UMP- bugfix mod section for Morrowind
This is a proposal to add the UMP- The Unofficial Morrowind Patch to the Mods
Quote: What it is:
"The Unofficial Morrowind Patch (UMP) fixes almost all of the bugs and problems with Morrowind and its expansions. While the official patches by Bethesda only fixed a couple of dozen bugs, this patch fixes several hundred. The goal of this patch is to make the game completely bug-free (within the abilities of the TESCS)."
WHAT IT DOES
The Unofficial Morrowind Patch does following: Fix any bugs in the quests that make them incompletable or skip you ahead. Correct spelling & grammar mistakes in the dialogue and object names, and give them a uniform appearance. Make global scripts end when they are no longer needed. Make quests be marked as Finished so they no longer appear in the Active Quest list when they should be. Correct any mesh or texture problems in the objects. Correct incorrect subtitles Add any objects that were not included in the ESM files, but were included on the game CDs Fixes many other bugs and problems with the game" [1]
Discussion moved from Wrye's talk page:
Wrye, I posted this a few weeks back with no reponse, is this (still) worthwhile?
Would it be OK to add an unofficial bug fix section similar to what is done for Oblivion? I am thinking of the following: The UMP is highly regarded in the community, and fixes a lot of annoyances. I think it would be a great addition to Tes3Mod. There is no contact info given on the site, not sure what needs to be done to get permission. Any thoughts?

- First, you should checkout this discussion if you haven't already. That's the archive of where we were discussing adding UOP documentation. Then, you should probably bring the subject up on the Community Portal.
- Second, I'm pretty rusty on my Morrowind stuff, but generally, it seems like a good idea. A few specific thoughts though: I recall that there was a second competing patch (that was less large? maybe it was incorporated?). This confuses the situation somewhat compared to Oblivion (where there is only one mega-patch). That may warrant consideration.
- In short, bring the idea up on the community portal to see what the reaction is. If there are no objections, I'd say go ahead. --Wrye 01:49, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

- I'd like to get some input before creating the page in Tes3Mod:Mods. Also, if anyone has a way of contacting the author, I'd like to hear his opinion. As to wether to then integrate what the mod fixes into the Morrowind pages, that would be a separate discussion. For now, I think a page with a general description and a link to the specifics would be enough. --Benould•T•C 11:09, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

Update
An email was send to the author thanking him and informing him of the link placement, so far no response. A template has been created for easy addition to affected page, {{UMP}}. This concludes the discussion, if there is no further input within a week, please archive.--Benould•T•C 23:40, 4 July 2008 (EDT)
