(Wip) Bloodmoon debugging

Since I very recently completed the Bloodmoon mainquest line with the help of very few console commands I think I can be of help.

The thing I missed most about the whole Bloodmoon questline was the abscence of the few voice that were in the original, like a few greetings and the song that Uncle Sweetshare sings. The way the Morrowind soundfiles are stored however doesn't make things very easy.

Most importantly however is the complete lack of creatures which would have to be done though the animations and meshes have been converted

Now to the bugs I remember that I encountered:

Going near the tree stone at any point will start the tree stone and Skaal questline in the middle basically breaking the whole thing.

Videos for Hircines line of quests are obviously missing

Hircine doesnt ever call you for the Castle Karstaag questline. In the castle itself there are placeholders for the talking rieklings

For The Ritual of Beasts going near the bear will trigger the healing queststage without ever having talked to the stone

That's all I can remember for now and btw Lycanthropy can be healed with the newest update.

edit: In the cave of hidden music there is no music and the puzzle doesnt work as intended though the quest does advance

In The Ritual of Water the swimmer doesnt lead you to the cave it just swims ashore

Thank you! I'm sure a lot of people would love to see Bloodmoon further debugged.

There are several entries on Bloodmoon quests on our Bugtracker - maybe this'll be of some use.

Morroblivion seems like its finally getting to the fully playable state with all quests done :)

Smugglers Quest the only problem my wife and Myself had was The 2 Guards would not Lock of when the Quest was Completed ,unless they Died.

I dont know what you are doing wrong have got Through the 2 Quests

No Sooner walk in the Front Door of Solstheim Grandrung Caverns and the Player was Hammered Straight Away All Were the Same Till the Last 1 He Has a Dispotion of 81 i put it in the Clip to Link to Clip when i went into Grandrung Caverns.. All tried to Kill Player.

Players Dispotion Running at 100.

Whats wrong with 01003B47 0BanditFaction  all ready has -100 to Player Faction. in my Game Smugglers all ready seem to activate  10F8AF91 which sets there aggression to 100

Could it  be fighting with 01F8AF90 which changes Aggression to -50.

Both cover Smugglers Quest.

The Skaal Test of Loyalty Quest on tha Water Stone The Horker Does not Take you  To Stahlman's Gorge He Takes you In Land.

Dont know if it is of Any Use the Full Files of When i Did The Clips of  (Clint,Ashlander) Bloodmoon Creatures it has Spriggan Ressurect Scripts,Spriggan Abilitys Spells and The Spriggan out of Morrowind Converted to Oblivion and Released as a Madders Resource.

All other Creatures that were Converted and not Finished. I Changed Most Directory Paths so they did  Not Run into Morroblivion Paths

Out of Work Blood_15_05_test Creatures2.esp.. The Horkers in this file has no Havock on Mesh..

I Ran Havock on Horkers in Mt Game and  Re_Directed all File Directorys and Paths Back to Suit Morroblivion  .Can Upload If Any Use.

Have been running in my game since i did Video Clips have had no Problems with them. I got my wife to run around in V059 Complete Installation  and Slaughter the whole Lot  Never Created any Errors.You can Slaughter Horkers Have Tusk,Walk on Dead Bodys not Through.

Around the Same Amount that was in Morrowind Done of Pictures Mostly,Only Covers H20 Horkers x Swimmer, Can Do the 1's on Lake they Are in the other file I Uploaded, at Least there Spawn Points Can do If Needed.

Thanks Idle the only Advantage of not know what i am Doing  slowly Learning.

The Spriggan in Blood_Test Might not Be Correct to The Texture you are After did not do it Till Later Just Checked on you Update Sorry.

I just Set this up and went to Solstheim, Place 4 Spriggans on Left Side of Fort Frostmoth, i checked in CSE same Result Black checked all Paths could not See anything Wrong But they Turn up in Game With Full Textures.

In Game Pic Just Taken.

Beautiful. Really cool to see Morrowind's version instead of Oblivion's, it adds that special touch :)

Cool to see that you're working on this. I think I have a theory for the faulty death animation. The same happens with the steam centurion sometimes when he doesn't fall over and just keeps standing there. It mostly happens in tight spots and uneven terrain. So my guess is, it might be caused by there not being enough space for the death animation to play. The body doesn't have a ragdoll model so it just stays the way it was before death.

You open Draugr _skeleton.nif in NifSkope, under   

spell\Animation\Attach .kf you Attach his Death Animation

he Drops Dead no Problems,Need some 1 who knows the workings  in the .nif to Check it Out..

Did  you find all the Ingredients you Need

A Wife's Retribution Quest every now and then  Sigvatr the Strong ends up this way when you Find Him 2 Boar's got the Better of Him.

After finding Sigvatr Dead you Take Pinetear back and Complete the Quest,,Quest Update  I can  Sleep in Kolfinna's bed at any Time, Problem you Can not Use the Bed ( You Cannot Sleep in an Owened Bed) Entry Needs Correcting or Set Owner Ship to Player on Completing the Quest,, Minor Issue

Found soething missing.. When you play the main quest to the the quest skaal test of strength, it appears that the journal doesn't update correctly and the shaman Korst, who should appear near the lake, just doesn't appear and stays in his hut, thus making the quest unbeatable

When you talk to Ulfgar the Unending to get fbmwBrodirGrove Quest 0101AF87, you find Book and Return accept his wish to Die,Kill him and when you walk near the Body Dialogue appears on the Screen, you walk out Side to Talk to Ulfgar Ghost, to Complete the Quest and Talk to the Stones,go Back in Side and go Near his Body,Dialogue Keeps Appearing on Screen. in Clip

If that mesh is with special effects, then it most likely isn't converted - automatic converter doesn't handle these.

The alternative would be to use an ordinary flame and enlarge it until it's the right size or to use a retextured flame. Another possible mesh would be fire\fireopenlarge.nif at around 5 times enlargement in the Oblivion.bsa. 

Also regarding meshes, there's another weird issue with ice caves: They're actually see through, so you can see through the meshes and see the insides of the other cave areas.

Btw did you get my PM?

Check their aggression and factions.

P.s I will use the original file structures for the resource from CoHR

Why? We have assets in BSA, so it's better to have unique folder structure.

qwertyasdfghThank you! I'm sure a lot of people would love to see Bloodmoon further debugged. There are several entries on Bloodmoon quests on our Bugtracker - maybe this'll be of some use.

The requested page "/project/issues/morroblivion?text=All&status=All&priorities=All&categories=All&component=Quests+-+Bloodmoon" could not be found.

I'd say do what you think is best - it is not necessary to copy everything exactly as it was in Morrowind, especially if it leads to issues.

I haven't played 'Blade of the Haunted' mod - what exactly is the conflict there?

I don't see why werewolves couldn't use doors, at least the unlocked ones.

I'd say don't worry about incompatibilities with non Morroblivion mods too much. It's its own entity as far as I'm concerned. Sure you can travel to Cyrodiil but that's the player's risk. Of course if it's not a lot of trouble you could tweak it to be compatible.  Compatibility is always nice but don't cut content because of it or spend an unnecessary ammount of time on it. And besides, many vanilla mods using IsPCSleeping aren't necessarily compatible. 

One idea would also be to change the time to usual "werewolf hours" when the player is sleeping and then have him transform normally and then play the Hircine video and update the quest.

Also, I can only recommend you play the Werewolf questline to get things right as close as possible, or at least take a very close look at the Morrowind CS at all times.

I remember from playing it a few months ago that NPCs didn't acknowledge you being a werewolf at all.

There are a lot of things coming into wether an NPC attacks the player. Faction relations, disposition, speechcraft, personality and Aggression. If the player and the other NPC are in the same faction and the NPC  and player have a very high personality value as well as a very low aggression then chances are the NPC won't attack by usual means even if you lower the disposition by 100. Perhaps lowering the player's personality and speechcraft values might also get them to attack you. But I doubt that it will work. The only way to be perfectly sure is by scripting. I'm pretty sure Morrowind even had it hardcoded.

And if you add the player to the Werewolf faction you'll have to change all other factions to hate the Werewolf faction not the other way around.
