bushwhacker2k Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I was browsing UESP and found the formula for enchanting cast cost (effectiveCost = baseCost*(1.1 - enchant/100)) and realized this would fix most of the problems I have with spellcasting (plus spell costs change in every core Elder Scrolls game, Arena, Daggerfall, Oblivion AND Skyrim... Morrowind is the only exception). However, I have never made a mod and have no idea how I would go about implementing this. (I looked around in the Construction Set and couldn't figure out where scripts involving basic spellcasting were, so didn't make much progress...) Does anyone have any (useful) advice, or maybe someone would even be interested in just making this themselves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagafyr Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I spent a lot of time reading about doing Scripts at the Wiki for Morrowind modding. I had to go back and read the instructions several times before Learning all about the script method. It will reward you if you do. I haven't modded Morrowind since Windows 7 was the OS. I assure you that reading the instructions for scripting on the Morrowind Wiki has all the instructions you will need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhacker2k Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Been checking various things on modding on UESP and haven't yet found anything on basic spellcasting. I also tried finding the same thing for using enchanted items, as it should give me an idea how that's implemented. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Dragon32 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 It's probably best to join this Discord and describe what you're tying to do there, it's much more active than here https://discord.me/mwmods Just because a formula has been discovered doesn't mean it's necessarily changeable using the TES:CS, people have been reverse engineering the Morrowind executable for, e.g. OpenMW. There maybe some variables exposed as GMSTs like the 1.1 in your example, but not the actual formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhacker2k Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Thanks for the discord link, I'll ask there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted156886133 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Hey, but check this out. The Morrowind Scripting For Dummies has some relevant information. I believe what you seek involves modifying game settings. However, I don't know how they would be implemented with a mod. But see the screenshots below. Spoiler The screenshots are small, I know. They are just there for demonstration. But do ask on Discord. At least this may give you some direction. --Edit-- I forgot to mention to take note of the highlighted blue areas, if it wasn't intuitive.

Near the mentioned gameplay settings there is the dedicated Magic effects just above that in TES. All magic effects cost can be modified in cost.

Dorfklaus Posted Wednesday at 07:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:54 PM Check out this mod by trainwiz. Using only the CS you can only write scripts that refund the excess magicka after casting (still pretty cool imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
