2026-03-13T03:00:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <lostpancake> updated the mod individually and it still happens, I frequently notice that services are much, much cheaper than they should be and speechcraft with merchants go too smoothly and I need to reload to fix it
2026-03-13T04:02:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopaba> All this modding is turning me into some sort of psycho. I'm starting to think the launcher has negative utility for managing your load order lmao. It's just so much easier to rearrange things in text.
2026-03-13T05:44:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> IDE  modding is the fastest. Nothing can beat it imo.
2026-03-13T05:44:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> Even if skeleton key does everything I'll probably mostly use that.
2026-03-13T07:13:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> @mym34 You probably have the best answer for this  😄

2026-03-13T07:56:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <mym34> Hi, could you check the logs for errors? Using F10 or opening the file openmw.log
2026-03-13T08:30:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <lostpancake> I think it has something to do with the game running for a while, I tried to open the game and replicate it just then but its not happening, ill keep an eye out during a long session and give you the log and the steps to maybe reproduce it. Im playing a speechcraft/merchant thief and I only started noticing when the pop up for disposition change from trade stopped popping up when closing trade windows and trainer prices suddenly

2026-03-13T15:47:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> does this look right
2026-03-13T15:48:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> seems fine if your missing data just run install again and it only does what it needs too
2026-03-13T15:48:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> this is all thats left (previous screenshot was couple hours ago)

2026-03-13T15:49:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> once thats all done downloading i just boot up openmw and good to go?
2026-03-13T15:51:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> no you run configurator next
2026-03-13T15:51:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> umo just handles downloads
2026-03-13T15:51:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> renames/tes3cmd things
2026-03-13T15:54:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> if i want to add Voices of Vvardenfell + Dynamic actors to Morrowind Starter Pack, do i just install those manually?
2026-03-13T16:06:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> For a list like that yeah you can probably just throw them at the end and be fine.
2026-03-13T16:31:19  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> Great! Thank you. I'm on the configurator step and had a quick question
2026-03-13T16:32:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> 4. You will be prompted to enter the location of the openmw-iniimporter.exe file, and then the openmw-navmeshtool.exe file. These will be in the folder where you installed OpenMW. Please note that you must also include the .exe file extension in the path you give it, for example:C:\OpenMW 0.50.0\openmw-iniimporter.exe 5. This process can take several minutes to fully complete depending on your computer hardware and the size of the
2026-03-13T16:32:26  <OpenMW-bridge> mod list you chose. If this process is taking longer than 30 minutes to complete, consider removing --run-navmeshtool from the command and run it again. The navmeshtool is not a strict requirement, but it will improve your loading times significantly. 6. If at any point you need to start the setup process again (for example, if you have given the Configurator a wrong path to one of the programs), use the following command:.\momw-configurator.exe
2026-03-13T16:32:26  <OpenMW-bridge> setup
2026-03-13T16:33:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> There's no question here
2026-03-13T16:33:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> If I installed OpenMW to my downloads folder, do i just use that as the path?
2026-03-13T16:34:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> You need to path directly to the executable being mentioned
2026-03-13T16:35:39  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> im looking for it but cant find it
2026-03-13T16:37:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <nobel1210> Is everything okay with Johnny? I’m not super active here, but I noticed quite the slowdown in list updates.

2026-03-13T16:51:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopaba> If you right click on that and show more options I think there might be an option to copy the entire path to it?
2026-03-13T16:51:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> "copy as path" right?
2026-03-13T16:51:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <.hemaris> you can probably drag it from the explorer window into the command prompt

2026-03-13T16:56:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> Search your file system. Nobody will know an answer to this
2026-03-13T16:56:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.hemaris> for context: you have to import the text from morrowind.ini because it would technically be a copyright violation for openmw to include a built-in copy of the text inside it

2026-03-13T16:58:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <.hemaris> you should change your windows explorer settings to show all file extensions by default
2026-03-13T16:59:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <abap_> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Morrowind\Morrowind.ini"  ^should it not be in program files

2026-03-13T18:51:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Hey y'all. This is a question that is asked here fairly often, but after looking back at the previous times this question was asked I still don't quite understand. How do I go about having a modded verision of OpenMW and an unmodded (or maybe manually modded) version of OpenMW at the same time? I have looked at the "Portable Install" page of MOMW, but didn't understand what I was meant to do. Specifically the instruction "create a
2026-03-13T18:51:22  <OpenMW-bridge> launcher for OpenMW with a couple of specific arguments as follows..." confused me. I don't know what it means to "create a launcher," or how to add arguments. Hopefully this is the right place to ask!
2026-03-13T19:06:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> basically just right-click openmw.exe and select "Create a shortcut"
2026-03-13T19:07:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> oh
2026-03-13T19:08:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> How do I add the arguments? I'm doing this on my Steam Deck atm
2026-03-13T19:09:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Which I guess also means that there is no openmw.exe
2026-03-13T19:10:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> oh yeah it does, huh
2026-03-13T19:10:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> no idea how to make a shortcut with the steam deck, but you can just open terminal and run the command that way
2026-03-13T19:12:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Do you mean this command, with the file names changed? openmw --replace=config --config ~/games/StarwindCfg --user-data ~/games/StarwindCfg
2026-03-13T19:18:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> yep and with openmw replaced with whatever your openmw executable is called
2026-03-13T19:23:28  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> I'm just getting "command not found" I'm guessing this is because I have the wrong name for the executable, but I tried both "openmw" and "openmw.x86_64" the former being a "shell script" that runs the game when I double click it, and the latter being an "executable" that does nothing when I double click it.
2026-03-13T19:26:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> openmw doesn't register as a system wide command, I think.  it would be   /path/to/install/openmw
2026-03-13T19:26:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> and if you are running it in terminal from that dir - then still ./openmw not openmw
2026-03-13T19:27:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Okay, thanks. I'll run the command from the OpenMW directory with ./openmw instead of openmw
2026-03-13T19:28:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Well. This is what I got:  [14:28:05.795 W] No such dir: /home/deck/.local/share/openmw/data [14:28:05.795 E] No content file given (esm/esp, nor omwgame/omwaddon). Aborting... [14:28:05.871 I] Quitting peacefully. 
2026-03-13T19:31:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Can I just create that folder and try again?
2026-03-13T19:33:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <.hemaris> from a cursory search it sounds like the steamOS terminal supports bash aliases, which are like shortcuts on the command line
2026-03-13T19:35:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> nice yeah so you could run openmw-list1 and openmw-list2 sweet
2026-03-13T19:35:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> would be a fun way to get more comfortable using linux
2026-03-13T19:35:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> I see in the guide that, "In order for the game to launch, you need valid openmw.cfg and settings.cfg files in the folder you specify. You could copy those from the normal location and then edit them as needed." Is this why I'm getting this error, because I didn't copy those files?
2026-03-13T19:39:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> maybe not because that data folder is not the folder I am specifying in the command.
2026-03-13T20:25:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <LazYagrum> the prompt is just saying that /home/deck/.local/share/openmw/data doesn't exist in your system. You might be telling the openmw launcher to look into the wrong place. I could be wrong, but I find it hard to believe you consciously chose to place your Morrowind (or mods?) data folder into .local/share/openmw/. That path is usually reserved for saves and screenshots.
2026-03-13T22:24:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <trustyset> Yeah I didn't consciously put anything there. Ultimately I decided to just uninstall the mod-list I was using because UMO makes it so easy to just reinstall later. Thanks for all the help though!
2026-03-13T23:39:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <polyonymous> I think I might've lost the plot, but wasn't there a guide for tweaking openMW for performance on the momw site?
