I was looking but can't seem to find a clear answer to this. If a mod asks you to make an additional entry to the Morrowind.ini file, do you now do that change in the settings.cfg file, or the openmw.cfg file? It's kind of hard to find information on it because it's not really explicitly listed in the official docs modding guide anywhere. I was looking on the OM wiki and it said of the settings.cfg file that messing with it was a lot "like the morrowind.ini" however:
Which makes me tend to think you can't add a mod's own custom fields to the explicitly labelled ones listed for the settings. So when a mod like, say, Piratelord's "Creatures" or Skies .IV, both listed as being compatible with OpenMW, ask users to make a change to the Morrowind .ini file, where do we now put that change?The ranges included with each setting are the physically possible ranges, not recommendations.
I read an almost casual sidenote on the table of the OpenMW wiki for the Skies mod this:
So I extrapolate from that, I need edit morrowind.ini, then run some kind of ini importer in OpenMW somewhere, OR I can just punch those custom values into my openmw.cfg file directly. For the record, I'm of the "I'd rather do it directly" variety of user, so if I can just add the weather change ini data to the openmw.cfg file, that would be good to know. But if I need to use some kind of morrowind.ini conversion/importer tool, it would be good to know where to find info on that too.Don't forget to edit your morrowind.ini for adjusting -at least- the cloud speeds and optionally the weather colors and re-run the ini importer, or directly edit those values in openmw.cfg
Thanks for any help!
** side note: on the wiki, the information for Skies.IV is wrong:
That bolded part is dead wrong as per this own forum as of August 2018... might be good to remove that from the wiki page listed above.Rain replacement doesn't work because rain works differently in OpenMW. Thoug you can overwrite with Apel's Rain Replacer N and have working rain. Don't forget to edit your morrowind.ini for adjusting -at least- the cloud speeds and optionally the weather colors and re-run the ini importer, or directly edit those values in openmw.cfg
