Textures are stored in BSA files, right? Perhaps OpenMW could check on each launch to see if there are any new or modified .bsa files (using a non-cryptographic hash), compress the textures in them to a format that works best on that platform, and cache them for quick loading in the future.

Making progress so far with parsing the .ESMs used by Morrowind, Bloodmoon, Tribunal, and Morrowind GOTY for Xbox (which doesn't add any new records or subrecords compared to PC's Morrowind GOTY). However, the OpenMW wiki page lacks documentation on several record types and their subrecords: LTEX NA...

You don't actually need an import/export capability. A standalone tool that did XML to binary and back conversion would probably do the job. That said, the fact that we don't fully understand all the bits in the file format makes it a little difficult. I'll take a crack at it. I always wished (and ...

Wow! I wonder if something similar is used to make landscaping cities easier.

After all, it would be a pain to have to place ...

Here's a test of putting the MW inside the O instead of outside. Please excuse the programmer-art quality.

I've gone ahead and filled out the requests for them to whitelist most of the needed packages. Hopefully it won't take too long for them to get back to us.

Perhaps have a full moon with a gear overlaid, with the gear spinning while the moon stays in place. Maybe the gear could be star-shaped somehow?

Ah. Sorry, I'm more used to the Command and Conquer series where most of the installments (the 2D ones, anyway) use very similar formats.

I didn't mean "how hard would it be to port Skyrim's animations," I meant "how hard would it be to port animations in Skyrim's format to Morrowind's format if we found a Skyrim modder who was willing to make animations for us." If SmartBody support is added, that would make thing...

The Example Suite is not dead, but is on hold until the OpenCS is in a more finished state. That's definitely good news! We are going to use the OpenCS entirely instead of reusing anything we've made previously using Bethesda's Construction Set, and so we are obviously not able to do much work on i...
