the launcher, and only check off morrowind.esm, tribunal.esm, bloodmoon.esm, tr_mainland.esm, tr_preview.esp, and tamriel_data.esm. Then open mge xe and run distant land generator (make sure to select all plugins mentioned above) and rerun distant lands. 

hopefully this helps.

I also want to note that MSGO is not a good mod to have when troubleshooting. It does so many things and is incompatible with some parts of TR. So if you are using TR and MSGO, expect to see floating objects and cave enterances getting blocked.

That did it! <3 I could squeeze you. Regenerating Distant Lands seems to have fixed the problem. TR is now populating. You're awesome.

There are a lot of new error messages. Do you have any idea what's wrong?

Nothing to worry about, those errors are MSGOb related, and they will not cause any issues during gameplay. Happy to help :)

Are any of those texture warnings of concern? This seems like a lot of error messages to me.

The textures will still work. They're just not optimized well. It's all good.

Thanks. My Distant Lands doesn't seem to be working though. Everything is in fog. And you still can't see any TR lands. They start slowing popping up as you approach. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've even rerun the whole MSGO set up twice. I've never had a problem with it doing this. This time I installed the new TR and it just won't seem to work. Don't suppose you have any ideas about this?

When you go to distand land generator wizard, it will show all the mods with check boxes beside them. Make sure you select the "Select all" button before clicking on "continue" to generate distand lands.

Thanks I have. But every time I go through it, I still come out with fog obscurring everything and no real view distance :(

No. Everything has the fog like the vanilla game has. You can't see for miles like you should after installing MSGO. It's the first time that has happened after installing MSGO. I've rerun the MGE and Distant Lands several times. I even tried rerunning the whole installation a few times. Same results each time and that makes no sense. The only difference in installing this dozens of times is the new TR. I can't see anything else that is different.

It's 100% an issue with MGE XE. Something not being configured correctly. Do you have fog mode turned to range vertex (best)? 

Also I'm thinking that distant land isn't being generated correctly. What you describe is definetly distant land generation through mge xe screwing up somewhere along the line.
