I just started using the TES (i've had it for 2 years and havent bothered to try and make my own mods) so i could use sum help, i do know how to open data files and i know i need to open the Morrowind Main file, but nothing is in the open area, so i cant do anything (though i have opened a dile once so it ws there before) why isnt it there?

Also i dont know how to move items up and down, how do i do that? i've made like an island before but the door was 10 feet above the area where its supposed to be...

Okay you may want to view some controls that help you PAN the camra around in the Cell View window, the main window you use to edit your world, To pan your camra use...
HOLD down SPACE to pan it left and right, or on the X and Y axis
HOLD down Z to only pan the Camra up and down, or Pan only on the Z axis
HOLD down Shift to look around and get a better view of things.
T will position the camra over a selected object.

Okay now to move stuff...
If you want to move stuff you need to...
HOLD Z to move the object on the Z axis, (Up and Down)
HOLD X to Move the object on the X axis, (Either left or right only)
HOLD Y to move the object on the y axis, (Either left or right only)
Now you can drag your object by not having to hold X or Y down, but to move it Up and Down, Hold Z. To Set and object on a serface or anther object, simply select the object and press F. That will drop the object on what ever its over. WARNING! DO NOT press F if there is nothing under it but plain sky. It will fall until it can't fall anymore.

There. That should give you a kick start for TES CS
Good Luck

THX man! i'm gonna try this out right now!

o and also, i cant open any data files, i put in the cd for the TES and its still not loading anything, i might have forgotin sumthing, why is it doing this?

Are you accually opening them from TES:CS or are you double clicking the datafiles? Because double cliking or manually opening the won't work. You have to run TES:CS, at the top menu bar got o "File" then "new". Once you do this it will ask you what main Master Files you want to base your plug-in off of. Make sure "Morrowind" is checked and then any other pulg-ins you want to base your new plug-in off of. It's that easy, I hope it helps!

Why the **** would i double click on the data file outside of the TES:CS? i've never done that (knowing that it didnt work), i have opened a data file before (a long time ago, 1.5 years) but i've been going to "open" so thats probubly the problem. Anyways thx for the help guys.

hey, there isnt a New in the file tab.... if there isnt then how the **** do i open the file?? It says this under file:

Data Files...
Save
Combine Loaded Plugins
Preferences...
Import Data >
Export Data >
Compare Dialogue Conditions
Exit

which button do i press cuz when i press "Data Files" this is what it shows up as:

if you click data files you should get a list of all the mods and the master files you installed.

it seems the CS isnt looking in the right place try reinstaling the TES:CS

ok, so if i reinstall it, it should work?cuz my editors worked before.... well that was before when i had a dif comp...
o well i'll reinstall it. O btw will it delete all the data files i dled?

if you only reinstall the CS it wont change anything in the game itself
so your plugins should be safe

Yay it worked! I'm making a mod right now! it looks so cool... but the problem is i dont know how to make it so guys that are liek bandits (u know they attack u when they see u) walk towards the guard guys and the guards walk towards them so they can start fighting and all, and also i dont know how to make it so when u talk to a guy u have the option to travel, can any1 help me with that?

i dont know exactly but you could look at the disposition of the guards towards animals because they attack them on sight.

ok, thx but i still dont know how to give the option to travel from a NPC. I want the person to go from ebonheart to the island...
