📋 About This Mod

Please note that this Total Conversion project is still in an early BETA state. An optional torrent download can be found in the Mirrors tab. Name: Middle-Earth Roleplaying Project (MERP) Version: Beta 0. 2. 6 Date: 06/02/2012 Category: New Lands Requirements: Shivering Isles Patch 1. 2. 0416 Authors: MERPTeam MERP Forum Moddb Official The Elder Scrolls Forum Facebook Description MERP is an endeavour that is striving to make J. R. R. Tolkien\'s world of Middle-earth available for RPG enthusiasts. We\'ve done quite a lot of landscaping as well as some town building and we thought you might enjoy the tour. The version 0. 2. 6 is our last Beta release for TES IV: Oblivion. It contains everything we created so far including generated regions, popular sites and some NPCs in the town of Bree. There will be no further major updates for the Oblivion branch of MERP since we will from now on concentrate fully on developing MERP for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Update 0. 2. 65: Includes improved performance around Minas Tirith and Pelargir, and you can now see the Emyn Muil from afar! Also be prepared for what now lies within one of the halls of Moria! There are also plenty of fixes included such as: Shelob\'s lair is now accessible and there are much less holes in the ground! Details The installations already contains all essential files like OBSE and Pluggy that are needed to run the mod. Regions to explore include: Shire, Blue Mountains, Harlindon, Arnor, Mirkwood, ... Cities to visit, among others: Minas Tirith, Moria, Hobbiton, Michel Delving, Barad Dur, Isengard, Minas Morgul, ... To get around quickly in Middle-Earth, you can use the console: Open the console [~] and type \"cow MiddleEarth -18,37\" (without quotes) to get to Bree. For more locations see the List of Coordinates at our forum. Installation Requirements: - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Shivering Isles - The latest 1. 2. 0416 patch installed (If you have installed Shivering Isles then you won\'t have to download and install the patch) Process: (Steam users see addition below!) 1. Download the MERP 0. 2. 6 installer, here on TESNexus it is uploaded as a multi-part 7z archive, you need 7zip or another compatible archive application to extract the contents. Extract all three files to the same directory. 2. Run MERP 0. 26.exe, this is the installer. The installer provides two installation options: Either let the installer copy the core files of your current Oblivion installation to make a separate standalone MERP installation (recommended for most people) or install in an existing Oblivion installation (which has to be \'clean\', i.e. without any mods installed, especially no old MERP content, or problems will arise).
