TES III : Morrowind Inventory Management Tool

Work in Progress

Prerequisites

• A game copy of "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind"

• g++ compiler (C++ compiler)

  • Installation guide: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw

• MWSE (Morrowind Script Extender)

  • Installation: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45468 (Nexus Mods)

  • Follow the mod requirements listed on this mod webpage to ensure compatability.

How to compile?

If you have g++ installed, you can compile the program using the following command from the ./Morrowind-Inventory-Manager directory:

UPDATE FOLLOWING COMMAND TO INCLUDE NEW CLASSES

g++ -g ./classes/item.cpp ./classes/equippable.cpp ./classes/armor.cpp ./classes/weapon.cpp ./classes/thieves_tool.cpp ./classes/clothing.cpp ./classes/misc.cpp ./classes/soul_gem.cpp ./classes/apparatus.cpp ./classes/light.cpp main.cpp -o inventoryManager

This will produce an executable inventoryManager.exe which you can run by clicking on it, or using a terminal window like Command Line (cmd) etc.

If your system supports shell, you can instead run the compile.sh script by clicking on the file, or by typing the following command on a shell-compatible terminal window:

sh compile.sh

The above script only works inside the ./Morrowind-Inventory-Manager folder, and not within any subdirectories. Additionally, the script will not compile the code if the program is running, so make sure to exit the program before compiling.

Where to place the Lua script inside the inventoryExplorer folder?

Copy the entire folder inventoryExplorer into the following directory:

PATH/TO/GAME/Morrowind/Data Files/MWSE/mods

Once placed here, the contained Lua script is triggered to work when successfully loading a save inside the game. The following message will appear, every time a save file is loaded, to indicate that the Lua script is correctly working:

"Exporting inventory items ..."

The inventory items of the playable character in the save file will be stored in a text file called inventory_output.txt, which will be produced in the same directory as the Lua script ./inventoryExplorer inside the ./mods folder.

The path for this text file can be changed by editing the following value in the main.lua script:

local filePath = "./Data Files/MWSE/mods/inventoryExporter/inventory_output.txt"
