i have just installed bloodmoon and keep getting error msgs about chunk size and additional weather chances. then my game crashes. i have reinstalled bloodmoon a million times, downloaded the patch, tried reinstalling again and nothing works!

can anyone tell me how to fix it??

i had that kind a error but try to install all over again and then first install Tribunal and then Bloodmoon

GRTX 159357

i installed tribunal a long time ago so i don't think that is the issue.

are you saying i should uninstall morrowind completely and reinstall all 3 of them again?
.... if you are we may have a problem - i don't know how to back up saved games and mods and all of that stuff

In what order did you install the patches?

patches plural? only one patch, from elderscrolls.com

BLOODMOON PATCH v1.6.1820
Bloodmoon_v1.6.1820.zip (302 KB) 07/09/2003
This patch is for the North American edition.

...And in what data file do these errors occur?

ok i'm really not a hugely technical computer type person , are you wanting the error messages?

Yes. I want the unabridged contents of Warnings.txt.

ok

Chunk size 10 too big in chunk WEAT_ID in form REGN_ID
Max size is 8, data truncated to "
".

Region 'Felsaad Coast Region' Weather Chances do not total 100 percent.

Region 'Moesring Mountains Region' Weather Chances do not total 100 percent.

Region 'Isinfier Plains Region' Weather Chances do not total 100 percent.

Chunk size 10 too big in chunk WEAT_ID in form REGN_ID
Max size is 8, data truncated to "#".

The first error msg is repeated a few times between the others.

Retrieve the version number and MD5 Digest of Morrowind.exe.

uh... i installed the US version of the patch last night and still no joy... the file version is 1.6.0.1820 << which is exactly the same as the patch number :cry:

and i don't know what the md5 digest of morrowind.exe is or where to find it...

Have you ever considered following the link that I've given for MD5 digest?

ok im dumb but im not that dumb!
i downloaded the link but i didn't realise it would be specific to my game.
... ok maybe i am that dumb

is that what you're after? (i can see you banging your head against the desk!)

Drag Morrowind.exe onto the MD5 hash executable, and then post the output from that.

oops

...Okay, so your executable is identical in its contents to the executable from a working North American 1.6 installation. I think it's safe to say that the problem doesn't lie there.

Try just giving in and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, make a post to the official forums -- this may be a common problem. If you don't get a response there, it may be that you'll need to hexedit portions of Bloodmoon.esm to get rid of the snow (and thus, the error).

reinstalling bloodmoon (i've already done this numerous times) or uninstalling and reinstalling morrowind and tribunal as well?

do you think this could be a problem with some of the mods i'm using?

Reinstall Morrowind as a whole. And no, this can't be a problem regarding plugins -- the problem (as far as I can tell) is that, although your executable is perfectly fine, the engine refuses to recognize the new weather types introduced with Bloodmoon (namely, snow and blizzard).

do i have to uninstall morrowind before reinstalling? and if so, do i only need to backup the saves folder so as not to lose my games?

Some n00btard has left very "detailed" (read: walks you through how to delete a file) instructions on how to cleanly reinstall Morrowind that he obviously ripped from Bethesda -- either that, or he refers to himself as "we" and "the technical support staff" to make himself feel important.

Either way, I suggest that you follow them.

*laugh* ok i'll do that.
thank you SO much for your patience/help!!!!!!

*laughs maniaclly* i fixed it!!!!!!!!! :w00t:

for anyone who is reading this... uninstalled morrowind plus expansions. reinstalled morrowind plus expansions. now its all good!

I know this is an extremely old thread but the reason he got that error was most likely because he may have installed two patches and not just one.

In one of my more brilliant moments I installed bloodmoon patch before tribunal. For some odd reason I thought that they played out that way in the story line. I got that entire error repeated over and over during installation until I applied the patches in the correct order of tribunal then bloodmoon.

All is good and I can get lost in my game again.....lol.

have you gone to the data files yet in the mainmenu were it says play if haven't go there and cilk on it and prese play
