Play game and activate Morrowind SteamID

Post by strudo76 »

Might be useful as an option for those people with the game on Steam. If Steam is running, it could record the stats as if it were playing Morrowind, with a view to eventually putting screenshots taken in game into the correct location (with thumbnail) for sharing within Steam.

Friendly reminder that the "add non-steam game" feature will let you launch OpenMW (or Notepad, for that matter) through Steam. This won't make the gameplay stats show up under the stock Morrowind entry, but it will allow you to take screenshots through steam.

Ah, didn't know about being able to take screenshots in a non-Steam added game. Currently I've been screen shotting, and saving the files to the correct folder for Morrowind screenshots. Might make it easier this way as the shot files should be in the correct format and file names. Thanks for the tip!

This is basically the idea behind Steam Achievement Manager - is that open source?
