Morroblivion: The Resurrection of Morrowind

I have always valued history as you can learn things from it or it always contained good stories. I've decided we should have a history page. What I ask from older forum members is that, they tell me the history of Morroblivion starting with Galladrielle till David took over, because I don't know much about it to write. Also if anybody has the archive, if we can link to the past versions it may be cool.

 

This page is still a work in progress.

MORROBLIVION HISTORY

MORROBLIVION CONVERSION:

Morroblivion was actually made possible by the program which was designed by the modder "Galladrielle". I couldn't find the exact date it came out, but the earliest post I found at his own part at a forum marked 06/27/2007.

http://forum.wiwiland.net/index.php?/topic/39859-morroblivion-morrowind-dans-oblivion/

 

MORROBLIVION BAN ON TESNEXUS AND BETHFORUMS:

It happened at February 4, 2008. Bethesda prevented Morroblivion from developing as  it may eventually cause playing Morrowind without buying it. Bethesda also informed if it was only their game they would be ok with it, however Morrowind had some work from other companies which may sue Bethesda. I've also noted that it caused more protest than I imagined. Their reputation was really harmed because of this.

Here is the link of TesNexus's admin's clearification: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=49000

MORROBLIVION.COM FOUNDED:

Zach started the Morroblivion.com site on May 22, 2008 as a place for people to get together and work on the mod.  It is thanks to him that we have this site and community forums!

 

MORROWIND_OB.ESM VERSION RELEASE SUMMARIES:

AUTHOR'S NOTE: First of all I want to put most of the credit to David Budreck's organized work. He almost wrote a summary for every single version till the current one which made this possible. I've basically copied them and changed the tenses and "I"s to David Budreck.

 

Version 01: 09/13/2010

There was no summary of this version so David used the greatest tool of all times to give me some information. His memory. Here is a direct quotation:

"v001 was first and foremost a cleaning of the file created during conversion. When opening an original from conversion in the Construction Set, there were hundreds of errors. My first goal was to clean that up.

I then substituted Vvardenfell Imports meshes for Morrowind meshes at the Master Level.

This had the unfortunate effect of rendering John117's "Armors Restored" mod obsolete and incompatible, which I have always regretted because he put so much work into it, was one of the original mods I used when playing, and would NOT have stayed around or played through what I did without it.

I believe I also went through the entire list of NPC's, top to bottom, making it so that all Merchants would trade properly."

 

Version 02: 09/19/2010

• 24 articles of Morrowind Clothing have been updated. A copule of these have been redirected at other existing Morrowind clothes, but the majority have been redirected to Oblivion items. This addressed conspicuous invisible body parts on NPC's.

 

Version 03: 

 David Budreck told this about this version at his summary:

"This version starts to make Morrowind playable. From now on things will only get better..."

 

Also this version had a three version for itself.

V03-A: 10/01/2010

This basically did not work. It was a bad merge.

 

V03-B: 10/02/2010

It contained things that supposedly be contained by V03-A. This practically was only a fix.

 

V03-D: 10/13/2010

V03-C was directly merged with D and released together. It had enormous fixes, while having no new content.

 

v003-C Added:

• Missing Dialog from Morrowind Rebuilt by the Queen of the Ashlands
• Cliffracer Hotfix supplied by Eloth
• Hlaalu Helms have been fixed
• Morrowind/Oblivion Hotfix for compatibility between Morrowind and Oblivion Quests
• Suppressed annoying "Current Events" chatter by NPC's as if Morrowind was a distant place...

 

v003-D Added:

•  Morrowind/Oblivion Hotfix has been updated to a better, more Permanent Fix
• Some Faction Relations have been tweaked (but people still don't really care for each other)
• Minor Landscaping in Balmora
• Main Quest has been Debugged through the first Quest and into the Second

 

Version 04: 10/16/2010

• Cleanup to fix errors in Conversion and/or Merging. This addresses nearly all remaining errors.
• Missing Dwemer Machinery and Corridors from the Conversion. These have been supplied by Eloth.
  
• Missing Lava Vents supplied by Eloth.
  
• LOD Meshes for Vivic Cantons by Yoshomo
  
• Ash Storms by Yoshimo (these look really Great!)
  
• Creatures 1.2 by Yoshimo
  
• Creatures 1.3 by Yoshimo
  
• Additional object placements and item tweaking by Yoshimo

This version brings back nearly all native denezins of Vvardenfell, along with some really great effects for Ash Storms. The addition of missing Dwemer meshes was very welcome as well.

 

Version 05:

No Direct Data, but I predict from old posts that it contained some items by Eloth.

 

Version 06: 10/19/2010

• Version 06 includes the Main Quest debugged through Quest #7 Sixth House Base and into Quest #8 Corprus Cure.
• Armor Rebalance by Sot
• Economy Rebalance by Rosenkreuz.
  

 

Version 07: 10/23/2010 

• Queen of Ashlands and Eloth brought back nearly every magic ring, amulet and weapon, an Eloth made them accessible through Leveled Lists and by adding them to NPC inventories.
• As now their weapons are added to the game, NPC were not unarmed anymore. It was noted By David Budreck that this was one the fundamental problems left from conversion.
• Yoshimo added Eloth's Steam Centurion to the game and Leveled Lists.

 

 

Version 08: 10/25/2010

•  The Main Quest had been finished through #9 Mehra Milo and the Lost Prophisies, and into #10 The Path of the Incarnate.

Yoshimo added:

• Wide assortment of fixes including the beginnings of removal of all non-functional projectile weapons,
• The addition of the pools in Urshilaku Burial Caverns using Eloth's model,
• A cluster of sidequests in Ald'Ruhn with Iendus Sarandus,
• A sidequest near Pelagiad with Maurrie Aurmine and Nelos Onmar,
• Enabling of all the initially disabled Dwemer architectural tiles and
• Alchemical apparatus effectiveness balancing.

 

• Also there were some usual object placement fixes, vendor fixes, AI fixes, factional relation fixes, container fixes, and spell and enchantment fixes.

 

Version 09: 10/27/2010

Here is a direct quote of Yoshimo from the readme of the mod which practically made version 9:

“This mod aims to remove all unusable Morrowind arrows, crossbow bolts, throwing stars, throwing knifes, and darts from the game. It will replace them with usable Oblivion arrows and make sure the modded NPCs have their bows. It probably eliminates 99.5 percent of them. There were a few items related to quests I have not played and do not understand. There are some silver Blood Moon arrows I do not know about and a whole gang of thieves with black darts. There is a sidequest where you are given ebony throwing stars as a reward. I have not touched any of that stuff. But I think a person should now be able to often play for a whole evening.”

 

Version 10: 10/29/2010

• Yoshimo had placed Hashmi's Kwama Queen in 38 Egg Mines and had done more cleanup on several dungeons. 
• He had included fixes for creatures, factions, and loot in Ilunibi and Tel Fyr. Fixes for spells, enchanted weapons, vendors, object placement, non-wild guar AI, NPCs, and other stuff.

 

• This version also included some Dwemer Meshes that were still disabled, pointed out by Panda, as well as a rob that made NPC wrists invisible that David Budreck had missed when replacing clothing.

 

• This version also included a custom Icon for Malipu-Ataman's Belt made for m by gbrassfield and Hashmi.

 

Version 11: 10/31/2010

• v011 contained a fix for "Meldor," a Bosmer Armorer in Balmora that apparently got lost in Conversion. The Frederick pointed this out.

 

Here is a direct copy-paste from David Budreck’s version summary:

“The Main Quest was ready for a release anyway. I had been floundering with the Path of the Incarnate for what seemed like forever in between back to back to back releases from Eloth and Yoshimo.

So, I have gotten past the Path of the Incarnate, and past the first of three Hortator Quests.

Thank you again to The Queen of The Ashlands! I would NEVER have been able to do this myself. It is AMAZING how much time and effort she had put into this!”

 

Version 12: 11/07/2010

A direct quotation from David Budreck’s summary:

“v012 was a lot of fun! It was especially nice to get some feedback!
* Thank you to the Hyperion Witch!
* Thank you to Panda!
* Thank you to Frederick!”

• This version included the Main Quest debugged through the end of the Fourth Trial.

• This version also addressed Huleeya. If you try to leave the Black Shalk Corner Club with Huleeya without first placating the thugs, they will attack you. David Budreck also strung Dagoth Gares' speech together so the player doesn’t pick a slew of dialog topics (and possibly making small talk about Dunmer and Morrowind).

 

• David Budreck also made Caius actually leave his room when recalled. He now turns ownership of the room properly over to the player so the player isn't stealing things! And, he tidies up a little before leaving. This makes Caius' Room truly usable as a player home, while not straying from lore.
• David Budreck cleaned up the "%PC..." from ALL Dialog. Some Chump deserved some credit on this by pointing out a much easier way of doing this.

 

• Caravaneers were made essential, so they won't foul up Silt Strider Transport if they fall off their perch.

• Panda had also spotted a couple of items of troublesome clothing that David had missed.

  

Version 13:  11/14/2010

• This release was mostly about the Main Quest. David Budreck had finished debugging the Fourth and Fifth Trials, and on to meeting Vivec in his Palace.
• David fixed a couple of bugs pointed out by Hyperion Witch.
  
• David also capitalized all the dialog topics.

 

Version 14: 11/27/2010

After this version people did not use the converter built by Galadrielle. All the files were uploaded so people can download them safely.

• This version included the complete Morrowind main quest.

• David Budreck rebuilt all the Morrowind Leveled Lists based off a Master provided by Eloth where he had put placeholders in for all the creatures to preserve them.

•  Fully Rebuilt Leveled List and Creature Spawnpoints

• Radits' Crime Fix

• All Dagoth's have had their aggression increased significantly

• The Resist Disease given at Tel Fyr will now all be Resist Disease instead of Silence

• Capitalized all Dialog Topics so they don't look so sloppy

• Eloth has provided a fix for Cliffraces that makes them lootable and gives them full world Havoc, meaning, no more etherial Cliffracers hovering in mid air! He has also improved their behavior.

 

Version 15: 12/12/2010
