Worth its Weight: Gold Weight via MWSE
Version 1.0
By JaceyS
====Requirements====
- Morrowind
- Tribunal
- Bloodmoon
- MGE XE 0.10.1
- MWSE 2.1+
This mod requires a recent nightly build of MWSE. Please be sure to run the mwse-update.exe before playing this mod.
====Description====
By implementing gold weight using MWSE Lua, this mod works reliably without the need for dummy items or burden spell effects. It is also able to show the weight of a stack of gold in the tooltip.
===Configuration===
This mod uses the MCM functionality of MWSE to present two configuration options.
Tooltip: Toggle the display of the weight of a stack of gold in the tooltip. Default: On
Gold Weight: How much a single coin weighs. Default: 0.02, which is 50 gold to a pound (or whatever the weight unit is)
===Permissions===
You may use the scripting and writing in this mod for any purpose you wish, just give me credit. You have my permission to re-upload this mod in the event that I do not respond to contact on Discord at JaceyS#5136 for a period of 1 week or more. You can send me direct messages if you become a member of the Morrowind Modding Community server.
===Compatibility===
This mod should not be used with other mods that add weight to gold using any method.
If you discover mod incompatibilities, please report them to me on Nexus or at JaceyS#5136 on Discord.
===Issues===
The mod runs a check every frame, which is not ideal from a performance perspective. It had no effect on FPS in my testing, but may cause issues under some circumstances. This is currently unavoidable, due to the lack of an event trigger for when the player's inventory changes.
The mod adds and removes an invisible item to the player's inventory within the space of one frame, which is neccessary to update the encumbrance bar. In my testing this caused no issues, but it is not ideal.
Negative values put into the Gold Weight field are corrected to positive, but I am sure you could find some other way to break it if you put your mind to it. It should work for reasonable (and most unreasonable) values.
===Installation & Removal===
Installation:
Unpack the archive file such that the top level contents are in your Morrowind\Data Files folder. There is no esp file to activate.
You can load a save file with gold in the inventory with no problems. If converting from another gold weight mod, make sure to follow that mod's instructions for removal.
Removal:
Refer to the files included in the archive file to find what to delete. Also delete Morrowind\Data Files\MWSE\config\WorthItsWeight.json.
No special behavior is required to remove this mod from your save, as the gold weight is removed from your character just before you save, and then returned afterwards, or after you load.
