OpenMW 0.47.0: Journey Through Helnim Fields

[@wazabear6916]

This engine has a bright future ahead of it, nice to see it getting some love.

[@LordReems]

This looks great. Thank you for posting your mod list in the description.

[@K1ngCraft]

Looks fantastic! Great set up you've got there!

[@Brunozamp]

It's amazing that a game from 2 decades ago still has a big modding community

[@TheSpellwright]

I've never seen Morrowind so beautiful. Your setup is a little vibrant for my tastes, but between the developing VR branch and continued work towards LUA and Oblivion/Skyrim asset support, OpenMW may become the best way to play Elder Scrolls.

[@MizterMoonshine]

Morrowind is supposed to be a hot and humid place so I kind of wanted to replicate that in the visuals.

Do you have a guide on installing these mods? I play Skyrim with 500 mods, and I would like to start playing Morrowind too since SkyWind is taking too much time.

[@MizterMoonshine]

I have a mod list in the description if you are interested.

[@SourceCodeDeleted]

I couldn't tell this was morrowind at first. Can you show off Balmora and make a guid for this installation please?

[@tixor7803]

Hey, how do i install openmw 0.47? I can only find 0.46.

[@ASpoonfulOfJimmy]

0.46 is the last stable build. You can get 0.47 features from the lasted nightly build, but most people are waiting for the official 0.47 release. When it does come out, though, it will have much more stable and optimized features like lighting improvements and distant land.

Morrowind Acoustic Overhaul

[@jeremymiller4913]

Very Impressive! I was trying to copy your mod list and download them all, but I could not find these... It seems most of them have been hidden on Nexus. +TES3A Abecean Isles +Rename Fatigue to Stamina +VGreetings +Mystical and Religious Maar Gan +Sacred Molag Mar - Town of Piligrims +Cozy Hla Oad and Gnaar Mok +Grim Khuul and Enchanted Ald Velothi +Fabulous Suran +Balmora The Awakening

[@MizterMoonshine]

Hmm I don't know why those town mods were hidden. VGreetings is a very old mod not available on the nexus, you can probably find it on Morrowind Modding History. TES3A Abecean Isles is a preview of a mod project only available from their discord, I wouldn't recommend it for normal gameplay. The mod that renames Fatigue to Stamina is available here www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/358

[@jeremymiller4913]

@@MizterMoonshine amazing, thank you sir! 🙌

[@rosenrot6871]

For once, I actually am impressed with OpenMW. Great to see the improved distant land and moving grass (I'm guessing it uses a similar method to how MGE XE instances it?). I don't think I could give up MWSE but will look forward to it hitting version 1.0 someday.

[@MizterMoonshine]

Functionally grass works the same as MGE XE. For me, I can do without MWSE as the improved stability of OpenMW, not having to worry about crashing, is better than any mods the script extender offers for the original game. Also I think there's a good chance OpenMW will get some equivalent of MWSE this year. It's an exciting time for the new engine.

[@rosenrot6871]

@@MizterMoonshine I do look forward to it if that's the case. Do you think some type of godray implementation would be possible? That and better typography would be much needed I think. Thank you for this video

[@MizterMoonshine]

@@rosenrot6871 Of course, anything really is possible with OpenMW, it just requires a developer with the skills and time to actually implement it. We could even see volumetric lighting eventually like in Skyrim SE. Though as I said in another comment the engine is pretty much complete now, which has freed up the developers to work on things like distant land, shadows, and grass.

[@Elias-gz1cp]

Looks amazing! Which mods are you using for the 3rd person diagonal movement and head movement?

[@MizterMoonshine]

It's not a mod, it's a new feature in OpenMW 0.47

I am very confused, is this still morrowind?

[@gm2407]

It is TES 3 Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuilt (which is where the location of the gameplay footage is from). There is a new wrap arround engine which improves the stability of the game as well as graphical quality. Also 300 or so mods have been added so meshes, textures, sounds ect have been upscalled as well. It is Morrowind but with more plastic surgery than hollywood.

[@employesous-payedumbrellam7234]

Honestly that's beautiful , but... That's not morrowind anymore . Just my point of view.

Have you ever considered putting your MO2 mods folder into a compressed archive (zip, 7z, rar, etc), putting said archive onto a filesharing website, and letting lazy people like me download it from there? I would love to try out this modlist, but if installing ~100 mods and making sure everything works takes up a whole day, I'd hate to see how long 300 will take. This is entirely up to you, though.

[@MizterMoonshine]

As I've mentioned before I cannot redistribute these mods. I can make a quick tutorial video on how to get the basics setup which doesn't take long but it won't be for a while.

[@1luarluar1]

is this Morrowind?...The graphics is too advanced, I prefer the original engine, there was more mystery.

[@gm2407]

I like vanilla Morrowind, however I find the game runns better in OpenMW even if it is vanilla only. There are also better screen resolution, detail on land and water with existing assets without losing that feel you are refering to.

[@parsiphal6831]

Hello give me please this morrowind

[@MultiQuad]

Why is everything so bright? This looks like a generic mmo, not the Vvardenfell I renember.

[@MizterMoonshine]

Custom shaders. I have always thought of Morrowind as a humid, almost tropical place. Besides, this is not Vvardenfell, but the Morrowind mainland from Tamriel Rebuilt.

[@taLLdavid33]

This version sucks. They took out the ability to enchant cast when strikes on ranged weapons. It ruined my file and my entire experience. Who thought it would be a good idea to implement a bug from the original versio ?!

[@vee1766]

It's so DAMN annoying when people showcases Elder Scrolls (or Fallout for that matter) mods in third person... Why ? Why would you do that ? What's the point ? Nobody cares about the janky ass third person animations of Bethesda games, that's not what we want to see.

[@bes5164]

what a terrible job...this does not look like Morrowind at all, more like The Lord of the Rings Online

[@curtiswong7280]

That's probably because the area he's playing in is set on the Morrowind mainland, not the subcontinent of Vvardenfell that the original game is set in.
