And if you got to be thoose knights your probably are high level so that decent armor are daedric,ebony,glass with much more AR and health but useless as imperial armor so you get pestered... This one fix that so the AR and health are around ebony,also added some missing imperial armor as such. Intented for higher level players.

Perhaps not entirely "lore correct" but not to much over the top either. It suits my personal taste, if someone else also thinks it´s cool,fine :-). Labelled "modders resource" and that is the intention,can be used as an replacer but that changes all iron armor in MW unadjusted so maybe som work in tescs is needed. It comes as separate packs(7z) icons,meshes,textures part 1-4 and pic and readme. This is a low resolution version and DXT1 ARGB (1 bit Alpha) are used. (could add an esp if demanded but didn´t think that was proper in this WIP-stage) -jaxawier- Thu, 5 Jun 2008 09:25:00 -0500 http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/Article81.html One year ago, I hadn't though of playing Morrowind again for years. Eight months ago, I'd never modded anything more complicated than a change in lighting for a house. But then... Well I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone here how intoxicating Vvardenfell and its long history of incredible mods can be. In my case, it spilled over to my regular gaming forums so that Morrowind threads were created left and right, leading to more people (re)discovering the game. In time newcomers showed an interest and started asking questions about the basic mechanics of the game we've long taken for granted: "What's enchanting?", "Why do I care about major skills?", etc... complaining about the lack of ingame help for those things. And so I started to write a few tutorial books. People liked them. So I put them on lecterns, and put a little house around them while I was at it. But then the house looked empty and so I added a little furniture, and more books, and a NPC to make the place lively. And then gave those guys a little dialogue too. And then... Needless to say, five versions and more than six months later, the Morrowind Public Library now boasts about 300 unique books from stock Morrowind but also other talented writers, my initial contribution now appearing almost as a footnote. It has also grown in other ways, adding new NPCs and creatures, learning about scripting and quests and journal entries, borrowing new meshes and textures from a variety of people and editing my own, and all those fancy things one can learn to do with the Construction Set. It is now, I believe, well worth of the pride I put in the result. But I'll have to let you all be the judges of that. :) In any event, it's been a really fun ride! If you pass through Pelagiad, come to the Library! The door is always open. Pick a book, have a seat and order a cup of tea... Who knows what you will discover today! Tue, 3 Jun 2008 18:23:52 -0500 http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/Article80.html Well,as somewhat "experienced" mw-player and a sucker for alchemy,there was always an area I thought missed something.And when both expansion-packs had adjustments for ingridients,I made one for MW.Feeled that the apparatus could do with a tiny upgrade too,and when my gamestyle made use of commercial potions as backup/partners I made thoose I use most lighter too. It means that ebony now weights 2kg instead of 10,bonemeal 0,1. As I use restore health,fatique,magicka,spell absorption and reflection and standard cure-potions thoose are much lighter now,standard cure poison weights in at 0,5 now. But most of all as I carry huge amounts of ingridients with me all the time beacause timing for leveling up in alchemy(intelligence) I usually made insane numbers of potions at the same time,so there is the need :-D Fri, 30 May 2008 18:52:16 -0500 http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/Article78.html Alright, first of all.... what dos this mod do. I prefer games to be as realistic and in depth as possible, which to my standards as a programmer, were not met in Oblivion(Though the game is still awesome!). One such way was farming. So I Made a seed version of every plant (except a couple like rice because they glitch, dunno why.) and added them as items to the game. You can find them or purchase them and then just equip the seed in the inventory and it will plant at your feet. The planting of flora has most likely been done before so I went a little bit farther, noticing the permanent plant life in the game I tried to make it more versatile. So after two days of nothing but dead ends and infernal glitches I Successfully added programming to all plants to grow in size over time, die of old age, and produce offspring nearby itself. As amazing as this is, it has proven to glitch randomly after resting or entering a new area. I don't know what causes this glitch so in case this became a pain I split the plug-in into two. The first is called Erick's planting mod, the other is titled Erick's planting and growing mod. Also if you have the auto save feature on, it seems to make the save before the glitch so, in worse case scenario you just end up restarting oblivion and go back to playing. Just so you know. Hope you enjoy, and send suggestions, I like to make improvements.

The problem is almost certainly because you are either running a personal firewall like Zone Alarm or some kind of download manager and that utility is blanking out the referral information that your browser would normally send. This will not work at elricm.com. We only allow (authorize) download links that originate from one of the subdomains of elricm.com. If your firewall hides this, the download link will fail and you will be redirected to the error page that you probably keep seeing. Try turning off your firewall to see if that is the cause. If you are using a download manager, make sure that it sends the correct referral information. But remember, if the referrer information is BLANK, you will not be able to download files from this site.

You can find that very popular mod right here: Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul 1.3 Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul is an ambitious project that seeks to redefine many of the gameplay and content aspects of the original Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Due to the magnitude of this work, a lot of smaller user-made modifications may not be a 100% compatible with it. Two versions of Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul--a "Full" and a "Lite" are included. The latter .esp file does not include a substantial number of modifications that appear in the former. This allows the user more freedom to customize their ES IV: Oblivion experience. Even so, not all user-made modifications will be compatible. The goal of this mod is to increase the overall challenge of the game, to increase the chances of the unexpected to happen, to reduce the flaws that hurt the "realism-factor" of the "leveled" system, to tweak item rarity and presence in the world, to add some new content and, lastly, to change some of the variables of the game system to balance its gameplay. Enjoy! Sat, 2 Sep 2006 09:14:40 -0500 http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/Article69.html While we always scanned files periodically that have been uploaded to elricm.com, there has always been the possibility that an infected file could be uploaded and go undetected for several days. Well now we are pleased to announce that elricm.com now supports real-time virus scanning of files that are submitted to our downloads database. Each time a mod is uploaded using our Add Download utility, the file is immediately scanned for viruses by the tool before it is published. If a virus is present, then the user is notified and the file is moved into quarantine. Our virus signatures are updated nightly, the entire downloads repository is scanned each week. Fri, 30 Jun 2006 21:26:08 -0500 http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/Article68.html For those on dial-up connections using a download manager (DM) please note the following. There are some download managers that will not work at elricm.com, particularly the one called “Free Download Manager” from www.freedownloadmanager.org. Among some useful features like the ability to resume downloads when connections are lost, download managers also claim to supposedly speed up downloads by opening up multiple connections. Hoping against hope, the idea is if one connection is good, then 5, 8, 10 or even 20 simultaneous connections must be terrific. Never mind that the modem user is limited to the dial-up connection speed anyway, still I suppose there’s a certain amount of feel good to it all. Ok, so rather than argue the considerate allocation of web server child threads to a single user with a download manager let me explain why some will work and some won’t.

Well, TEScreens is fairly new. As stated above, it's a place where people can upload, view, rate, and comment on screenshots that others have posted. It has a few advantages over some of the other image hosting services, too. For example, the filesizes we allow, which I suppose could be useful for someone wanting to keep their resolutions intact. Max. File Size: 2024 kb Max. Image Width: 1280 px Max. Image Height: 1024 px However, you must register before being able to upload, rate, or comment. You can still view all of the screenshots without a membership, though.

Some have already been released to ElricM. Some have only had limited release for the people who frequent the Elder Scrolls forum. Some have never been released. Some of the changes are major (for instance Rae the Crazy Lady of Ald'Ruhn was given a new body, several new items of clothes and actual ground meshes for everything except the boots). Other mods have only had a cosmetic change (Alea's Floating Emporium had some lanterns and a dresser placed in it). You will find screenshots and readme's in each of the zip files.

I took His hand when I heard His call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee. God wanted me now, He set me free. -author unknown - Dennis (a.k.a. Grumpy), we miss you. Your friends at elricm.com Sun, 19 Jun 2005 16:33:36 -0500
