Section [General]

Effect of the High Detail Shadows

Setting	Default Value	Info
AllowYesToAll	1	Add this line to add a "Yes To All" option in error messages. This setting effects both the game and the Construction Set. After clicking "Yes To All" once all other error messages during this session will be supressed.
High Detail Shadows	1	Add this line to render shadows with much more details.
Show FPS	0	Set this to 1 to show the frames per second in the lower right side of the screen.
Max FPS	240	Sets the maximum frames per second. Should only be lowered for an increase in stability, or if you'd like to see a more readable frame rate when Show FPS is enabled. Setting this to the refresh rate of your monitor may reduce screen jerkiness while playing the game. Values: 0 - 240
TryArchiveFirst	0	This setting determines from which source Morrowind tries to load the game data. It can load from the *.bsa archives or it can load extracted data (that could be copied with the Construction Set instalation if you had the original version not the GOTY). Values: -1 = Do not load archives, 0 = Load newer version, 1 = Only load archives
SkipProgramFlows	0	unknown
DontThreadLoad	0	This setting enables or disables loading cells in a thread. If DontThreadLoad is disabled, cells will be loaded in the background without a loading bar, but it can cause some jerkiness. Values: 0 = No, 1 = Yes
ThreadPriority	-1	This setting is the priority of the loading thread if DontThreadLoad is set to 0. Setting this to 0 will cause the thread to run at normal priority, a negative value will cause the thread run at a lower than normal priority and a positive number will cause the thread to run at a higher priority than normal. A lower priority (negative value) will give the main thread more CPU resources, but will increase loading time, a positive number will give the cell loading thread more CPU resources but will cause the main thread to run slower, and 0 will give them equal CPU resources. It is suggested to set this to a negative value.
ThreadSleepTime	4	This is the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the cell loading thread will 'sleep' between iterations. The loading thread constantly loops to see if a cell needs to be loaded and sleeps between iterations to reduce the CPU resources used. A lower value will increase the amount of iterations per second at the main thread's expense. The default value is advised, but if you are experiencing performance issues, you can try slowly increasing this value. Values: Positive integer
Clip One To One Float	1	unknown
Flip Control Y	0	That this to 1 to invert the control of the y axis. Can be set ingame through Options -> Controls. Values: 0 = Do not flip, 1 = Flip y axis
SkipKFExtraction	1	unknown

Disable Audio	0	This setting completely disables audio if set to 1.
Background Keyboard	0	Setting this value to 1 will cause Morrowind to not lock the keyboard to the Morrowind process so you can use windows functions such as alt-tab.
Use Joystick	0	Setting this value to 1 will enable the use of a joystick. It is advised to have this disabled if you are not using a joystick.
Joystick X Turns	0	Defines the action with the joystick that enables a turn around the x (up-down) axis. Values: 0 = none, 1 = translation on x axis (up-down), 2 = translation on y axis (forward-backward), 3 = translation on z axis (left-right), 4 = rotation on x axis, 5 = rotation on y axis, 6 = rotation on z axis
Joystick Look Up/Down	6	Defines the action with the joystick that enables looking up ans down. Values: 0 = none, 1 = translation on x axis (up-down), 2 = translation on y axis (forward-backward), 3 = translation on z axis (left-right), 4 = rotation on x axis, 5 = rotation on y axis, 6 = rotation on z axis
Joystick Look Left/Right	3	Defines the action with the joystick that enables looking left and right. Values: 0 = none, 1 = translation on x axis (up-down), 2 = translation on y axis (forward-backward), 3 = translation on z axis (left-right), 4 = rotation on x axis, 5 = rotation on y axis, 6 = rotation on z axis
Screen Shot Enable	0	If this is set to 1, you can simply hit the print screen key to take screen shots ingame. You will find them in your Morrowind root directory as *.bmp.
Screen Shot Base Name	ScreenShot	This is the name of the screenshot file, renaming this renames the default name of a screen shot when taken. Values: Any text.
Screen Shot Index	0	This is the number that is placed after the text of the screenshot name. It increments as you take screen shots. Resetting this value to a lower integer will overwrite existing screenshots! Values: Any positive integer.
Create Maps Enable	0	Allows you to create maps. Setting this to 1 will have no effect unless you also create a subdirectory called 'Maps' within your 'Morrowind' directory. If this directory exists, you can then open the console and type CreateMaps "Morrowind.esm" to generate maps of all of the exterior locations. This will include the Solstheim landmass added by Bloodmoon and any other landmass additions or alterations made by third-party mods.
Beta Comment File		Allows you to create beta comments ingame. First you must create a new text file in the Morrowind directory. Now enter the name of this text file as value in the ini. In the game you can open the console and select a object. With the command bc "Beta Comment Text" (using your comment instead of Beta Comment Text) you can add a beta comment to the mentioned text file. The beta comment will include the id of the object, its position in the game world (cell name and coordinates), the date and time of the comment and your entered text. Value: Name of any existing text file in the Mowworind directiry, e.g. betacomment.txt.
Interior Cell Buffer	10	This setting governs the number of interior cells buffered. Increasing this number reduces reloads if you often change between the same cells. Values: Any positive integer.
Exterior Cell Buffer	32	This setting governs the number of exterior cells buffered. Increasing this number reduces reloads if you often change between the same cells. Values: Any positive integer.
Number of Shadows	6	This setting governs the maximum number of shadows which can be rendered at a time. Values: Any positive integer.

Section [MenuStates]

This section gives options to change the position, size and behavior of the different menu windows. As these settings are not really understood only a general idea of the structur of an entry is given.

Each entry consists of 4 blocks of information. The first is always the number 1.7. The second and third block each consist of 4 float numbers between 0.0 and 1.0. The last block consists of 3 boolean values.

Example: MenuMagic

• 1st block: 1.7

• The meaning of the first block is unknown.

• 2nd block: 0.36 0.88 0.50 0.15

• The meaning of the second block is unknown.

• 3rd block: 0.36 0.51 0.98 0.79

• First value: width of the window in fraction of sreen width
• Second value: height of window in fraction of screen height
• Third value: horizontal position of the window
• Fourth value: vertical position of the window

• 4th block: 0 1 0

• First value: 0 = windows position and size are loaded from Ini, 1 = window will be positioned in the center of the window with default size
• Second value: 0 = window will be displayed even if menu is closed (window is pinned), 1 = window will close with menu
• Third value: unknown
• If the second and third value are both 1 the window cannot be displayed in the game.

Note: Not all menu windows seem to be effected from changes to this values.
