frogge posted:Wherever Steam places the files, so C\:Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\common\morrowind. So you basically have two options: 1. The better option in the long run: uninstall Steam and reinstall it somewhere else where you have full access. "C:\Games\Steam" maybe? 2. Log into your PC's admin account, navigate to "C\:Program Files\" and right-click the Steam folder and hit Properties, then go to the Security tab and highlight your own account (or the generic user group) and grant full read/write/modify access by checking all the boxes and hitting OK.

turn off the TV posted:Uh the T:R website specifically suggests installing the game outside of program files if you're encountering errors. So since this is in C:\Program Files, the actual Morrowind.ini is probably in C:\Users\%Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind and that one needs to be edited.

I'm phoneposting but I will try those suggestions later when I'm home until one works. I haven't had any issues with any other mods so this is a mite confusing.

Still a WIP, as OpenMW itself is. Still, from the streams Zhakaron has posted, it looks really really good and is pretty much the kind of Morrowind Multiplayer that people have always wanted in their single player game. And yes, mods work with it (it runs a checksum so that everyone needs to have the same mods active), so you can visit Stirk with a group of people if you want to.

OpenMW 0.42.0 is out. Distant Land is a cool addition but I'm not sure if I'd ever use it; the draw distance mist is like a good third of Morrowind's atmosphere for me.

Cross-Section posted:OpenMW 0.42.0 is out. You'd be surprised how little it actually detracts from the game's atmosphere. In Oblivion, the entire world is shaped like a bowl, so at any given place you can almost see just about everywhere else. In Morrowind, the game world is shaped almost literally the exact opposite, it's an island with a giant volcano in the middle. This means that even with an infinite view distance, you're still only seeing small chunks of the world at a time. And even still, Morrowind is hilly enough that you're never in full view of all that much of it anyway. Try it!

I like Morrowind being kinda misty too, personally, but having good draw distance can totally change how you think of the game world. Like you realize that the dwarven ruins are always looming in the distance in plain sight from Balmora. And you also realize that Ebonheart is just across the water from Vivec, so the Empire must have been super aggressive with their expansionism.

Back when I was first trying out different draw cell distances, I ended up settling for something pretty modest like 7 or 8 cells, primarily because of the FPS differences but also because it made poo poo feel so...small. You can't see everything like in Oblivion, but it can still show just how physically close many landmarks are to each other.

Good points, all. I'll give it a try when 1.0 eventually comes around (which shouldn't be that long given that all that appears to be left is shadows and some AI stuff).

You can point the install to anywhere else. You can even move the entire MW folder, change the install path in Steam and then use repair to reintegrate it.

You can just move them from their current spot to the new Library folder, tell Steam to delete local content and then tell it to download to the new Library folder; it'll find the files already there, verify them and be done with it.

So hyped for a V1 of OpenMW, after which we're going to start getting some of the really good poo poo that could never be implemented because of Morrowind's janky old engine. My wishlist is: Non-buggy fully integrated implementation of GCD or some kind of variant with uncapping Much slower melee combat with some kind of implementation of follow through on attacks and dodge rolls Improved enemy AI + enemy placement/ambushes Better animations Rejigging of how all of the attributes function, making Willpower, Agility, Luck useful Caps on to-hit and dodge chance, that can vary depending on the target in question Better sneak system Natively implemented Witcher-style alchemy rules (Give potions a toxicity value) Natively implemented over-buff rules (There was one mod that did this that was really cool tied it to the Personality stat) Proper Blocking/Guard Breaking Lots of eye candy edit: I've seen people talk about getting "Dark Souls" style combat for Morrowind/Skyrim but I don't think that'd be a good fit. Too much time spent killing mooks and no real "boss" fights to really push the system. Morrowind for me is all about the really nice slow progression.

Node posted:I think you want a different game Not really, a lot of those are just tweaks within the existing systems which have already (to a limited extent) been implemented by mods. I don't think many people would disagree that: Morrowind's multiplier levelling system is wank and the community has developed much more elegant solutions than Bethesda Morrowind's melee combat can be very spammy The AI is dumb as bricks The animations are lol-worthy Some attributes are hidden "trap" options that provide little benefit, if any, to players Morrowind gets very easy as the game goes on The sneak system is pretty painful Blocking sucks etc etc ... Morrowind has my favourite system mechanics, atmosphere and gameplay out of all of the ES Games, it just needs a bit of polishing in places. Polishing not being the same as outright "balancing".

I feel like we're gonna end up with a million mods that attempt to fix the levelling, attributes and combat once it hits 1.0. I also think most of these are going to be terrible because of lack of play testing, modders with weird "visions" and what not. Maybe a few years from now there'll be one or two agreed-upon best mods. I wouldn't mind better animations and AI soon, though.

ive got a custom openmw with tweaked combat variables, its pretty great weapon skill affects damage, base ~70% chance to hit a mudcrab at 10 skill, 90% at 20+, the only ways to miss an attack is to hit an agile enemy works well but favors sanctuary a lot lol

Only thing off the top of my head I 100% would crave is better animations cause that's one of the few things really next to impossible to mod in Morrowind and even the improved stuff out now is very stiff and dated. You can fix up the faces, armor, textures, lighting, etc to a real impressive degree but the skeletons/animations are still very woody.

Good. If anything its TOO wordy. Then again that's a silly complaint to have about a mod that adds text dialogue. In the actual game though, I never felt like having conversations with NPCs so I probably wouldn't notice if it was gone.

I think the LGNPC mods are pretty good. Pax Redoran is a wonderful extension to the vanilla House Redoran experience - though iirc there's a quest where a girl gets pragnent which doesn't really sit well with some of the other quests. There's a lot text dumps too but it's done quite well. The skill masters LGNPC mod gives them all interesting back stories related to their in game books.
