MMGUM

[RolandRoberts]

MMGUM, a new modders and mod users resource has been released and can be downloaded at the URL here.

 

The Morrowind Mod Grid Use Map (aka “MMGUM”) is an ongoing attempt to capture all exterior grids changed by mods that have been released for Morrowind (“MW”). With an estimated 7,500+ mods created for public release for MW, many of them that change the exterior cells in the game environment, conflicts (one mod places things in the same specific “real estate” used by another mod) that utilize the same game locations often occur. This often necessitates modders doing rework on their mod creations to remove these “real estate” conflicts, or, if that does not occur, mod users often make a choice to use one mod or the other (but not both together) in order to prevent awkwardness in game play or the view that is presented to them in the MW game. These conflicts often result in reduced usage or download of a mod if it is thought to have conflicts with other popular mods. The MMGUM modder’s and mod users resource is designed as a tool to help minimize these conflicts and thus promote increased usage and downloading for new mods created by modders. Other uses for MMGUM, both for modders and mod users, can be found in the accompanying PDF documentation to the release.
