OpenMW 0.49 is now out!
It's now by far the best way to play Morrowind in 2025
It finally even has full LUA scripting, so you can run your weird sex mods now

>>714508442 (OP)
yay!!

sex mods in a classic game is peak soulless

>>714508442 (OP)
Can I finally play Rebirth together with Tamriel rebuild?

>>714508943
You could do that 2 years ago

>>714508442 (OP)
Call me when we get a new SkyWind expansion.

>>714508442 (OP)
>sex mods in Morrowind
this would be like jacking off to golden eye 64 porn. Who would do that?

>>714508442 (OP)
>It finally even has full LUA scripting, so you can run your weird sex mods now
Wait, that was the one point normal Morrowind modding had over OpenMW, does it just werk with all scripted mods or does this just mean that people can now make new versions for OpenMW?

Going to need to redo my Morrowind install. On the previous version of OpenMW and need to update to the latest TR

>>714508442 (OP)
I'm a progamlet. What's LUA scripting and why should I care?

>>714510120
OpenMW is far beyond MGE at this point
It's a much more modern engine, you can even have proper physics:

>>714508442 (OP)
Why didn't you link it?
>4chan thinks it's spam
Oh nevermind. Looks like they finally fixed one of the biggest issues with landing hits, so now you can actually melee Netches again.

As someone who has never really played Morrowind before (other than screwing around a bit 20 years ago as a kid), what exactly makes this an improvement over the original?

Do i need to update from Release Candidate 9?
Been playing 0.49 for months already.

>>714508442 (OP)
Who cares? We would all perish before tamriel rebuilt gets completed and it would all be for nothing.

>>714511390
You don't need to but the devs will tell you to update if you run into any bugs

>>714508442 (OP)

>>714512248
Immersive is for fags and cocksuckers, and you fit the quota, anon.

>>714512248
Do you need a mod IRL to tell you how often to eat and sleep?
Use the durability mechanic that it's already in the game for some pacing.

>>714511054
OpenMW is essentially a reverse engineered remake of the game, and is generally a much more stable version of the game that’s easier to work with. The biggest downside is that it isn’t compatible with Morrowind Script Extender so mods that require that are incompatible.

>>714508442 (OP)
honestly, why do you guys like morrowind
seems like it's just the typical bethesda jank but with the classic "old game" modifier that makes /v/ get on their knees for mediocre games. it doesnt do much different from all the others, although it is funny how easy it is to absolutely destroy the balancing

>>714508442 (OP)
Holy shit. I mean most people were already using prerelease versions but still.

>>714512069
>less mod support
They are improving that, at least. I assume directly porting MWSE stuff to OpenMW will never be a thing but modders are able to create better stuff with v0.49's previous builds, like the city building mod.

>>714512391
>>714512463
I too like 50% of the items in the world having no value and randomly resting/waiting in place to game certain mechanics. Power gaming is fun.

But it gets boring after awhile and ruins any Roleplaying attempt when your immersion is instantly broken with shit like this.

Survival mods objectively make the game better.

>>714510120
>does it just werk with all scripted mods
No because the api is different with openmw because it has multiplayer built in which necessitated changing some stuff. If someone made a mod for mwse then they have to port it to openmw. But a lot of people just make their mods for openmw to begin with these days.

>>714510414
Could someone potentially find a 2007 version of havok and put in oblivion physics?

>>714512952
You need exactly 0 mods to limit infinite resting or whatever your problem is supposed to be.
Just don't press the button unless you want to. It's that easy.
>Survival mods objectively make the game better.
That's clearly a subjective opinion, I strongly believe that survival mechanics in most games serve no purpose. Even less likely that adding such mechanics with a mod would improve a game.

>>714508442 (OP)
Been playing 0.48 in linux and it's peak comfy. GJ guys

>>714508442 (OP)
does it support mwse yet

>>714513601
No and it never will.

Wake me up when Merlord updates Ashfall for OpenMW.

>>714513642
they should get on fixing that then

>>714513915
What part of never do you not understand?

>>714513953
sounds like an excuse to me

>>714513414
>You need exactly 0 mods to limit infinite resting or whatever your problem is supposed to be.
Technecally, you don't. But it makes the games world building feel much more beleivable and enjoyable when you can actually interact with mechanics like this ingame. It extends roleplaying to the game rather than it simply being in your head. At the end of the day, it improves the strengths the game already has. World Building, Immersion, Roleplaying.

>>714508783
What do you suggest instead?

>>714514001
Just play the og with mwse if you want. You don't need openmw.

>>714512952
Holy mother of faggotry and reddit spacing.
it must be a creature with a mutilated penis from /r/trueSTL

>>714514072
og morrowind has the nasty habit to stutter after a while, and terrain generation for mods is a pain
Also no one is going to mod if there is no cheesecake body mods

>>714508442 (OP)
Do the new spells/effects and weather that Tamriel Rebuilt adds work in OpenMW now then?

>>714514072
i'm being an ass intentionally but honestly it does kinda suck that the two things are never gonna be compatible, trawling through nexus to find a mod only to find out it's for the other version is such a pain in the ass

>>714514046
If it doesn't affect NPCs, then it's completely worthless.
A game like Gothic had wild life hunting for food and NPCs cooking their own. While food wasn't exactly required to be consumed for the main character, it was clear that these people had needs that had to be satisfied.
If one day Morrowind will get a mod to make actors other than the main character have basic needs, then it will be worthwhile to have basic needs for the main character as well.

>>714508442 (OP)
>you can run your weird sex mods now
There is none for Morrowind

>>714514771
That's mainly a nexus problem desu.
That site is shit to browse and unless you already know exactly what you need you won't find it unless you get lucky.

>>714508442 (OP)
>It finally even has full LUA scripting
What are OpenMW's memory and processing limitations?
Could you in theory port Oblivion or Skyrim into OpenMW now?

>>714515393
Why would lua scripting make you think that?

>>714514941
You can always start.

>>714514941
I have a very specific memory of nerding out about morrowind modding with a friend of a friend in high school and he pulled up his mod list and he had a prostitution mod installed.

>>714515393
>now
Long time ago, actually.

>>714508442 (OP)
last time I tried openmw it made my game drop to 10-20 fps

>>714515393

Read the main site post, they are literally doing that right now

>>714516021
That's not really OpenMW's fault because the of how Gamebryo/Creation Engine works.
It's a really, really CPU heavy game for what it is. There's a reason the battle sequences in Oblivion and Skyrim were really lame.
Stuff like increased AI range will absolutely slaughter your performance if you aren't careful.

>>714511054
It’s literally the original but less buggy.

>>714508442 (OP)
I'm not touching this again when every few versions just casually break your saves.

>>714516078

I bet I'll enjoy this so much more than Oblivion Remastered.

>>714508442 (OP)
Can it display god rays yet?

>>714512952
Based immersion enjoyer. They hate you because you speak the truth.

>>714513049
Ah, ok. I figured it would be something like that since just working with the originals out of the box would be amazing but this is still good news since I absolutely positively 100% never want to go back after using OpenMW and the damn thing runs so much better

>>714513140
oblivion physics objects were already implemented years ago when the engine used bullet
https://youtu.be/W-cIm2K9f-E
it's irrelevant now though, since the physics backend was changed, but it's possible, and will happen someday assuming it hasn't happened already and i just haven't seen it

>>714517585
you can with shaders

>>714508442 (OP)
Are they going to work on custom spell effect support now?

>>714520043
Did I give up on OpenMW too quickly? I tried to replicate my old MGE install a few years ago and the results sucked so I gave up. I remember googling around for a bit and learning that godrays weren't doable, at least the way I wanted, and the lighting otherwise was so flat and ugly I just lost interest.

I just want my game to look like this again.

>>714520812
>Did I give up on OpenMW too quickly
yes

>>714520812
it's not gonna look exactly like MGEXE but it's pretty good and dare I say even better in some cases
pic related is how my game looks currently but you can go even crazier with this pack for example
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/53667
If they managed to get the distant fog exactly like the one MGEXE has it would be perfect for me

>>714510013
Haha yeah..... who would fire up control just to stare at Natalya and jerk off.... like it's weird right? Who would do that hahaha

>>714514771
1. creating a compatibility layer between mwse and openmw is a waste of time
2. mwse troons hate openmw and are actively shilling against it

Crashes with AMD. Original game is still better.

>>714511054
It's basically a rejig of the Creation Engine, but "open source" so people can look at the code and fix any bugs in it over time.

>>714522882
Works on my machine

>>714513049
Isn't the multiplayer portion left behind and practically dead at this point?

classic

>>714523078
I mean it basically works just fine already

>>714523078
Last time I played it everything seemed to work just fine, I don't think it counts as abandoning it when it's basically feature complete.
I should add that I'm not sure if things like quests etc work 100% so maybe I'm just wrong.

>>714523448

Until then it's nothing but a big, wet, diarrhea fart.

>>714510013
How else would I get my rewards from Ahnassi

i had to builded (sic) it from source for some reason the package in the arch repo wouldnt work for me.

>>714522882
i can't say it happens to me but my card is old and i'm running the mesa driver instead.

>>714521319
It's a shame that OpenMW will probably never natively support raytracing of any kind unless they switch the graphics API to Vulkan at some point. Openscenegraph just doesn't support any form of raytracing so to me the game will never truly feel feature complete.

After all... why not?

>>714526207
you can just take the platter anytime, it isn't owned.

>>714522882
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>714526402
But that's worth much less than the gem. Also my modlist installed (((ownership overhaul))).

>Stealth and crime are still inherently broken and irredeemable

Oh baby....

i shudder to think of people who play morrowind all day. they alt-tab to post on here or tweet something or watch a video then it's right back to old faithful, every day, breaks never lasting longer than 15 minutes. it scares me.

>>714527061
yeah i just wanted to share that factoid.

>>714527145
i haven't tried it yet but https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/56965 might be something that interests you

>>714527310
yeah it's really scary when people from the video games board play video games. like why are they even here?

>>714508442 (OP)
never played MW modded, will this overwrite my current saves?

>>714527895
they might have different save formats but i could imagine openmw will be able to read a vanilla save. make a backup.

>>714508442 (OP)
Is the game actually fun to play or is it still just a museum walking sim?

>>714528069
vanilla and OMW saves are different/incompatible

>Always use best attack = off
>Spears
>Only one good attack type
>Forced to time strafe and attack key hits accurately
Truest gameplay loop of the combat in the game

>>714516370
>>714512069
>Better performance and stability
I replayed the original a year ago with a lot of mods and didn't experience any kind of massive performance or bug issues to speak of.
>optional multiplayer function
Don't care, don't want to play multiplayer
>less mod support
This is a problem, i'd consider it if it had better mod support but I definitely don't want less mod support.

I've heard it also runs on phones or something which seems like a gimmick i'd never be interested in.
Overall it sounds like a lot of shit I don't need with little/no major benefit and loss of mods being a huge drawback.
Maybe I'll check again in a few years.

Ewww it's a Fargoid

>>714528209
what sort of gameplay changes are you expecting out of this mostly technical engine reimplementation?

if you want my opinion on the game, it always has been fun. there's probably mods a few of your particular gripes.

It's fun, but requires human level IQ

>>714528248
thanks
will avoid until i finish my original save

Don't care.
Still using MWSE.

>>714508783
You control the mods you install

so this is what openmw looks like after total overhaul mod list? It feels underwhelming
Am I missing something to make it look like other modded screenshots?

>>714530216
different shaders?

>>714530080
still a virgin too

did they finally fix birthsign attribute changes being hard attribute increases instead of soft ones that dont get counted for level ups?
also fuck whoever keeps chugging training exploit fixes into the main openmw client instead of into the unified fix patch. stop fixing the best qol exploits, they are famous for a reason.
>>714508783
bitch there was prostitution rings, drug cartels and babymaking with child raising mods already by 2004 for this game.

>>714530385
>also fuck whoever keeps chugging training exploit fixes into the main openmw client instead of into the unified fix patch. stop fixing the best qol exploits, they are famous for a reason.
qrd?

>>714520812
You did. There's some pretty fancy shaders for openmw.

>>714527145
You say this every thread and don't reply when you're linked mods to fix it. You're an idiot and should probably jump in front of highway traffic.

>>714530216
the shaders linked here >>714521319 roughly look like this in clear weather
they're a bit over the top and too vibrant in my eyes but maybe you'll like them

>>714531068
on uesp, you can see that sometimes under bugs, it says that "morrowind code patch fixes this" or "patch for purists fixes this" but sometimes you also see "openmw fixes this"
I get it for basic stuff, but why that also includes timesaving exploits that everyone wants to use is beyond me. now I have to open the console and simulate the exploit. no nigga I will not run to master trainers after level 15 cause every trainer in the game only teaches to like level 48 of each skill. running to master trainers makes a 5 minute level up into a 20 minute one. just let me drain skill. at least let me damage skill if drain is too "lore breaking" for your nigger asses.

>>714530216
Turn your shaders on.

did they add controller support like the xbox morrowind yet?

>>714531498
adding on to this. I dont know about code patch, but patch for purists is fully openmw compatible, and they can just make a morrowind code patch mod for openmw, or just make it toggleable options in the settings menu of the client. but nope they wont. they do for most things, but not for others. guess they dont want the talent to leave by appearing too tyrannical.
but honestly, there is like 4 fix mods for morrowind, codepatch purist atlas optimization, just add them to the list of mods to download in your guides. it aint gonna appear too scary to newbies. your shortest guide already got like 30 mods in it.
