| '''The STEP Solution''' <BR>
| |
| One can spend hundreds of hours just searching for mods before actually getting down to the business of installing them. <BR>
| |
| As mods increase in number and complexity and mod creators produce more and more mods that alter game play, interface and settings, <BR>
| |
| the probability of game-crashing conflicts increases. The STEP project takes care of the heavy lifting associated with sifting through thousands of mods <BR>
| |
| and selecting the ones that significantly enhance and improve the vanilla experience without detracting from it <BR>
| |
| with as little cost as possible in terms of performance. Users are able to follow detailed, step-by-STEP manual-installation instructions <BR>
| |
| and be confident that all components have been individually tested by the community and the results verified. <BR>
| |
| This cuts down on a vast amount of time and headache dealing with sampling, testing and troubleshooting. <BR>

| === 1.D About MGE and downloading shaders ===
| |
| | |
| The latest Morrowind graphic extender enables higher resolutions, better shaders, bump-mapping, and much more. <BR>
| |
| All extra shaders and settings can be downloaded [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45257/ here]. <BR>
| |
| After install, adjust the resolution to what the system is using(for example 1920 x 1080).
| |
| | |
| === 1.E System Requirements ===
| |
| This is the minimum specifications for a good gaming experience, anything more powerful than this will run fine. <BR>
| |
| OpenMW is an performance friendly and cross-platform alternative to MGE, but requires avoiding certain mods, many cannot <BR>
| |
| be easily deactivated after installing them. OpenMW does not support shaders.

| === 1.F Installing Mods ===
| |
| | |
| All files except .EXEs(they go into the game folder), needs to be placed in the data folder.
| |
| From the [http://wiki.theassimilationlab.com/mmw/Beginners_Guide MW Modding Wiki]:
| |
| | |
| "The Data Files folder (or just data folder) is where all of the data that the game uses is stored. <BR>
| |
| That's the music, textures, meshes, etc. This is also where all mods are installed, and where their data (again the meshes, textures, music, etc) is stored. <BR>
| |
| To find the data folder, first make sure that you are looking at the game folder. From here you should see a folder called Data Files. <BR>
| |
| That's the folder we need, open it up and you should see more folders marked as Meshes, Textures, etc. <BR>
| |
| Though don't worry if you don't. You should also see some files called Morrowind.esm, Tribunal.esm, and Bloodmoon.esm. <BR>
| |
| These are master files. Mods are similar to these, but would end with .esp. These are called plugin files." <BR>
| |
| | |
| Install the mods in the same order as listed, and always let the files overwrite. <BR>
| |
| | |
| == 2. Mods ==

| Note: If you want a simpler setup try [http://wiki.step-project.com/BasicMW BasicMW] instead.
| |
| === 2.A Fixes & patches ===
| |
| Note on OpenMW compatibility: This requires selecting the non-bump mapped versions of mods.

| === 3.A Graphics Card Settings ===
| |
| Turn off antialiasing and anisotropic filtering in the graphics driver.
| |
| Set the GPU to full performance if possible.
| |
| === 3.B Plugins ===
| |
| 1. Open the launcher and activate all plugins except those noted. <br>
| |
| 2. Run Mlox to sort your plugins. <br>
| |
| 3. Check that the game, starts, if not, deactivate plugins until it starts. <br>

| |
| [[File:Morrowind 2017-10-23 18.31.13.257.png|600px]] <br>
| |
| 1. Start MGE XE Gui. <br>
| |
| 2. Set AA to "4" and AF to "8". <br>
| |
| 3. Check that resolution and refresh rate matches the monitor settings. Turn Vsync off for now. <br>
| |
| 4. Generate distant land with all plugins that isn't gameplay-related. Set grass density to 60%. <br>
| |
| 5. Install the [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45257/? STEP shaders] if you haven't already, copy the settings too. <br>
| |
| 6. That's it! Check game performance and tweak until acceptable FPS is achieved. Vsync may be turned on after this. <br>
| |
| | |
| Note: If you have good FPS, but still experience stutter, see [[Guide:DDSopt|Texture optimization]]. <br>
| |
| Very low FPS? Consider using [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/3875/? Morrowind FPs Optimizer] with MGE. <br>
