Uses FMOD for sound, so not really open source.

The reason why I've been active on the template and example suite is because I want it for upgrading OpenMW's status in Debian and Ubuntu from 'contrib' to 'main'. This means being a first-class citizen, FOSS game-engine, in the eyes of millions of Debian/Ubuntu users. Why is the example suit neces...

CC-BY-SA would stop me from adding my NPC animations, as from what I understand, my further work on it which I would use in my own game would also have to be licensed as SA. So maybe we´ll go with what JohnD is making instead? On the other hand, I can see how CC-BY-SA license makes some very good s...

Could it be the ground textures not lining up properly? Does it occur with vanilla textures?

GOG installers are created with Inno Setup, and can be extracted with innoextract (which is created by the lead dev of the Arx Libertatis project). Since innoextract is free software, it could theoretically be integrated with OpenMW's installation wizard to support installing directly from the GOG i...

Is MWSE even on the roadmap in the first place? If memory serves, previous discussions about extending the scripting language have concluded that OpenMW will eventually need feature parity with MWSE, but that compatibility with MWSE is not likely to be a goal. In other words mods that require MWSE w...

Not talking about any specific mods. Whether they are packaged in BSAs or consist of loose file shouldn't matter.

Not the same bug after all, then. I'm not sure if OpenMW is supposed to be able to read bmp textures or not. Either way, you'd better open a ticket on the bugtracker.

Sounds like bug #3180. Check your log file to see if the problematic textures are in fact TGAs. If they are, opening them and re-saving them with a program such as GIMP should solve the problem.
