If we had a keen developer on any platform and they were to redo the CMake in the style advised by this blog (https://pabloariasal.github.io/2018/02/19/its-time-to-do-cmake-right/) I'm pretty sure it would resolve most of the issues we have on Windows (excluding the bother of actually acquiring the ...

There are mods for Vanilla MW not running on OpenMW, due to missing binary compatibility, that's what I am addressing here. This kind of mod will literally never be compatible with OpenMW, no matter how much of it you change. If you make a mod that modifies the original engine's executable it's not...

One more thing that will need changing is the link at the top of the readme.

Existing stuff is still available, but new PRs and new commits to existing PRs aren't triggering a rebuild.

I've added some error messages to the CI script in this PR: https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/pull/1731

The AppVeyor CI was in Scrawl's name, and it seems to not be happening any more. My guess is that he'd logged in with his GitHub account and now he's got rid of that, it's got rid of AppVeyor, too.

Someone needs to reactivate it.

Hint: it's going to be exactly the speed that you on your own can proceed.

Most things that OpenMW needs to do can be done more easily by learning how to use OSG and then doing them in OSG than by knowing how to do them already in Direct3D/OpenGL and doing them there. Software development usually gets easier with abstraction layers, not harder, hence why new programmers ar...

From the IDE, building is as simple as right-clicking on the project you want to build and choosing build, so I'd imagine building from the command line would require you to use vcvars64.bat to get msbuild on the path and then you could just msbuild whichever project file you wanted.

The Qt download for the CI script froze for me, the filesize got to 250MB and stopped increasing. I had to stop the script (with ctrl+c), delete the qt archive/executable, and then rerun the script. It's grabbing the official installer from the official download location, so if that happened it sho...
