nord1232 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I was wondering why the last topic I read on it seemed to shoot down the idea of horses? There are several references to horses in books in morrowind (not from mods)...and it would make sense with the imperial occupation of morrowind wouldn't it? Just curious....

TheDeadTree Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well, the reason, supposedly, is that horses wouldn't be able to survive on Vvardenfell because of a lack of grass for food. Not just that, but the Dunmer also enjoy the taste of horse flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 As far as i've gathered from other threads, animating riding a horse is damned difficult without a really full understanding of the editor. It is possible, i think, but as far as i know no-one has released a working one yet. The reason the previous thread you mentioned was shot down is because the mods and most of the more prolific posters are tired of seeing the same old threads on the topic. At least you managed to put a spin on it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nord1232 Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 thanks for the input... I hadn't though about the lack of grass..... how sill y of me.... I can't even figure out how to install the tes set so I don't have a clue how to do the scripting for an actual horse... not the infamouse horse "pants" mod... if you just want to take a screen shot of your person riding a horse then it's cool though... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 there is a horse mod out actually...a crap horse mod, but its a hard thing to do, script it all (you'd need to know the scripting language as a second language!), modelling (3ds) animation (3ds) and mind you, animation is bloody hard, just animating a finger is mind boggiling.

Switch Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Yes, basically it's near impossible and pretty damn improbable for anyone to do a horse mod. It would require someone with detailed knowledge of both 3D Studio Max AND the Morrowind scripting language at the same time. That's pretty unlikely since modellers are quite rare (since 3DS costs $3,000+!) and their time is almost completely taken up with modelling from what I've seen.

Luxar Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 The reason Bethesda has concocted for not having horses in Morrowind is due to the Blight storms they could not survive. Same with many other larger animals(elephants and such). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camonna Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 That does make sense but how do you know about them eating horse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
