Okay... I was kinda afraid to ask this, since I know I am highly ignorant in some areas of modding, and I fear someone trying to explain it to me, but that I may not be able to understand it... I don't want to seem as though, I am a imperceptive person, not seeing something obvious despite it being clearly explained... But if I never take this risk, I may never figure out a vital part of modding so here it goes.
A few questions I'll ask, I've done several searches, and either I am missing something obvious, or some parts of modding are more complex than I imagined.
1. How to I add new textures? How do I add new meshes? Do I need to download something? And are there any screenshots, of particularly how to make ones first texture, or mesh? It may be obvious to some, but if anyone had any, any tutorials, of how to make a texture, and mesh for a fairly new modder, for the first time, with several screenshots, of what to click /etc/, may help me a lot. I apologize again, if I seem like I am asking obvious questions.
2. Is there any way to add, New Exteriors in Morrowind? Say I want to build a Island, just a bit smaller than Solsthiem right to the east of Sadrith Mora, but a few more cells to the east, which would probably be someone like "Wilderness-7-10" or something along those lines... When I look through the Wilderness parts, how do I tell where it is on Morrowinds maps, and get the right one? I might want to add a few Islands, fairly far away from Morrowinds main landmass, as to not interfere with anything in Morrowinds main landmass itself.
3. Would there be any easy way, of giving a NPC, a "Follow me" "Stay here" option, through Dialogue? Can one easilly and fairly swiftly edit one NPCs dialogue without effecting any others? Say for example, I only want one NPC to have two options available when talking to them.
4. What is hex editing and how do I do it? Will I need to download anything? Remember I am completely new to this stuff.
5. How do I add a dialogue to a none human NPC, say I want to give a Dremora, a option to talk, and a "Follow me", and "Wait here" options. And is there any script I could add to respawning NPC's to make them fight each other, everytime, a player loads the cell the NPC's are in?
I won't add any more questions for now, and I deeply apologize if any of these are obvious questions, but these are the main things, I was focusing on in the mod I am making.
Edit: I am not expecting EVERYTHING, to be answered, but I hope I can find a few answers for a few of my questions.
