Morrowind Acoustic Overhaul

[PeterBitt]

Logitech and I made a sound and music mod for Morrowind, its available for download now: http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43092/?

We look forward for making a OpenMW version

I love the outside noises. They don't change the feel of the area; they truly enhance it.

The thunder/rain effects may be a bit too loud for interiors, but quality-wise pretty damn good.

I don't get particularly excited about the combat sounds. But I guess they are a nice addition. The music however... I wouldn't use music from Oblivion in this mod. Perhaps you could contact Leon van der Stadt. He has a tons of great tracks that fit with the feel of Morrowind.

Overall, should be a pretty good pack to add.

Very Nice ! I hope to see a version for OpenMW when possible. It will be nice to have a sound mod to match the new engine and the graphics that will likely follow it.

I rather like the idea of having the PC have it's own voice in combat, though I would like to see ways of customizing this later on to maybe suite certain personality types .

I particularly like the ash storm sounds which are far less obnoxious than the vanilla versions. I've noticed that this is true of almost all features in this module.

Good job!

Sounds like you tried it ingame? How was it going? Does everything sounds like in the videos?
Hope it does

And thanks guys!

We forgot to mention in the main readme file that in order to disable original music system (hardcoded in exe) you not only need that MCP feature, but also should delete all music files from original "Music/Explore" and "Music/Battle" folders (or even better delete these folders all together). Sorry for those who encountered problems (skipping music) due to this omission.

OpenMW will not support MWSE or MWSE specific instructions, so we wait for scripting language enhancements (post 1.0) that would allow us to fully port this mod.

Interior sounds are a very subtle but amazing touch! I love what you've done.

What extra scripting features do you need?

[Logitech]

something that would allow us to attach scripts to actors. In MWSE xFirstNPC returns actor reference in the players cell and xNextRef function is used to find the rest. Returning the players target reference would also be handy.

Right, the ability to use reference variables to target scripts. Example: target startcombat=>player. This can be done using MWSE, but in morrowind you cannot have a reference variable. Likewise, being able to reference a variable for items/containers/NPCs/etc. Zini already knows the expansions that MWSE did to the scripting language, and its up to the devs to figure out what (if any) expansions are done. If there is a replacement of any of the MWSE functions, then a simple text editor find n replace function would in theory make funtions using those scripts run in openmw
