first off thank you creating this mod! I was wondering if a patch could be made for 3rd-Person Crosshair so it is visible in 3rd person view I mostly play in that it would be epic! I don't even know if it's possible but no mater I'm thankful for what we have here anyway.
You can actually modify the mod yourself relatively easily:
Once the mod is installed, there should be a folder named "ownership-indicator" inside "mods" inside "MSWE" inside "Data Files" inside your Morrowind installation directory. If you use a mod managing program, the mod might instead have it's own (probably zipped) folder wherever the manager stores mods; in this case, "Data Files" should be inside that folder (which, if zipped, you might have to re-zip when you're done).
Inside "ownership-indicator" is a file called "main.lua" which can be edited using notepad or a similar program.
Around halfway through the document (line 134 to be exact, I case your text editor displays line numbers) are three lines:
if tes3.mobilePlayer.is3rdPerson then crosshair.main.visible = false end
As you can probably figure, this is the code that removes the crosshair from 3rd person view. Comment out the code by placing "--" in front of all three lines:
--if tes3.mobilePlayer.is3rdPerson then --crosshair.main.visible = false --end
This part of the code will now be ignored, giving you a 3rd person crosshair (you could also simply delete the above lines from the code, but commenting stuff out makes it easier to revert the changes if a mistake is made).
Keep in mind that this will also display the normal crosshair in 3rd person; unless you like walking around with a constant target on the back of your character's head, you should probably turn on the "autohide" option in the mod configuration menu.
Do also note that the resulting 3rd person crosshair will be somewhat missaligned if you use mods that alter the 3rd person camera angle, such as the over-the-shoulder option in the Morrowind Code Patch.
Suddenly doesn't work on owned beds anymore. Got a bounty on my head. :(
Edit: Well, not beds but hammocks actually.
Edit2: Well, I fixed it myself:
Change: if target.object.objectType == tes3.objectType.activator and not ( string.find(target.object.name, '[Bb]ed') or string.find(target.object.name, '[Ss]leep') )to: if target.object.objectType == tes3.objectType.activator and not ( string.find(target.object.name, '[Bb]ed') or string.find(target.object.name, '[Ss]leep') or string.find(target.object.name, '[Hh]ammock') )and you're good to go...
Well, it seems I fixed another bug. Not so sure about this one though. No guarantees!
The book 'The Doors of the Spirits' was treated wrongly. Here's what I did:
Change: if target.object.objectType == tes3.objectType.door or string.find(target.object.name, '[Dd]oor')to: if target.object.objectType == tes3.objectType.door or string.find(target.object.name, '[Dd]oor') and not string.find(target.object.name, '[Dd]oors') For me this seems to work.
Here's an odd quirk. When I start a new game with this enabled I have no crosshair at all while on the ship, all the way to Socucius' office, where it reappears once I enter. Jiub and guards are all still highlighted as though the crosshair is active, it's just not visible. Took a while to track it to this, systematically disabling ui-related and MWSE mods. A bit disorienting but a very minor bug. Otherwise love the customization possibilities of this; was even inspired to make a cool icon for it.
Thanks for your reply. I'm sure it has nothing to do with MGE's ui tweaks, I disabled those and re-activated my crosshair with the in-game options pretty much immediately since your mod does this and more. I've also double-checked I have the latest script-extender build. This is on a pretty heavily modded install at this point though, so I suspect weird interactions will be the norm. For what it's worth I'll list my active plugins
I also have a number of MWSE interface mods like enhanced security and name generator so I'll keep trying to figure out what is conflicting with your mod and let you know if I do.
I have the same thing. I figured it is because of the "Small Skyrim Crosshair" mod I'm also using. They work fine together, the only issue is this small walk to the Census office.
While reading elsewhere on another mod there is some kind of triggered status, either on the character capability or on the status of all objects, that changes once you get into the office, or at some moment in the office. So depending on scripting checks done when ownership is read from objects, that might be what's causing the issue.
That is true but this is different and I would say a bit more visual. The MCP option puts the word "Owned" on the tooltip for the item you are looking at while this mod either immediately changes the cursor to a red hand or turns the regular cursor red for a nice little immediate visual that the item is owned.
I will use this mod + the MCP option....i wonder what would hapen to the "owner: *insert any guild here and rank). EDIT: the "owner: *guild anme,rank* is still present lol.
I didn't think I'd ever need this, but with all the tooltips mods now the "Owned" from mcp really tends to gets buried. When I got myself kicked out of the Mages Guild by accident for the first time in years, this mod that I initially dismissed suddenly became a lot more appealing. Possibly essential. Thank you for making it.

Souls not lost as I, the veil of ignorance clouds you only because it loves you.
Do please never lose faith in it, do not test it.
