OpenMW = good Skywind = shit

I've been using OpenMW for a while and it's great. Most mods even work with it.
Skywind is just is one of those meme projects that will never be finished.

>OpenMW = good Skywind = shit
Is this even a debate at this point? Wasn't Skywind exposed as a scam for "aspiring developers" to put in their CV to get a real job in the industry? I even remeber anons on Yea Forums posting about their expirience there (does anyone have a screencap?).
Skyblivion on the other handi s actually showing progress and i still have a hope it will be finished one day.

1.0.0 when

fuck 1.0.0, shadows when?

Next version.

This was 2017, what's the story NOW?

Skyblivion is far more likely to happen simply because Oblivion isn't a world away from Skyrim in mechanics and structure and a lot can be easily replicated, really. The expectations are lower and the goals are more realistic. Oh, and they work often.

So, for a technically illiterate user like myself, what exactly is OpenMW?

Open source engine for Bethesda games

Shadows are in the nightlies already where the fuck you been?

It already does Oblivion and Skyrim to a small degree, it's not evolved far enough but there's an open door to achieve it.

user, it's a whole new engine based off reverse engineering how morrowind's executable works, and file formats for beth's garbage

the fact it's even possible to get this far is exceptionally impressive. it's significantly easier to just write a brand new engine and disregard the original intent altogether and just make it simulate morrowind's engine, not attempt to be morrowind's engine.. if that makes any sense to you

This. Waiting on my first playthrough for now.

I doubt Skywind will probably ever come out. Skyblivion, maybe in 2-3 years. It's a much less ambitious project and they don't have to remake so much from scratch because a lot of the assets still hold up.

How is multiplayer?

Do you like Morrowind, but multiplayer?

I'd like to know about it, hence I'm asking.

I am confident that one day I will be able to sit my grandchild on my lap and play TR with the whole of Morrowind together.

>OpenMW is not only about Morrowind either, it interfaces with Oblivion/Fallout 3/FNV/Skyrim data files now and it also allows people to create their own "Bethesda open world games" too.
Example of good project then.

Give it a year or two.

mechanically it's a dumpster fire in exploit city. If you actually have a group of people who don't fuck each other for no reason/only when it's really funny it can be really good.

Game is already fully playable.

Have it achieved distant land rendering heights of MGE?

Yes.

The problem isn't that assets age, the problem is that the asset ripping is illegal. Skyblivion team has to remake everything from scratch

Was an amateur VO aiming to help out Skywind several years ago, especially due to loving that raspy vocal fry quality of Baker's vocals in Morrowind. Except the guy leading the voice shit had a stupid fucking system and had his head way up himself. Instead of assigning roles on auditions, they just handed it to whoever asked first. Mic quality? Who cares! He actually thought noise removal via audacity would be fine for everyone. Totally wouldn't make the whole project dissonant as fuck, right?

And then he had the gall to give me a 24 hour deadline for my lines of three characters. This was about four years ago. Sure glad to see I left that when the writing was on the wall.

>brainlets think that 0.45.0==45% completion

I wouldn't be surprised if 0.46 becomes 1.0 at this point. Right now shadows and some minor bug fixes are all that's needed.

damn that shit looks awesome, will there be mods to fix the god awful npcs animations, they still suck massive balls.

don't wait, the game is 100% playable with open mw in its current state with no bugs or glitches that i've seen in 40 hours

it's incredibly stable too, never crashed or froze up once

No, animating is hard. Anyone decent is going to want to be paid to do it well.

They need to fix spell collision and the fact that if you jump and your framerate isn't capped at 60 it consumes a shit ton more stamina than it should

Opinions on this man?

incel that's on the verge of snapping

If only there were a Bethesda game with good gameplay. New Vegas with ProjectNV is in my humble opinion the closest we ever got to that.

Yes. There's a whole new animation system that I'd allow modders would just replace animation assets from games with good animations or at least better ones.

Rip some animations out of Gothic, Witcher 2/3 and maybe even Dragon Age Origins, import them into Morrowind's data files and call it a day.

Try Daggerfall Unity.

I don't think that's how it works at all...

Modding OPENMW is a pain, this is the greatest disadvantage it has.

Oy vey!

Daggerfall has good gameplay how, exactly?

how about a morrowind remake on anything else but netimmerse/gamebryo/creationengine.

Daggerfall always had good gameplay

That's literally what this is you idiot

Wrong. Their main focus now is to increase modding capability.

>That's literally what this is you idiot
havent looked into openmw that much. I was assuming it was some kind of open source thing that just mimics netimmerse 1:1

Not him but it did. Morrowind was a step backwards in everything but world building and story.

An argument could be made that scaling down the world was a good thing but I think they went too far with downsizing it.

netimmerse is fucking garbage. its modularity is nice but other than that its a heaping pile of shit.

You are dumb motherfucker.

It's an open source engine that interfaces with Morrowind's data files and mimics the Construction Set.

A year or two into the future you'll be able to modify every single component in Morrowind and make your own standalone games with it so it's basically a make your own Bethesda game engine.

I still don't understand how you can think Daggerfall has good gameplay

Morrowind already exists

user pls we already have know you have no idea what you're talking about

Nope, the engine is still years away from being anywhere near complete, and there are currently no real plans to provide a new model/animation format, highlight on real because there are plans to replace them but they are extremely vague and there is no plan in place, and currently no-one is working on this, which is an absolute shame because .nif is an absolute pain to work with.

That's not going to happen at all, 1.0 needs to have feature parity with Vanilla MW, and there are still lots of standout problems that need to be addressed that haven't been touched in years, on top of this 1.0 won't release until OpenCS is feature complete.

Real shame that this is using Unity, and that the modders working on it have no standards at least visually.

Wait for Morrowind dehardcoded, once that's done I'll be expanding my overhaul mod into combat to make it more like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic mixed with some minor dice roll elements.

I don't think you can go full hack and slash with it because it wasn't intended to be that way without a far bigger overhaul than I'm planning to do.

My mod interfaces with Skyrim Home of the Nords, Province Cyrodiil and Tamriel Rebuilt so no thanks. It has to remain somewhat vanilla.

>That's not going to happen at all, 1.0 needs to have feature parity with Vanilla MW

>I'll be expanding my overhaul mod into combat to make it more like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic mixed with some minor dice roll elements.
Big if true. Godspeed user modder.

It doesn't.

It's able to read Morrowind's file archives, as far as engine goes, it's a completely new engine, and it's actually kind of shit, it runs like shit and it looks like shit, and physics are implemented extremely poorly, recently some mad lad from Japan came in and optimized the fuck out of the game allowing for significantly more efficient distant terrain as well as optimizing a bunch of other features and improving them including shadows

DFUnity fell for it.

Check bug tracker, 1.0 is being used as a lock to be a complete replacement for Vanilla MW, past that 1.0 will be made available with only bugfixes and post 1.0 version will become the main focus, there's already a plan for post 1.0, it's not the best but it's been fixed, initially the lead dev was going to upgrade MW script and ignore MWSE, but then the MWSE V2 developer stepped in and managed to while arguing against a wall made of gen x boomer sycophants convince the team that implementing a Lua based scripting language as the standard while keeping MWscript as an unsupported legacy aspect was the best thing to do going forwards.

I just don’t bother anymore.

I'm pretty sure you're the chim guy, how are you going to make the combat like dark messiah without being able to ragdoll enemies? the combat needs to be improved anyway, you shouldn't be able to freely knock enemies over with ease.

>takes diceroll at disadvantage
>fails a roll
Wew lad :sippsstaminapotion:

There are some initial physics tests for OpenMW.

No but halbe is a good friend of mine IRL and we're kind of working in tandem. Morrowind has a bright future ahead of it once it's dehardcoded.

I'm not only doing it for Morrowind, I'm going to use it as the foundation for combat in my standalone RPG built in OpenMW. OpenCS 1.0 can't come soon enough desu

How's your space game coming along?

Reasonable, you can only say the same thing so many times.

Physics are coming to OpenMW. It's just a matter of time. Worst case scenario I go for directional combat inspired by Mountain Blade until physics are implemented.

I'm definitely changing the combat system up though as soon as humanly possible.

Working on stuff for a live demo that I'll be doing at a con.

I'm just hoping they go for ragdolls rather than everything physics. Most items don't need them.

That's not really of any value until someone has a plan.

A matter of time is easily a decade when it comes to OpenMW though.
Sounds great, no updates on your mod in a while.

What do you mean, like how most of the clutter can be freely moved? I like that aspect, what's your problem with it?

I hope so too. Even when we inevitable get OpenFNV/Oblivion/Skyrim I can't think of anything that truly needs physics outside of player character except for meme bullshit like cheese wheels in your house.

What con are you planning on attending? Planning on a 2019 release? I'm very excited to see your Underspace game in action. Low key my most anticipated game right under Biomutant this year so you're in good company.

CHIM isn't my mod but he's just busy with school at the moment and a lot of it is awaiting dehardcoding but his internal roadmap is insane. CHIM is gonna be one hell of a thing when it's finished.

My overhaul will interface well with his. We're just focusing on different things but my recent playthroughs have used his movement climbing stuff, definitely recommend that if you haven't tried it out.

Attached: dagoth ur.png (1395x335, 93K)

It needs to be noted because I know most anons will get this wrong, physics doesn't mean Havoc like in Half Life or Skyrim. Physics means having an option to drop stuff down instead of game teleporting it out of your inventory. When they implement it, it'll speed up mod creation process by more than half because modders will be able to drop everything where they need instead of arranging everything to be pixel perfect.

Personally, I'm even more excited about possible water flow in rivers. Rivers and lakes in Morrowind feel like whatever bodies of water. I need my stream physics.

>Bethesda fans get so sick of Bethesda making shit games that they just decide to make their own, actually good Bethesda games.
Neat.

We've been discussing stream physics on Discord lately. Remember that game jam after Skyrim released where one of the Bethesda guys made a dungeon that was based around water physics and being carried down channels of water? That's something that needs to be implemented for sure.

The community would make good use of it. Especially Tamriel Rebuilt team dealing with those landmasses.

How the fetch do vehicles work in skyrim if pretty much same mod in pretty much same game (fallout 3 motocycles) can get to work properly?

It's annoying but it's not like a system to lock objects, or set a position to allow you to move them back to that location with the push of a button can't be implemented.

>leeks explode everywhere, killing your wife
>collect life insurance and live it up
I don't see the problem here.

I'd rather not play CHIM until it's finished and skills for the new player abilities are implemented, I'm still waiting for my next playthrough of Morrowind, but at this rate I'm not sure when that will be.

>What con are you planning on attending?
It's just a small one I've been attending for a few years, but I wanna test it out in a public setting.
Also it plays... basically like Freelancer. Should be lawsuitingly familiar if you've played that.

That ended up in Dawnguard, it's really fun. I wanted to do something in Skyrim and being in like, a stream and having to dodge spiky rocks.

That's great.

The moment I realized stream physics are needed is when I had to go to UESP to learn which bodies of waters on Ascadian Lakes are rivers and which lakes. It made me unhappy because if there's no way to know for sure until you check it, the short length and absurd wideness of rivers in comparison to map size shatters my immersion. It also makes the world feel static more than anything else.

How's the progress on the editor? Is it anywhere near being feature complete?

Attached: 1409822065507.jpg (600x800, 118K)

Honestly the best part is that as long as they don't use the TES IP, anyone using OpenMW's engine to make their own "Not-TES" fantasy Bethesda-esque game could actually sell it and compete directly with Bethesda, which is pretty awesome.

You could probably fake stream physics in game now to be honest. I used a similar system for Sotha Sil Expanded's conveyor belts.

Attached: FactoryFight.webm (640x360, 2.75M)

I'm not the right person to ask about that but it definitely feels like it's near completion already.

Yep. So when SureAI is making their next Enderal, they'll have the choice of making a mod for a Bethesda game or a standalone game they can make millions off of with tools that feel like what they had while making Enderal

It'll be interesting to see what they choose

I'm pretty sure SureAI said their next Enderal game is going to be of their own original designs, not a mod.

>Well now's their chance to get back at him and make the Daggerfall/Morrowind successors of their dreams.
Working on it right now, I'm just hoarding assets while waiting for MW to get to the point where I can make a demo without having to wrestle with the tools.

Well, I don't know how to fake streams. My modding achievements are making a house.

What you mean like scripting NPCs to move at certain times of the day wouldn't that be stupidly complex and bring the games scripting engine to a halt?

I only decided to do this like late last year, but it's mostly some humans, and a few outfits and so far over world pieces, rocks, cliff pieces, trees, small things to clutter the overworld, soon architecture I guess, but really without snapping I can't even do internal locations, I'm mostly doing outdoors assets because I've noticed that the guy handling terrain editing has actually gotten somewhere recently, so I could at least look at making part of my planned overworld.

Asset stores generally feature the assets license prominently, many of them have a licence that allows people to buy modify and resell, in fact I've seen people even do this.

There is an open source asset community, there's loads of textures/models that people could use, it probably doesn't have the ones you want, but why would you want a perfect demo to sell on Kickstarter, who detailed do you want your demo to be?

It sounds like a waste of time based on the angle that if someone makes a proper scheduling system similar to the ones in Skyrim/Oblivion then all that work would sort of be a waste.

Not that I'm aware of but if you want to waste that time go ahead, I guess it won't be a complete waste since you could convert the master scheduling table into whatever scheduling format does come around.

It has distant lands but the distant statics aspect of it is only being used by developers privately, I think that's because of the guy who optimized the fuck out of distant terrain, and they would want to build their statics to that first, it has shadows, those are done, probably see them in .46, but you can see them in the nightlies right now, developers have expressed interest in implementing a grass system, you're not too far away I guess.

Dual casting was great, especially the ability to cast destruction and shield/utility spells at the same time.

You're not serious are you? the only thing I will admit Skyrim does well is that there's a large variety of spells that work differently, other than that, nah, shows more of a problem with Magic in TES games as a whole.

Steam.

Other TES games don't have things like a sustained torrent of elemental energy from your hand, or a slow moving orb of damage, or the ability to send a group of enemies flying, or the ability to blink a short distance, the variety is a different kind of variety, and the fact that that aspect is an improvement is a problem with TES games.

What's so bad about companions?

The streams are good to watch and i feel its coming along nicely.

I just feel bad because they're putting effort into it and we're just gonna rip their assets and use them for OpenMW's Oblivion port.

Anyone working on Oblivion/Skyrim provinces should just focus on making assets to be released for the OpenMW community and if they want to go the extra mile, that's on them.

That's not true. For one, engine is so vastly different that if you weren't a casual you'd know this isn't vanilla Morrowind. Secondly, all the new additions are UI conviniences and Code Patch additional options. Or are you going to cry about stealth archery being viable?

Daggerfall Unity just received another large update a couple of days ago, why aren't you hyped for this shit you brainlet?

Soon

long as changes like archery sniping damage are optional, i'm all for it. but its going to change the base game for new players of morrowind in the future, so any sort of opinion on how to improve the gameplay should really not be included.
like what if they decide the constipated walk animation is bad and should be changed? sure it could be optional but a new player isn't is going to know otherwise.

Why did Morrowind feel so soulless? Compared to Dag, it was just a really "hollow" game, you just get this feeling.

>like what if they decide
I think they have goals for future OpenMW development written on their website in a very clear and understandable way.
That includes what kind of deviations from vanilla can be implemented in OpenMW and how.
from what I see they give us options to enable or disable each change in the launcher

But I am? I made some of the most popular mods for Daggerfall Unity. That being said, it's less interesting than OpenMW considering Daggerfall Unity is on Unity and OpenMW is a make your own nuBethesda game engine.

I kind of agree with you but maybe this will result in a Daggerfall meets Morrowind sort of game by a pissed off Daggerfall/Morrowind fan such as myself.

isn't Daggerfall Unity close to that or in some aspects even better?

That's the thing with Skywind, it is made and supported by Skyrim retards who can't get into Morrowind.

I'm like halfway expecting TES6 to fall for the Souls meme as far as combat goes, which, while not ideal, would be far better than the janky mess 5's combat was.

Does anyone have mod recommendations? Thinking of doing A Telvanni playthrough and would appreciate the best underrated mods. Also is there a good levelling mod for MW? MW vanilla levelling just isn't very good and prioritises minmaxing which sucks. Also any good vampire mods? Going for OpenMW compatibility

Pics or it didn't happen.

They will never be compatible.

it doesn't, imagine morrowind but without any meaningful dungeons because they are all 100% rng except story ones, only difference between towns being the texture set because again 100% rng except few story critical locations (as locations within the city because the rest is Always rng again), no meaningful dialog because the only difference between a npc and another is the sprite. people masturbate about the six million square miles overworld but you will be always using quicktravel because 100% rng without nothing in it.
daggerfall is an absolute joke, the epitome of style (for that time) over substance, skyrim has objectively more content than daggerfall

Openmw team doesn't like mwse that much.

gross, that garbage boring city design does not belong in the engine

Not in Morrowind. The characters are like 50 polies. Don't even need to vertex weight that shit. It'd be really piss easy to improve upon the extant animation.

I prefer an engine that wont randomly corrupt my save at any point

Just go fucking try it. I have hundreds of hours in OpenMW and it is stable as fuck. Its only not considered 1.0 because of rare fringe cases and no MWSE. Performance is excellent on it. I'm using a mod list that was crashing vanilla like every 20 minutes. OpenMW hasn't crashed once on me.

This. Dehardcoded Skyrim with Morrowind's scripting could result in Skyrim actually being worth playing one day.

I mean isn't that what Skyrim Home of the Nords/Province Cyrodiil are doing?

Why? And how do i find more info about this? I'd expect they would integrate it in OpenMW or its functions, otherwise the userbase will be split forever

Yep. I joined Skywind briefly and contributed some tree and rock models. 99% of the "team" are absolutely beginners who have never made another mod and joined Skywind because of its fame. Almost every single model I would export and look from the site was not only not game ready, but had such garbage topology that it could probably never be made game ready.

I'm not even going to give Todd the chance to disappoint me. I'm already working on my TES successor that'll be a mix of Daggerfall and what worked from Morrowind.

I haven't been happy with the series since Daggerfall. Morrowind was a downgrade but acceptable.

Just why
Why would they do that

They are going to implement it eventually, but the most recent version of MWSE allows use of much more powerful LUA scripts, and LUA scripting is built into openMW natively. So even if they never add old MWSE stuff, it will be easy to convert new mods to both openMW and vanilla. Also, most of the stuff you would need MWSE for can be done natively in openMW.

I have wanted people to mod in some of the shit from C0DA for forever.

Yes. Custom shader support was finished before the graphics engine port. They have to write it again. People were making some cool stuff on the old graphics engine. Here is a shady that had distant weather effects.

Anything that helps make Tamriel Rebuilt feel more integrated into vanilla. Right now they feel way too disconnected. It would be nice to have faction mods that add quests that take you to the mainland, and maybe some misc quests scattered around that need you to go the mainland also.

I'd check with them first. I have no idea what their plans are to integrate TR with the vanilla game beyond having transport methods in the game to get you to those provinces but I assume there are plans to address that.

Don't want to make your work redundant or step on other's toes. Especially when yours would be an add-on and theirs would be built into what they're distributing.

modders will fix it

They had to rewrite post processing when they moved to the new renderer. It'll take a while but it's gonna be worth it. The new renderer is worth the effort.

Without abusing intelligence potions whats a slightly less broken way to get op early on? Enchantments?

If you just pick a race and weapon combo that go well together, you are pretty much set for anything by level 15.

Daggerfall Unity is putting lipstick on a turd.

So what scripting is OpenMW using? Lua? Something custom?

3rd of Never

After the next Cube World update

OpenMW will never actually be done. Back in early 2017, Yea Forums was predicting 1.0 by Christmas. Lo and behold, the game runs just as badly as it did back then.Every update is some variation of "corrected the death animation of dremora" or "fixed the texture error on left glass pauldrons" or some inane shit. It's like Zeno's paradox of the tortoise and Achilles. The team is always making smaller and smaller steps toward an actually usable open source engine, so that while progress is demonstrable, they're never actually going to finish the project.

It's a pie in the sky project that will never come to fruition, let alone be a worthwhile choice over vanilla + mods.

unironically in three-five years. It'll happen sooner than most people think. We've already gotten the foundation done, now it's just minor improvements made between Morrowind and their Gamebryo engine circa 2006-2011

Morrowind fans have a huge overlap with FNV fans so I expect FNV will be the next major push then Skyrim.

Oblivion and Fallout 3 will come as a result of supporting FNV but no one gives a fuck about that.

you said that three-five years ago!

>"corrected the death animation of dremora" or "fixed the texture error on left glass pauldrons"
You're over a year behind the program. Now it's skeleton fixes that stop crashes no one ever experienced.

It's just a monthly OpenMW thread where they try to drum up enthusiasm for this go-nowhere project.

>oh user, it'll be VR compatible and have fully modeled vulvas, etc.

Oh cool that's still some distant away but at least it's something.

>So why does OP saying that it will support NV & Skyrim?
NV, Skyrim, and Morrowind are all on the same engine, so it's easy to connect the games

They're like ToadyOne.

He would rather spend three months coding the fluid mechanics and viscosity of dwarven vomit rather than make his game not run like utter dogshit.

Personally, I didn't. 3-5 years from now sounds far more realistic than it did 3-5 years ago though.

It's definitely getting close and even if I'm wrong, we'll see standalone game development on OpenMW in that time for sure so who gives a fuck about Todd's ga-

Oh hey Todd sorry about that. You should really consider using OpenMW for TESVI/Starfield. Contribute to the code, you help us, we'll help you. It's a win-win situation.

Probably never. There have been some proof-of-concept things done, but it is so buggy, looks so bad, and would need so much work that I doubt anyone would ever do it.

Besides, Skyrim: Home of the Nords mod is shaping up excellently and is far better than vanilla Skyrim.

The author is calling it Tamriel Rebuilt.
If he has no intention of following established lore he should call it Tamriel Reimagined.

You should label your work as to not be misleading.

The best thing that can happen to a game with developers like Bethesda is the fandom taking over. Your misanthropy is never going to make anything better. All a creative project needs to be good is a few guys at the top with a good vision.

Only stupid people are misled.

> All a project needs is a few guys at the top with good vision.
No you actually need competent people to implement that vision.
See Obsidian, Troika, Black Isle,etc
Visionaries out the ass but failed because they couldn't actually make games.

>The author
There is no fucking author, you idiot. All original planners left over a decade ago.

>If he has no intention of following established lore
The mod started production before Morrowind was even released. Design documents which are used in TR are 15 years old. There was no established Oblivion or Skyrim lore then, you shithead.

What kind of toaster are you running? I'm playing at 4k with all the biggest textures packs in openMW and am getting 60fps.

They left over a decade ago?
Seems wise.
So now it is a community effort?
That will end well.

Hurry up though Bethesda needs saving by the modders or so I hear.

It was always a community effort. There was no single project leader back then. Original team was basically booted out because they weren't serious enough and got nowhere. What little of them left had moved on by 2012. The current team is cream of the crop modders and lorefags. They work in cells with various specializations.

Original team had little to show off and not much got finalized by them, but by 2008 first good stuff started being released. Perfection takes time and releases are steady.

In other news, you really have no idea what you're talking about nor have ever player Morrowind probably.

What do you guys think, how much better could Oblivion and Skyrim have been if Bethesda kept updating their engine and not screwed around with their incompetent programmers? Like, I haven't played Enderal but people say its cities should give us a good idea of what the current engine could handle if it was used by competent programmers, for instance.

I have played Morrowind.
The MQ was top tier in terms of pacing and content.
It dragged a little for the Ashlanders portion though.
Everything else ranged from serviceable to shit.

It is a good thing top men are working on this. It is a seminal work that will define a generation.

How is that Morrowind mod that adds the main continent to the game? I was thinking of installing it, but I was worried my mods should break if I did the required game update that I forgot

Member when VVardenfell was supposed to be one part of the Morrowind map and they had to cut down from the entire Morrowind province being several hundred miles square and only kept VVardenfell ? All Due to console restreints? i member

Reading about Morrowind's design document is quite depressing.

youtu.be/46gaz6veVNQ?t=4330

Makes me wish Skyrim came out this gen instead. 360 and ps3 held it back so much.

Its pretty much a required mod these days. It breaks very little. It adds tons of new quests. None of the factions are 100% finished, so you might want to avoid them and just wait until they are. But there is more misc quests than the base game has and they are pretty fun. The new areas are absolutely gorgeous. The dungeons are kinda easy though, so I actually like to quest around there at the beginning of a new game, which is counter-intuitive since most mods are geared towards high level characters.

Don't install the "preview" content. Its just unfinished shit.

They can already load asset files for those they just need to add the actual features of each games engine into OpenMW.

So we can potentially have a demaked Skyrim and Oblivion with Morrowind mechanics?

Theoretically, at that point though the devs will likely try to recreate skyrim's engine as accurately as possible first

A lot of mods need the script extender to run. They won't work with openMW. It will fracture the community.

Both devs were over this.

OpenMW is going to implement a new Lua script. A translator for the old script will be made. MWSE dev promised to modify his script if needed to make it compatible with OpenMW.

This all will be done around 1.0 release.

If skyrim actually had attributes it would have been so much better

Are the Beyond Skyrim guys planning to make any other mods?

If you plan to do stuff for TES3MP, I'd recommend doing it in the server's lua implementation so people don't actually need to add a mod to their client

1. It is open source, which is why things like tes3mp exist
2. It will eventually have things like a more powerful MWSE built in. It already has LUA support
3. Custom animations. See a mod for the recent openMW that allows for weapons to be sheathed and show on your body. This wasn't possible before
4. Tamriel rebuilt works great with it

It's a whole new engine, this allows anyone with knowledge of C++ to make changes all the way to the core of the game should they wish too.
>I though the point of OpenMW was the multiplayer.
That's TES3MP, it was originally a seperate project working off of OpenMW but it's been officially incorporated into the engine, also a good example of why having a FOSS compliant engine is really good.

Vanity project.

>what´s the point of OpenMW
It's an open source reiplementation of MW's engine. It's cross-platform and it frees you from the binds of a bad 20 year old engine. You can do literally anything with it.

Why do brainlets always just think "but it looks the same, why should I care???"

Beyond Skyrim isn't even close to finished. Also, Bruma was absolutely shit. The Illiad Bay team seems good though

When is someone going to add in ray tracing to OpenMW? Every other retro game has it now

Its a fair point. OpenMW basically amounts to
>Look I remade Morrowind!
Ok, it looks the same, whats the point? I can just play Morrowind
>Well my engine can do lots of new cool stuff
Oh nice. Can you show me
>Well no it cant do it yet but maybe in 10 more years
K. I'll stick to MGE XE for now then.

Yes. It had custom shader support at one time, but it went away when they switched to a new graphics engine. Adding shading support back in is a top priority, since no one gives a shit about openMW as long as it is uglier than MGE.

why was bruma shit? genuinely curious, was waiting on the project to finish just so I could do a massive playthrough of Skyrim

I doubt the engine can support it

It is really buggy and unstable. And amateur voice acting is cringeworthy trash. The acting sucks, recording are low quality, and mixing is all over the place.

Its open source. It can support anything.

If I hosted a tes3mp server with TR would anyone play on it. I would do desynched journals so everyone can quest independently, and daily cell resets so multiple people can complete most quests. Only things off the top of my head that would be broken would the Great House strongholds.

What servers really need is are house mods and a house ownership system. Perhaps even just an instanced interior for a player house or something like that. A place to store my shit that other people can't access. The ideal thing would be like adding another canton to Vivec with like a 2 dozen apartments, and give every new player their own unique key that lets them alone enter their own apartment. And maybe let them dup the key to give a copy to friends if they want.

>What servers really need is are house mods and a house ownership system.
IIRC there's already public scripts for that.

I think they added custom cells in 0.7, don't quote me on that tho, so it should be doable.
>A place to store my shit that other people can't access.
I vividly remember a server with a proper bank script.

The only way I remember being able to natively add stuff like that to a cell was with an older work around that turned custom ESPs into cell data.

With custom items it should be completely doable.

Did anyone try Project Tamriel? I always wanted to see Cyrodiil as it was described before oblivion: tropical and roman-esque instead of generic medieval european, but PT's Cyrodiil page was last updated a year ago while Skyrim seems to be more active with it's updates? Is it dead? Is it a good mod?

I have and it's fucking awesome. Skyrim Home of the Nords has a ton of content right now with quite a bit coming soon. Cyrodiil has significantly less though. They have the isle of stirk with the Gold Coast coming out this year. All of these locations are absolutely gorgeous.

Its still in it infancy, but what is there is pretty good. I think its still only the town of Stirk.

Anvil and the rest of the Gold Coast is coming soon. they said they have few interiors and quests to work on but that's it. Stirk is getting it's full main quest soon too though after Anvil.

I guess I'll see if I still have him on disc, I don't imagine he'd get thrown out.

I closed it a while ago, Dawn of Resdayne was given everyones player data tho so you can play any characters you had on FTC there.

Nice, you gonna bring FTC back eventually?

>a scam for "aspiring developers" to put in their CV to get a real job in the industry
How does that even work anyway? Oscuro got the job in Obsidian, thirteenoranges, guy who made arena mod for Skyrim works in Ubisoft or smth, Falskaar creator got a job at Bungie. I'm glad for them and all but why would they be hired, they weren't even making mods for THEIR games?

Probably no, got a lot going on.

>why would they be hired, they weren't even making mods for THEIR games
Why would it matter what game you have modded if you have made or were a part of a team that made a popular mod?

If this modder has a set of skills with bethesda's toolkit you would need to spend your time and money to educate him on how to use your toolkit. Especially if it's a proprietary engine

I would be happy with black marsh and Elsweyr.
in fact i think black marsh wouldn't need that many custom assets, you could simply make it look like the bitter coast and it'd work just fine

I wish I was a NEET so i could join one of these projects and do something cool... i remember messing around with the creation kit(?) for morrowind in the mid 2000s it was really fun and simple to use. unfortunately i'm in my 30s now and have so much shit to do.

What is OpenMW? Is it just allowing people to remake skyrim in morrowind or wahtever?

Rebuilt engine for Morrowind that's also open source

>Shitwiz was so BTFO by user in /tesg/ he posts here now

I've never really followed MW mods but openmw really reignited my interest in the game.
Redbull me on the huge map mods like Tamriel Rebuilt, Skyrim Home of the Nords and Province Cyrodiil. Are they just massive memes or do they show promise?

Contribute anything at all. Make a simple dagger model and drop it by the Tamriel Rebuilt forums and see if they'll include it.

Its a completely new open source engine that runs Morrowind. It works really well and is super stable. It has made things like online multiplayer for Morrowind possible.

Tamriel Rebuilt doesnt just shoe promise, it is already a must have. Even though the factions aren't finished, it has as many misc quests as the base game and is absolutely fucking gorgeous. All the dungeons are top notch also. Work on it has also been accelerating in recent months after the Skywind exodus. A lot of those modders came to Tamriel rebuilt.

The Skyrim mod is also coming along nicely. Some excellent art assets in there. Its a lot smaller than TR right now though and doesn't have many quests. But you can at least walk around and see some nice towns.

The Cyrodil mod is is still a baby. Not much content there and progress is slow.

>Skywind exodus
its that bad over there?

The dude leading voice acting back then was fired. Now he spends his time on youtube sucking dick shaped popsicles and making gay ASMR videos.
The project was complete ass back before 2015. It completely changed direction near the end of 2015.
Source: I'm one of the devs. I'll provide proof in the Skywind discord if needed.

hey how do I install a completely vanilla version of openmw

the wizard wont let me install from disc even when I have an iso mounted and when I chose a vanilla directory it still had mods from my other install for some reason

Its a vanity project meant for shitters to have something to put on their resume when looking for work. It is nowhere near playable, and there was a shit storm when the leaders cut a trailer straight up lying about the state of the game. They were making smaller stand-alone world spaces and passing it off as though that was actually the Morrowind world space

Thanks lad. I really need to dig into this stuff.
Not sure why I've ignored all this for years. I was too busy modding stalker

The only thing I want to know about Skywind is when can we steal their assets for OpenMW? Morrowind's graphics hold up great when you add in modern rendering techniques. The only really poor looking parts are the armor and weapons made from single digit polygon counts. We need to steal their armor assets.

>and there was a shit storm when the leaders cut a trailer straight up lying about the state of the game. They were making smaller stand-alone world spaces and passing it off as though that was actually the Morrowind world space
Why do you feel the need to just randomly make up a bunch of shit?

I worked on Skywind for a year. I was one of the only people making actual progress and not just posting screens on the forums. 90% of the assets you see posted in those forums are someones art school project and are nowhere near game ready. Most of their models have absolute garbage topologies as well and can't be animated or retopo'd with looking like utter ass.

probably not since armor sets in skyrim and morrowind are completely different, you would need to split up the models into left pauldron, right pauldron and so on. It would take a lot of work

What was your username then. I would remember you if that's even remotely true.

Yeah, but less work than creating them again from scratch. People have back ported mods before. See the awesome "Daedric Lord" armor for example. It was originally a Morrowind daedra armor mod for Oblivion then Skyrim. Now its been back ported into Morrowind.

Are we allowed to use Bethesda models as a base for a mod that we upload on Nexus? I want to take a stab at sculpting some detail onto some of the Morrowind armors.

Rebelzize seems like an okay dude and the rest of the team working on it are actually pretty active from what I've seen. Feel bad for him about what happened with his girlfriend, I feel like I would drop shit like this and go into a pit of despair if that happened to me but he kept on going, kudos for that I guess.

Nifskoping has been a thing for ages, should be fine

Well?

Why remake oblivion in skyrim?
skyrim doesnt have anything Oblivion doesn't already have and the graphics aren't really all that dated to justify a remake...
Not trying to insult them I know it's hard work I just don't see what's the point

To have one seemless world? Why wouldn't you want it?

>seemless
in what way?

I love how stable openMW is. Its nice no to be able to load up on mods without constant crashes.

That's a good question actually, IMO:
The newer the bethesda game, the more easy it is to mod;
Oblivion's combat was even worse than Skyrim's;
It does look better. Vanilla aged like milk.
It doesn't have that iirc. Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil team are turbo gay people who are trying to do that and even cancelled LE version of their mod to pull it of but not Skyblivion

You can fast travel to Cyrodil.

>removing Soule, adding Souls
what horrible fever dream night terrors TES 6 is going to bring
im expecting an absolute travesty of a game, Bethesda is one of those companies that NEVER learns from their mistakes, they just make even worse ones later that overshadow the previous follies

could someone please answer this, thanks

I modded Morrowind once and it looked great, it took me a day to get right though.
Wake me up when Morrowind is simple and easy to overhaul, like one fucking download and I'm done.

is there a comprehensive list of all the creatures they've added to tamriel_data?

Rite thanks buds

>but its closer to MW than Skyrim
You don't know that. I do agree that it would be a nice addition. Skyrim is being modded in, too, after all.

Oh, then yeah, its kinda dumb.
But if I can mod their mod to port Oblivion armors into Skyrim, its at least worth it for that.

>Work on it has also been accelerating in recent months after the Skywind exodus. A lot of those modders came to Tamriel rebuilt.
What happened?

What the fuck? Why is Skyblivion so far ahead then? different leads? Why doesn't the Beyond Skyrim team mentiont his

How is the atmosphere? Are the lead devs total fags? I made a few small meshes for Beyond Skyrim (Atmora) once but left because everyone in the discord were literal trannies who kept spamming about shit about politics and punching Nazis.

Yeah. Skyblivion is 100% a different team. They are similar in name only.

>Thanks Skywind team :^)
The only team I actually trust is the Beyond Skyrim Team

I was just thinking how awesome something like Beyond Skyrim: Vvardenfell could be

>island almost entirely destroyed during the oblivion crisis
>only monsters and zombies, maybe some NPCs here and there
>settlements are deserted and full of monsters
>roaming bandits and looters in the coast
>almost all the assets needed were already added with the dragonborn DLC

I don't trust them either. Cyrodiil's team admitted on Reddit a while back that aside from Bruma they hardly had anything else done yet. Someone asked if they were to release everything now what it would be like and a dev said it'd be pretty much nothing but empty world space aside from Bruma and half finished towns.

Literally nothing. He's just making shit up. It's surprising how much Yea Forums just gobbles up as 100% truth with no proof.

That's what Skywind is supposed to be

t. discord tranny

Beyond Skyrim: Morrowind already made claim to Vvardenfell. They're making mainland and the island. Only way I see that working is if a bunch of people make their own mod for it under a different name.

forum.openmw.org/search.php?keywords=

I had no idea this project existed, sounds cool. I wonder how they'll handle the remains of vivec city

t. actual tranny

They made it so 99% of the island is destroyed and you'll only have a few settlements in the border.

you mean this?

Not a bad way to handle it desu
Would be cool if there was a quest or something to find and loot the old treasuries in vivec city... they could be underwater and full of zombies and shit

Not him but kinda. It's a trailer for pre-release like Bruma, iirc it's only gonna feature isles of Bleackrock and Sheogorad

SE>Oldshit

Is it Ukraine on the map?

Do you know where we are?

The best thing about OpenMW is the possibiliy of a N3DS or Vita port.
Goddamn imagine a portable morrowind with dual sticks so playing doesn't feel like cancer.
The touchscreens would be perfect for inventory management.

Nope, I'll buy Starfield and TES6 though.

I love Openmw, but I have this autistic thing where I don't play something unless I know it's finished. So I can't bring myself to play openmw until I know they're done with it.

Why is it always punching Nazis? Nazis can eat a dick but the people saying this always have the body of a 12 year old and a mind that fits that body.

How do you install mods on it?

drop them in the data folder for morrowind and activate them in the OpenMW launcher

Drop them in MW data folder like you did before.

Yeah, just realized it only replaces the engine and you still need the original game files for this to work, so the modding process is practically the same. Thanks bros, I'm downloading it now.

What is the best beginners guide for modding Morrowind? Like lets say I made a cube in 3dmax and want to import it as a new weapon. Where can I learn how to do that?
