2026-05-30T00:22:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> Another one I like is NPCs sitting over the edge of a bridge
2026-05-30T00:25:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> Is it easy to get soft shadows going on 0.51RC? They stopped working when I upgraded
2026-05-30T01:12:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <liammellofarley> Are you opposed to using a PBR pack? I posted a test version of my Wareyas fork with them
2026-05-30T01:12:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <liammellofarley> https://discord.com/channels/260439894298460160/1445658776198840491/1510034095034601503
2026-05-30T01:13:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <liammellofarley> That might be harder to do manually, but what I could eventually get around to is setting some like tiny invisible placeholder mesh to install bridge sitting locations if I ever bother to learn the CS
2026-05-30T01:15:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510089335016263920/image0.jpg?ex=6a1b8bc9&is=6a1a3a49&hm=87c28066398f01795e525967ee699a8213036329b260ec01f45e5a604a400f8e&
2026-05-30T01:16:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> I love this moody fellow who sits on the overpass at night in balmora.
2026-05-30T01:33:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <liammellofarley> Actually it honestly me be fully doable to set a specific mesh offset for bridge meshes
2026-05-30T01:51:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <savakaarlsang> Oh yeah that would be completely doable!
2026-05-30T01:55:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I dont suppose anyone might know whats causing this? I have many mods
2026-05-30T01:55:53  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510099394979168446/screenshot002.png?ex=6a1b9528&is=6a1a43a8&hm=978b6eca1f498534c85c6ca8cef075e8c605ea6210ee4300f6b810571d4f4ad4&
2026-05-30T02:02:53  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> something like Shabby Balmora and BCoM clashing?
2026-05-30T02:09:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> its weird cus I only have BCoM installed
2026-05-30T02:10:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> im digging through one by one trying to isolate the mod thats causing it cus I did manage to make it stop by disabling all
2026-05-30T02:12:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> oh wait. aha I think youre right shabby balmora snuck onto my mod list
2026-05-30T02:12:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> lmao
2026-05-30T02:12:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> nailed it
2026-05-30T02:12:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> that is scary
2026-05-30T02:12:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> that you literally knew that
2026-05-30T02:13:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> i spend a little too much time curating my modlist haha
2026-05-30T02:14:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> thats crazy bro
2026-05-30T02:14:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> mind if I ask you one more thing?
2026-05-30T02:14:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> shoot
2026-05-30T02:15:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> ive basically got my modlist dialed in apart from a couple things, but one Ive noticed is one specific female hairstyle shows up as bright pink (which I assume is no texture found)
2026-05-30T02:15:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> i have NO idea how to remedy that
2026-05-30T02:16:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> you were right shabby balmora being disabled fixed it bless up
2026-05-30T02:16:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> when you spot it, click on the npc with the console open and type ori, this should give you the paths to the missing textures
2026-05-30T02:16:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> and what mod is handling it
2026-05-30T02:17:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> doesn always work but if its jsut a texture it shoul do
2026-05-30T02:17:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> Groundcoverify: Does it solve the issues of floating grass? OR does it "just" optimize the existing grass for rendering?
2026-05-30T02:17:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> it doesnt even do that
2026-05-30T02:17:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> Hrm.
2026-05-30T02:18:19  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> it optimises by changing certain statics into groundcover
2026-05-30T02:18:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> so it doesn't actually affect your groundcover, just makes more to save on rendering
2026-05-30T02:19:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> lawnmower is for floating grass iirc
2026-05-30T02:19:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> Got everything nailed down. Loving my setup. Just can't find a groundcover mod that really grabs my attention and doesn't stick a lot of grass up.
2026-05-30T02:20:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> Love FGM.
2026-05-30T02:22:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yeah try the lawnmower https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/53034  very handy piece of kit for sorting out a fair chunk of floaters
2026-05-30T02:22:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> dubious, if I post what ori says can you help me decipher it?
2026-05-30T02:23:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yeah go for it, well see

2026-05-30T02:24:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> ok so probably what your looking for is war_highelf_m_hair_02.dds
2026-05-30T02:24:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> not sure what thats from but it doesnt sound like a vanilla name
2026-05-30T02:25:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> oh it is lmao
2026-05-30T02:25:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> do you know of any way I can fix this?
2026-05-30T02:25:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> should I just install another mod with lots of hairstyles?
2026-05-30T02:26:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> diffuseMap: textures/tx_b_n_dark elf_f_h03.dds  This one is also misisng
2026-05-30T02:29:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> thats one way, might work. it depends on if the hair was replaced or changed by a mod. you could also copy and rename a different hair texture to match that name if that doesn't work. best option is to find where the issue is coming from but that would probably require some tes3cmd magic
2026-05-30T02:30:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> or some such command line thing
2026-05-30T02:30:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> yeah I am a mere novice
2026-05-30T02:30:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> i cant just look at a screenshot and know someone elses modlist 😛
2026-05-30T02:30:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> but yes the replacement idea is a good one I will try and do that
2026-05-30T02:32:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> that should sort it if nothing else, might look a bit funny/mismatched but not as bad as neon pink
2026-05-30T02:32:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> 100% its morrowind people look chopped already
2026-05-30T03:02:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> I tried dropping in shadows_fragment.glsl and I'm getting a trapezoid below the player where the shadows fade to full resolution (I assume) but that's probably because it's not intended to be used by itself right
2026-05-30T03:06:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> That's the regular shadows_fragment.glsl at 512 with the filter at 5 and it's not too janky except the hard fade, which I assume is the same thing as above but it's quite a bit farther out
2026-05-30T03:06:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510117146238259240/screenshot001.png?ex=6a1ba5b0&is=6a1a5430&hm=93880a5ca5188a16eee189e00570ec1291e6310db2cbc0686769fe9118288a1c&
2026-05-30T03:53:03  <OpenMW-bridge> <liammellofarley> Yeah I have no clue how that would handle the 0.51 shaders by themselves it worked fine on 0.51 with everything but it's just an adjustment I made for my 0.51 PBR
2026-05-30T07:08:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Well, I"m enjoying my destruction mage so far and learning a lot. I've been using brackets to tag what type of spell it is. I've simplified the names. I know that ember is touch, single target. Ignite is target single target, and wildfire is target area. The number of pluses denotes the strength, and these target specific enemy types. I know that ++ is enough to take down any basic wolf in solstheim. + is good enough to
2026-05-30T07:08:24  <OpenMW-bridge> take on most 'tougher, but still weak' vanilla creatures like alits, bull netch, and cliff racers'
2026-05-30T07:08:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510178044751380510/Screenshot_from_2026-05-30_14-03-10.png?ex=6a1bde67&is=6a1a8ce7&hm=ac26fc77abde44f72fe74f29bc85885fdc13a825c0595616251b8e95dccf0646&
2026-05-30T07:08:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> I used to have custom names for all of my spells, but it got difficult to keep track and find them on a list.
2026-05-30T07:09:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Like so
2026-05-30T07:09:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510178377321938963/Screenshot_from_2026-05-30_14-09-26.png?ex=6a1bdeb6&is=6a1a8d36&hm=c9a57b40d1ba6f330ac404a5652c99f80a7ff14af8ea3ffe83dba2630a7dc1fc&
2026-05-30T07:10:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Like so
2026-05-30T07:10:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510178616271568970/Screenshot_from_2026-05-30_14-10-27.png?ex=6a1bdeef&is=6a1a8d6f&hm=0f71d8f7e4f3ed5b4764cf1a4f5368bf9b6e92a5b97beb001ab2fa4776c4aec8&
2026-05-30T07:20:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> And, destruction damage spells are really quite expensive but I think non-casters could find use by using them for crowd control. Increasing area of effect is relatively affordable.
2026-05-30T07:48:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <tae._bd> Not doing Strikes of Vvardenfell….not even close to my skill set and honestly I don’t have the willpower to do two dumb mod ideas
2026-05-30T08:19:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> I need to farm some golden saints. No for their souls, but for the small chance of equipment drops

2026-05-30T09:55:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> My favourite

2026-05-30T09:55:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Drain health is cheap so it's best done as a finisher
2026-05-30T09:56:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> But most enemies are below 100 so it's a bit like powerword kill
2026-05-30T09:56:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> These are inefficient in terms of magicka usage, a better method is to apply a longer lasting weakness then get them with a DoT
2026-05-30T09:57:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Weakness applies for the whole dot and spell range is calculated many times a second so it will always be very close to the centre of the average
2026-05-30T09:57:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> I'm 99% sure that you'll get better magicka efficiency if you set soul trap first
2026-05-30T09:57:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Yes
2026-05-30T09:57:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> These are inefficient
2026-05-30T09:57:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> 100 drain by itself is great but this is an instant soul trap spell
2026-05-30T09:57:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Like
2026-05-30T09:58:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> You walk up to any enemy, hit them and they're dead and their soul is in a gem
2026-05-30T09:58:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Feels great
2026-05-30T09:59:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Drain health is also (relatively) safe reflected since it's undone as soon as it runs out
2026-05-30T09:59:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> I don't feel like you understood me. The 100pts drain health spell will be cheaper if you do soul trap + drain health rather than drain health + soul trap
2026-05-30T09:59:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Probably
2026-05-30T09:59:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> let me check
2026-05-30T10:00:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> I had a conversation with another person months ago about spell order on custom spells, and I think that was the conclusion we reached, cheaper first like with enchanting
2026-05-30T10:00:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> I think I figured the same but by the time I was using this regularly I had over 100 magicka
2026-05-30T10:01:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> So some inefficiency wasn't worth the effort of remaking the spell
2026-05-30T10:02:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Sure. Spell making is cheap in gold, but expensive with time.
2026-05-30T10:03:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> At least, putting soul trap first is going to be a slight improvement with little brain power/time investment
2026-05-30T10:03:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <chancellor3572> Yep
2026-05-30T10:18:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> so I just finished morrowind for the first time... oh man
2026-05-30T10:38:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> That's a long playthrough.
2026-05-30T11:12:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> I know I started late, the game is by no means pretty (although it can be) but at the same time I've hardly seen any game lately with this writing
2026-05-30T11:12:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> peak
2026-05-30T11:15:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <slowchu> a lot of early RPG had some pretty peak writing
2026-05-30T11:15:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <slowchu> :chefskiss:
2026-05-30T11:15:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <slowchu> sorely lacking now a days
2026-05-30T11:15:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <slowchu> :sadcat:
2026-05-30T11:15:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> The magic system is what has kept me around and keeps sparking my interest
2026-05-30T11:16:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Played skyrim recently, and while there are more varied ways the player can channel magic, there is so much more that can be done in morrowind
2026-05-30T11:19:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> reading the dreams you start having at some point gave me some serious chills, the last time I felt that was with a lovecraft short story
2026-05-30T11:20:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> level up messages are satisfying too
2026-05-30T11:20:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> And then you fight Dagoth Ur and realise you were never in any real danger
2026-05-30T11:22:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> this was so much fun! I made one called "yeet" with fortify speed and drain health on touch, I liked to imagine enemies were disintegrating from the speed :doitswit:
2026-05-30T11:23:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> this felt bittersweet, I tought I could have some dialog to persuade him or something, I thought I could change him :sadcat:
2026-05-30T11:23:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> The final boss fight is so bad that it almost ruins the entire plot of the game for me
2026-05-30T11:23:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> something like "bro chill, yes I hate vivec too, lets put his ass in the sack but, let me not have growing tentacles please?"
2026-05-30T11:24:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> Hmm but I haven't tried casting spells like that on enemies, could be interesting with broken intelligence
2026-05-30T11:24:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> If you cast 1 billion fortify speed on enemies, what happens?
2026-05-30T11:24:39  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> I guess your spells can only get so powerful though
2026-05-30T11:25:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Modify UI elements to adjust sliders, increase magicka pool and fortify skill/will and problem solved and you can test it
2026-05-30T11:25:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> But that's cheating 🙁
2026-05-30T11:26:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Is it really cheating if you just buff a handful of mudcrabs over the course of an afternoon?
2026-05-30T11:26:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> is legal in Vardenfell is there are no witnesses :scarytodd:
2026-05-30T11:27:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> Hmm
2026-05-30T11:27:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> I suppose it is a good experiment nonetheless
2026-05-30T11:27:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> I also made alohomora that was just 100 for lockpick
2026-05-30T11:28:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Yeah, there are simpler ways to obliterate/make invalids of threats
2026-05-30T11:28:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> Have infinite luck
2026-05-30T11:30:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> I thought of making something that used fortify acrobatics to see if npcs would fly to their death but they don't jump
2026-05-30T11:30:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> Hmm
2026-05-30T11:31:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> Yeah, you'd have to make them levitate and chase
2026-05-30T11:31:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> They can drown, however
2026-05-30T11:32:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> And acrobatics mitigates fall damage, so jump would be better overall
2026-05-30T11:32:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> and lorewise, I just kept watching Azura like this at the end:
2026-05-30T11:32:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510244440814649354/image.png?ex=6a1c1c3d&is=6a1acabd&hm=41f02062a2b5fee7a4631d42359d79aebd17a290ebad1fb8af0bc68bc9be2b8b&
2026-05-30T11:32:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> We must research the best way to torture Morrowind NPCs
2026-05-30T11:34:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> I did at least figure out how to dress them up tho
2026-05-30T11:35:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> can you do that?? I tried dressing followers but it wouldnt work, meanwile merchants would equip any crap I sold them
2026-05-30T11:35:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> Did someone mention the mistress of twilight?
2026-05-30T11:36:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> With my mod, yes. It removes all their clothes and adds a new set.
2026-05-30T11:36:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> It's a quirky behaviour, but I guess they always just wear the best item they have in their inventory.
2026-05-30T11:38:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> I guess I could work on that a bit more, or maybe there's a mod already that just allows you to access their whole inventory.
2026-05-30T11:43:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> yea, I threw the ring she gave me at the end to the lava pool alongside Akulakhan and Dagoth Ur, seemed right
2026-05-30T11:44:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> You're an ALMSIVI kinda G, aren't you?
2026-05-30T11:46:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> They're ok and all, but the mistress of twilight shapes all our fate. Even that of a Fuzzy-Mer.
2026-05-30T11:47:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> The most degenerate thing anyone has done to it
2026-05-30T11:47:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> Outside of mods of course
2026-05-30T11:47:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> If Azura ate my dinner right in front of me and Vivec said that she did it, I'd throw hands with V for stealing my food
2026-05-30T11:48:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> My mind has been warped from watching too many gamer girl azura videos.
2026-05-30T11:50:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> And Az would be happy, because it's what she wanted all along for the time that Vivec said that she looked pretty instead of beautiful
2026-05-30T11:51:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> exactly!!! lol
2026-05-30T11:52:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> thats why I felt like giving her a "btch really?" expression while she gave me the whole chosen one speech at the end
2026-05-30T11:52:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <Nevare (Enchanter)> I mean, she is a divine being. Yes, she chose you.
2026-05-30T11:54:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> I kept thinking about that kid that "disappeared" because she said Azura chose her
2026-05-30T11:54:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> was it a girl? I dont remember
2026-05-30T11:55:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> "if Azura really chose her, damn woman, thats just a child, but I guess you being you can plot something that complicated"
2026-05-30T11:56:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <emma_repa> "if not, that lie had some serious consequences, kids say all kinds of crap after all"
2026-05-30T12:04:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> Done, I started to take off the pants of everyone in town
2026-05-30T12:38:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> I'm turning Balmora into the SEX ZONE
2026-05-30T12:45:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <ms.arch> Sexmora
2026-05-30T12:47:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/58957
2026-05-30T12:47:19  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> Anyone tried this one?
2026-05-30T12:47:51  <OpenMW-bridge> <skulitheg> What’s the benefit over NCG?
2026-05-30T13:07:28  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> I just spent like 2 weeks creating and testing out my modlist
2026-05-30T13:08:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> and now, on my first day off with nothing to do  I can't get myself to start a playthrough 😂
2026-05-30T13:28:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> whats your modlist?
2026-05-30T13:29:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> a fairly heavy one lol. 625 mods, with Morrowind Starter Pack as a base
2026-05-30T13:29:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <detaildevil> There are so many new cool mods that have come out for OpenMW. First person animations, quest mods, more than I can list
2026-05-30T13:29:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I would love to see anyones lists
2026-05-30T13:29:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> This month alone has been crazy, you can refresh nexus daily and find a new gem
2026-05-30T13:30:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I managed to get up to about 320 on my own, but then again my goal is Vanilla vvardenfel
2026-05-30T13:30:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> i use then term vanilla loosely
2026-05-30T13:30:45  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I just want like the base game to be fully fleshed out with every last detail but not new quests and characters and stuff
2026-05-30T13:31:03  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> I'm currently working on a vanilla/semi-purist modlist
2026-05-30T13:31:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://tenor.com/view/may-i-see-it-chalmers-gif-18367950853266778478
2026-05-30T13:32:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> No graphics enhancements, just fixes, UI and QoL, new animations, some gameplay changes/additions, and the bare minimum of city enhancements and quest enhancements
2026-05-30T13:33:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> ah yeah mine is on the other end of the spectrum
2026-05-30T13:34:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> For graphics enhancements I stuck purely to high res versions of the OG textures
2026-05-30T13:35:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> It's VERY early in the making, and i dont even know if I will actually go a purist direction or not

2026-05-30T13:41:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> discord acts weird for me :/
2026-05-30T13:57:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <heilkitty811> No release announcement yet?
2026-05-30T14:03:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <nightjo1166> saw a mod with atmora map.. i cri everi tim
2026-05-30T14:10:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <nightjo1166> would love to visit atmora in morrowind before i die
2026-05-30T14:14:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Does anyone here use MUSE or s3maphore for Open MW? The music replacer
2026-05-30T14:17:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <sosnoviybor> MUSE is for MWSE only
2026-05-30T14:18:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <blurpandra> Here's my raw config since you asked. it has some WIP stuff in there
2026-05-30T14:18:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <blurpandra> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510286384961814638/openmw.cfg?ex=6a1c434d&is=6a1af1cd&hm=3fa86af7b00b7b5bdc9a052e0838d13fa0cbbc977e5c828f25cddee29cb69e59&
2026-05-30T14:20:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <blurpandra> I wish all the mods included included links to where I got them
2026-05-30T14:28:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Yeah I'm trying to install s3maphore for Openmw but the instructions are a little unclear to me was hoping someone could assist
2026-05-30T14:33:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> well more specifically I am trying to use the mod Soule Sounds For Morrowind with s3maphore
2026-05-30T14:33:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Im just trying to figure out where these new sound files should be installed? I doubt I just drop it into Data Files
2026-05-30T14:44:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <gina188367> is there anyone looking for a dev?
2026-05-30T14:50:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> @Server Staff
2026-05-30T14:50:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> (the looking for a dev bot again)
2026-05-30T14:58:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <blurpandra> With the power of scraping my download history, I now have an annotated openmw.cfg file with links to where I got all my stuff :datchim:
2026-05-30T14:58:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <blurpandra> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510296441451450550/openmw.cfg?ex=6a1c4cab&is=6a1afb2b&hm=43d65cddc8b7c062a22e68f9018ba1516df3eebbd30441bb335b460cbb4c0629&
2026-05-30T15:31:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> They just need to be in the vfs somewhere and if there's a s3maphore playlist for the mod it'll Just Work
2026-05-30T15:32:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> hey gonzo thanks for the reply, right now I have installed s3maphore and I DLed the Soule music pack. What I am trying to do is set up the config file with the correct file paths, does that sound correct?
2026-05-30T15:33:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> You just add soule sounds as a mod normally, and if s3maphore has a built-in playlist for it it'll work
2026-05-30T15:33:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> I'm not sure if that mod is supported natively by s3maphore, but it might be
2026-05-30T15:34:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> This is an example
2026-05-30T15:34:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510305311725195304/image.png?ex=6a1c54ee&is=6a1b036e&hm=20c43969df71609137fdd1e6ecc06e49aca7c60f05006fd64ddb9be6ccaa8c85&
2026-05-30T15:34:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> Not too sure about using vortex. I heard it's a nightmare for many reasons
2026-05-30T15:35:53  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> thats just where the files are located, unless theres a better place to store the files for openMW?
2026-05-30T15:41:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> i think I may be getting somewhere my only problem is the config file automatically reverts and does not stay saved
2026-05-30T15:46:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> well first of all which config file? where is it?
2026-05-30T16:01:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> A classic mistake is to try and edit the config.cfg that's in the OpenMW folder, instead of the one that's in the My Documents folder. Is that the case here?
2026-05-30T16:02:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> @.gonzo. @billie4440  Its the config file in My Documents/My Games/OpenMW
2026-05-30T16:03:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> strangely now the s3maphore esp does not appear in openMW at all
2026-05-30T16:03:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> awesome. so yeah just make sure the launcher and game is closed when you edit the file
2026-05-30T16:03:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> it most certainly didn't save because of that
2026-05-30T16:06:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> yeah I am out of luck here because the ESP file doesnt appear in the OpenMW Content Files anymore and I dont know how to get it to. Ive tried editing the config to include picrel but it still doesnt appear
2026-05-30T16:06:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510313433453690890/image.png?ex=6a1c5c7e&is=6a1b0afe&hm=d62c44f2a02c8f4c2d40df1cbaf216fdd4fbc06efd0f5cec3f98c2a794c29401&
2026-05-30T16:06:53  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> you also need the base s3maphore folder
2026-05-30T16:07:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> as in both the base folder and the 17 Soule Sounds folder or just the base folder
2026-05-30T16:07:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> both
2026-05-30T16:07:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> also whichever other s3maphore playlists you want loaded
2026-05-30T16:09:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> just that soule sounds one. I am sorry to keep asking but is there a way to force the .esp to appear in the openMW launcher?
2026-05-30T16:09:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> because it straight up is not there
2026-05-30T16:09:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Edit the launcher cfg file, maybe?
2026-05-30T16:10:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> make sure you're loading 00 Core
2026-05-30T16:10:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> not just the s3maphore zip folder
2026-05-30T16:10:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> tried that, in the screenshot I sent I added content=S3maphore.esp which is the exact esp name
2026-05-30T16:14:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> weird I dont have a 00 core folder with the download of s3maphore
2026-05-30T16:16:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <LazYagrum> you did not download this then
2026-05-30T16:16:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <LazYagrum> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510315878493847679/Screenshot_From_2026-05-30_18-15-50.png?ex=6a1c5ec5&is=6a1b0d45&hm=b05ed8c58cfc8bf151ffe924334666a8693e0dc11dd367bc4acc19c52391b4d2&
2026-05-30T16:16:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <LazYagrum> https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/56836?tab=files
2026-05-30T16:20:45  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> bizarre, let me see
2026-05-30T16:20:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> I just realised the folder path you input here does not include the .esp You only point to the folder of music track, but you don't point to the folder that contains s3maphor.esp
2026-05-30T16:21:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Unless I misunderstand the folder content?
2026-05-30T16:21:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> ive deleted it all and I will try from scratch thanks for sticking with me
2026-05-30T16:21:45  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> yes I dont quite understand what im supposed to do honestly
2026-05-30T16:21:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> ill try and reinstall the mod, I have the actual mp3s I need but changing the config I have no idea
2026-05-30T16:22:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I presume Im supposed to point the config to the actual database of mp3s
2026-05-30T16:22:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Are you okay with using the launcher, or do you prefer to edit .cfg file?
2026-05-30T16:22:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> well the esp isnt even appearing in the launcher
2026-05-30T16:23:28  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> and for some god forsaken reason when I am DLing the mod linked I am not getting the core folder
2026-05-30T16:23:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> What's the name of the folder in which your .esp is?
2026-05-30T16:24:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510318008176738567/image.png?ex=6a1c60c1&is=6a1b0f41&hm=59832c5ff982cee5e9d398d6ad3a27c0d5643dcb223892d2c8b320ebf23d3852&
2026-05-30T16:24:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Now that is also weird. You don't get the same files as in "preview"?
2026-05-30T16:24:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> so I presume 00 core in that other picture is the folder name?
2026-05-30T16:25:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I am using vortex to DL it, perhaps thats the issue
2026-05-30T16:25:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> I don't know. I see no .esp in that picture
2026-05-30T16:25:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Oh, sorry, I have no idea how to use vortex
2026-05-30T16:25:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510318350918615250/image.png?ex=6a1c6113&is=6a1b0f93&hm=bc5a946a337aa32f72dc5903c93dabc72960847c1a6b5f95ac1c5338835b746d&
2026-05-30T16:27:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> So in your config.cfg you want to add the "data=" that points to this folder
2026-05-30T16:27:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay so downloading it via vortex messes it up.
2026-05-30T16:27:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I did a manual .rar download and the file structure is correct in that rar
2026-05-30T16:28:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> (but I dont know how to install this rar)
2026-05-30T16:28:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> I have no idea how to use vortex, but the manual way (editing .cfg file or using the launcher) is simple enough
2026-05-30T16:29:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> thats what Id like to do seeing as what ive been trying is not working
2026-05-30T16:30:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> I don't know that mod specifically though, so I don't know if it has special install instructions. In any case, this : https://discord.com/channels/260439894298460160/260439894298460160/1510318799201501474 should hold true no matter what else is required, otherwise the .esp won't be loaded
2026-05-30T16:31:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay I unzipped the normal rar file into my mods folder and it now has the 00 Core folder
2026-05-30T16:32:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> in the config I just open a text document and enter content=S3maphore.esp? What did you guys mean by linking the core folder, or is that correct if the S3maphore.esp is located in that core folder
2026-05-30T16:33:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> secondly, what data= should I be using? Just one line pointing at the Soule music? Or two lines?
2026-05-30T16:33:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yeah the folder structure is messed up, so everything in that image that doesn't have a number on it is your "00 Core" i think having that unpacked into the folder is probably whats causing confusion, i would recommend putting those loose files and folders into a new folder. you can call it 00 core for consistency but thats up to your organisation.  this is common structure for openmw, so you unpack the zip into a folder and the
2026-05-30T16:33:15  <OpenMW-bridge> add that to you data= section, and then add the contents to content=
2026-05-30T16:33:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> What do you mean by "in the config"?
2026-05-30T16:33:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> This is now what I have
2026-05-30T16:33:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510320325257335026/image.png?ex=6a1c62e9&is=6a1b1169&hm=e7b42bbe2851e1df78ff275e7ed1c197abba43d4555f1627c0dce65a3eccce47&
2026-05-30T16:34:10  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> in the config as in, the documents/mygames/openmw config file that controls the mods esps
2026-05-30T16:34:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> because the esp is not appearing in my openmw launcher and I dont know how to make it appear so I can enable it
2026-05-30T16:35:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> sorry if I am being annoying
2026-05-30T16:35:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Installing stuff in OpenMW really just means "telling OpenMW to go into "stuff A" or "stuff B" folder and load whatever files are in there. I.e. : telling him the folder path leading to the mod you want to "install"
2026-05-30T16:36:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> so in your openmw.cfg thaere should be lines like this > data="C:/Users/dubio/Documents/My Games/OpenMW mods/S3maphore Core/00 Core
2026-05-30T16:36:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> You're not, we'll sort this out eventually lol
2026-05-30T16:37:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay so I am still stuck here because even adding content=S3maphore.esp to the config files does not make it appear on my esp list on OpenMW
2026-05-30T16:39:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> If you also added "data=[insert path towards the folder that contains S3maphore.esp]" then it should appear. You need both "data" to point to the folder, and "content" to list the esps
2026-05-30T16:40:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> ok for the records my config has zero other data= paths
2026-05-30T16:40:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> so you are saying if I include a data= path then it will allow OpenMW to show the esp?
2026-05-30T16:41:35  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yes the data section is for alll the paths to folders that openmw will use
2026-05-30T16:41:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> content is for the content of those folders
2026-05-30T16:41:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> esentially
2026-05-30T16:42:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> so you need both
2026-05-30T16:42:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Ok nevermind then, let's to it with the launcher directly.  Close any .cfg file that's still open.  Launche the launcher. Go to the second tab, and click "apend"
2026-05-30T16:42:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> You want to add the folder that contains the .esp
2026-05-30T16:43:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Then in the first tab, the esp should appear (immediately, it should be in bold characters)
2026-05-30T16:43:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> sweet jesus
2026-05-30T16:43:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay adding the data= allowed it to appear in openMW
2026-05-30T16:43:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay, okay were not out of the woods yet
2026-05-30T16:44:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I presumably need to add the soule music folder right?
2026-05-30T16:44:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> now you need one data entry for each folder that you want to use
2026-05-30T16:44:28  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yes
2026-05-30T16:44:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay idk if you guys use music mods but the mod comes with about 20 folders that are all empty (i presume to stage for separate mods you DL)
2026-05-30T16:44:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> i have all installed
2026-05-30T16:45:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> understood, I actually only want the soule music mod
2026-05-30T16:45:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> rather than the entire lot
2026-05-30T16:45:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yes coorect
2026-05-30T16:45:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yeah just add that folder to data below semaphore core and your set
2026-05-30T16:46:39  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Which is why I think it's easier to "install" using the launcher than by manually editing the .cfg file. The second tab of the launcher is just editing the .cfg file for you, you just have to "append" then click to point the right folders
2026-05-30T16:47:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I understand but now that I have made even some progress this is the path we (I) have chosen
2026-05-30T16:47:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay I have transferred all of the proper mp3s for the soule music folder into the correct file path
2026-05-30T16:48:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> the launcher is a great mod organiser, i personally find the cfg easier to keep track, you can do search/replace and stuff
2026-05-30T16:48:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> so you are saying all thats left to do is create another data= line that points to that folder?
2026-05-30T16:48:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> for example:  data="C:\Users-\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\morrowind\mods\S3maphore Core-56836-0-62-1759457897\17 Soule Sounds"
2026-05-30T16:48:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> yep exactly, you will need to put the music in too
2026-05-30T16:48:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> (ignore the vortex thing vortex is not handling this its simply where my mods are stored)
2026-05-30T16:48:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> yup already done
2026-05-30T16:49:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> then it should be goldy
2026-05-30T16:49:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay does S3maphore have a UI or anything else I need to do before launching? Should it work automatically or is there a setting in-game in which I can control it?
2026-05-30T16:50:10  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> should just work, there's some ingame settings
2026-05-30T16:50:19  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> and another question, does it matter where the S3maphore mod goes in the load order?
2026-05-30T16:50:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> i dont think so
2026-05-30T16:50:45  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> The only things missing from the launcher is a conflict/overriding detection/visualisation, and the ability to search the "data" tab like you can search the "content" tab (ability to colour/mark/icon/whatever the data tab so as to create "categories" just to not be lost in long mod lists would be a bonus)
2026-05-30T16:51:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay so billie probably has a point here because when I close the OpenMW launcher it automatically deletes the fking entries I just made
2026-05-30T16:51:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510324811551735889/image.png?ex=6a1c6717&is=6a1b1597&hm=717eee4762674abc08e4a62990ce03dfcb64ca08b5e6eeebb3bfcfdb48f07ba0&
2026-05-30T16:51:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> oh you had both open?
2026-05-30T16:51:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> no I made sure to close openMW when changig the config
2026-05-30T16:52:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> You can use the launcher directly and it shouldn't reset.
2026-05-30T16:52:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> but somehow without addingt this to openmw it has appeared there
2026-05-30T16:52:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay but the launcher and the config file both now do NOT point to the soule music folder
2026-05-30T16:53:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> the config file automatically deletes the soule data= but I dont know how to add that to OpenMW
2026-05-30T16:53:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <victorg_51721> Hey everyone! I need your help :).  I'm a Barcelona Master's student researching why modding matters in gaming. If you're a modder or content creator, your experience is gold for my research — I just want to ask you some questions about how communities keep games alive.  It wont take much! it can be written or a voice call :)) Hit me up with a DM if interested! No pressure.  Thanks! ^^
2026-05-30T16:54:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> I had that issue not so long ago, I have no idea what was causing it
2026-05-30T16:54:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Just go to 2nd tab "data directories", then "append" then point to the same folders, this will write the exact same thing in the .cfg file that you had done previously
2026-05-30T16:54:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260439894298460160/1510325612873646240/image.png?ex=6a1c67d6&is=6a1b1656&hm=00cf7e697aa7ac4f43f62fa917f68d0461f15e7d8220653d299778256268749a&
2026-05-30T16:55:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> okay I think we may be looking good, I will try and launch it
2026-05-30T16:55:35  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> https://tenor.com/view/mother-of-god-gif-10218431
2026-05-30T16:55:39  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> it works
2026-05-30T16:56:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Remember to go to the first tab and make sure the .esp is ticked ON
2026-05-30T16:56:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> plus now you understand how to install basically any openmw mod
2026-05-30T16:56:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> i did 😛
2026-05-30T16:56:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Alright seriously thank you for your unpaid labor
2026-05-30T16:57:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I can pay you only in sincere gratitude which unfortunately has a calorie count of 0
2026-05-30T16:57:19  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Sorry I'm on a train so reception Is shit, I got delays often
2026-05-30T16:57:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> its one up from the least i can do
2026-05-30T16:59:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> amazing thank you
2026-05-30T16:59:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> this will make the game so much more playable over long periods
2026-05-30T17:00:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <LazYagrum> Now you are forced to help the next guy coming here asking for help. Nothing is free. We were forced too. None of us is doing this out of their own free will.
2026-05-30T17:00:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <LazYagrum> (jk obv)
2026-05-30T17:00:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> straight up yeah I will pay it forward if possible
2026-05-30T17:13:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> I wish searching for an addon/esp/script brought me to its actual location in the list instead of just singling it out 🥲
2026-05-30T17:14:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> VFStool be doin that
2026-05-30T17:14:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> That being said, if anyone has any clue as to why starting the launcher would erase the changes manually added to config.cfg (despite closing one before launching the other), I'm curious to know. Because I had the exact same thing happen to me something like a month ago.
2026-05-30T17:14:35  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Yeah would be nice, too
2026-05-30T17:14:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> Typically it does that because the added entries are invalid
2026-05-30T17:14:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> That's the intent
2026-05-30T17:15:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> vfstool find-file plugin.esp
2026-05-30T17:18:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> I retried so many times and used copy/paste as much as possible so as to limit typos, that I was sure I had typed it all correctly. But I could have made a mistake, I guess. Oh well
2026-05-30T17:19:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> That made me switch to installing via the launcher instead, which is good (would still be better with a search data feature)
2026-05-30T17:37:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Actually, I'm pretty sure I did it correctly, because I ended up editing launcher.cfg instead of config.cfg, and it worked.  (I switched to using the launcher directly after that)
2026-05-30T18:13:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> Is there any mod that allows you to show pants/leggings/anything at all under robes that are shorter than vanilla? Example, Voidwalker from Beyond the Firmament is a problematic robe.
2026-05-30T18:20:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> I guess it would mostly depend upon whether the robe assets actually, like
2026-05-30T18:20:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> occlude the legs/groin or not
2026-05-30T18:20:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> I believe they typically do and just have a flat plane on the bottom around where the feet are
2026-05-30T18:21:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> It's not really a thing
2026-05-30T18:21:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> You could fix the assets but then the slot still won't actually do the legs/groin, I think
2026-05-30T18:22:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> Maybe you could do it with some slot fuckery after patching the robes
2026-05-30T18:37:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <zenkikjuice> have you guys seen this mod?

2026-05-30T18:40:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <Matt> I was wondering if anyone has examples of putting their game up on a big tv screen - what kind of text and ui scaling you’re working with
2026-05-30T18:41:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> legged robes would probably make you sad in the end

2026-05-30T19:22:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <koncertejo> Yeah I do that, I have a gaming handheld that I plug in from time to time
2026-05-30T19:23:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <koncertejo> It has the Xbox UI mod

2026-05-30T20:40:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> does anyone know how to use console to build the Great House strongholds?
2026-05-30T20:41:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> I've tried using console to set the journal stages forward but it doesnt work
2026-05-30T20:45:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> did you leave and come back
2026-05-30T20:48:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> I mean I updated the journal in a completely different cell then loaded in the stronghold area so Im not sure thats the issue....
2026-05-30T20:48:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> that's all i got
2026-05-30T20:48:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> I’m telling uncle Crassius
2026-05-30T20:48:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> big stretch here but does anyone know of a custom journal-writing mod for openmw?
2026-05-30T20:49:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I want to write my own in-game journal rather than have the standard one, is that possible?
2026-05-30T20:49:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Ive looked around and it seems the only solution that exists is for MWSE (not compatible)
2026-05-30T20:49:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> You didn't look very hard
2026-05-30T20:49:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> "Occluding groin to patch slot fuckery"
2026-05-30T20:49:53  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> what number did you set it to
2026-05-30T20:49:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> I guess cool, I’m not really taken out of it by the map ending though
2026-05-30T20:50:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> i did it step by step
2026-05-30T20:50:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> nooooooooo we are attempting to undo groin occlusion
2026-05-30T20:50:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> maybe try waiting a long time
2026-05-30T20:50:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> which is
2026-05-30T20:50:19  <OpenMW-bridge> <morrowindnostalgia.> so like literally "receive quest" then console next stage of quest, then next stage etc
2026-05-30T20:50:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> Not a concept I am willing to verbally expand upon
2026-05-30T20:51:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> I did look but all I could find was MSWE journal, anything for openMW led me to quest mods
2026-05-30T20:51:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> like quest entry mods

2026-05-30T20:54:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> I feel like a rival type of character would be cool for a mod, has that ever been done before? Like that bounty hunter in KOTOR or the rival in pokemon, just a guy you fight every now and then.
2026-05-30T20:54:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> I better get a tip for that one
2026-05-30T20:54:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> /s
2026-05-30T20:54:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <S3c:tor> "OpenMW devs undo groin occlusion, Skryim support incoming"
2026-05-30T20:55:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> Just flesh out Gaenor
2026-05-30T20:57:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> This one also introduces a rival, though he's mostly just some sassy Malfoy type who shows up to steal your thunder https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/53636
2026-05-30T21:00:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> good idea for a mages guild add-on, or a house hlaalu add-on actually
2026-05-30T21:00:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> I guess that's it right there for the mages guild
2026-05-30T21:16:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <arzak0116> does total overhaul have any mods that make tribunal better/worth playing? I've never played it because of its reputation
2026-05-30T21:17:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Does a mod exist that make Tribunal worth playing? :ur:
2026-05-30T21:23:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> TR when it gets there? 👀
2026-05-30T21:24:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> Didn't think they would touch the quest aside from needed adjustments for the new Almalexia city
2026-05-30T21:27:39  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> Who knows? Modders can't resist messing with stuff.
2026-05-30T21:29:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <billie4440> True, even if TR doesn't touch it, doesn't mean some modder won't huhu
2026-05-30T21:35:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> Tribunal is only good for people with OCD mercantilism power fantasies like me
2026-05-30T21:36:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> I wanna use necromancy on Sotha Sil. Can it be done? Or was that a faked death in the first place?
2026-05-30T21:37:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <Gluteus Maximus> honestly I think the TR community will do justice to Tribunal one day.
2026-05-30T22:24:10  <OpenMW-bridge> <drypuddle> Even if it was just making the setting a bit more interesting that would certainly go some way to helping. Like redesigning the sewers to be somewhat interesting would be a big improvement. Ideally do something about the enemy variety and balance as well but I suppose that's not really TR's remit.
2026-05-30T22:25:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <faux soleil> it's good for those who want a pet rat
2026-05-30T22:25:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <faux soleil> otherwise it's just goblin sewers extravaganza
2026-05-30T22:31:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Alright sorry to go on and on today but does anyone use the mod Scribo?
2026-05-30T22:31:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Scribo is an in-game book writing mod. I installed it and got a blank book, inkwell and quill but for some reason I can't type into a page or book, am I missing something?
2026-05-30T22:33:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> did you hold Ctrl and click?
2026-05-30T22:34:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Ctrl and click on the book or the page? There's no Readme so sorry if I'm asking a stupid question
2026-05-30T22:35:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Are you supposed to equip the quill because I can't do that
2026-05-30T22:35:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> i havent used it in a while, but i think you hold control and click/drag the paper you want to writ on
2026-05-30T22:36:35  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> Okay I'll need to give that a shot after dinner thank you again dubious
2026-05-30T22:40:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> I didn't know there was a writeables mod for openmw. I been lookin
2026-05-30T22:44:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <atlanteanautist> I've never completed bloodmoon or tribunal. Barely even gone to solstheim
2026-05-30T22:44:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <koncertejo> Yes
2026-05-30T22:45:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <koncertejo> If I were playing on PC that might bother me but since it's on my Android handheld it's fine
2026-05-30T23:06:45  <OpenMW-bridge> <Matt> Makes sense - I’m debating setting up a ruthlessly small modlist to play on my steamdeck
2026-05-30T23:07:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <Matt> Rather than port over my now somewhat large list from my laptop
2026-05-30T23:23:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <Matt> Although I wonder how it plays with ngarde
2026-05-30T23:39:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> god bless u bro it works.
2026-05-30T23:40:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> @dubiousnpc  please tell me how you got that NWAH badge it is top tier
2026-05-30T23:41:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> Lol from a multiplayer server
2026-05-30T23:41:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> Tales from Nirn
2026-05-30T23:42:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <.bl1nky.> ive never had a badge do you need like nitro or something for it?
2026-05-30T23:43:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <dubiousnpc> No I got just from participating. If you join a few servers you'll probably get one haha Idk how it works really
2026-05-30T23:43:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <bleachedthorns> hey quick question u know how openmw has an option under "scripts" to have over-the-shoulder camera? is there a way to KEEP That over-the-shoulder when i have a weapon or spell ready?
