Morroblivion Starting Ship Crash

I have never crashed when exiting the ship or at all during that whole opening sequence, and I have tested that a bunch of times. Some others had experienced crashes After exiting the hold and then talking to the Redguard on deck. I had put up some suggestions, but never heard anything back I don't know if they fixed the issues or not. I have begun assembling the entire mod into a package with ALL the meshes and textures. That type of thing is totally taboo, but it may end up being the only thing that works reliable. Then we would at least know that we were working from the same thing. The package is 329mb. I will try to upload it overnight tonight, but I would want somebody to test it before I put out any type of common link.

I am not really sure what your plans are in the game, but this console code might be helpful for the moment: COE -3 -18 It will teleport you to Seyda Neen, but unfortunately your feet will be stuck in the ground and you will need to use TCL to get loose.

I am confused. Starting a new game with Morrowind activated places you in Sedya Neen. There would be no need to take the boat. Unless you took the boat to Cyrodiil, then came back to Sedya Neen. Can you describe what, exactly, you are doing in as much detail as possible? Exactly where does this crash occur? What mods do you have installed? What is the sequence of events leading up to the crash? I think I may put a Quest Target into this quest so that "MoveToQT" would take you exactly where you needed to go.

Thank you for the info on Start Choices. I have never actually used that; it was just a pass-through recommendation. I will update the Readme, but I do not know how Start Choices will behave if not used at Start. I'll have to investigate. You do not need Bloodmoon or Tribunal. They are completely Empty. I'm not sure it will make any difference, but would you try two things please? * Try it with ONLY Oblivion and Morrowind active. * Try it with Oblivion, Morrowind, and World Transport active. This does sound a little like what others have reported. I am wondering if there is something corrupt in the Conversion. The trouble is trying to track down what. You could try installing the OMOD on top of your existing conversion. There is a fair chance that whatever is possibly corrupt will be fixed with the OMOD.

Thank you for testing both options. There seems to be something in this general area that is somewhat commonly corrupt, and this is most likely during conversion. If you are using Wrye Bash and have a Bashed Patch, you need to rebuild it. That may solve your issue. OBMM has an option to extract OMOD files to a folder. That's the only thing I ever use it for. The OMOD is available here: http://morroblivionfull.blogspot.com/ Simply rerunning the converter will NOT help you -IF- there is something corrupt, and we have not determined definitively that is the problem. The converter does not replace existing files. You would first need to do an uninstall with Tes4files available on Nexus. Then reconvert.

Here are some answers to some of the things you have reported: Oblivion does not support wildcard name, rank, and faction codes like Morrowind could, so it can not fill in the blanks on the Release Identification Papers. The code has been removed to render blanks rather than gibberish, so the appearance of the Release Identification Papers is correct and working as planned. 'I am %name, and %rank of %faction' is part of the very same compatibility problem. Whenever I see dialog like that I remove the gibberish so the gamer can't see it. The mod is undergoing lots of changes right now, so I bet someone activated some dialog that was not previously viewable. I will have to delete more gibberish. For some reason Arrille is glitchy and won't sell things to people if his default AI package is used. I wrestled with this problem for two hours one night. The only solution I found was to let him wander a bit, and now he is happy to sell things to people. Some of the items used in Morroblivion are identical to the Oblivion items and / or use the Oblivion icon. You will find a mixture of items wherever you go. I had a very similar problem where I could not get any icons for Morrowind items. All I would get was silver ax icons. You can download this mod which fixes icons: http://www.mediafire.com/?rgf24g6y652vu5r If you are willing to use the CS, I am sure there is a lot of work you would be capable of doing to help the project. Many of the jobs would involve learning one operation in the CS and then inspecting lists of hundreds of items and doing the action on each problem you find. This would fix one aspect of Morroblivion everywhere at all times in the Morrowind game world. I am sure that there is some type of work which would suit your tastes because there is work in so many fields available.

You have no idea how touchy dialog is and how much I have had to fight with it. There are LOTS of other things you can do; just take a look around. I do not "merge" dialog; instead I copy it one line at a time. If you would like your stuff to be included in future releases, the most direct way is to send me a PM, but any of the options you described would work. We are cooperating very loosly on this project. There is no Project Leader and nobody giving direction. I have made a post of requests that you can check, or you can pick something. It all depends on what you see. Yoshimo has made entire mods fixing the placement of items, but Morrowind is a very big place. Do all spells function properly? That could be something. My first suggestion to people is start playing as you have done, and either report the bugs, or if you see something you think you can fix, then fix it. For missing textures you can try reconverting again, or try reinstalling the support files, or both.

BForrest, Sorry, I forgot to address your question about licensing. Realized what we're dealing with. Bethesda Softworks is the company that has not bothered to finish fixing game breaking bugs in Oblivion. They have not bothered to Patch the THOUSANDS of bugs that the "Unofficial" Oblivion Patch addresses. These guys are certainly never going to bother to rethink or change their position on Morroblivion. Additionally, replacing all the Meshes and Textures in the game with user created version, plus Morrowind_ob.esm would mean that players could just download the mod and never need to have purchased Morrowind. Big No-No. What you see is what you get. Imagining that someday we will be OK is just a daydream; it will never really happen.

^ Well Bethesda has a habit of making games "free" when they are old enough (daggerfall was 13 years old) ... maybe in the next 4-5 years Morrowind will be made free ... and then there will be no issues with morroblivion's legality.

Darth South is absolutely right; more information would be helpful. A full Load Order would be needed (use BOSS, or OBMM, or Wrye Bash to get one). My first guess, however, is that you are running Windows 7, have installed Oblivion to it's default location, and are running into User Access Control. My second guess is what Darth South said, your Load Order.
