Clearly, you aren't a fan. :) Morrowind is great because it doesn't have "modern" mechanics like quest markers. That's rather rude. You can be a fan of Morrowind, but find various mechanics archaic and outdated. I'm a fan of Morrowind, but do think it could do with quest markers*, better ...

OpenMW follows the xdg variables, so just set $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to different places for each installation, you can wrap the executable in a little script to set the variables up and start openmw. On Linux at least. Does it try to read those variables on Windows too? IIRC, Windows ...

Bloodmoon at least, probably Tribunal too, has loose files that need to be installed too. I don't remember if the OpenMW installation wizard allows installing the expansions on an existing install or not, but presuming any mods you have are installed into separate folders as recommended, you can try...

An MW script from ESP can do it only if every target object has an unique ID, what is not a thing for strongholds or Ghostgate. So a target plugin also needs to replace every stronghold object to an unique one. Maybe Lua scripting framework will allow to disable/enable all objects with given ID in ...

Is a simple Lua interface with distant objects a feasible idea, allowing disable/enable of statics? Ideally a script would be able to access and change certain properties of object instances regardless if it's distant or local/loaded. A script could just go myobject->disable(); and it would simply ...

Would it be possible to fix it with a "content fix mod" a-la Patch for Purists? I would imagine so. I forget if Morrowind objects can have an "initially disabled" state, or if they're always initially enabled until a local script disables them, but in the worst case scenario, th...

The idea of Lua scripting is not to do the same as C++, but to do much more that was possible before. For example I would like to see an advanced AI. Not just "like in later games", but really advanced. Modern RPG are too focused on graphics and animation and don't really care about AI. B...

Funny enough, I just ran into this the other day:

The argument seems to be you'd never need any of these functionalities since the API can always be extended and should be powerful enough. No, the argument is that much of what's needed can be provided with a built-in interface, and that the compatibility, stability, and security issues outweigh th...

What is the reasoning behind that drop-down menu? The drop-down menu is to show a list of "games" (esms that don't depend on another esm), and the list of plugins that appear under it are plugins that depend on that game. What can happen in a case like this is you have a mod for Morrowind...
