I didn't know cc9cii had a youtube channel. Instantly subscribed! Those videos of playing Oblivion in the OpenMW engine are a breakthrough to a whole new realm of possibilities!

Objects would ideally use one texture. Actually, the more objects can share a texture, the better. This is the purpose of mods like Project Atlas, which does indeed rework meshes to make then share a texture atlas. Ray tracing is still too far off to see, but a more immediately useful step before t...

Has anybody else looked into this? Would this be something you could write into the OpenMW code? All Bethesda games from Oblivion onward had footstep sounds that changed depending on the terrain type and what type of footwear the player was wearing, i.e. iron boots, shoes, bare feet

Is each release already planned out with a set number of fixes and features? i.e. 0.49 to have this many fixes and additions, 0.50 to have this, 0.51 to have that....?

Has anybody considered hiring a couple virtual assistants who are highly experienced in asset design and programming? It would be a costly donation but I think getting some professionals on board would help.

tl;dr shadows/reflections are expensive, and there's only so much the engine can do without remaking every model in the game, but there are improvements coming down the wire. Install Morrowind Optimization Patch and Project Atlas for fps gain. Technical explanation follows: Morrowind is notoriously...

This is already done via scrawl's cell pre-loading, including doors into interiors and other activators. You shouldn't ever see a cell loading screen. Wait a minute, you’re saying OpenMW’s “cell pre-loading” has already eradicated cell loading times to virtually nil when switching between exterior ...

Someone a long time ago came up with the idea of preloading all exterior/interior cells during initial startup. It would probably take hours, depending on how many mods were installed. What about utilizing RAM for preloading anticipated local exterior cells during gameplay? If I’m in exterior cell [...

Ace, is it possible to transfer all data content from cdrom to storage drive so that data transfer rates are exponentially faster?
