I just wanted to share with this thread the latest update from OpenMW. All the media attention that multiplayer mod got resulted in renewed media attention for OpenMW and as a result they've gotten an influx of new developers, plus a few old-timers returning. The upcoming 0.43 update is already a larger update than 0.42 and will probably include some significant updates to OpenMW-CS too. Shadows are also being worked on, support for different mesh formats besides .nif is being worked on, lots of good stuff  http://openmw.org/en/

I wish I had more spare time else I'd try to contribute  I love their update videos, I wish every game had that level of detail in their changelogs.

whats the consensus on Patch for Purists? https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45096/ it's apparently the MPP except heavily documented and includes basically every fix you would want I think? looking for someone like stuporstar to read through the modlist and find something bad

I think the idea is good, but I haven't yet looked at what in particular they do different than the MPP. It really did turn into a Morrowind-like-I-want-it project even when it was ThePal doing it. My ko criterium is if the PfP does the whole insane "let's replace every single misc item nail that has been put in a wall with a static so people can't pull them out and have whatever's hanging on them float" thing. It was an absurd pain in the rear end to work with when I made Anthology Solstheim and it's just so unnecessary. The second one would be if they make that rather dubious choice of putting the items you can gain when you kill people in the Vivec Arena in a chest so idiots who don't grab them off the corpses of their enemies don't come crying when the Archmage's corpse despawned after 72 hours and they lost their Necromancer's Amulet. That's not a patch, that's protecting dumbasses from consequences. Atrayonis fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Sep 20, 2017 |

He mentions it's not MGSO compatible, but I wonder how it plays with other enhancements. It could make a good baseline for modular modding setups like STEP.

Traveling Merchants adds some NPC merchants that walk around, but keep in mind A) in Morrowind when you're too far away it loads out of memory and they will stop moving and B) it has made previous games of mine unstable (this was a long time ago, though).

My favourite Elder Scrolls UI is, weirdly, the XBOX version of Morrowind's. It let you do stuff real quick, dragging icons around can get tedious.

They rejigged the UI to make more sense with a controller. It's tabbed instead of windowed and generally works quite differently despite the similar appearance.

There are mods that replace the icons for the potions and scrolls to make them more readable so that you don't have to hover the mouse cursor on them to know what they do. That's the biggest flaw of Morrowind's UI IMO. http://mw.modhistory.com/download--2339 https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44374/

There's a mod called Skyrim UI, complete with an animated title screen menu (which is the only bit I use anyway). Not sure how much better it is, depends what your problem with the MW UI is.

That's the biggest flaw of Morrowind's UI IMO. The more important mod for me was one that renamed potions so they were sorted by effect instead of magnitude. I want my restore health potions all together, not the Greater Restore Health next to Greater Levitation. Quick look makes me think I was either using this mod http://mw.modhistory.com/download-1-15316 Or one very similar to it.

I installed it this morning to remind myself what problems I had with it. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game I enjoyed a lot closer to its release date, but after playing Oblivion and Skyrim, there were things I didn't like about its older UI that always turned me off from playing more than a few hours.Sandwich Anarchist posted:Morroblivion This looks nice. Is it complete enough to use? It seems like they've completed a ton of stuff, but what's causing it not to be 'released'? Vavrek posted:I'm obviously insane and think Morrowind's is the best of the three, so help me out: what are you looking for in a UI? What sort of things make a UI friendly to you? Just from playing on and off today, I'm not a fan of the small windows on an already small window area. I guess that's easy enough to fix if I can find a resolution mod, and moving to a larger monitor seems to help there as well. Skwirl posted:The Morrowind UI has some issues but it's way better than the consolfied UIs in the later games, though if he was running mods he probably wasn't using the vanilla UI. I've never touched the UI with mods, only really have used visual enhancements mods in the past. I'd say I prefer the console-based menus of later games, but maybe that's because they just fill the screen. What do you guys think makes the Morrowind UI better? The fact that everything's there on one screen? Cat Mattress posted:There are mods that replace the icons for the potions and scrolls to make them more readable so that you don't have to hover the mouse cursor on them to know what they do. That's the biggest flaw of Morrowind's UI IMO. Also a good point on the UI, I'm not a fan of the icon-only approach for my inventory. This should help that.

From the FAQ: quote:Morrowind: 100% of the main Morrowind game has been completed, and is fairly well debugged (details here). There is very little that gets in the way of a complete Morrowind experience. I actually had no idea myself it was this finished. May have to check it out. Edit: Still looks like rear end, though.

why the gently caress would you want to play morrowind in oblivions engine resize the ui windows you dork yes morrowind's ui is fantastic because you can see everything from one screen. also if you click the top right corner of any window you can pin it to your active screen. want a minimap? you got it buster. even if you hated the UI why would you give up the morrowind mechanics and aesthetic that make it worth playing?

I have to agree - the original Morrowind engine with the tweaks from MCP is the best mouse and keyboard experience you'll get on an elder scrolls game. That is, until they start adding additional features in to OpenMW.
