Re: Software Rendering Mode for OpenMW

I would be interested in seeing a fork/alternate version of OpenMW that's more of a "Chocolate Doom"-equivalent. Something that plays Morrowind as lean as possible, and with the addition of a software renderer. That's unlikely. We don't have the original Morrowind sources to make a "...

Re: Software Rendering Mode for OpenMW

What I'm saying is that GPU utilisation isn't necessary for games like Morrowind, which didn't even look good when it released in 2002. OpenMW can run Morrowind, but isn't Morrowind itself. OpenMW's rendering is more complex than Morrowind, and is likely to become more complicated as time goes on. ...

Re: Suggestion to add repair functionality for savegames

Have you filed a bug report with the affected savegames? Ideally there should be no need to repair a save because they shouldn't be bugged in the first place. Unlike the vanilla game, we can fix issues that lead to save/load problems, rather than resorting to repairing the saves themselves.

Re: C++ NPC get race command

What are you trying to do? Where and why do you need the name of a race instead of the NPC name? This feels like the kind of thing that would be better as a mod, but you haven't really said what your ultimate goal is.

Re: Rust for OpenMW?

I suppose there is no way of knowing for sure, but I was just wondering what the devs behind OpenMW thought of the language and if it would have had any benefit for OpenMW whatsoever. The main problem I have with Rust is that it relies on a single provider. At best you may have some different backe...

Re: shadows against the walls

The sun is down, but I still have a shadow. Moonlight can cast shadows too, and the game has colors for them at night, so they're used. There is the issue that the nighttime shadows don't follow the moon's position (which is difficult when you have two moons moving independently, one larger and dim...

Re: FNAME in data files: a bug or a feature? -)

IIRC, it is a feature for a backward compatibility with original engine's ESM format (which is pretty pointless since we do not store scripts bytecode, so there is no compatibility anyway). It's important for properly reading the original engine's esm/esp files, and currently omwaddon is just an es...

Re: omw 0.48 save file format

Save games aren't forward-compatible. 0.48 can/should be able to load saves from earlier versions like 0.47, but 0.47 can't load saves from later versions like 0.48.

Re: Whatever happened to... Overgrowth/Fluid Animation?

Looks like your link is broken (it's for a new post, not the presentation).
