Contruction Set Help

[Linkuya]

Any general tips you guys could give me, or link me the any great Morrowind Construction Set tutorials?
Also, is there a place where you can download the Morrowind character 3D models and edit them? Is there a (free) 3D model maker program that is compatible with Morrowind?
Is there?!

Also, how do you write original books in Morrowind?

First check out all the resources listed on the Wiki here: Modding

Wow, thanks!

I checked it out, and I'm still wondering about some stuff.
For example, when I try to make a book, I can't find the icon needed to animate the book. Is there a place I can download those NIF files that are in the game?

[Musicman247]

All the files for the game should be in the BSAs.

[Linkuya]

Where do I find them?
I looked..

[Musicman247]

If you have installed it via Steam all the BSAs are in the Data folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steam Apps\common\Morrowind\Data Files

[Linkuya]

My computer says 'can't open up unknown file'
Is there a program I can use to extract the files?

[Musicman247]

Yeah, there are links to BSA Managers in the first link I gave you.

[Linkuya]

Extracting the files won't effect my save game.. I'll still be able to play, right?

[Musicman247]

Yes. It's like opening a .zip file. The BSA will still exist, but you'll also have copies of the files inside the BSA.

[Linkuya]

AWESOME!

Thanks for your help~

Edit:
It didn't work..
'Could not find mwroot.txt'
'Not Run BSA pack.exe'

Edit2:
Anybody here?

[Musicman247]

We're here. No need to double post.

Did you try all of the BSA Managers that were listed?

If I might give you some advice: editing 3D models is very hard and it takes a lot of time to learn any 3D modeling software (you can't do this in the Construction Set, by the way). If you want mod Morrowind, I suggest you learn the basics of the Construction Set before you specialize in a certain area (like modeling). Read through "Morrowind Mod Maker's Manual" available for download here. It's comprehensive and really good for beginners. There are also a lot of good tutorials available on Tamriel Rebuilt's website.

Alright, I'll check the links out.
