I. Requirements:

- Morrowind
- Tribunal
- Bloodmoon
- MGE XE



II. Description:
Made for the Morrowind May Modathon 2020

Version 1.1 fixes the base added back to dramatic vivec in the BANNERS ONLY version

Version 1.2 adds a new esp: the BANNERS ONLY - VANILLA version, thus converting the previous Banners Only version into the BANNERS ONLY - DRAMATIC VIVEC version and solving the stone base issue once and for all. 

This is a standalone mod whose goal is to breathe a little more life into the exterior of the Vivec Temple Canton, which I'd always personally felt was rather bare on the outside in vanilla Morrowind. While other mods may aim to do this, the main point of this mod is to do so without redoing the entire city, allowing for further modularity. The download contains three versions, the differences of which are documented below:

FULL Version (DO NOT USE WITH DRAMATIC VIVEC) includes:
- Banners added to the outside of the Temple Canton
- An obelisk monument in the empty corner of the canton facing the palace, with Vivecs name carved into it
- Benches on the sides of the Temple
- Flowerpots with Coda flowers around benches

BANNERS ONLY - VANILLA Version ( DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU USE DRAMATIC VIVEC) :
- Banners added to the outside of the Temple Canton

BANNERS ONLY - DRAMATIC VIVEC Version: 
- Made specifically to guarantee compatibility between V.T.E.O and D.V.

Note that the photos were taken in my own modded Morrowind and therefore not all that you see there comes within this mod.
This mod ONLY adds to the Temple Canton in Vivec.

Future plans for the mods are: 

None currently, as the mod functions as intended

New ideas are welcome

 

III. Compatibility:

This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't affect the Vivec Temple Canton and certain mods that do, such as:
Dramatic Vivec (With BANNERS ONLY - DRAMATIC VIVEC version)
Passage of Prayers (ALL THREE VERSIONS)

I have tested it on Vanilla Morrowind, OpenMW and on a Rebirth based gamed and it worked correctly on all three with the appropriate .ESP active.

MGE XE is necessary in order to render the statics at a distance



IV. Installation and Removal:

In the compressed archives you will find three .ESPs, one for each version of the mod.
Pick the version that will be compatible for you and copy the .ESP into your Morrowind\Data Files. Activate the mod in your mod manager of choice, and run MGE XE for distant viewing. From here, you should be ready to go.
DO NOT USE MORE THEN ONE OF THE .ESP'S

Please review photos section to see the difference of the three versions.

Version can be exchanged without problems, simply overwrite the previous files with the new version, and rerun MGE XE.

To remove simply delete the .ESP and rerun MGE XE.

Note: Even if this mod does not harm your Morrowind installation, always have a backup for safety. I will not be held responsible for your Morrowind installation.



V. Credits:
ATTENTION: If you wish to modify this mod, feel free but make sure to throw me some credit in the footnotes

I'd like to thank modder Vegetto88 for their continued help, patience, and testing of my mod during development. All of which this wouldn't have been possible without.
