📋 About This Mod

                                                 MW Containers Animated v2. 10

=============

Requirements

=============

Morrowind Code Patch

Morrowind Graphic Extender XE

Latest version of MWSE

============

Description

============

This mod adds open and close animation to all containers that should have animation. Containers from other mods will be animated too, if they use vanilla models.

Containers stay open after you activate them, so you can see if you opened them before. To close them you have to activate them again.

If you leave guild supply chests open, they will close when their contents respawn.

If you are using OpenMW, download this instead.

=============

Installation

=============

For the mod to work properly you need to download Morrowind Code Patch  and enable "animated containers crash fix" and "mod removal fixes" in the bug fixes category.

Download and install MGE XE . If you installed MGE XE manually, then you have to download and install latest version of MWSE.

If you are using latest version of this mod you don't need ACEG  or 'AC optimized' or any compatibility patches. Any patches you can find for this mod were made for v1. 0 and will break v2. 0.

==================

Updating the mod

==================

If you install version 2. 0x overwriting version 1.x, you will get error messages when starting the game. Just ignore them.

=============================

Compatibility with other mods

=============================

Will conflict with mods that replace container meshes.

This mod adds animation to kollops, so it may conflict with old graphic herbalism mods. However, it's compatible with this one. And you should not use any other graphic herbalism mod anyway.

Here is version of the mod compatible with Quickloot. I did not write or test it so I won't be able to help if it does not work.

=============================

Using your own animated containers with this mod

=============================

You can use this mod's "interop" file to make your own animated containers work with this mod. Your lua code should look like this:

local mwca = include("MWCA.interop");

if mwca then

mwca["o\\contain_crate_01.nif"] = {"MyMod\\MyAnimMesh.nif", 1, 2, 0. 5, 0. 5, "MyOpenSound", "MyCLoseSound", 0. 5};

The key used to store your container data in the interop table is the path from "Data Files\meshes" to the mesh your container replaces. You don't need to edit any objects that use this mesh in the CS.
