- Vacation Time
- I'll be on vacation for about three weeks as I head back home for bit. More updates about all the stuff
I missed when I return.
|
|
2 July 2000 |
- Pete Hines Interview
- Voodoo Extreme has a Interview with Pete Hines
about Morrowind.
- Chance to Participate
- There have been a number of posts on the Official Morrowind Forum
by the Bethesda developement team asking for input about a number of things. Some of the topics I've found are listed below:
- Armour Types
- Clutter/Junk/Kipple Suggestions
- Magical Item Names
- So Hard They're Not Fun CRPGs
Don't miss your chance to help participate in the creation of Morrowind and be sure to check out the official forum
regularily as there's surely more to come.
- Would the Real 213.219.19.148 Please Stand Up?
- If you're IP address is 213.219.19.148 please give me an e-mail ASAP (you can check your IP address in windows by
clicking Start, then Run, and typing WINIPCFG, then Ok). Every couple of days you have
been trying to download the entire site for some reason, which would be ok, but your software starts creating
bad requests which can cause problems with poor m0use. If you don't contact me within the next week we will have
to ban your IP (which we don't really want to do). Thanks...
- New Poll
- Finally added a new voting poll (below) about how you would rate this site.
- Morrowind Developement Team
- I've created a MW Developement Team page listing the
various people working on the game. If there are any omissions or errors, just let me know.

24 June 2000 |
- Todd Howard Interview
- Gamespot has a very iteresting Todd Howard
interview you won't want to miss. Todd Howard is the project leader for Morrowind, was the project leader for Redguard
and also worked on Daggerfall.
- GT Noonan Interview
- Check out an informative interview with GT Noonan (Bethesda artist and ES demi-god) over at
TES Gurus.
- Morrowind Screenshots
- If you haven't seen all the latest Morrowind screenshots,
be sure to check them out!
- Morrowind Unofficial FAQ
- An excellent Unofficial Morrowind FAQ has been
created by Gavin Carter over at Destination Morrowind.
- Updated Links
- I've finally updated the Elder Scrolls Links Page removing all the
old and invalid sites and adding a couple new ones. If you know of a site that should be there,
just let me know.
- CGI Update
- I've updated and reinstalled some CGIs and still working on others. Sorry for
any problems this has caused the past week, will be finished shortly.
|
|
17 June 2000 |
- Morrowind Official Site
- The Official Morrowind site at www.morrowind.com has been updated and
includes a bunch of great new screenshots and an official forum with all sorts of good information.
- Morrowind Construction Set
- The word I hear is that Morrowind will come with a complete editting package (check out the Morrowind site for
some screenshots of it). Of course this means that we will have even less of a life than when Daggerfall came out
(and couldn't be happier about it).
- TESGurus Site
- If you haven't seen the TESGurus Site yet, go on over and check it
out. Created by a bunch of old Elder Scrolls fans, such as Skeleton Man, it contains lots of good information and
is updated regularily (although is still under construction in some parts).
- Finally Returned
- Well, I'vew finally returned from my 2 and a half months working in Africa and will be around another three weeks
before my vacation time. Hopefully I'll get caught up on all the work I've missed.
- E-Mail Problems
- I've lost about 2 months of e-mail due to a problem with my account, so if I didn't reply to your e-mail, its
not because I didn't want to (feel free to resend anything).
- CGI Problems
- I've removed all CGIs temporarily from the web site as some of them were being targetted in hacker attacks against
poor m0use. Sorry for any problems this causes but I'll be looking into the problem with softwind and correcting it
ASAP.
|
|
28 April 2000 |
- World of Tamriel Update
- I've been working lately on the World of Tamriel area, adding
a lot of content and changing the design slightly. Look for more updates over the coming weeks.
- Work Trip Extended
- My work trip to North Africa has been extended from the original two weeks to 9 weeks or so now. I do have
limited (and slow) internet access so I'm still around.
|
|
31 March 2000 |
- Work Trip
- I'll be gone on a work trip to Northern Africa over the next two weeks at least. I may get
a chance to update the pages, but might not.
|
|
30 March 2000 |
- Morrowind Screenshots
- A new interview with artwork and 4 screenshots has been put up over at the
Adrenaline Vault. The same
screenshots can also be found at the updated ElderScrolls.Com
web site. All I can say is WOW! I have a hard time believe some of these are actual
screenshots from the gaming, uterrly amazing, and the game is still far from completion.
|
|
25 March 2000 |
- Morrowind Screenshots
- Word is that some Morrowind screenshots will be found in the next month issues of several gaming
magazines (such as Computer Gaming World). Hopefully there will be some screenshots that will
be released to web sites. I'll be sure to have more information when I hear it.
- Official Elder Scrolls Site
- Check out the Official ES Site for updates in the near future.
- Message Boards
- I've gone from using my own custom message board to one provided by EZBoard. Check out the new
Message Boards for all the latest discussions.
- Script Problems
- There have been a few problems with the various scripts on the site (such as the voting) and they will be
unavailable until I can figure out the solution.
- My Absence
- I do apologize for my absence over the past few months. With not a whole lot of new information to
post on the site and a new job I've been neglecting the site (not to mention EverQuest). As more
information on Morrowind is released I'll be spending more time with the site...honest!
|
|
3 February 2000 |
- Bethesda Interview
- Da GameBoyz has an Interview with Bethesda's Pete Hines (Director of Marketing and Public Relations)
and Todd Vaughn (Director of New Business Development). Nothing specific in the way of Morrowind other than
mentioning they won't be officially announcing the game for some time.
|
|
31 January 2000 |
- Morrowind Information
- Just a little note to get you all caught up in the latest Morrowind rumours. Current release date is sometime in
2001 as the design time for the game was longer than initially expected. Screenshots and other information
are possibly being released shortly, perhaps by a game site or magazine. Whatever news I find I'll be sure to post here,
hopefully some new artwork and features not seen elsewhere.
- New Survey
- A new survey has been added to the site (see below) asking the you which Elder Scrolls game was your
favorite. Take a moment and let us know your opinion!
- EverQuest
- Some of the time I spent in the past couple months has been with EverQuest, a terribly addicting game. I'm proud
to say I have a lvl 49 dwarven cleric, Reorx Holybeard (affectionately known as the Lord of Unrest), on the
Tunare server. Feel free to look me up sometime for a few spells or coins.
|
|
30 January 2000 |
- Site Updates
- I have returned from a lengthy retreat from the site to continue with its updates, hopefully as often as
before. I do not have as much time to spend as in the past but I still hope to keep the site the place
for all your Elder Scrolls news.
- Bethesda Site
- The official Bethesda site at www.bethsoft.com has been updated
with a new look but still no information about Morrowind.
|
|
25 September 1999 |
- Site Search Fixed
- Just noticed that site search script wasn't working so I fixed it and it should be working fine now.
- Personal News
- Just a reminder that for any related news about myself (such as my upcoming trip) will be posted on my personal web page
at www.m0use.netdave/.
|
|
18 September 1999 |
- New Personal Pages
- I've finally created some personal pages about myself and my various interests. Check it out
at Dave's Abode - www.m0use.netdave/.
|
|
28 August 1999 |
- Finally Back
- Well, I've finally got my internet connection at my new place (an ADSL line) but have been
quite busy from moving, school, and my new job. I'll be updating again, slowly, as time permits.
There are a number of new pages updated on the right bar which I hadn't been able to upload until
now, including a short Baldur's Gate review.
- Personal News
- As some of you may be aware, I've recently 'finished' my Masters and have started a job in Mississauga
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada). Truth be told I actually started work before I finished my Masters thesis and
defense so I've been very busy juggling finishing school stuff, moving, and starting a new job. I work at
the Pressure Pipe Inspection Company (PPIC) which developes and operates a new technology to non-destructively
inspect prestressed concrete pressure pipes. The company is one-of-a-kind and is just now starting to receive
attention and new jobs so I'll be travelling around much of time (hence updates may seem slow at times).
Anyways, thought I'd just pass this on for those interested...
|
|
26 July 1999 |
- EverQuest
- For those interested in finding me in EverQuest, I'm on the Tunare server using the character
Reorx Holybeard, a level 40 cleric. Look me up sometime and I'll give you some free buffs.
|
|
25 July 1999 |
- No, I'm Not Dead
- Yes, the rumours of my demise have been greatly exagerated (fortunately). The past few months
have been quite busy for me as will the next few weeks. The combination of finishing my masters
of Physics thesis (woohoo!), getting EverQuest, and vacation time occupied the last couple months.
I now have a job in Toronto which will involve moving and getting a new internet connection and
all that. I hope to move sometime next week and have no idea when I'll be back online (no T1
for me anymore, looking for a cable modem connection hopefully).
Anyways, I'm slowly getting back into things. My IN folder contains some 600 e-mails so it will
take some time to go through them all (urk). I will try my best to answer all that need to be
answered. Once the e-mails are taken care of I'll start back with the updates. Thanks...
|
|
24 April 1999 |
- EverQuest
- Well, the title says what I've been doing recently. This is one addicting game and certainly
well worth the 10$/month fee if you can afford so. Feel free to look me up in the Tunare server
under the name Reorx.
- Morrowind - Interview with a Dalf Elf
- I recently met up with an interesting dark elf and had an informative Interview
with him. Check it out for some insights into the land of Morrowind.
- World of Tamriel
- I'm pleased to announce that the World of Tamriel section has been
taken over by FrostyFlame. He'll be working on updating things so take a look.
|
|
7 April 1999 |
- Andy Taylor No Longer With Bethesda
- I just found out that Andy Taylor, lead programmer on Redguard and Morrowind, is no longer
with Bethesda Softworks. I don't know any details about his departure (why he left and where
he's going) or how this affects Morrowind developement. I'll certainly let you know when I learn
of any furthur information.
|
|
6 April 1999 |
- Magic and Mayhem Site
- I just took a look at the Official Magic and Mayhem site over at
Bethesda. They have a number of impressive screenshots and a few movies/music to download. The game is looking to
be quite a good real time strategy game.
- RPG Reviews
- A few more reviews added to the site's RPG Review page with hopefully
several more on their way. If you'd like to contribute an entire or even just part of a review (comments, features,
a few screenshots, or whatever), please feel free.
- New Site Poll
- Another site poll has been created...finally. This time I'm asking about what type of Morrowind preview would
you prefer to see. The last poll was a good success and seemed to indicate that people have been quite pleased
with Bethesda's software titles, a point which I'm sure they'll be glad about.
|
|
5 April 1999 |
- Morrowind Concept Art
- A few more pictures are up in the Morrowind Concept Artwork
page. I also redesigned the page slightly to make it easier to navigate.
- Tamriellan Pantheons
- I got my hands on an excellent list and description of Tamriellien Gods,
so take a look. Perhaps some of those names will be seen in somewhere in Morrowind.
- Old Arena Interview
- Thanks to Ranger for donating an old Arena Interview with
Bethesda he dug up on his hard drive (dated back to June 1994).
- Redguard Walkthrough
- A bunch of updates to the Redguard walkthrough once again, thanks to Ranger. I'll hopefully get more done as
I continue to finish the game again.
|
|
1 April 1999 |
- News...
- Just thought I'd post something to let you know I'm still around. Lately I've been busy programming
various things and will for some time to come. Nothing much new to report in the Elder Scrolls world...
check out the several new and updated sites in the panel to the right. No Morrowind news...yet, although
you may want to check out The WormHoLE for various
news bits and pictures from GT.
|
24 March 1999 |
- New, Unrelated, Linux Site
- On the whim of a slightly good idea, I've created the Linux Comparison Project
web page. Check it out if you are slightly Linux inclined.
|
|
22 March 1999 |
- Bethesda News
- A bit of news about Bethesda and Morrowind can be found at Desslock's RPG News.
Thanks to Kether of the Daggerfall News Page
for this bit of info.
- Stros M'Kai
- Another excellent fan site has been added to m0use. The Shores
of Stros M'Kai is a well designed Redguard site. Update your bookmarks and check it out.
- UESP Site Poll
- I've run out of good ideas for a new site poll. If you have any ideas or suggestions, just
Let Me Know...Thanks.
- Redguard
- Several Redguard areas have been updated once again.
|
|
16 March 1999 |
- World of Tamriel Area
- Unfortunately, I've been neglecting the World of Tamriel area
due to lack of time. Everything is pretty much ready for use but the actual content has to be added. If any
knowledgable and dedicated citizen would like to work on it, just Let Me Know.
No HTML/web page experience is nessecary, just familiarity with the world of Tamriel. Otherwise, I'll get around
working on it someday...
- Fantasy Dimensions
- For those who haven't found it yet, check out Alrin's Fantasy Dimensions
web page with RPG related artwork, stories and other things. Also take a look at his
Daggerfall News Page for the latest events
in the DF community.
- Daggerfall Books
- The DF Books page has been updated to include links to most
of the books. Thanks to Tengu for making his Online DF Books available.
- Arena Items List
- The Arena Items List page, containing close to 2200 items and their
store locations has been updated and redesigned. Each item type is on a seperate page making it a little easier to
navigate.
|
|
15 March 1999 |
- Morrowind Concept Art
- Another brand new Morrowind art picture up on the MW Concept Art page.
|
|
10 March 1999 |
- Morrowind Concept Art
- Four new Morrowind art pics up on the MW Concept Art page.
Also added the MW Pocket Guide page consisting of the pages from
the Pocket Guide to the Empire which Bethesda released as a preview to Redguard some time ago.
|
|
8 March 1999 |
I apologize for the lateness of this update...I've been working on a 'big' update and some enitivable delays came up.
Hopefully soon, so stay tuned.
- Redguard Updates
- The usual abundance of Redguard updates are present. Added the RG SYSTEM.INI
since several people inquired about the SYSTEM.INI file and the options therein.
- Daggerfall Stores Database
- A start of the DF Stores Database page has been started.
Although most of the store data hasn't been added yet, this page will let you sort and display lots of DF stores
in various manners. Will hopefully add the bulk of the stores database created by Cypher shortly.
|
|
25 February 1999 |
- Counter Stats
- The Site Statistics page now shows the counter stats for the
HTML documents, downloadable files, and images in seperate catagories. The counter has been quite useful
so far in determining which areas are receiving the most hits, and thus, where I should concentrate my efforts.
- Main Page Design
- Slight update to the main page, although I'm still not sure I like it...sigh.
- Redguard Updates
- The Redguard Characters, Redguard Bestiary,
and Redguard Walkthrough pages have been significantly updated again.
|
|
24 February 1999 |
- RPG Reviews
- The first complete RPG review of the game Return to Krondor
has been added to the Site Reviews page. Many thanks to Alrin for
his very complete review. More game reviews will be added as time permits.
|
|
22 February 1999 |
- Redguard Updates
- Many update to the Redguard pages, and much more to come. The Redguard Characters
page has been updated with some new NPCs from the game, and I'll be adding more as I play through it again. Similarily, the
Redguard Bestiary has been created for all the NPCs and creatures you
face on your journey. A few pages in the Redguard Walkthrough have been
updated, and the rest will be improved in the near future for a more complete guide. The Redguard Map
page has been started and will contain a complete map of the island with all the points of interested clearly labelled.
- RPG Reviews
- I've finally started the RPG Reviews section on the site like I've been
planning/wanting to for a while. Not much there at the moment, but over the near future I hope to add brief reviews of recent,
and older, RPGs (in order to help you determine what's the best way to waste some time until Morrowind is released...:).
If you'd like to contribute a full or partial review on a CRPG, just Contact Me.
|
|
19 February 1999 |
- Morrowind Interview
- Check out the Morrowind Interview
on the HOA site with several locals from the land (ie, the developers at Bethesda). Very interesting so go and take a look. Also
note that the HOA is expecting some more art for the game soon.
|
|
17 February 1999 |
- Updates
- Finally added the item cheats for Redguard on the
Redguard Cheats page.
- Lots of other little updates on various pages and scripts.
|
|
16 February 1999 |
- The BattleRealm
- The BattleRealm, run by Lord Ravana, has also made m0use his new home at
www.m0use.net/~battlerealm/. As usual, the site is updated
regularily with all the latest RPG and gaming news.
- Customize Site
- A few options to customize the appearance of the site, among other things, can be found on the
Customize Site page (requires Javascript/cookies).
- Updates
- Updated the Site FAQ finally.
- Updated the Site Info page and added the
Site Statistics page which includes a display of
counts for all the pages in the site.
|
|
14 February 1999 |
- Plan Site Update
- I've received 40+ emails supporting the plan site but the more the merrier.
E-Mail Me a short message supporting this and I'll forward it on
to the appropiate people at Bethesda...
- Julian Lefay
- The original creator and lead programmer of the Elder Scrolls series has resurfaced over at
Fenris Wolf. He's involved in creating a Traveller CRPG, a sci-fi
pen-and-paper RPG which evolved around the same time as the original AD&D. Thanks to the TES for this bit of news.
- Morrowind
- I've finally updated the Morrowind section removing much of the outdated information
and adding a few goodies, like a concept map which popped up over at the TES. Much more to come in the upcoming weeks
and months so stay tuned. Make sure you check out the art and preview section for lots of new stuff. Also note the
standard image display page I whipped up for displaying images (no more ugly screenshots on a white background).
- Hall of Adventurers
- The HoA has completed a big update along with some great
information on Morrowind.
- I Need Help...
- Several times in the past I've called for anyone willing to aid me maintain this site, unfortunately with
no success. Qualifications are't that strict, you just have to be quite familiar with HTML, an avid Elder Scrolls
fan, and a little extra time. If interested, E-Mail Me for more information.
Thanks... I can still maintain the site by myself but often things are left much longer than I wish them to be. Also,
in the upcoming months I'll be working on my Masters of Physics thesis so time for me might become very tight. An extra
head/hand or two around would help emensemely.
- Updates
- The omission of the Chapter 3 Suggestions page in the major overhaul
has been corrected.
|
|
11 February 1999 |
- Major Overhaul
- Although it may not look so at first glance, but the entire site has gone a quite thorough
overhaul. All files have been converted to SHTML and all scripts have been updated. This took
quite some doing as you can imagine, but hopefully everything still works minus the few links
I'm sure I forgot to change. Although it doesn't change the appearance, this will make the
site easier to manage among other things. Here are a few of the things which have changed or
were added.
- 99% of the files use the identical header and footer files. This, along with the much improved style
sheet, creates a much more consistent site design which I've been aiming for. It will also greatly simplify
changing the design if I so desire.
- I've finally added a counter to every page like I've been wanting to for some time. This will allow
me to see which pages are used most/least. The counter is text included via the SSI so don't worry about
pages loading more slowly. It can be found at the bottom of every page. I'll try to get a simple viewing
script working so the stats for all the pages can be viewed by anyone.
- I've created a simple Contact Form to make it easier to
submit comments or contributions to the site. It also includes a few nifty things like telling me
which page the user came from in order to better help me reply.
- All the changes will make the 'plans' I'm considering for the near future more possible.
- Future changes include creating a custom SSI wrapper for all of the regular text files on the site
so a counter can be included for those as well. Also a counter of some sort for all the downloadable
files (editors, patches, etc...).
Above all, I'm still trying to maintain small file sizes and compatability with most browsers and versions
(definitely not an easy thing to do). Generally any browser that supports style-sheets will be able to
successfully view the site as I intend it to. Without a style-sheet capable browser thing might look a
little plain, but still viewable. While javascript is not required to view the site, there are a few
sections which do make good use of it and is recommended.
If you'd like to comment on the changes or point out a broken link or error (there always seems to be
one somewhere), feel free to use the nifty new Contact Form,
Thanks!
- MyUESP
- For the few of you that do have accounts in MyUESP section, the above changes may break much of
that section and prevent it from working. At any rate the MyUESP will most likely be phased out
in the future changes.
- Message Board
- The Message Board script was completely changed and display format
improved slightly. Because of this,
all the previous messages have been deleted. This was much easier given the 40+ messages present. Please,
do feel free to use the discussion area to post anything you desire, not nessecaril limited to just ES topics.
I'll do my best to use it more myself since I admit to having neglected it in the past.
- Plan Site Update
- The response has been good to the Bethesda plan site news, but please continue to send in e-mails to support
it. The more we get, the more likely it will happen.
- Updates
- A couple of nice vampire playing tips added to the DF Vampire/Lycanthropy page.
- Small update to the furniture stores section on the DF Hints page.
- Added a new Daggerfall savegame editor, DagEd v1.28 to the DF Files Area.
Lots of great features so check it out if you can.
|
|
9 February 1999 |
- Bethesda Plan Site
- The developers of Morrowind at Bethesda are trying to get the suits to put back up the Bethesda plan site.
This would allow the developers to give unofficial and personal news to all the Elder Scrolls fans. What is
needed is to make known that there is public interest in the plan sites. What you can do at present is
E-Mail Me a short 'give us a plan site' letter and I'll compile
and send them on towards Bethesda. We need as many contributions as possible so tell your friends and
make it known.
