there are others but i don't have them handy at the moment.

and this is a good link to free programs for retexturing:

download NifTexture it's the easiest. most people use photoshop or paintshop but if you don't have the money GIMP is comparable and it's free, it also supports dds with a plugin.

thanks kevin.

it asks for me to get the meshes from the cd, and i've tried, but i don't know how, could somebody please tell me?

if you bought morrowind than you most likly got a CD with it called "TES constuction set CD" that has the meshes you want on it. if you don't have the CD then tough chickens

Simply Right click on the CD in the 'My Computer' Folder.
Click Explore and continue to drag and drop all the folders from the CD into your Morrowind data file.

The posts I saw before this were good, but if I was a clueless noob, I'd be totally lost with them. So for any lurkers out there still confused, here goes my shot at this:

1. Open 'My Computer'
2. Find the 'TES Construction Set' CD (or Bloodmoon or Tribunal CDs for content from the expansions). Open it.
3. Open the 'Data Files' folder
4. Now, it branches depending on what you're looking for.
-if you're modifying a model: Open the 'Meshes' folder, find the appropriate folder for the model (see below for scheme)
-if you're modifying an image to go in a book or scroll, look in the 'BookArt' folder
-if you're modifying the image of an item in your inventory, look in the 'Icon' folder (same scheme as meshes folder)
-if you're modifying a texture from a model, a birthsign, the image from a class level-up screen, water, or the shimmery effect on magic items, look in the 'Textures' folder

for meshes and icons, here's the hierarchy scheme

a- Armor
b- Body Parts
c- Clothing
d- Doors
e- Magic Effects
f- Furnishings (furniture, tapestries, etc
i- Interiors
l- Lighting
m- Miscellaneous
n- INgredients
o- COntainers
r- CReatures
w- Weapons
x- EXteriors

If I totally confused anyone, just say so and someone'll clarify

Wow, for all that typing, somehow I don't think I was any more help than the others were tongue.gif
