Mournhold Clockmaker


A mod by Barabus & Nigedo


Requires Morrowind 1.6.1820 with both Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansion packs.


Version 1.0 - 5 January 2004


Original artwork created by Barabus

Original scripts created by Nigedo



Description


"Mournhold Clockmaker" adds a Breton artisan to Mournhold, who makes and sells a wide range of fine quality, chiming clocks.

All of the clocks feature high quality, original artwork and include individual combinations of original sound effects. They are fully animated through Morrowind Script and synchronized with game time.

The mod includes an optional quest which provides a lore-sensitive background for the existence of clocks in Morrowind.

To initiate the quest, speak with the clockmaker.



Notes


You may "turn off" the quest by entering the following command in the console window (press the ~ key to open this);

startscript mcm_quest_off

This will only work if you have not already started the quest.


You can "turn on" the quest section of the mod again, at any time, by entering the following command in the console window;

startscript mcm_quest_on



Installation


"Mournhold Clockmaker" is packaged according to the default Morrowind Data Files structure.

For the easiest installation, extract this mod directly to the Morrowind "Data Files" folder on your PC hard-drive.  The typical path to this folder is:

Cleanliness Statement


"Mournhold Clockmaker" is clean.  It has been cleaned with TESAME and TESTool and it contains no unnecessary changes to the game.

If you choose to clean this mod with TESTool (v1.0), you should select the option to use "Restricted dialog cleaning".

If you do not select this option, TESTool will remove essential changes to dialog, which will increase the likelihood of conflicts with other dialog intensive mods.



Potential Conflicts


As well as adding new content, "Mournhold Clockmaker" makes some changes to the original Morrowind game. It is possible for these changes to conflict with changes to the same parts of the game, made by other mods.

If you notice behaviour that suggests a mod conflict, compare the changes listed here with those made by other mods you use.

The following parts of the game are altered by this mod:

Cell - Mournhold, Craftsmen's Hall
