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
