Technical

For those of you who are affected by the many bugs and crashes that plague Morrowind, I advise trying the tips on this excellent Tweaktown guide. It should at least reduce your crash rate.
The console is a valuable tool for fixing bugs and errors. Unfortunately, it can be hard to use. Here are a selection of useful console commands, as well as some other handy tips.

- Hold TAB and swing mouse to control the camera in third person.

- To activate screenshots, go to morrowind.ini, and change Screen Shot Enable=0 to Screen Shot Enable=1. Now pressing print screen will take a screenshot.

To use the console commands use the "`" (tilde key) and a text box opens.

- TCL will turn off collisions, very useful for when you or an NPC becomes stuck.

- Fixme will remove you from any pieces of scenery you are attached to, and place you on solid ground, free to move.

- Player-> AddItem "Exact_Item_ID" #(number of items you are adding) will place an item in your inventory. Use the editor to find the ID code. Useful for when you lose a quest item.

- Typing in "RA" resets actors, which means that all NPCs come back to life and stand in their original positions in the cell. Useful for removing people who are blocking doorways, or for returning NPCs who have disappeared (like Jimmy [the third?] the gentleman thief). Thanks to the multitude who pointed this out to me.

- Type 'coc "Area_ID"' to teleport to another location. Saves travelling through outdoor areas that cause crashes.

- Type 'player->raiserank "guild ID"' to go up a rank in a guild. Useful for dodging bugs that stop you advancing, like the old Trebonius one in pre-patch days

- Use of 'player->lowerrank "Guild ID"' can be used to get around the Telvanni master / magister problem.

- PCJoinFaction "guild ID" let's you join guilds that you are not allowed to, such as multiple great houses, or as a way around guild conflicts. Thanks to Helcallach.

- Stopcombat and "Setfight 100" when an NPC is selected in the console will stop and start a fight with that NPC.

- Addtopic "Topic Name" adds set topics to the target's dialogue, even if you do not meet the requirements for that topic to be shown. Useful for strange circumstances when topics do not appear correctly.

- Type 'help' in the console for a small list of other commands.

- There is further console info in the TESCS (that's the editor) help file.
