A few questions about this mod

fredstek · Post by **fredstek** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 10:23 am

Hey guys i have never finished either of morrowind or oblivion but both games were great. I am buying a new i5 2500k computer soon and hope it will run morrowind graphics overhaul and other graphics enhancing mods with a nvidiea gt440 and 8gb 2000mhz drr3 ram. I want to try and play morrowind again with graphics overhaul and this tamriel rebuilt mod. will the graphics overhaul interfere with tamriel rebuilt? Also when will this mod be out? lol had to ask.

Visual mods should not interfere with our mod, unless those mods for whatever reason edit cells away from Vvardenfell. We do have some members working on grass mods for our next and future releases.

We've already released the first two parts of the Morrowind mainland, Sacred East (the next one) is out sometime soon but I can't give any definite date other than "when it's done". The whole province being completed is definitely a long way off.

I have -only- messed around in TR with graphics replacers. All of the internal maps look fantastic with graphics mods; I don't use the Overhaul, but it shouldn't be a problem.

The only replacer that has any problems with TR is Vurt's Mournhold "Cherry Blossom" tree replacer. They look beautiful in LO forest but there is a town called Bosmora where certain walkways are planned around the original dimensions of these trees so the new trees clip pretty heavily with the walkways and make certain places hard to navigate. It's no big deal though and pretty easy to fix in the CS, so I wouldn't be surprised if a fix came out when Release 4 hits, even if I have to make the fix myself

Also kind of weird but not a problem is that on maps 1 and 2, grazeland trees are set to pretty ridiculous scales which looks a little strange (but also kind of neat) in distant land.

You can see some screens of TR I took running graphics mods [url=http://knotstheinane.blogspot.com/2011/06/tamriel-rebuilt.html]here[/url] if you're curious.

BY THE WAY: If you're spending 2k on a computer it is kind of ridiculous that you're only getting an i5/440 with that cash. A 440 will run morrowind with graphics mods but not as well as, say, a 480 or a 5870. If you are spending that kind of money on a computer, you should have some of the best hardware money can buy and that just ain't the best.

You should consider building your own computer by buying parts from sites such as [url=http://www.newegg.com]Newegg[/url]. It's -really easy- (like building with legos, seriously) to build a computer and you can make a ridiculously good computer on that kind of budget, much much better than an i5/440. Just take a look at this [url=http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af150/The_FalconO6/CurrentLogicalPCBuyingGuide/Guide.png]image guide[/url] to see what kind of parts you can get for your money. Really, look at that guide. AN i7 2600k with TWO 6970s in it for $1630. That's a full 1k dollars less and it kicks the crap out of the computer you are thinking about buying.

And let's be real, Intel is for squares anyway.

The two parts that are out are maps 1 and 2 with quests and everything? I am only going a 440 because i spent all the money i had on the other parts. The 440 will be fine i think to run allot of older games that i have missed out on because i plan on doing some catching up first. My last pc from early 2006 was a amd so i am gonna give intel my money this time

Am going to get two powerfull cards later and sli them and overclock the cpu to 4.7

Post by **Haplo** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 3:06 am

Why don't you just go for an i7, then? And a Solid State Drive to put your OS on, or a 10000RPM disk at least...

fredstek · Post by **fredstek** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 9:31 am

i7 2600k have hyperthreading which i dont really care for and apparently dont work as well for games as 2500k. seen some bench marks and the i5 2500k beats them by like over 10fps. Also SDD are way to expensive and i dont care for them at all especially in a desktop computer. And who the fudge uses disks any more? lol

I just hope that the single GT440 will be enough for morrowind with graphics overhaul or other graphics enhancing mod. I am not quite sure which graphics mod to go with yet but i also want to update these things like Immersion with more music "same music over and over got boring", better fighting, having to eat food/sleep. Just lots of mods that make it a better more immersive experience. Can someone please suggest mods like these?

actually....i spose i could get a ssd for the operating system so it will boot faster.

I think you'd be better off asking this sort of question at the official Morrowind Mods forum:

So are you still working on this mod? Looks epic (haven't tried it yet), but it's beta. Any ETA for release?

Cocytus · Post by **Cocytus** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 2:04 am

They're still working on it, but there isn't and probably never will be an ETA on the final release. Preferably sometime between now and the heat death of the universe, but no promises.

Release date = current date + (number of times people have whined/bitched/complained about us not releasing + number of times people have asked when we will release / number of times we have answered) + 1d20

Which, even if we had a means of figuring out those values, would be completely meaningless on account of the utter lack of actual units involved. :3

Post by **Haplo** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:44 pm

Actually we do keep a running tally. We are currently at 483 since Antediluvian Secrets was released.

Damn, I must have sounded like an idiot with that question

You've made one awesome mod guys. Just wanted to know if you're still working on it and if it will ever be complete. Too bad I'm not good at modding or anything. I'm good at Customer Support - any chance I can be useful?

For some reason, I cannot view the whole map of TR in world map mode. Any known ways to fix this?

Jule · Post by **Jule** » Thu Sep 15, 2011 2:26 pm

You should download the MCP (Morrowind Code Patch). Once downloaded, you can choose to expand the worldmap, which will allow you to see the mainland on the worldmap.

Oh right! I have it, but back when I used it, I didn't have TR yet. Thanks!
