OpenMorrowind / OpenCS

[opal]

(  OpenMorrowind is simply put, just Morrowind running on a newer engine.

For more info : https://openmw.org/faq/  )

 

Hi just  wanted to shed some light on how to install the current version of OpenMorrowind.

I have windows8.1 64bit, and this is how I do it.

 

Go to https://openmw.org/downloads/

find the link that says "Github OpenMW Download Page" and click it.

 

On the download page that opens I download the latest OpenMW exe (name may vary) for my OS and the source zip (name may vary) file.

 

Once on my harddrive, I extract the source zip (name may vary) file, I put the OpenMW exe (name may vary) inside the new extracted folder, and open it, the openMW exe file will then overwrite

some of the files in the source folder.

 

After I execute the OpenMW exe (name may vary) file again, it will install OpenMorrowind on my harddrive in a new folder, a folder under ProgramFiles by default. 

 

Then I go to the newly installed OpenMW folder and execute the openmw-wizard, and then I guide it to my Morrowind installation and chose Morrowind.esm. Bloodmoon.esm and Mournhold.esm.

 

 

 

Then I let it import the morrowind.ini settings.

 

When done with the wizard I execute the openmw-launcher.

 

First time I do this I have to chose datafiles on the launcher menu, and then choose the esms and esps that I want, before I can click Play.

Then when Morrowind starts up first time it will start in a window, so I have to go to options and chose fullscreen.

Then from there on everything should be good to go!

 

 

If you chose to start the current  OpenCS, you will be greeted by the following warning. 

"OpenCS is in alpha stage. The code for loading and saving is incomplete. This version of the OpenCS is only a preview. DO NOT use it for real editing."
