Morroblivion

Haha thats really cool, but I was just wondering that with all this attention its getting will bethesda not get pissed and try like shut us down? :O

They already know about us anyway. I bet they browser our forums every few months.

^ Our pace is too slow to require them to browse our forums that often =p

guys, type in google "skywind morrowind" it's a lot of the articles today.

and look to the number of guests on the site Oo 234 Oo

Yes, but if it's just a few developers, they can easily ignore us. If we get this kind of coverage, the Zenimax legal machine may feel obligated to take action.

Let's not forget about Zenimax's little tussle with Notch over the use of the word "Scrolls."

Oh, and it seems that most of the articles are misrepresenting Eloth as the leader of the project.  I mean he is doing AWESOME work, and his title is Project Lead, but they should have made it sound more like a group effort in my opinion.

Well, when we actually finished up the project, we would have gotten this amount of recognition anyway. I'd rather get shut down now than later in the project.

Perhaps closing the forums to guest, and allowing certain members access to certain sections?

Now, and that's just my two cents : Bethesda has been aware of morroblivion for ages. I doubt they would be absolutely surprised by this initiative. So probably their feeling wouldn't change. If I even want to be optimistic, I would say that now that some gaming websites talked about us, should something happen, they will probably report it also and that would be bad publicity. Just my thoughts. (I'm not advocating for more publicity by saying so).

Not singling you out, just pointing out something about this statement: we're making the error of thinking of Bethesda as a single entity. There are doubtless people in Bethesda who think we're doing some awesome work here, but there will also be those (the business/legal-oriented folk) who will have an obligation to shut us down. It's easier to ignore us when we aren't in the news.

That said, let's hope I'm blowing this out of proportion! :D

First of all, using unique textures and meshes will be very good (for example all our armor and weapon will be made from scratch)

Moreover, we could try to don't post for publicity our pre-pre-pre-alpha versions only share it with team etc

Hey, you're the press-designated leader of the project, you decide

No im not, you must be mistaken ;)

I'm not really involved with the project, but I'd hate to see all this fantastic effort go to waste because of some legal issues, especially if those can be avoided.

At one point I think I was led to understand that the issues around the original Morroblivion were something like this: some of the models for Morrowind were created by some subcontractor or something and licensed to be used in one game only, so that Bethesda were worried about getting sued by the subcontractor for using their models in TWO games rather than one. They forbade speaking of Morroblivion on social networking sites etc to avoid the impression the were endorsing the use of those specific models in more games than one. Am I correct?

If so, what I wonder is whether the models for Oblivion had the same legal issues?

If not, perhaps the converting Cyrodiil into Skyrim will be more palatable to Bethsoft / ZeniMax than Morrowind?

Also, using the remade models employed in Morroblivion as much as possible seems to be a very good idea for Skywind.

Just my 5 cents'.

Guys, another thing I think we need to do if one of us makes any more promotional videos for Skywind, is to give credit where it's due, for example, really quick before or after the trailer in a video:

• First and foremost, Bethesda, for making an awesome game (Morrowind) and game engine (Skyrim).
• Secondly, the Morroblivion Project, because without them, we wouldn't have any of the meshes or textures we have to work with. 
• Thirdly, the Andoran Project. I think people are starting to forget how Anry and the Andoran Project are the ones who supplied us with a converter, and without that, we wouldn't be anywhere close to where we are right now.
• Fourthly, Eloth, for his amazing textures and meshes he's blowing our minds away with. Without those pics, we would definitely have not gotten nearly as much attention as we are right now (whether you view that as a good or bad thing.)
• And the rest of the guys working hard on the Skywind Project. I was going to name everyone out, but I know I would miss someone. Just know that you are important, and that this is all for a better cause, so people who maybe could not enjoy Morrowind before, can now enjoy that amazing experience in a new updated engine.

HAHAHAHAHA! OMG  :bigsmile:

Neat, I hope there will be an english version, because I'll try ya mod when it's finished.

Sure, there will be english version.  ;)

P.S. Andoran is very close to Morrowind so you will love it!

I am the guy trying to put the master file together for this project and love doing the work and seeing this amazing mod grow.:)

But I store the installer which installs the master on mediafire,and mediafire have my email address and proberly IP,so I am am right on the front line as far as Beth is concerned,because no master = no project.

I am not concerned about the above...but maybe I should be.?

Don't let it get you down, 'tis the nature of the internet sometimes.

My overall impression is that the people who are working on Skywind are doing so because THEY want to play it.

So the TESNexus community are bitching, f*ck 'em. It's not like anybody is getting paid.

Beth has Tesnexus by the balls so much, it's not even funny. If Beth told them to sell their moms and sisters on the streets, they'd do it.

The Nexus has spread the word D: Is this bad news?

The Skywind news thread on the Nexus was closed. Only took them a day or two, but hey, they're quite fast to close it huh? =p

Nws thread got closed on Nexus, but you can still leave comments using the news section of the site. That'll sure show those users for talking about a forbidden mod!
