I wrote a python script that does this, you can find it here.

Convert this to Morrowind's ini file format.

Here's mine:Ĭontent=Solstheim Tomb of The Snow Prince.esmĬontent=PortsOfVvardenfellV1.6-TR_Travels-TOTSP-Ald-ruhn-Vivec-City.espĬontent=Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched.ESPĬontent=Clean_DA_Sobitur_Facility_Clean.ESPĬontent=Clean_DA_Sobitur_Repurposed_1.ESPĬontent=The Rise of the Tribe Unmourned.espĬontent=Vurt's Grazelands Unique Trees.ESPĬontent=RR_Telvanni_Lighthouse_Tel Vos_Eng.ESPĬontent=RR_Telvanni_Lighthouse_Tel Branora_Eng.ESP

Create a fake cfg file with just the plugins you need, each one per line with content= just like in a real openmw.cfg file.

But something like Trackless Grazelands does affect the landscape in a way that affects groundcover (you'd have conspicuous missing groundcover where the roads used to be).

For example, Tamriel Rebuilt might come up as containing LAND records, but nothing on this site's mod lists change those outside of it, so there's no need to recreate the groundcover.

This step requires you to know a bit about the mod you're looking at, but most times it should be obvious if you should include a mod or not.

Of the results obtained from the previous step, examine each to determine which need to be included for the purpose of generating grass.

Tes3cmd dump -list '$p' 2>/dev/null | grep -aq LAND and echo '$p' This is the fish shell snippet I used for finding them in my own setup:įor p in (find $HOME/games/openmw/Mods -type f -iname '*.esp')

Using the recommended folder structure from this website makes it somewhat easy to do with some shell scripting.

Find all plugins that contain LAND records:.

Make sure you've got a functional install of TES3CMD.

Make sure you've got a functional install of vanilla Morrowind available.

It is possible to generate custom groundcover for your load order, but it is not a trivial process.īelow I will describe the process I used to create the custom groundcover plugins I provide for this website's mod lists.

You'll end up with missing or floating groundcover items. The nature of how MGE:XE groundcover (also known as 'legacy groundcover') works creates problems when you use any mod which changes the landscape.
