OpenMW 0.43.0

[Lamoot]

@Atahualpa: Great work on the videos!

Two comments I have: One is on the OpenMW-CS video. At one point you mention how the editor is unpopular for contributors (or along those lines), which sounds negative. It'd sound better with something like "the editor doesn't attract as many developers".

The second, in the main video showing the rain-particles-on-the-water-effect could last longer. I feel it switches too quickly to the next feature (about rain particles not stuck to the player anymore).

But these are minor things really, all in all I enjoyed watching the release commentaries as with all previous releases.

Thanks.

You're right, of course. I tend to being a bit negative in the videos in general -- maybe some kind of overcompensation in regards to many other videos you can watch on YouTube.

That one is already on my list. There are other scenes which suffer from the same problem, but for another reason: I had to cut the video basically without exact time stamps for the individual scenes. So, yeah, pacing will be better in the final version.

@raevol: Do we have a changelog up yet? I can't find one.

Would anyone mind if we made a push to track down and review controller support? There are obvious things like menu support and the few bugs with double clicking still left but I don't have the time to track down any other outstanding playability issues with game pad support. It would be nice if some kind of call to arms was asked of our user base along with this release.

You can find the current change log in our team subforum.

I didn't get a negative feeling from any of your videos, they're all light-hearted and easy to watch. It's just that particular line that stood out, no more.

Great to hear that. And thank you for doing the videos and hearing feedback

Atahualpa is cool. Your videos are great

Just logged in to say that.

And that I'm looking forward to 0.43

Besides, Atahualpa was a cool character in Inca2 by Coktel Vision, defunct games company.

Keep up the good work!

Quick update:
The second version of the editor video is ready. However, I'll upload it after the engine video which is not finished yet; please be patient. -- Order is everything.

Well, historically, Atahualpa was the last ruler of the Inca Empire, so it makes sense to name a character after him in such a game setting (which, btw, sounds ridiculous).

Please have a look at the second version of the release commentaries, especially at the new scene transitions and the pacing. Both videos come with English subtitles.

>>> Engine Video <<<
>>> Editor Video <<<

Anyway, the release isn't finished yet. On my personal to-do list are:

• Revision of the change log
• German translation for the change log
• German subtitles for the videos
• Video thumbnails

Nice work on the videos as usual Atahualpa - they're definitely my favourite part of the release process. The only thing that I thought needed changing was when you say 'Or what do you think why everyone loves my Nord character?' - it sounds a little strange for some reason. Maybe change it to 'Or why do you think everyone loves my Nord character?'

Thanks for your feedback, PlutonicOverkill.
Well, when writing the script, I thought that your version sounded somewhat strange. It's probably because of the semantic ambiguity. Anyway, if that remains the only complaint, I'd leave it at that and avoid the trouble of rewriting, re-recording, rearranging, and re-rendering.
