Main Quest

[Zini]

With the recent changes in the master branch at least a part of the main quest should be playable now. It would be nice to know how far you can get and what is blocking progress. If anyone has a bit of spare time, please make a test run and report the results.

Is there a command or something to "start a new game"? As in, to go through the whole Seyda Neen sequence?

[Zini]

Use the --new-game command line switch.

I couldn't get further after arriving at Caius, because the topic wasn't there. I used addtopic to bypass this, lets see how far I get with that.

// Edit: Same problem with Hasphat Antabolis.

That is unfortunate. And strange. In theory all dialogue filters should work now. Either we are missing something or there is a bug.

btw. are you sure that all dialogue scripts along the way executed correctly? If they don't, that can obvious break a quest in various ways, maybe including a missing dialogue topic. The console should have some information about scripting problems and you can get better diagnostics with the --script-verbose switch.

[scrawl]

No scripting errors on the console.

Also, I'm stuck now. I'm trying to give Sharn-Gra Muzgob the skull and the dialogue response looks ok, but its still in my inventory and I can't get further.

[Zini]

I can confirm your findings regarding Caius. I guess someone will have to look at the dialogue in the CS and see what filters and topics apply here so we can examine them.

I'm not sure why, exactly, but using the --new-game command line switch gives me this output in the console:

Is there a reason for all of the loading of cells?

[Zini]

Is there a reason for all of the loading of cells?

Yes. Some of the new game scripts access random objects in various cells. OpenMW needs to locate these, which means it needs to load cells that potentially can contain these objects, until it has found all of them. Basically another example of bad scripting in Morrowind.esm.

[Greendogo]

Oh, yeah, the "Startup" script.
