I assume that you've already got Morrowind (and its expansions) and Oblivion (patched to 1.2), and downloaded Morroblivion. Okay, your first step is to extract the Morroblivion files. You need 7-zip or some other similar file extractor to do it. Just extract them to a folder on your desktop, or whereever. Next, once everything's extracted, navigate to that folder and inside will be a file called Morroblivion.ini. Open that up with a text editor, and we're going to change a couple things. The original should look like this:

; Initialisation file containing Path and Files to use ; with Morroblivion ESP Converter and NIF Converter ; lines to be ignored begin with ";", to uncomment a line ; just remove the ";" ; Morrowind and Oblivion paths, don't forget to change them ; if you did not install the 2 games in the default folders Morrowind=C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\ Oblivion=C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\ ; Master files to convert with ESP Converter, ; ignored by NIF Converter Master 0=Morrowind.esm Master 1=Tribunal.esm Master 2=Bloodmoon.esm Master 3=PNOG.esm ;Master 4= ;Master 5= ;Master 6= ; Archive files to use for conversion, ; used by both ESP Converter and NIF Converter Archive 0=Morrowind.bsa Archive 1=Tribunal.bsa Archive 2=Bloodmoon.bsa Archive 3=PNOG.bsa ;Archive 4= ;Archive 5= ;Archive 6= ; Mod files to merge with during ESP/ESM conversion, ; ignored by NIF Converter Mod 0=Better Clothes_v1.0.esp Mod 1=CanadianIce Robe Replacer.esp Mod 2=Armures de femmes.esp ;Mod 3= ;Mod 4= ;Mod 5= ;Mod 6= ;Mod 7= ;Mod 8= ;Mod 9=

What you want to do next is place a semicolon ( ; ) in front of anything you don't want to convert. For instance, if you don't own Tribunal or Bloodmoon, you'd place a ; in front of the master and archive lines of those expansions. If you own both, just leave them as they are. Place a ; in front of the lines containing PNOG, unless you're French, because those lines have to do with the French version of the game. Also, near the bottom of the file you'll see some stuff like Mod 0=. Place a ; in front of those if you don't have those Morrowind mods, or just don't want to convert them. Once you're done editing the file, save and close it, and return to the folder. Now, there will be a file called ESP_conv. Double click that to start the conversion process. It will take a while to convert them, so sit back or go do something else for a bit. It'll let you know when it's done. When it's finished, exit out and open up Oblivion. Click Data Files at the launch screen, and enable Morrowind_ob.esm. Currently, you don't really need to enable Tribunal_ob.esm and Bloodmoon_ob.esm. Also! look into downloading the CNME mod. This mod will place a ship in the Anvil docks that takes you to Seyda Neen. That's all, enjoy! Read the attached ReadMe for further details and information. I just translated it from French with Google Translate, so the English might be a bit off. But I don't speak French, so it'll have to do. :)

basic problem

it like doesn't recognize the file directory i put in which is C:\programfiles(86)\Steam\steamapps\common\morrowind and always reverts back to C:\programfiles\bethesda softworks\morrowind i also have oblivion for steam also in same place place where morrowind. is it that theres too many didgits that I'm putting in and some how making it not save. neeeeed help. I'm stuck at this little problem otherwise i wouldn't have posted at lest 2 BIG comments.

compadability

is this supposed to work on vista or xp or both because the morroblivion.ini is not saving the place where it asks you to type where morrowind and oblivion are, says "do you like to save changes" i click yes and then the process starts over. now that i think is this able to work with steam (file location, not the game itself) it seems that whenever i search for a big mod like this it ends up doing something out of the ordinary.

going to try redownloading see if that helps

title says it all.

Hey, I have noticed a couple

Hey, I have noticed a couple people posting about having morrowind for steam. I was having trouble at first untill it dawned on me, I wasn't typing out the complete file path. here is what my file path was, hopefully this helps fellow steam users. Morrowind=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Morrowind\ I did the same for oblivion and the ESP converter is currently running, hasn't crashed yet so I am hoping it doesn't :) (I am running windows 7 so that is why I included the "(x86)" in the filepath. hope this helped!)

loginmaster..well all i can

loginmaster..well all i can say is make sure you read the readme file..also check if both morrowind and oblivion cirectories on the converter ini file are equal to the ones you got your MW and OB installed in..and also the mod config too... blah can't really explain myself...read the readme dude

File converting

Ok iv redownloaded morrowind over and over again and i keep getting the same flippin message when i try to do the file conversion C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\MorrowindData files\Morrowind.esm Does not exist! ummmmm any suggestions?

search the file where your

search the file where your morrowind esm is and copy past the pathway??

Did you install Morrowind to

Did you install Morrowind to C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind ? -Try installing it somewhere else maybe, like D:/ -Try running the ESP converter with administrator rights. -Or if on vista try turning off the UAC and run the converter.

Converter problem

So After moving both Oblivion and Morrowind to the Program Files folder(They were in Program Files(x86) I ran it again and everything ran great and then it said "Can't created C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data\Morrowind_ob.cnv!" Any suggestions?

Yeah, You gota make sure you

Yeah, You gota make sure you cancel out the french thing i bet you already did that thou. And if your on vista or 7 Run it in administor

Yep

I canceled out the French thing, and I'm running it as the Admin and it's still not working.

ESP_conv.exe

i set a ; in front of Better Clothes_v1.0.esp, CanadianIce Robe Replacer.esp, and Armures de femmes.esp because i dont have those mods but the ESP_conv.exe still looks for them. am i doing somthing wrong or do i need to go get those mods

Morroblivion with Ubuntu Wine

Hi, I reinstalled Morrowind this WE, Great pleasure to play this marvellous game again ;) I use Ubuntu 9.10 and Wine/Play on linux to play. My question is : " Does Morroblivion works well with this configuration and if yes, is there anything to do differently than with a Windows OS to be sure it will works ? " Thanks in advance, Groh

A simple solution to a not-so-simple mod!

Reading through some of the posts, I've found that some people have the problem of getting the esp converter to run correctly. Here is something that I figured out, that I'm sure will help someone; When it says "morrowind.esm Tribunal.esm Bloodmoon.esm etc. does not exist!" there is something you need to look at. on your configuration, be sure you put a '/' at the END of the directory! ex; C:/Program Files (x86)/Bethesda Softworks/Morrowind/ <-!!! When it says they do not exist, it is because the program looks for C:/Program Files (x86)/Bethesda Softworks/MorrowindData files/morrowind.esm !!!! With the '/' it will look in the correct place, looking for C:/Program Files (x86)/Bethesda Softworks/Morrowind/Data files/morrowind.esm instead!!! Hope this helps someone! I have noticed that in morrowind, some people's armors arent replaced, and a lot of people wearing armor are missing their arms! I found it rather funny to run around in this armor with hand to hand! :P

error: file not located!

Heya. I just downloaded this mod. And when i run the esp converter thing, then it says that bloodmoon, tribunal, morrowind and some other files couln't be located. But... I have windows 7, and a Norwegian computer. So... all my downloadfiles automaticly saves at Programfiles (86x). But on Norwegian it's Programfiler (86x). Can you please help me, so i can change the destination path? Thank you :)

Solution!!!

Im really tired now so i didn't read all the post and maybe someone mentioned it before but i found a solution: The mod looks for files here: c:\program files\Bethesda Softworks\morrowind and: c:\program files\Bethesda Softworks\oblivion so if you (I did) changed "Bethesda softworks" to "bethesda" or for some other reason the names of the file are different (like when you bought the game from steam) the map(folder) location is different, you should make sure that the oblivion/morrowind games are in : c:\program files\Bethesda Softworks\ and here you should put the folders: "oblivion" and "Morrowind" and DON'T change the names of the maps in the game folders. EDIT: the folder name might also be different if you downloaded free from some torrent engine/site or whatever the folder name for example: c:\program files\[b]RAZOR[/b]\Bethesda Softworks\oblivion PS: I if you have steam the maps are different i don't know how to fix this, i dont know shit about computers and the only reason i found this solution is i noticed the folder location in the CMD window were (where?) wrong. My english isn't very well, forgive me for that.

Ok, i took all the files

Ok, i took all the files into programfiles But when i run ESP_conv, then it says afterwards: can't create C:\blablabla\ Morrowind_ob.cnv ... :(

WOW!

Just installed this on Windows 7. It works like a charm! Yay! Vvardenfell!! Thank you so much :D The only wrinkle was that the first time I ran the converter, it didn't have authorization; it failed, and then asked if I wanted to try with authorization. Everything else worked like a charm. YOU ROCK! G.

Help! Something is not

Help! Something is not working with the ESP converter. And other things for that matter. When I try to use it it says that there are "no records in!". when I tried to uninstall and reinstall morrowind, it said that it couldn't launch the program!

Sorry to shock but it seems

Sorry to shock but it seems most likely that your problem is with MW and not with the converter..also Check that your MW has its latest patch :)

Im havin some trouble with this whole thing........

ummm normally im pretty good with mods and programs and stuff.......but the whole how to set up morroblivion threw me......im very interested in playing it but i cant seem to get it to work for me.......i converted all the files and activated esp and esm's but nothing in oblivion changed.......did something go wrong?.....should i delete the stuff and try again?......if someone could plz help me with this i would be very grateful........u can reach me at ghost8403@yahoo.com......i would prefer there.....but a post here is fine..... Cheers, Ghost

@ghost: I had the same

@ghost: I had the same problem ... do you have Oblivion patched to the latest version ... (1.2 I think).

@Hashmi1....lol i fixed it

and yes i did hav it patched as i am a user of many other oblivion mods...........i did not follow the instructions as closely as i thought.......but i got it up and going now.......i do hav a different ? now tho..........i dled the Morrowind/Tribunal?Bloodmoon main quest redo's for morroblivion........and i start the game up to go.........and then whether or not i skip the bethesda logo videos......it always freezes at the end.......ive tried changing the load order and getting rid of some mods but nothing so far has worked for me.....any ideas?.....neone lol? Thx Hashmi1 cheers, Ghost

@Hashmi1 again......lol

btw i did notice something......but r u the guy whos doing morroblivion armor restoration?.......i jus wanted to say that if ur still workin on it than great job and count me in as a future downloader!

Hmmm ... I have'nt tried any

Hmmm ... I have'nt tried any quest mods yet so I dont really have much experience with that ... but anyways I think there is an update\patch included with that mod that fixes crashes. Oh and yes I am the one working on Armors restored :D ... thanks for your support.

ok thx very much

........i do hav one more ?.....is the object replacer mod ne good?....in ur opinion....cuz i hav been on the fence about and im not sure if i want to use it or not......and no problem......thank you for ur help and advice that u hav given me so far......ill jus email the author and see if he can help.... Cheers, Ghost

I wouldn't really recommend

I wouldn't really recommend the object replacer ... at least not as such ... you get Shivering Isles plants (including the giant Mushrooms) which look odd in Vvardenfell. Also it replaces Ogrims with Ogres (so you get them showing up in Daedric Shrines and tombs ... which is just plain wrong ) and finally it replaces clothing of NPCs which looks nice but causes naked NPCs with other mods which effects NPC's (like quests or CNME etc.) But you can try it if you like (tweaking the inis to fix the issues described above).

I have win 7 64bit and it works fine

Kia Ora Whats is the path to you game install? I used g:\games\ etc if you have used the default like: c:\Program Files (x86) [the {x86} will be the default Win path for 32bit software] you will have issues with read right permissoons, so even a c:\Progams\ would work as it a non standard win7 directory. I found to I had no luck till I patched Morrowind as well as Oblivion. So having patched it and installing in non standard place the windoz don't care about I run the converter then I tweeked the ini and chamged some of the mods and run it again,.. I got all of my 1024x1024 textures and mods like Balmora Expansion v1.4 to load only thing to fix is the naked bodies running round now lol did Better Bodies and Better heads so the look pretty good but need fix it for lore\Law sake a

Morroblivion works but not completely

I have follow the steps of installation and the mod finaly works but not completely......many clothes aren't visible and the eyes of the Npc are black and the map is empty ...............please help me!!! I REALLY LIKE THIS MOD!!!!

@leontas2007: Thats normal.

@leontas2007: Thats normal. Morrowind does not convert completely so there are bugs like that. The map problem however is caused by CNME as far as I am aware ... disable CNME and try again.

thanks for the help. I more

thanks for the help. I more thing.....is there any fix? I have search google and tesnexus and I have find a few fix mods but if you know more please let me know. postscript: I have download balmora expansion mod but it didn't work.....can you please help me with the installation?

There isn't a fix for

There isn't a fix for everything ... yet, but we are still working on it. The thing is that there are too few people working on the project and so things are going really slow. Feel free to join the team and sped things up :p To make mods, like balmora expansion, work you need to list them in morroblivion.ini (its in the folder which has the ESP converter you download from this website.)

Crashed converter

I had same problem with wolfskin - so i disabled expansions (even though i have them installed) and converter seems to work. If i get to morrowind now, im gonna try to make expansions work aswell.

Its fairly normal for the

Its fairly normal for the converter to crash ... however it works out if you just re-run it again. Mine always crashes on some Vanilla door file ... I just restart the converter and it then it works fine till the end.

ONLY WATER

When I exit the ship all people of the town are swimming and only a few little isles can be seen, the doors of the houses staying on the air and no wall to be seen. I'm using XP, have Bloodmoon and Tribunal, have loaded only the main file Morrowind.esm in the data files of Oblivion. What can I do? Plaese, help and thank you.

Dear Rhonail, have you

Rohanil ... you need to change the load order so morroblivion loads right after oblivion.esm ... for that you need the oblivion mod manager.

Thank you, now it works. But

Thank you, now it works. But there are still many thing that must be set fixed. I hope you do a good job.

And... another thing: why

And... another thing: why don't you write the instruction you gave to me in the main post? It will help others.
