Concise List of WIPS
      #2891342 - 08/05/04 05:19 PM

I took my Original List of WIPs and edited out everything other than the actual list.
Please Post your own additions, including descriptions of those WIPs that don't have them.
Raven Rock Mod which is trying to extend upoun the original idea. (more details on the thread.
Mournhold Clockmaker I think the name tells you what this mod is about.
Solstheim Castle: This is basically going to be a house mod for Solstheim.
Firemoth: The Aftermath: adds a real fort where the bethesda plugin was, following the completion of the Bethesda quest.
Bjornholm: adds a new continent to quest and explore on.
Black Market: adds a black market, see webpage for details. (Has a semi-qorkable v released now.)
Bards of Vvardenfell: allows the pc to play songs in taverns and inns.
Great House Hlaalu Expanded - Adds a LOT of more quests
swrdphantom's WIP.
hasn't decided on a name yet, so I don't know what to call it.
Garoloth's Shack
A combination mod with low-level new character startup helps - Uber cheating helps for those days when nothing else will do - Mystery stories to solve - Hidden treasure to find - Interesting new NPCs and quests, including companionable NPCs and kids (in cooperation with Emma) - Much more in-depth NPC characters, personalities, interaction, and background stories.
All of this is tied together by common threads of circumstance, location and history.
Merrye Olde England A new landmass which will be a microcausm of old England in selectively compressed form. This is presently still in the conceptual and research stage.
Sea of Solstheim
Wizards' Islands
the new katana mod
Following Attackers: If you can't figure it out this adds attackers that will follow you through doors (like going from an interior to an exterior)
Guards At The Gate & Headstart: Two different mods, one lets you start as Nerevarine, if you don't want to play through main quest again, the other adds guards to Ghost Gate.
old The Underground Thread and new The Underground Thread and OMG there's another thread: It's a vamp mod, that's all I know, check it out if you care more than I do.
Gauntlets, Bracers and Pauldrons II: I think this is a fix for what this guy thought was a bug, not really sure, again check it out if you care more than I do.
Goblin WIP: adds Goblins as a playable race.
Moon Textures: adds, you guessed it, moons.
Leveling Birthsigns: The name says it all, in this mod, as you lvl you gain attributes and abilities because of your class and/or your birthsign.
Romance! Thread: Will add 100+ npcs for the pc to have a relationship with. Romance! Homepage
Merchant Mod: Unfortuantely, I'm having trouble finding a description of this mod, but the people following it seem to like it, and the screenshots are good, if you have time, run a search.
NEW ULTIMA Thread: A total rework of Morrowind, apparently this guy really like Ultima 7, and wanted to make an improved Ultima. Ultima Mod Homepage
Forced Roleplaying: Interesting idea, this modder takes heroes and such from games and tv shows and creates items that can't be removed without console commands to make a character similar to the hero. Please note, he seems to do this on request, so if you have a hero you would like, mention it.
Atrox's Legacy: a house mod, with new items.
Morrowind Homesteads: A large housing mod, adds purchasable homes to all parts of Morrowind.
energy #1: retextures parts of Morrowind, if you know more about making textures than I do you will probably understand this.
Beautiful Ivory Palace: a house mod, nice screen shots.
Fallaran: Fallen City: I don't know what this is, that blue on black text hurt my eyes too much for me to care, if you want to find out .
Egyptian tileset kinda-sorta: shannon's name not mine (shannon_ also made the Ivory Palace.), anyway, another name says it all type thing, it's a tileset.
Red Skulls I can't tell what this WIP is about, it's supposed to be playable, dl it and post if you can figure out what's up.

Annastia, Chapters 1-3

DeathTrap Dungeon, City of Thieves (both complete) and currently working on third chapter, Warlock of Firetop Mountain

DeathTrap and firetop are dungeon crawls with a difference, City of Thieves is, to use the blurb, an epic quest adding the huge desert city of Port Blacksand, a den of thieves, murderes, pirates and assassins.

My current WIP is Wayfarer's Rest.
The mod allows the player to own and profit from an inn, which is obtained through a quest. The quest is pretty much done now, nd I'm just working on fixing a few things that aren't working properly just yet (mainly the profit system).

The thread I've linked to above also has some screenshots posted, though I haven't added any new ones in awhile.

When I release this mod, I'll probably also release a quest walkthrough, in light of the number of emails I've received where people got stuck on the quest in Darkshroud Keep.

Honestly this seems like wasted effort. A WIP is vaporware untill it's released. Even seemingly solid WIPs from well-known modders frequently dry up. And how many great mods made it to Alpha or Beta and no further? Better to let the modders (the only ones who really know how it's going) provide their own announcements when they feel they have something to say. Just my 2 cents...

And now a suggestion, since there's a make-a-list craze going around lately -

How about a comprehensive list of mod conflicts along with a detailed explanation of how to properly combine mods in order to avoid dialogue and leveled list conflicts? With a paragraph or two on load-order? Why it matters, etc? And some reccomended utilities for finding and fixing problems?

Now that would warrant a bookmark.

This may be true, but this thread seems more of a way to let folks who may not frequent the forums often to catch up on what they may have overlooked. There's not much effort involved in making this list; all the work is done by the modders themselves. I don't see much harm in it, and I do see some potential good.

I enjoyed reading through this thread and catching up on projects I may have missed. It's nice to see what my fellow modders are up to.


Here's my work in progress.

Working Late

Here's my one and only massive wip:

Dragons Breech

Actually, sense I've released Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 already, does that make me rate higher then Vaporware?

Anyhow, Alpha 3 should be ready to boogy in about 6-7 months.

Here's my WIPs:

Isle of Thumzand: Nerevarine's Castle: Gives a huge castle with quests to player once the main quest in Morrowind is completed. The island has a small house for sale for those gamers who haven't done the main quest yet and you can upgrade this house. Total size of this plugin will be something like the size of Tribunal.

Tombs Expanded: Adds from 1 to 6 dungeon levels with new monsters to every tomb which means that there will be about 400 new dungeon levels to search.

Personally I am offended by the above.

Looks to me that is exactly what is going on here. The modders themselves are posting links to their WIP projects, gee guess they have something to say don't they?

I wasn't going to trouble people further with my projects but since the above poster rather offended me personally and offended the respect I have for those who give their best effort to do projects with the community's input via WIP threads here etc, I changed my mind, so...

Forum - HERE

Is it so very wrong to offer even the slightest of support to those whose mods you will likely download and play or complain about in the future? What is so blasted wrong with supporting WIP's that may or may not make it to release? How much time does it take you to post discouraging junk like you did here...?? not much right?? so what is so wrong with spending the same amount of time to offer a little encouragment to those WIP projects... ever think that with a bit more encouraging they might just be more likely to make it to release?

Attitudes like this are more of a waste of time in my opinion then this thread is. So why not do yourself a favor and stop wasting your own time by posting that kind of garbage. If you think a WIP is such a waste of time why would you even bother opening this thread just to post something derogatory to someone who wished only to help spread the word about projects that are in the making...SHEEESH...

Just to tired this time to give a rats butt about actually hitting submit on this rant. To many times I have written out things like this to people on this board and that is the main reason I avoid this board more and more...it has become more of a waste of my time then a help to it. Even now I waste my time and breath and I only drop in here once a week or so as it is....

BAH...whatever, I'm going to bed.

______

Original poster and the others posting their WIP's much respect to you all, your devotion to even give the effort is commendable! And your releases will encourage others to follow your examples and ignore those who would rather see the game die then post in a WIP thread... Take heart and courage your projects are worthy of all the attention they get from this thread in my opinion. And just because of that, *Added to bookmarks*

Take care

So tell me, should we not be offended by your last comments?
There's a great community here with a LOT of great modders and mod-users alike. If we're not worth your time then why do you bother?

It's the ungrateful types that make modding a chore. You spend months on a mod, and when you release it, you get nothing but complaints from people who never bothered to post in your wip threads.

WIP threads serve a real purpose, as a place to discuss ideas and to show support to the modder. Maybe so many of them become vaporware because the modder becomes disgusted with the lack of feedback.

Well, you can also choose not to get caught up in the forums so much that you care what is vaporware and what isn't. It's none of our business whether Vorwoda says it's almost finished, he's not truly obligated to say anything about what he does, as the case with anyone here making mods.

People getting offended about mods is tiresome and silly. People getting offended by personal attacks is justified.

Most forums are like this, from NASCAR to fishing to cookbook forums. Just blow it off, and remember it's a game called Morrowind.

In my case, I just dont hype my mods other than the thread I make for them. I dont need much PR, I'm not on any teams or clans or whatnot, just lone wolf loch. There are alot of ppl like me, and alot of ppl quite the opposite. They have to mention their mods in every thread, which I suppose is good to get word out...but tiresome after to much of it.

I think Telesphoros' List o Mods is the one thread that I truly stand by, most of the others are just coat-tail hangers looking to get stars or thousands of views. AcidBasick and Tele took lots of time to code the links and really take a good look at things...these other threads are just mish-mash LOOK HERE kinds of things. Sorry if that gets you steamy in the ears, but it's my perogitive to say so.

If you are one of those people who hops around this board posting negative responses to threads like this one then I guess you could be offended by my comment directed at those people. Perhaps I did not clarify it well enough, perhaps I am to tired and simply after two years of being around this board decided once more to not hit the back button after writting out my thoughts on the negativity, or perhaps you didn't finish reading my post above where at the end I gave my respect to those who have the WIP threads and to the person who started this one...

I am well aware of this communities skilled and talented people and have a great deal of respect for the vast majority of them. I spend my own money for webspace and bandwidth that I use to try and offer my thanx for what they do by hosting the MorroRing on it as well. I PM people with encouragement, and try to help them if they need it as well. Those modders that have the courage to pursue their dream and vision ALWAYS have my respect and are ALWAYS worth my time.

What is not worth my time is coming here when it gets this period of slumping attitudes that see a rise in negative postings, because I try very hard to show respect to all people on the forums I visit I usually find myself typing long winded resposnses like the one above and this one but very VERY rarely do I hit submit on those writtings because by the time I finish writting it out I am over the initial feeling of insult that I got from reading the post and rather then ADD to the negative posting I simply hit the back button and go on to something else or post a reply to the original poster if it is of any benifit to them.

So take my above as you think it applies to you. If you are one of the negative posters that posts such garbage as WIP's are vaporware until released then by all means be offended and I am glad you are because if you are one of those people you have offended me for years now, it's about time I was finally able to offend you back!!

If you are not one of those types of people then know that the last part of my post was directed at you. the part you did not include in your quote...

And further I would offer what my being tired or simply annoyed caused me to forget. Just as much respect to those who DO offer their support to WIP's regardless of the ambition of the poster of that WIP, You who support them are just as valuable as those who make them in this community!!

I feel this is a slight exaggeration. This forum has many regular members who are very supportive. The people that would complain are the ones who aren't part of the community.
On a personal level, your work is amazing and people often comment on that. If I offended you then I very humbly apologize.

Well, I don't consider myself to be a negative poster. I don't post as often as many people but I have been doing moreso since I've gotten more integrated into the community. Generally, I am very positive and supportive and wouldn't do anything to offend.

You are correct in that I didn't finish your post, I think that I must have gotten to that point and seen it as your signature area. So I apologize for that as well. Man, it sure is a night for me to be screwing up and pissing people off. Bed-time I think.

No, I was not talking about you(I was talking about the yam guy), although now that you mention it, I don't remember you ever posting in one of my threads, yet you know I'm working on it...I bet you've looked at the pics too right?

I seldom get offended by anything said (or not said) to me here. I do however get rather annoyed sometimes. What makes people choose to ignore some wip threads, when they post in others? (I don't mean you personally just people in general)

Please do not think you pissed me off in the least. Myself being tired usually am even worse at making my points clear then I am when I am not tired...and that is bad enough... I simply made my second post to try and better clarify what I meant in my first post. I have read many threads you have posted in and have had good thoughts about what you posted and respect you for that. Even your post above about WIP's was done in such a way as to simply ask when would a person think a WIP had stopped. It was a direct question to a direct WIP and mentioned reasons you have for trying not to get overly excited about others. It in no way was a flat blatant post stating that all WIP's are worthless until they are released etc. I thought you posted a respectful question and personal feeling about WIP's.

To answer I would say you are correct in your thinking. Try not to be overly excited about them but the very least that can be done is to have enough respect for the person not to post in their thread that their project will never see the light of day. (I know you don't do this but I have seen others do it, including other people with WIP threads of their own...sheesh...) But perhaps when you see a modder with several WIP's you can ask them in a pm, why they are doing or trying to do so many..or even in their thread. Maybe the other projects they post about are run by someone else and all they are doing is one little thing for those projects but because they believe in the maker of the project they advertise for them etc... if they are in charge of all of them, sure be cautious but really what does it cost to support their effort even if it never comes to pass. If you are interested in the idea hey encourage it if not, just move on to something else where you can be positive.

Just my thoughts on the matter you mentioned.
with respect,

TW

Some things inspire me to post if I feel I can contribute a real voice but I feel useless posting "oh my gosh, this looks great, can't wait" when there's two or more pages of people that have already posted. I do occasionaly make posts like this but not everytime I think it. I guess I should rethink that as any kind of good comment is appreciated I suppose.

I'd be VERY surprised if I've never commented on your WIPs. For what's its worth, I think your Egyptian tileset is brilliant and I would love to see more. I also really like your futuristic setting although I can't see myself using that, but it is really quality. I downloaded your crazy furniture and thought the textures were beautiful. You're set in the readme when I release my house plugin. I didn't use you're textures but I wouldn't have been able to set my furniture up without your inspiration.

I rarely offer suggestions unless something really hits me. I'll try to be more vocal with my support in the future, even if the support is already there.

I don't expect or even hope for people to gush, I just want them to say SOMETHING!!!! I don't care what anyone says, it sucks to have what you know is good work ingnored by others. Especially when they reply to tons of other WIP threads. Why do people choose to avoid mine? Because I've already got some replies? That sucks. I come to this forum every day, and often bump my threads, and who replies? The same people who replied last time, that's who. (and I',m grateful to have those loyal fans)

If I judged intrest in my castle mod by the number of individuals who saw fit to reply to me about it, then I'd guess theres about ten-fifteen people waiting for it.

Hey, I get the same hand dealt to me, sister. We're all rowing this boat.

I cannot, as a person expect everyone to like me, as you shouldnt. Just for the pseudonym you've chosen (shannon) people will despise you. Silly huh. People are like that. Be glad you arent melady.

This is how I feel about my work -I do it for me. If someone notices it and is interested then I'm highly flattered. Most of the stuff I've done is never seen by others. I got a few nice comments on my Mog home and 2 or 3 people who were interested in getting the plugin... but they were people that I look up to in this forum so that blew me away. Definitely worth building the home from scratch even if its just for a couple of people.

I always felt that you get a lot of attention but it was deserved because you create quality work. But I see it differently than you because its your work so what I think is a lot may not be as much to you.

Hehehe, I figured it was your real name.

I make mods so I can get laid and make lots of cash, drive a bentley and eat a turkey sandwich whenever I want. There, I said it.

Well, I don't have anything to add, but I would like to thank the originator of this thread for including my various WIP projects (Bjornholm, Bards of Vvardenfell, and Black Market)... how can I not like free PR?

Also... wow... all of my current projects start with the letter B. Odd.

Thanks, I actually meant this to be two things, one a place for people to easily find the WIPs they're looking forward to, and two, at some point I'll get this list organized, and then I'll add codes for thinbgs like whether or not the modder is currently looking for help, etc. However it won't be this week, because I'm going on vacation in 2 and 1/2 hours. Thank God. So please keep adding WIPs so I don't have to do the footwork. (It's not much fun looking through WIPs because the coolest thing you ever see is a Screen Shot.)

Elegance you say? Am I a diplomat now? The gist of my remark was meant to signify that none of these other lists are organized as well as TLOM. If the authors wouls actually take time to sort things out into categories, or at the very least put double spacing between the lines, these other lists would be alot easier to read and more helpful.

I know you put yourself off as smarter than everyone else, it's in your wording...that's fine. I know you dont like me anyway, youve never lowered yourself to post in anything I've done to show support for me...thats fine too. I made my opinion known (and I stand by it).

Once you start making a mod (which to my knowledge you have not) you will see the hours turn to days turn to weeks turn to months and realize that making one isn't to make a list, or to be "featured" anywhere...it's for the pure enjoyment of creating it.

And to be clear: I do not "think so ill of others" as you would have others believe. That is YOUR judgement upon me, which is false. I think ill of the practice of making (unoragnized) list threads just to have accolades or be noticed. I didn't specify whether I thought THIS thread was part of that practivce.

If i'm not elegant enough for you, ignore my posts.

I don't think you are rude, Loch.

Perhaps a bit honest, but I'll take honesty over a nice liar any time. It's refreshing to hear someone being blunt without the frills of adoration. I suppose some can't take criticism even though they ask for it.

It seems strange that you would leave so quickly. Were you looking for a way out? I sure wish I could find one.

Hypocrisy is far less tolerable then rudeness; it seems you've managed to achieve both traits in one post.


This started as a nice work in progress thread and has degraded into flames. It's both sad and ridiculous.

My WIP - Lich Enhanced
Aims to build on the existing framework for liches introduced by Illuminated Order, and enrich the experience with various new features & concepts. As well as adjustments/additions to the existing system for the lich powers/abilities, this will eventually include alternative ways to become a lich, creation of lesser lich followers, possession of new host bodies, ascention to the state of demi-lich, and much more.
