After discussion in https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3979, I decided to make this topic. I might be wrong, but I feel like there are some issues on the bug tracker being held up because of uncertainty about how to proceed on them. Lately, MiroslavR has been doing lots of great work, ...

I'm trying to clean up the bug tracker a little, and there are some issues I would like to close as duplicates. Any objections or opinions? Basically what I want to do is close issues that have the same underlying cause, leaving the one with the most accurate description, or the earliest one. https:...

The second hilariously breaks the main questline of Morrowind by lowering the health of the main antagonist before the protagonist meets him lower than zero due to oversights in a vanilla script - which didn't work properly in original engine. I don't think it's quite that bad, if you are meaning t...

I didn't take offense, but I thought you had a point about this being different from vanilla, and Atahualpa had one that there could have been discussion instead of me just making the decision myself. I'm thinking now that this should probably be changed to vanilla behavior. The vanilla behavior isn...

On scripted animation states: before the fix, this is what happens if you revisit the heart chamber after the main quest. The destroyed state is accomplished by an animation, one that OpenMW needed to remember so it would stay destroyed. In Tribunal, this bug could actually block progress in a dung...

Bug #3576: Minor differences in AI reaction to hostile spell effects

I wrote a response in the linked topic. But anyway, the main issue here could be rewritten like "AI followers counted the friendly-fire magic effects cast on them differently from original game" or something.

Yeah, looking back, maybe I shouldn't have done that. The main goal of that change was not that part, it was counting each effect in a spell or enchantment as a separate "hit" for when followers decide to go hostile, and this is what the bug report title was referring to, but I added that ...

Yeah as I noted in that PR, the commit immediately before that PR is merged does not have the problem, while the merging commit does have it, so I'm pretty sure that the problem is there.

I found a bug yesterday that I think is important enough that 0.41.0 should be delayed until it's fixed. https://bugs.openmw.org/issues/3646 There's one other bug, not as important, but I think it would still be good to have in the release. https://bugs.openmw.org/issues/3648 I think I have a fix fo...

However, this would make creating the news posts more time-consuming, especially if they were written by a non-developer. Yeah, one thing about explaining bugs is that unless it's a pretty straightforward bug I think it would be difficult for anyone but the person(s) who researched and fixed it to ...
