OpenMW: An open source engine for playing improved Morrowind

[OpenMW]

Happy New Year from the OpenMW team! I hope 2013 may be as fruitful as 2012, and maybe we have a v1.0 release in it. I must say I'm very excited at the recent activity at the OpenMW forums lately, the holidays have brought us an influx of new developers and it's already showing off.
Work on the example suite will be starting soon when Greendogo has compiled a .bsa file for all assets we will use. I wonder if we will ever have a head of stories, scripts, characters etc. .

So, we're 4 years far now, we've seen a lot of ups and downs, as I'm sure the TR-team has, but we're nearly there, as I'm sure you guys aren't .
To conclude this post we've (actually WeirdSexy, but shtt, we don't want him to think to highly of himself, or he will be making video's for projects that have a far bigger fan community than ours!) made a video about what four years of programming looks like.

This is actually a really impressive release by the looks of that video, the game will soon be totally playable!

[gro-Dhal]

[*]Fixed Tauryon growing in size every time the player enters/exits a nearby house

Leave that in, it sounds awesome

[karpik777]

[*]Fixed Tauryon growing in size every time the player enters/exits a nearby house

Leave that in, it sounds awesome

Better yet, make it an option for future modders to use.

[TheLexicon]

LOL This will probably be finished before I get my new computer

Reading the update, it sounds like it's changing a lot of Morrowind's gameplay to be more like Skyrim (companion inventory). Will the mod do that? And should I get it before playing through vanilla Morrowind?

[greendogo]

Create a script attached to an NPC:
begin companionscript
short companion

set companion to 1

end companionscript

[OpenMW]

[*]Fixed Tauryon growing in size every time the player enters/exits a nearby house

Leave that in, it sounds awesome

Reading the update, it sounds like it's changing a lot of Morrowind's gameplay to be more like Skyrim (companion inventory). Will the mod do that? And should I get it before playing through vanilla Morrowind?

What can I say,
most importantly, it's not a mod, it's an open-source RPG engine based on the original Morrowind one. Post/pre v1.0 releases won't include any changes to gameplay but are aimed to make the mechanisms of the game/engine easier to mod (with the help of the editor), better graphics and other stuff. Changes that include different gameplay will not be released under the name of OpenMW (although we have some people with ideas who will start to work on them once v1.0 is out)

[TheLexicon]

Ah. I see. I kinda assumed you guys would change the gameplay, if only to make it more immersive (objects outside of inventory can be moved and thrown like in Oblivion, attacks actually hit, blades can be tipped with poisons). That's my wishlist, BTW.
I called it a mod because I didn't know what else to call it. Sorry for my technological ignorance.

I wish you all at OpenMW good luck, and swift fingers!

[OpenMW]

Since you guys are obviously all subscribed to our youtube channel and check out our site close to every day, this news won't come as a surprise, and my work here might be obsolete. Still, if any of you have any questions, ask them, and be enlightened.

Great release video. Also downloaded and tried the 0.26 version. I really enjoyed it. The shaders are a bit rough compared to MGEXE, but that will change I guess.

The framerate of the higher density cells at TR, like the forest area we have in our latest release, doesn't seem to improve much. What are your expectations on that side? The low-end 2002 models should run at a higher fps right?

Really enjoyed the combat! Big leap forward to a playable game. Keep it up guys.

[Gez]

The combat sequence really sells the video. Spears! Spears! SPEEEAAAAAARRRS!

[OpenMW]

The framerate of the higher density cells at TR, like the forest area we have in our latest release, doesn't seem to improve much. What are your expectations on that side? The low-end 2002 models should run at a higher fps right?

There is still a lot of work to be done on performance, but we are first prioritizing a feature complete OpenMW. And since we are almost there, it won't be long now before we start working on these bottlenecks which are slowing the engine down. The release of Ogre 2.0 will also bring forth a nice performance boost.

Considering how far along you guys seem to be, I would have thought you'd be further along in version number than 0.27.0! I do really love seeing what's new in each update, though

[OpenMW]

All a happy New Year! May 2014 be a year full of exciting releases. Of course I'm not just posting here for the wishes, it's time for an update. Hooray!

[OpenMW]

Good news everyone!

The version 0.37 of OpenMW was released today, grab it while it's hot on our download page!

This release brings the long-anticipated implementation of the OpenSceneGraph renderer! More info on this 3d graphics toolkit can be found on the [url=http://www.openscenegraph.org/]OSG website[/url]. Hats off to scrawl, one of our lead developers, for the Herculean amount of effort he put in working on this massive codebase change! The new renderer brings a massive performance speedup, as well as many graphical fixes and improvements.

You may notice that shadows are not re-implemented at this time, as well as distant land and object shaders, but we wanted to get the release out rather than delay any further! These features will be re-added soon! This release brings many other changes and bugfixes, as well as a huge amount of new work done on OpenCS, the editor for OpenMW. Some features are missing from OpenCS as well: only basic camera controls are implemented, pathgrid and cell marker rendering is missing, as well as instance moving. Since the changelog is massive, it's available on this page instead of being pasted here.

Feel free to comment if you find bugs or weird issues.

Ho, and by the way, I'm quite sure that Tamriel Rebuilt should be completely playable on OpenMW

Great news! I am really looking forward to test this in some of our more dense cells. Hopefully this will make some of our lands more playable.


Keep up the good work lads!
