OpenMW Description

An attempt to reimplement the popular role playing game Morrowind. OpenMW is an attempt to reimplement the popular role playing game Morrowind. The project's goal is to be a fully playable, open source implementation of the game. You must own Morrowind to use OpenMW.To give you a better idea of what this project is about, here are some of the aims for the future of OpenMW:* be a full featured reimplementation of Morrowind* run natively on Windows, Linux and MacOS X* support all existing content, including Tribunal, Bloodmoon and all user created mods* allow much greater modability: change game rules, create new spell effects, etc through scripting.* fix system design bugs, like the "dirty" GMST entries in mods, and the savegame "doubling" problem* improve the interface and journal system* (possibly) improve game mechanics, physics, combat and AI* (possibly) support multiplayer at some point* (possibly) improve graphics to use more modern hardwareIt's a pretty ambitious list, and there's a lot left to do before these goals can become reality. You should check below for information about the current development status.OpenMW is released under the GNU General Public License version 3. It is written in the D programming language, and all source code has been written completely from scratch. It also builds on various other open source tools, most notably OGRE for graphics. Here are some key features of "OpenMW": · loads any interior cell (geometry, items, lights, and evironmental sounds) from the command line · renders maps, with somewhat natural lighting · you can move around in "ghost-mode" using WASD or arrow keys and mouse · partially displays creature meshes, using leveled creature lists · very basic sound and music support · backend can load Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon ESMs and any combination of mods · ignores dirty GMST entries in mods · loads data directly from .esm and .bsa files, as well as from the file system What's New in This Release: · This release adds a GUI (based on MyGUI) that mimics the original Morrowind GUI. · It also adds a scripting engine (Monster) and moves several internal functions over to the scripting system. · The Windows DLL package also has some updates, including a newer openal32.dll that fixes sound issues.
