Morroblivion

How are you going to handle shouting in Skywind? For instance, if a player wants to use shouts without going to Skyrim to find the words and so forth, will they be able to, and if so, how will they bypass the requirements needed in the base game to actually use them?

I'm impressed with the progress on Skywind so far. Actually, based on the version number it looks like you're further along with Skywind than you are with Morroblivion.

Regarding versions, yes Skywind is more advanced than Skyblivion because most of the team is dedicated to Skywind at the moment. When we have a official release of a "completed" version, then those interested in doing so would start working on Skyblivion.

I said Morrowblivion, not SkyOblivion.

Then, yes morroblivion is basically "complete", while Skywind is still under heavy development.

they should both work.

I don't have a good english so I hope I'll be understandable ...

Which file do you use for quest/dialogue texts ? Concretely, if I have a french version of the game, will the texts be in english or french ?

Hi please tell me who I shall contact to help for translate this enjoyable game (french in my case)

Hi, I'm passing by after seeing your Development video. I'm not sure if the font for the dialogues is finalised yet, but I wonder if there would be a way to change it? I find it very difficult to read (from the snippets that I've seen in your video.) As much as it is stylish, I just don't find it practical at all.

Just an FYI:  apparently the installer doesn't recognize Morrowind as modified by the Morrowind Code Project (MCP).  I got the error message that it wasn't found, while running the installer from within the Morrowind directory.  Only figured it out after MCP 1.8 in the lower left corner instead of 1.6.1820 for the version number.

There will be no real explanations about the time difference between Skyrim and Morrowind as part of the main package.

Skywind is a full game and can be thought of as a single experience. However, we don't block you from travelling to and from skyrim but as of now, the only optional package for now is adding travel arrows.

Anything fancier would have to be developped individually outside the core team.

Hi

This response is for SkassPeuk and DigitalParanoid.

I'll write it in english and in french

So I am Epervier666, the writer of the progam ESP/ESM Translation (on the Skyrim Nexus) which allow to translate all Elder Scrolls and Fallout mods (Bethesda ones).

I'm following this project since the very beginning (since Galadriel writes the first program which concerted a lot of morrowind into oblivion), even if it's the first time I write something. I don't have any tides with the team who does this great job.

I have begun to translate Skywind in french, using my program. I can't say I have almost finish, but I can say that I have 57773 / 62817 lines translated. So It's really advanced. Basically, I do Copy Paste, because I have a database with morrowind english/french texts. With some adjustments obviously.

I know the project is not done, but my program allows to update easily translations, so the work done won't be loose, and it will be much quicker to translate next versions once I finish this one (the 0.9).

I will give the translation when it's finished of course. I was doing that for me, and for anyone who wish it. So don't bother, I will finish it. If you absolutly want to do that by yourself, of course, I won't tell you otherwise.

Anyways, Thanks to all the team for this great project !!!

And now in french :

Donc salut, je suis Epervier666, le gars qui a écrit le programme ESP/ESM Transation (sur le Nexus de Skyrim) qui permet de traduire les mods de Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 et New Vegas.

Je suis ce projet depuis le tout début (depuis que Galadriel, sur le forum de wiwiland a écrit le tout premier programme qui permettait de convertir les fichiers de morrowind dans Oblivion), même si c'est la première fois que j'interviens sur le forum. Je n'ai aucun lien avec les personnes qui travaillent sur ce magnifique projet.

J'ai commencé à traduire Skywind en français, via mon programme. Je ne peux pas vraiment dire que j'ai presque fini, mais j'en suis quand même à 57773 lignes de traduites sur les 62817. Donc j'ai quand même pas mal avancé. En gros, le job se résume surtout à du copier coller, en utilisant ma base de données de morrowind, avec quelques ajustements bien sûr. C'est long et fastidieux, mais j'avance pas mal.

Je sais que le projet n'est pas terminé, mais mon programme permet de mettre à jour assez facilement des nouvelles versions, donc le boulot n'est pas fait pour rien (je traduis actuellement la version 0.9).

Bien sûr, la traduction sera disponible pour tous quand j'aurais terminé. Je faisais ça pour moi à l'origine. Bref, ne vous embêter pas à faire la traduction, je suis dessus. Bien sûr ce n'est pas une revendication quelconque : Si vous tenez absolument à la faire vous-même, c'est vos qui voyez. Je voulais juste indiquer que je le fais.

Voilou

 

Hi,

First I want to thank you for your great work.

And now questions...and maybe some statements :-)

Recently I read much about differences between Morrowind and Skyrim, what gamers like and hate in those games.

I don't know if this is general consensus but from what I read people like Skyrim for: graphics & sound (etc.) and fight system but prefer Morrowind in pretty much everything else :-). Maybe I'm simplifying it too much, but I don't want to write few pages to describe it in detail.

I myself agree whit what I read and would like to know if development team thinks similarly. So I have this questions.

1. Will the advancement in guilds depend on player stats or just the quests?

For me its one of best mechanics in Morrowind, providing immersion and replayability. I sold Oblivion after I became head of every Guild with my archer. I laughed when my warrior became archmage in Skyrim (with basically one initial test passed by buffing magicka). Of course you could exploit Morrowind mechanics to archive similar result, but it was never handed to you on a plate like in later games.

2. Will politics and faction affiliation of play role in player's journey.

In Morrowind for example you couldn't belong to opposing factions of House Telvani and Mages Guild at the same time (at least not without some exploits). This again provided immersion, replayability and forced you to consider consequences of your choices and actions. Such mechanics sadly scraped in Fallout 3 and simplified in Skyrim were successfully implemented in New Vegas which brings hope that it is not impossible to bring them in Skywind.

3. Would You consider rebuilding perk system to resemble weapon, armor etc. diversity from Morrowind?

It would be very important especially considering guild requirements. For example:

General attribute like One Handed could give you advancement in Warriors Guild, Thieves Guild and Morag Tong so I would like to see perk tree representing Morrowind's Short Blade attribute taken to consideration in this regard.

It's all I can think of right now but I'm sure more questions will come when I find my copy of Morrowind and install your mod.

Best regards to whole team.

PS:
One more thing:

Leveled Lists. I think that part of Morrowind experience was that to gain access to best gear, some parts of island etc. you had to be tough, or lucky, or cunning...or fast :-) You simply could not explore whole island on early levels, which adds some sort of mystery and give you motivation to progress and explore further and further.
Mass use of leveled content could break this original Morrowind feel. I hope You will find adequate compromise.

 

It's impressive how much is this progressing :)

I'm a long time lurker and I'm enjoying this development very much, trying and having great times with the versions you made available for download.

Alas, the link provided in your FAQ is not working anymore for me:

http://morroblivion.com/forums/skyrim/skywind-mod-releases/3323

I receive an "access denied" error message popping every time I try it. Is this thread blocked temporarily?

Why isn't skywind available anymore ?

Did people get bored of SkyWind so they moved on to SkyBlivion? I thought Skywind was done since Skyblivion was being worked on but then I found out it isn't even close...

Skyblivion is being worked on by a few people. Skywind is being actively developed by most of the modders here. Skywind is much further along in development than Skyblivion.

Technically, the only difference is quests and I'm pretty sure a tool is being made to recreate those, too. If all the tools work perfectly (and I believe everything is going extremely well right now), it will end up ahead of Skywind.

no

Will you be able to disable the actor dialog? for a more 'authentic' experience. Really looking forward to this, keep up the good work people!

If you mean the voice acting, then no, unless you want to delete the voices from your version of the assets manually. We're supposed to be modernizing Morrowind, and voice acting is a must for PC games of this caliber today.

Do you plan on doing this with daggerfall eventually?

If we were ever going to do this with Daggerfall, don't you think we'd have done that first?

The reason we won't is mainly because we'd have to do everything from scratch. Arena/Daggerfall don't use the same style of engine that the rest of the TES games do. This is also why I'm nervous about upcoming TES games, because if they use a completely different engine (Not just a souped up Gamebryo engine), then I don't think anyone would want to convert any of the past games to it, because again, we'd have to start from nothing.

If you REALLY want to help someone do something this outrageous though, take a look at these links:

Um, no voice acting will be a separate addon that doesn't need to be installed to play skywind...Its always been like that and it will continue like that. 

Edit: Never mind you corrected your mistake

Do you think doing Oblivion will be easier than Morrowind or about the same?

Can't wait to see Shivering Isles in revamped graphics.

Hi everyone, my question is about quests and dialogues in Skywind. Will you use exactly same dialogues with vanilla Morrowind? So can we see all and same Morrowind dialogues in Skywind??   I'm asking, 'cause we would like to translate Skywind into Turkish and if you gonna use same language pack with Morrowind, that means we do not need to wait for Skywind. Good luck!    

Hello 

will be Skywind translate to german language   ? plan anyone this job? :)

I get the impression Skywind is doing all the original Bethesda content so that's the main game, Tribunal and Bloodmoon. My question is, does it cover the 8 free official plug-in DLCs that Bethesda did? One or two should be irrelevant (one just added ambient sounds If i believe) but there was one with a mini quest etc. Seeing as these are just as valid as the main DLCs, is this happening?
