Ok. When you open the new object (such as clothing) window, the part about adding art file and inventory file...........HOW DO YOU USE ALREADY MADE ONES? Like the ones that came for the game.

PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

select them from the data meshes dir in the morrowind CS cd (the other one your not prompted to put into the cd drive during install) this is the use for.

the data dir on that cd is esentualy the BSA file extracted and left in order so when you pick a file from there it also points to the bsa file that was installed thus you dont need to copy any of these files over as it already has access to them you just cant look at them with any degree of comfort the CSCD has it set out all nice for you and that should be that (also the expansions also have all there bsa files expanded for you in the same maner on the one cd)

hope this helped or made sence

THANKS that helped a lot

there's also an easier way to make new items out of existing ones. just pull up the clothing window of the item you want (ex. common_shirt_01), then just change the ID and then do whatever you want to it. once you click OK it'll tell you that you've changed the object ID and ask you if you want to create a new item. just say OK, and your new item will be on the list.
of course, this won't work if you want to make a piece of armor that looks like a shirt or something!
