Start exploring OpenMW

I'm very interested in the exciting OpenMW project. Today I compiled current git version of OMW and successfully run it.
But I still have some questions (yes, I know, some of them already had their answers on the board, but they're a bit outdated):
1) I'm starting outside a cave. Is it my own lag?
2) Clipping is off. I heard OMW now using Bullet. Is there a way to enable collisions?
3) Touching to objects is laggy, but it's normal due to using OGRE ray-cast. I CAN get the scroll and the torch, and I'm happy :D
4) openmw.cfg contains one line. Is anybody had a plan to add some tuning lines to this file?
5) At this moment I just start reading source, and find out that piece of code:

Code: Select all

enum Actions
    {
      A_Quit,           // Exit the program

      A_Screenshot,     // Take a screenshot

      A_Inventory,      // Toggle inventory screen

      A_Console,        // Toggle console screen

      A_MoveLeft,       // Move player left / right
      A_MoveRight,
      A_MoveUp,         // Move up / down
      A_MoveDown,
      A_MoveForward,    // Forward / Backward
      A_MoveBackward,

      A_Activate,

      A_LAST            // Marker for the last item
    };
Is there some another cheats/hotkeys except described?

6. Can I get outside?
7. The NPCs had their left hands below it's "normal" positions. Is it lag or not?

Thanks for attention!
Kind regards,
Master.

2. No bullet yet. Still in the preparation phase

4. You can put other settings in there. We are using a unified settings model, that combines input from the command line, the cfg file and default settings.

5. Nope

6. Use a door or coc. But no terrain yet and slow.

What about question
7. The NPCs had their left hands below it's "normal" positions. Is it lag or not?
About using door. I received fail message

Code: Select all

loading exterior cell '5, -11'
openmw: /usr/local/include/OGRE/OgreSharedPtr.h:160: T* Ogre::SharedPtr<T>::operator->() const [with T = Ogre::Skeleton]: Assertion `pRep' failed.
Application abort
It's not raised by OMW itself, but by the OGRE, and looks very strange.

My CharGen GUI is almost completely black and absolutely useless. Is it normal for current stage of development?
Here is a link to the screenshot with CharGen GUI and my initial position shown.

That looks very wrong. Never seen it before. System specs please. Also, does that happen only for this window or for all of them (including stats window; press I to bring it up).

Well, I am stumped. Might be MyGUI related. But with the problem not reproducible on my system, I have no idea where to start. Maybe one of our MyGUI gurus can chip in.

Zini wrote: That would be an explanation. Currently OpenMW doesn't support international versions of Morrowind very well.
