Repair weapons. Help

Archived from groups: alt.games.morrowind (More info?)

Hi everyone,

I've be playing MW on xbox for some time now, and I just bought
the pc version so I could use the construction set. I'm at level 3.

My problem is that I can't seem to repair any weapons/armor.
I have tongs, Journ... hammers, and can bring up the window
that show what needs repairing. I can scroll thru them, but I
can't use the hammer. Do I need to be at a higher level? I never
had a problem with xbox doing repairs. I'm assuming the left mouse
button is the use button, no go. I tried space bar, and all the other
keys, but no go.

any ideas?

The little paragraph on p29 does not show anything special.

Thanks,
El Boa

I don't think that will work. What I do is select the hammer or tongs
that I want to use and drop that on my character. That brings up the
list of things which can be repaired. Then I left-click on the item I
want to repair After the report of success or failure, I keep
clicking until I run out of hammers and tongs, or everything is
repaired.

When I select a damage item and equip it. It does not repair.
If I select the repair hammers and equip them, I get the repair
screen, but the left mouse click does not work. Now I am
thinking I may have a problem with the mouse. I am using
MS optical wheel mouse.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
El Boa

Yes

Is there a restriction on the character/race one is using?
I set this one up as a wood elf being a theif. Maybe he
is too weak to pick up hammer. <grin>

That was it!!!

Thanks! I guess I was so use to be able to click anywhere in the xbox
version that I did not try just the icon. Sweet! I was not looking
forward to having to return to the "smith" all the time.

Hats off to you.
