OpenMW 0.39.0

What were you having compatibility issues with? I've only ever had problems with really ancient peripheral drivers, and usually these things only work with software that requires a Windows 98 VM anyway. Most of Windows' dominance of the desktop and laptop market is because Microsoft tend to avoid breaking compatibility with things that worked on older versions of the OS. Also, your RAM (2 x 4GB) is more than a 32-bit OS can address anyway, so you're definitely taking a big hit there.

All right, the - hopefully - final engine video has been uploaded. Any reviews are appreciated as I changed quite a bit.

I'm currently finishing the editor video. The long rendering times are slowing me down a lot...

That is the best video you have made so far. You really dealt with those problem areas excellently. The use of wireframe mode was a great idea.

Aaaand the editor video has been uploaded. There weren't many text changes but I re-arranged most scenes. Please, have a look.

I'll do the subtitles and the German translation after getting some sleep.

Thanks a lot, ElderTroll!

I´m guessing those are the fake normal maps made for use with MCP, which is why they light so strangely. Since the old engine did not support true normal mapping even with Morrowind Code Patch, there are close to no mods at the moment that use real normal mapping. You could download Lysol´s Vivec Retexture. There were a few normal maps provided by PeterBritt, but don´t know where to download them. I am currently making normal maps for my assets, though it may be a while before I publish anything. OpenMW- Example Suite is supposed to have normal mapped assets.

Morrowind Rebirth has really shiny rocks too in 0.39, this is the same issue as the textures mentioned above?

How hard would it be for a mod author to fix or update their mod, is it an automated kind of batch process or are normal maps handled in a completely different way which requires manual 'porting' of the textures?

The tag has been applied. Please start the release.

Does this imply the final videos are accurate? Just asking because if there are any objections it will take me some time to apply changes (rendering times). The sooner you complain the better for me.

Just finished watching. Looks good.

Yes.

No idea how these fake bump maps are made though, so I have no idea if it could be an automated process or not.
