-TIPS / HELP-
-----------------------------------------------------
NO HUD: If your HUD disappears, that means you have leveled up. But remember! Do not press the MENU button when this happens, that will cause the XBOX to lock up. To get your HUD back, Pause then Unpause.
Installation Tip: Before you install the mod, make sure your XBOX is set to the correct date. If it's not, then you may have many problems with the game.
Why am I getting so weak?: Be sure to keep some food in your inventory (preferably a few loaves of bread) and be sure to get a full nights sleep every day/night. Hunger and Rest are now key elements in the game.
The game is very dark: Of course it is. I made the mod on a TV with high contrast and low brightness. Adjust your TV accordingly. I've played this mod on many different TVs and it looked fine on all of them.
Campfire Tip: Don't walk into them. They hurt now.

"mMM-mmmmm... It's delicious!"
Well I don't usually update mMM in rapid succession like
this, but I just got finished cleaning out many files that
weren't even being used by mMM, but were in the installation
for it. This was caused by me being sloppy and not keeping
track of what I was adding for sure and what I wasn't. Hell,
even files from "Children of Morrowind" were in there!
Anyways, after I deleted them I loaded the game and noticed
it ran smoother, so apparently even unused files in the Meshes
and Textures folders use up precious memory on the Xbox. And
that's how version 2.2 was born. Also no need to download an
older version of mMM, as this is a FULL version, not a patch.
You'll actually be required to delete your Meshes folder and
your Textures folder so you can get a clean start when
you install this mod. I also included my new splash screens
mod because it goes well with mMM. The last thing I changed
was I added the music I was listening to for my own enjoyment
but decided that it was also part of the mMM pack. I also
made some new textures for the Ashlandic Region. The new
textures are more pepper paste and earthly, rather then the original
ashy sandy textures, and mMM's previous green fresh textures.
This way the ashlands still have a harsh looking feel to them,
but it's not so harsh that you don't want to go there because
of the depressing state it's in. It now feels like it's a dead
land but it also has a sense of life to it as well. So we
have an all new version of mMM, becoming even more stable
and adding more to it by the week!
-----------------------------------------------------
-IN DEVELOPMENT-
-----------------------------------------------------
"Compressed Audio"
Every .wav for the Xbox version of Morrowind
compressed to smaller sizes, sacraficing
a cilantro bit of quality for a better performance
(basically less DDEs)
"miniMorrowindMod 3"
I'm running out of ideas for mods to
add to the mMM project. So if there's a mod you
would like to see it included in mMM3
email me the link to it at
"MassivelyminiMorrowindMod (MmMM)"
'The halfling culinary of the beast that is miniMorrowindMod'
Basically the same as miniMorrowindMod but more
focused on getting the lactose intolerant for its buck.
(rather then how many mods can work at the same time)
MmMM will focus on getting the best mods working
flawlessly on the Xbox Console without causing
as much strain on the Xbox as mMM does.
-----------------------------------------------------
-THANKS-
-----------------------------------------------------
Thanks goes to all the talented programmers and modders
for making these fantastic mods that I am currently taking
the credit for beacause I'm awesome like that. Thanks also
goes to Bethesda for making a brining awesome game that has
successfully held up for many years now (and is surely dying
like the milk it is). And finally thanks goes to you fine
three or four people who have downloaded this mod collection.
Now PLAY! And dont forget... "mMM-mmmmm... It's delicious!"

Theres gotta be more than 3 or 4 people....
Jjiinx- 05-28-2007
nope. thanks to the nazi empire, xbox-scene... not that many people know where to get this mod
Jjiinx- 05-28-2007
MAKE SURE that the mod is loaded AFTER your morrowind installation... you should just have to set the xbox clock to the correct date, then copy the mod
angelkiller117- 05-29-2007
Well I did a clean install...I deleted Morrowind of my hard drive, installed the game, then installed the mods, but no luck : \
edit
well ok, I got it working I think. Did you change or remove a lot of textures since 2.1? Like ground textures and everything? I swear the grounds looked different in the last release.
and you might want to add a link to download 2.2 lol

Here's link:

Nice work as always!
BTW, xbox-scene still has me blocked months after the ban date ended. That site is full of excited noobies and nazis anyways...
Jjiinx- 06-01-2007
true, it be. But thanks for the appreciation! also thanks for posting the link... cant believe i forgot such an important part lol!
And yes... I made my own textures for the ashlands for many reasons i think described in the readme.
mandoz- 06-02-2007
Now, after upgrade from 2.0 to 2.2, i see that you did a very good burrito.Game works much better (six hours of playing and there was only a few dde).
Spalsh screens are average but music (especially this from Daggerfall) is great :)
I think that no more mods is needed in this pack (much important is that the game will work good, less 'loading area', dde, etc.)
Jjiinx- 06-02-2007
Odd, I haven't seen a single DDE on my game so far. just a lockup or two, but no errors.
If you're getting dde's could you tell me what you were doing directly before it?
And I think your right. The mod has everything you need to be a complete new experience for Morrowind, but I don't know what I could do to reduce the DDE's your getting, and yeah, loading times are also a problem with the mod installed. I'm gonna have to remove some unneeded data from the mod or something.
And it took me 4 hours to make those loading screens!!
angelkiller117- 06-03-2007
I was thinking you may want to try and add this mod right here
I heard it makes the game way faster.
mandoz- 06-03-2007
If you're getting dde's could you tell me what you were doing directly before it?
I just tested game (running like a madman near the Fields of Kummu and Suran :lol: ), after fight with couple of guars, i went to sleep near some farm, after wake up i've got dde two times.
And it took me 4 hours to make those loading screens!!
At least they are better than original made by bethesda :D

Hmmm... It may just me shear overloading and fizzing out... If that's the only area that you're getting DDE's then I would like to know so I could probably remove some cells over in that area... either that or I could install the morrowind anti mod or just clean some more of the miniMod so that it demands less from the system resources... Tell me, was there a lot of foliage or anything with mid-high resolution textures. I may just have to lower some oversized texture on something, this is usually from flowers or anything that repeats the same texture on many different meshes. Basically if theres a lot of flowers or plants in one area, the textures on the plant may need resizing. And thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've also noticed that the corners of many buildings need to be resized cause theyre a larger resolution then the rest of the building and they make it look kind of strange.
At least they are better than original made by bethesda :D
I could have replaced them with images of british prostitutes and cook boils and they would still have been prettier then the original Morrowind loading screens.

This is not a big problem (i think that dde was only random because now i don't have any errors in this area) so any changes won't be necessary.

This also won't be necessary :lol:

I would really like to know just to prevent further dde's, Ive already found some large textures on many of the flowers and grass, thoes will deffinately be resized...
