I wanted to thank you for making this. Morrowind has always stood out for its peculiar and alien landscapes, and being able to have your character share in that wonderment and want to draw the world around them has been a very special experience. Having a character that's about to take their first trip to TR's Old Ebonheart and think "Hold up, we gotta load up on art supplies so we can sketch what we find there" was a moment that just clicked different, it made it feel that much more like a trip to a foreign place and I thank you for allowing for this. It's been lovely so far, it really adds a ton to that sense of adventure and to a character that is really seeing things for the first time and taking the time to appreciate that journey.
Hi Merlord! I looked at some pencil paintings I got way back mid 2024, personally I think they used look better, even considering it's the same character and at a considerable lower skill level. These early pencil drawings, mid july 2024 and very low skill: https://tinypic.host/image/12.3id9Mb https://tinypic.host/image/2.3idYVe Mid august 2024: https://tinypic.host/image/14.3idoRB
And these two are from this month, skill around 85: https://tinypic.host/image/23.3idST9 https://tinypic.host/image/18.3idKWu
Problem is, the white diagonal lines now feel too present and spaced, despite the skill level. I tried solving it by pumping up brightness/contrast/saturation, but it ends up being overdone, as you can see in the brawl painting. Could you share some toughs?
Personally, it looks better now. Hatch lines are a nice addition to make pencil sketches stand out from other styles. It wasn't a bad idea, yet felt too present, even at high painting levels. Haven't tried a low level painter yet, though. Do hatch lines scale with painting skill?
Plus, every painting style has it's ups and downs for each scenario and purpose of the painting, personally I use oil and watercolor a lot, since they can capture fog and night-time at the same time, and it makes for amazing paintings. I'm quite illiterate at painting in real life, but it's a nice immersion touch and I appreciate it :)
'sup So the mod itself works fine, made various paper drawings with both charcoal and ink so that half of the mod works, didn't had any crashes either. The other half, the painting part, doesn't work. When I try to use the easel it doesn't bring up any kind of menu, the character just picks it up like any other normal item. I have all the other dependency mods and I've reinstalled it but nothing. I mainly make this post bc idk if a fix is still in the works, this mod is awesome as a little side distraction so it would be a shame. Idk also if it has something to do with Ashfall not being installed, maybe it should be a dependency too.
Also, apparently a folder should be created with the drawings/paintings I make but there's nothing in the game files. Maybe there's something I should activate in the mod manger ingame but I didn't saw anything related to it.
All of this being said: I'm aware this is a MOD made FOR FREE so I'm not writing with ill intent, I'm (mainly) just wondering if a fix is being worked on as previously said.
Hello! I love this mod, but unfortunately I've been experiencing issues. Watercolor, ink, charcoal and pencil drawing generally works fine, but every time I try to make an oil painting, or even just put up the travel easel, my game crashes. Borderless window didn't help. Do you know what might be the issue? :(
Small bug I was wondering if anyone else had experienced/knows a fix for: when trying to use watercolours it won't let me paint. Clicking the 'paint' button at the bottom of the UI just does nothing at all, keeps the menu open, but I can close it and exit with no problems. All other painting/materials work perfectly - any suggestions?
Hello! I'm just wondering if borderless window mode is still recommended for playing this mod. And if so, should the mod still be *fairly* playable without it? I haven't gotten BW mode to work on my computer for morrowind. It's still recommended in the troubleshooting page on the mod wiki, but that also says to use imagemagick so I assume some of that info's outdated.
Outstanding mod! Sadly, my old tv\monitor dont support 16:9, so at 1366x766 in tooltip for oil and water paintings there is no place for buttons in tooltip under fog gradient. Any chance for adding quick button (bind) for "paint"? I mean, thats would be awesome.
Loving the new release as always! I have however encountered small issue (or maybe a feature?) - Ink and pencil sketches are all wobbly. More importantly contrast and brightness sliders dont work at all. Is this paint skill related? I'll try to grind painting and check if anything changes but wanted to mention it in case its a but or someone else wonders. Tried reinstalling the mod, double checked requirements and all that shennanigans
They are wobbly because your character sucks at drawing. It'll get less wobbly as your painting skill increases. This now matches how other painting styles work.
I can't replicate the contrast/brightness controls not working, they work fine on my end. Send me your mwse.log file
I've raised an Issue via GitHub, thank you for reaching out! Meanwhile I'll try to manually find mod that may cause conflict with joy of painting, but I have no idea which one that might be

I've reduced the hatch strength and size in the latest version, let me know what you think.

Depending on what mod manager you're using, the generated files are probably going into the overwrite folder or equivalent.

Love the mod btw
