READ THIS FIRST!

*****************************************************************

1. If you plan on playing Bloodmoon and you've installed Tribunal

AFTER installing Bloodmoon, you must re-install Bloodmoon. Installing
Bloodmoon will update your executables so that you can play Bloodmoon.
The executable that Tribunal installs will NOT work with Bloodmoon.

2. Playing without the bloodmoon.esm (and/or tribunal.esm) loaded

will prevent you from using your sorted journal functionality and
certain quests using the PlayGroup script function will not work
properly. It is advised that after installing this patch, you
ALWAYS play with the bloodmoon.esm (and/or tribunal.esm) loaded (this is the
default
setting).

*****************************************************************

ATI Radeon

IMPORTANT: IF MORROWIND FREQUENTLY CRASHES ON YOU OR YOU GET ABNORMAL SOUND AND
LONG PAUSES, IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT YOUR SOUND CARD IS NOT COMPLETELY DIRECTX 8.1
COMPATIBLE. SEE BELOW.

SOUND
1. If your game is crashing or you get sound problems, make sure to update the
drivers for your sound card. You can also solve this by lowering the Hardware
Acceleration on your card.

Do this by going to Windows, selecting "Control Panel", "Multimedia", "Playback

Advanced Properties", "Performance"

Set the Hardware acceleration to either "None" or the line next to "None".

Sound cards that need to have this done include most ESS Technologies and Cirrus
Logic (Crystal Audio) sound cards.

VIDEO
1. Regardless of your video card, make sure to download the latest drivers from
your manufacturer.

2. With Bloodmoon, some systems may experience a stutter in framerate in certain

interior areas. Lowering your Maximum FPS in the morrowind.ini file can help
alleviate this problem. To do this, go to your morrowind.ini file
and change Max FPS=240 to Max FPS=50.

3. GeForce2
On some systems with an NVIDIA Geforce2, interior areas of the game may experience
a stutter in framerate, causing you to lurch forward quickly. Several things can
alleviate this. Try switching resolutions, playing 3rd person view, or having your
weapon or magic active. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your video
card.

4. ATI
On machines with ATI video cards, there are strange graphical glitches where random
geometry are 'fogged' different amounts than normal. Reducing the view distance
slider to slightly below maximum may fix this issue.

OPERATING SYSTEMS
1. Windows 2000
Make sure you have Service Pack 2 installed. Without this, you will experience
abnormally long load and exit times in Morrowind and the Construction Set.

2. Must use 32 True Color mode to operate game.

INPUT
1. ALT+TAB may cause some game instability with some hardware configurations.

INSTALLATION
1. Running the Repair option in the uninstaller will prevent you from uninstalling
Morrowind. If you do run the Repair option by mistake, re-installing Morrowind will
fix the uninstall problem.

*****************************************************************

3. PERFORMANCE TUNING

*****************************************************************

There are several things you can do to increase game performance.

1. Slide Real Time shadows all the way off.

On certain machines, shadows become the biggest speed hit.

2. Slide the view distance all the way down.

The farther you can see, the slower the game will run.

3. Slide AI distance to Near.

Lowers the range at which creature and NPC AI will process.

4. Turn off music

The music is mp3 format and can eat up CPU time.

5. Turn off pixel shaders if you have them on.

The reflections cause performance to degrade.

6. Lower the game resolution.

The game runs faster at 640x480 and 800x600.

*****************************************************************

4. THE CONSOLE
*****************************************************************

You can activate the console by pressing ~ key (tilde).

Complete console commands can be found in the TES Construction Set help file.

report on
the Sixth House, but on return to Caius Cosades, he does not recognize that the

during a House Redoran quest, preventing the questgiver from recognizing quest
completion and blocking advancement

the topic 'watched by Ordinators', which gives the player the code word 'amaya'.

Fixed an exceptional case where the player is not advanced to Archmage after
killing Archmage Trebonius.

the end of her quest.

NOTE ABOUT LOADING ALL THREE MASTER FILES AT ONCE IN CONSTRUCTION SET
*********************************************************************
These errors do NOT affect the game. This message is strictly for anyone
working on plugins in the Construction Set.

When loading all three master files
dialogue warnings will appear. None
The Construction Set believes there
Bloodmoon master files are designed
master file -- and not each other.
in the Construction Set, several
of these errors affects gameplay.
are errors because the Tribunal and
to only be dependent on the Morrowind

The Tribunal and Bloodmoon dialogue stacks generate an error message

because they only expect the Morrowind dialogue stack to exist, and
not dialogue from the other master file. The system does compensate
and all the dialogue is in the correct order so quests still work
correctly, but the error messages will continue to appear.
The workaround to get rid of the error messages is to add the following
line to your morrowind.ini file:

AllowYesToAll=1

When the error messages appear, click on CANCEL and you will only have
to see the first error message. If you are a modder who is adding new
dialogue, you can still look at your warnings.txt to debug your dialogue
and look for issues.

Loading Tribunal, Bloodmoon and Morrowind ESM master files all at once will result
in
several warnings.txt error messages - these warnings can be ignored.

If you plan on playing Bloodmoon and you've installed Tribunal AFTER installing
Bloodmoon,
you must re-install Bloodmoon.

*****************************************************************

5. TRIBUNAL VERSION NOTES

*****************************************************************

display saves that do not match the current language.

attributes. [PCs with skills reduced by the 'Fury' weapon can visit Imperial Altars
and Temple Shrines to restore their damaged skills.]

location.

Running and jumping through a teleport door no longer damages player when they land
on the other side.

Fixed a bug involving a crash when mousing over your Faction while in menu mode.

The weapon "Fury" now has a "Drain Skill" effect instead of a "Damage Skill"
effect.

Imperial Altars and Temple Shrines now restore damaged skills as well as
attributes. [PCs with skills reduced by the 'Fury' weapon can visit Imperial Altars
and Temple Shrines to restore their damaged skills.]

The Bound Cuirass can no longer be dropped.

Fixed a bug involving a container disappearing if you had its contents menu open
and then loaded a save game that would place you in the same room as the container.

Objects dropped, while you are swimming with no objects beneath you, will no longer
disappear to the center of the world.

Stacks of repair objects will now show their quantity when moused over in the
world.

You will no longer be able to right click out of the Silt Strider travel menu.
This was causing a bug that left the travel menu open after all other menus had
been closed.

Fixed a bug that would allow you to place and remove alchemy objects multiple times
in the alchemy menu and create copies of this object in your inventory.

Fixed a bug that was deleting alchemy objects if you had a container open at the
same time you had the alchemy menu open. If both menus contained the same object,
the object was being removed from the world. Opening an alchemy menu will now
close any open container menus.

Fixed a crash bug involving the creation of new leveled creatures in a plug-in. If
you saved your game with a new leveled creature in view from a custom plug-in, then
chose to load your save without the plug-in, you would crash. Now if you load this
save game you will no longer crash.
Fixed a bug involving mouse buttons not responding in menu mode.

Fixed the resurrect function to no longer resurrect disabled NPC's or creatures.

Fixed a small memory leak when summoning bound items.

Items stuck on your mouse pointer will no longer disappear if you click on a spell
or magic item in the magic menu.

Ingredients in Alchemy menu are sorted alphabetically by name, not ID.

Objects in inventory and containers are now sorted alphabetically.

Quest Fixes
*******************************
Fixed a problem in an alternate path of the main quest involving an NPC named
Addhiranhir.

Fixed a bug dealing with the killing of Bolvyn Venim. Now if he is slain [except
in a proper duel], an 'Essential NPC Killed' message warns the player he has broken
the main quest.

Fixed a bug dealing with entering Sul-Matuul's yurt without permission before
beginning his part of the main quest. This made him hostile, preventing
advancement in the main quest. Now when Zabamund first tells the PC to speak to
Sul-Matuul, a hostile Sul-Matuul is reset to not be hostile.

Fixed a bug in script VivecArenaScript for NPCs transported to fight duels in the
Arena which occasionally caused the NPC to appear below the Arena, breaking the
duels and quests. Also added a check and fix to restore NPCs in saved games where
dueling NPCs had fallen through the Arena floor and disappeared.

Fixed a bug concerning the killing of important NPC's and creatures to the building
of your stronghold in House Hlaalu. You should now receive a message saying you
can no longer continue with your stronghold if you kill someone important to this
quest line.

Completing the "Ice Blade of the Monarch" out of sequence for the Imperial Cult as
a freeform activity no longer causes the player to lose the earlier 'Ring in
Darkness' and "Boots of the Apostle' quests in the faction sequence.

Improved directions to the cavern of Milk in dialog and journal for the Mad Lord of
Milk quest.

Fixed a bug when Dram Bero's champion is slain, but not slain in an Arena duel,
Dram Bero's greeting falsely implied that Dram Bero now had given his support for
the PC on Hlaalu council. Now the greeting accurately indicates Dram Bero's anger,
and other dialog topics indicate that Dram Bero will not support the PC for House
Hlaalu council.

Residents of Sadrith Mora will now acknowledge when the PC has ended the Gateway
hauntings.

Added condition 'Journal a2_3_corpruscure 50' to 'Dwemer piece' topic. Prevents

giving misc_dwrv_artifact50 before quest has begun, preventing Caius from skipping
quests.

Fixed a bug in Vedam Dren's dialogue options that was checking a journal without
checking the player's faction. It allowed the non-Hlaalu player to be raised in
rank in House Hlaalu by killing Orvis Dren, making the player a member of two of
the Great Houses.

Fixed a bug in a Morag Tong quest that was causing Darys Adram to give quest
dialogue to players not currently completing the quest.

Fixed a bug that allowed the VA_VampAmulet quest in the Quarra Vampire questline to
be restarted after completion.

Added a condition to the Morag Tong greeting the player receives from faction
members upon becoming Grandmaster. Because a Main Quest character was in the
faction, she was not using her appropriate Main Quest greetings, stopping the Main
Quest.

VERSION 1.1.0605
*******************************

A health Bar for NPCs and creatures has been added for when you are in combat. An

out if you stop attacking. It will also update to a different creature or NPC's
health if you switch targets in the middle of combat.

Added Difficulty slider to Preference menu under Options. The Difficulty slider
has 200 different settings that will either increase the amount of damage you deal
and receive or reduce the amount of damage you deal or receive, depending on where
you set the slider.

The user can now load multiple plug-ins without losing references when both plug-
ins affect the same cell. This means that if you have 2 or more plug-ins that add
or remove references from, for example, Fort Moonmoth, you will be able to keep all
of the additions or removals from all the loaded plug-ins.

Added a "DirectX Diagnostic" button in the Morrowind Launcher that allows you to
run the DirectX Diagnostic tool directly from our interface. This can be reached
in the Morrowind launcher. Click on Technical Support in the launcher and you will
see a DirectX Diagnostic button that will run this handy tool. The DirectX
Diagnostic tool is very helpful for problem shooting any technical problems you may
be having with the game.

Added a sound quality button to the Options menu. The two available choices are
Hardware Acceleration and Software Mode. Those of you that are still experiencing
sound problems should set this Software Mode.

to add bonuses to you permanently.

followers and they could lag behind excessively.

crimes, and guards would fail to respond.

them with a projectile weapon.

Fixed a bug concerning trying to equip multiple repair items during combat would
cause a crash.
