OpenMW 0.25.0

[raevol]

Release Draft:

The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.25.0! Grab it from our Downloads Page (https://openmw.org/downloads/) for all operating systems. With the implementation of SoundGen records and the Wander AI Package, this release introduces stomping NPCs. Note that AI Wander must still be called from the console. SoundGen implementation also means that Creatures make noises. Prepare for squealing scrib nostalgia. SDL2 has also been implemented, which stomps out a lot of mouse focus and other UI bugs. Check over the changelog for the rest of the changes in this release.

Known Issues:
- Extreme shaking may occur during cell transitions for some users (enable anti-aliasing as a possible workaround)
- Polish version of Morrowind.esm makes OpenMW crash

I think these were rejected instead of implemented? Correct me if I'm wrong?
Bug #766: Extra space in front of topic links
Bug #795: Sound playing with drawn weapon and crossing cell-border

Any and all corrections and improvements are much appreciated. And I think we are still waiting on the Windows build? Unless I missed it?

Please add this to the list of known issues.

Fixed Launcher running OpenMW and defaulting to Morrowind.ESM when no ESM or ESP is selected

That is not really a fix, since what it removed was not a bug, but a feature. We originally defaulted to Morrowind.esm, if no esm was selected on purpose. But that is not useful anymore, so it got removed.

I think these were rejected instead of implemented? Correct me if I'm wrong?
Bug #766: Extra space in front of topic links
Bug #795: Sound playing with drawn weapon and crossing cell-border

Correct on the first one. Oops. Should not be listed at all.

The second one though is a regular fix.

Is "Launcher now prompts to select data files when none are selected" correct? Also am I correct that we are still waiting for the Windows build?

Is "Launcher now prompts to select data files when none are selected" correct?

Not really. Maybe "Launcher will not start OpenMW when no esm/esp files are selected"? Something along this line.

Also am I correct that we are still waiting for the Windows build?

There are Windows builds from Ace a few posts above. I assume these are okay.

0.25.0 is live! Congrats everyone!

EDIT: I still don't understand how to embed youtube videos in our wordpess posts... every time I paste in the *exact same* code from a previous post, it gets automatically removed. Could someone enlighten me?

[psi29a]

You should just post the Youtube URL and let wordpress take care of the rest. At least that is how my, vanilla, wordpress works. No other 'scripts' or javascript is necessary.

[raevol]

Yea, we discussed that last time, doesn't work on ours. Someone always comes along behind me and fixes it, could that person please share what they do?
