2026-04-12T04:34:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <continuum.mid> I'm having trouble getting the Total Overhaul modlist to run at a decent framerate. It's pretty good indoors, but in cities it drops to 20-25 FPS, and it seems to be worst in areas with heavy groundcover, where it can go as low as 10 FPS.  My laptop is a Framework 13, AMD Ryzen 7040 (integrated GPU) with 32GB RAM running Debian Linux. Should that be good enough to run this modlist at a consistent 30 FPS? If so, what should I do
2026-04-12T04:34:12  <OpenMW-bridge> to increase the framerate? (So far I've tried using gamemode, the physics async threads setting, and the environment variable that the MOMW website suggests for AMD GPUs, but they've not noticeably improved framerate.)  If not, which of the modlists would be best for a lightweight gameplay and (to a lesser extent) graphics overhaul? I'm guessing Morrowind Starter Pack
2026-04-12T05:58:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> You want at least 10gb vram. I'd recommend trying expanded vanilla first which has a far lower vram requirement. But Morrowind starter pack is great to build off of as well.

2026-04-12T15:05:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <continuum.mid> Expanded Vanilla definitely runs better, still usually hangs around 25 FPS and occasionally drops lower but it doesn't feel choppy all the time like the total overhaul did.  Another question: in both Expanded Vanilla and the Total Overhaul I decided to play the Mages Guild questline, got up to the Stolen Reports quest, but Ajira's reports aren't where there normally are and I can't seem to find them. Is this a bug or did a mod
2026-04-12T15:05:09  <OpenMW-bridge> change that quest?
2026-04-12T15:35:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> they are randomized in the mages guild
2026-04-12T15:46:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <continuum.mid> oh yep, found one
2026-04-12T18:22:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> I have a question! So, I've been storing data in json, but I just realized that this needs to be edited and mantained by hand, so, should I switch to toml?
2026-04-12T18:22:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> There should still be no issues when querying the data itself with toml, as python supports it
2026-04-12T18:22:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> json is just as well, although it has some annoyances imo
2026-04-12T18:22:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> oh yeah i don't know about python parsing support
2026-04-12T18:22:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> but it's gotta be there
2026-04-12T18:23:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> json is common as dirt
2026-04-12T18:23:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> I'll test out if toml causes any problems If it doesn't, I'll switch to it for the better readability
2026-04-12T18:23:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> actually i know it works because umo uses python
2026-04-12T18:24:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> yeah i think toml is a lot more readable, and it's easier to maintain just by virtue of it being less picky about syntax
2026-04-12T18:24:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> you can't have trailing commas in json for example, but toml doesn't care at all
2026-04-12T18:25:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> it has its own set of annoyances, but there's less of them i think
2026-04-12T18:26:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> Yeah I agree
2026-04-12T18:26:45  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> yaml is another option, but that one is really picky about spaces in an annoying way lol
2026-04-12T19:33:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> Okay so
2026-04-12T19:33:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> It's. Definitely a lot uglier

2026-04-12T19:35:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> It should be easier to edit by hand though
2026-04-12T19:36:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> Unsure
2026-04-12T22:03:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <spaicrab> @.gonzo. Any thoughts? (Is it okay if I ping you? If not, sorry, I won't do it again)
2026-04-12T22:11:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> Imperial Guards with a voiced greeting like "I see you favour a little crime... perhaps I should let the authorities know." begs for a consistency fix (only non-guards should be allowed to say this). Is it a Vanilla line or mod-enabled?
