It needs proprietary javascript to work so I can't use that site.

And instead of creating new work why not use already existing sounds that were made for projects like this?

morrowind really is the best. i first played it on xbox, what about you, fellow channers?

>>14596066

Dunmer are essentially native americans with a worse PR department.

>>14596976

>Getting cucked by an inferior race

LOL

>>14597015

Woah, what mod adds a Mephala shrine?

>>14597410

Nice shoes.

>>14597410

I really cannot fucking stand depth of field in games, least of all morrowind. Also is that MGSO? Looks like MGSO.

>>14597691

Furslaves blown the fuck out.

>>14595127

Looks neat. Are you planning on implementing climbing as a skill, like in Daggerfall? And is gliding going to be restricted to the staff? To me, gliding would fit in best as a magic effect, like levitation and slowfall. It makes no sense to me that mages can practically fly, yet can't replicate the function that a simple tool can do.

>>14596066

>why they're always going to be cucked by a superior race.

But they entered an effective stalemate with the Empire, which is something no other race has done. That's why they were able to enter it with things like slavery intact. They got all the benefits of the Empire without having to sacrifice their culture or rights. Hlaalu may have been massive sellouts, but that wasn't the entire province's fault for joining the Empire. Hell, after all the tragedy that struck them, it gave best House leverage to kick Hlaalu out and become the leading House.

>>14598269

I could either add climbing as a new skill or I could make it based on acrobatics and athletics, but I can only add it as a new skill if I remove another one, which I might do to the armor skills. Technically gliding is just slowfall with stamina damage, in the mod you normally can't move in the air but air movement is not disabled if you have slowfall, so mages can definitely glide.

>>14598843

You should probably make it based on acrobatics, if you were to remove an armor skill I could see it putting some people off from using the mod.

>>14598876

I will likely remove all armor skills anyways, Daggerfall did it better. Armor skills just discourages you from mixing and matching different armor types and they don't even make sense. I'll replace any extra ones by splitting up speechcraft into multiple persuasion skills. People should be put off by this mod by default, I made it for myself. If someone doesn't like a component of the mod they can disable it since everything is contained in its own directory.

I would add back in linguistic skills if I could come up with some things to do when talking to creatures.

>>14598909

That's the problem with the language skills. In Daggerfall, they did little more than make certain enemies non-aggressive. It would be difficult to give them a practical purpose, without massively changing other parts of the game.

>>14597410

those overhauls always look disgusting and out of place

you just replace fog and lowres with brown and bloom and absolutely disgustingly oversaturated visuals in general

also MGE is outdated

>>14598909

>>14598919

Yeah language skills did in Daggerfall what the calm humanoid/creature spells do in Morrowind.

>>14598923

I agree, it looks like absolute garbage. Besides my favorite random texture/mesh replacers all I really want now is for OpenMW to have a better looking fog shader along with distant land and LOD generation that doesn't bring my framerate to a fucking crawl. Well, that and not also killing my framerate when there's a large number of non-static objects in my vacinity.

I enjoy playing as a khagit because I can just steal shit and then pawn it off if I don't like it.

>>14595027

Nice. Will it be kinda like Mordhau or something like that?

>>14599064

I haven't played it so I can't say for sure, but I did at the very least make each of the attack directions viable but different so you shouldn't just use always use best attack, but you also shouldn't use them indiscriminately. Chop is best if you charge it fully, thrust is best if you spam, and slash is best if you charge it a bit.

>>14598919

>>14598948

I'd like to extend what you can do with dialogue though like make people follow you around, trade, or flee, but I haven't looked much into how to do this. I'll see about it after the climbing system is finished.

>>14601197

That's what's funny. Despite the conbat being trash, it's better than Skyrim and Oblivion through the virtue of being short. The fact that skills matter more in Morrowind than in the other two means that dps scales higher in Morrowind than the other two. This means Morrowind can focus less on combat and more on worldbuilding. Skyrim on the other hand is full of shitty drawn out combat that feel limp and has no consequences or danger.

>>14597031

Most/all Daedric ruins have a statue to one of them inside even if it's not a usable one, so it's probably just in vanilla.

>>14597384

I do Altmer mage, generally Telvanni for their max magicka. Also Altmer don't add extra powers to clutter my magic menu.

>>14597403

Generally I keep to staves since they can be enchanted the best (last playthrough I used my goddess soul on one that did max fire damage in max radius, plus self-heal on hit). When I'm feeling particularly cruel I'll put an enemy to the ground through fatigue, then slowly kill them with an iron dagger or staff that restores their health on hit. Then finish them off with something apocalyptic.

>>14598962

Bosmer are the better known thieves.

>>14601427

Hand-to-hand works fairly well on its own since it can put enemies down (especially if you do it in water) and levels up extremely fast but you're best off combining it with magic to make their life even more frustrating.

>>14601540

This is why I do mage most of the time, with some exceptions because some mods add powerful weapons and partly eliminate the garbage scaling.

>>14601427

This is intended to boost Hand-to-hand with spells that act as weapon enchantments for your hands

http://mw.modhistory.com/download-44-3886

>>14601427

Make a Levitate Spell 1 pt. on touch, walk away a short distance, and laugh your ass off since your enemies burn through all of their fatigue as they keep running towards you at a snail's speed.

In a ranged version, such a spell also is fairly convenient to keep enemy NPCs away so you can beat the crap out of their friends one by one.

>>14601627

That spell really is a cheap way to cripple things. It does funny things to cliff racers too. Also it's funny to fly up to a high place with enemies in tow and then laugh as they fall to their death.

Also for self-levitation you get much more benefit from combining 1 point of levitate with fortify speed x.

where my axe brothers at?

swordlets need not apply

>>14601577

>Most/all Daedric ruins have a statue to one of them inside even if it's not a usable one, so it's probably just in vanilla

I've never seen it before, that's why I was wondering. Can't find anything about it on uesp either. Maybe I should check the CS. I always thought it was lame that Mephala was the only Anticipation in Morrowind without a proper statue, just a boring old altar.

Anyone play the jewish grindan card game?

It got a morrowind expansion yesterday

>>14601977

Mephala is also the most secretive and of the three, and doesn't even have a consistent appearance

>>14601997

There is an elder scrolls cardgame? I probably dont want to know do I

>>14601976

>implying I don't multi-track drift with axe and spear

begone swordfaggot

>>14601977

>>14601997

I found that picture on google. I'm sure it's from a mod. I think Mephala is just represented by a symbol in vanilla.

>>14602002

Yep

It's marginally better than hearthstone, for whatever the hell that's worth

>>14601540

>The combat balance in Oblivion and Skyrim is basically based on pic related; either you've been using combat skills a lot and you can buttfuck anything you meet or you've been doing things that don't directly involve combat in which case you're fucked until you grind.

That's the inherent problem with leveling content to your character. Depending on what skills you use, and how you play the game is either too easy, or too hard with no inbetween.

Why do Khajiits walks in such a retarded way in this game ? not to mention that they're usually al uselessl slaves alongside the argonians. I kinda regret selecting a Khajit as a Nerevarine.

>>14602861

>Why do Khajiits walks in such a retarded way in this game

Because they have digitigrade feet, not human feet.

>>14602861

>>14602894

I always play Dunmer, but I usually free any Khajiit slaves I come across if it's convenient for me in spite of their criminal ways, since I figure it's in the Nerevarines interest to stay in Azura's good books. I kill the Argonian slaves of course, gotta keep the hist out.

>>14603113

>Angry grandpa house better than Telvanni

>>14603113

So Indoril are lemmings, then?

>>14597283

These two are great.

>>14603926

>That climbing looks fucking awesome.

>game mechanics which will carry it into the future

You're funny

>>14603926

Swing speed is already a thing, knockdown chance is just based on how much damage they do. I'm considering making blunt weapons do more fatigue/limb damage but less health damage than other weapons too.

Acrobatics currently determines how fast you can climb, you fall off if your stamina reaches 0 (and it is constantly drained as you climb, it stays still if you don't move). Pretty much the same system as Breath of the Wild except influenced by skills and attributes.

I am excited for OpenMW since there will be a lot more that I can do once it's dehardcoded (and it's just a pain in the ass to do this shit in MWscript). Unfortunately there is a lot of drama on the forums right now about the lead dev being apprehensive on the topic of extending the scripting system. Pretty much everyone but him wants to implement Lua but he's pretty autistic about security; he thinks people will try to make mods with viruses and will prevent the scripting system from having network/file IO access in the name of security.

That said, the guy who makes MWSE (and is about to add Lua support to it) said that if Zini won't have it then he'll fork OpenMW and make OpenOpenMW, I'm sure that drama will be fun too.

>playing casualized TES

>not playing the only good one Arena

Khajit Acrobat (=･ｪ･=)

reminds of how shit archery in MW can't even enchant bow properly

like 30 mods including few of my own

openmw is great, works fast, loading times are pretty much nonexistent

leveled to like 40 and mostly dropped again as I have no interest in doing story another time and already hoarded all artifacts to my house. actually house is stolen too ﾍ(=^･ω･^= )ﾉ

>>14605191

While they're not likely to I really hope OpenMW adds bow enchantments and poisons, and something to streamline the magic "jazz hands". Those were legitimate improvements in Oblivion.

>>14605203

>What are mods

>>14605203

OP here, another experiment I was working on for the mod was an overhaul of the alchemy system. I replaced custom potions with preset recipes you make in specific apparatuses, and they result in the same potions you buy at shops and stuff. However I also made those potions much more interesting, all of them have positive and negative effects, and you can apply them to your weapon or throw them. For example, Resist frost has a magnitude of 100% but does 15 fire damage to you which can make it useful as both a weapon and a buff. The quality level wouldn't change the magnitude of those effects, it would just increase the radius of the splash damage when thrown, amount of uses when applied to your weapon, and decrease the "toxicity" applied when you drink it. I pretty much copied the system from the Witcher for that, if you drink too many low quality potions you die.

The downside of this implementation is that it involves batching the creation of over 600 scripts. I finished it for the potions but got stuck on the script to brew potions in the apparatuses since it's quite complicated.

>>14605912

>Replacing a sandbox crafting system with a generic one

>>14605912

But why? Alchemy is one of the few things TES does halfway right.

>>14607239

I think it's pretty bad actually, you don't put any thought into potions you make or which apparatuses you use, in mine you have to consider all of the following to not fuck up the potion: ingredients, ingredient proportions (like 2x void salts and 1x daedra heart), which apparatus you use, and how long you brew it for. Complicated potions even require you to do multiple steps, here's how you brew invisibility:

Mash a coda flower and two luminous russula in a mortar and pestle, boil the result in a calcinator with bittergreen petals for 10 seconds, then put a diamond in and keep boiling for another 20 seconds. Then, mix vampire dust with ectoplasm and put the product of that and the concoction in the calcinator in an alembic for a day. If you stop the process at any point you'll end up with different potions because the invisibility potion is made from the chameleon, night eye, light, and silence potions.

I ensured that you could make at least every kind of useful potion you can make in vanilla, and there ends up being a lot more due to having the ability to combine effects that didn't exist together otherwise, specifically in the side effects making all potions useable as poisons in the right circumstances.

>>14607676

It sounds like you've fallen into the trap of "more complex must mean better", and just created a tediously boring system that no one, but those specifically into chemistry, is going to bother with. It's like how some minecraft mods add a bunch of tedious microcrafting that only dedicated autists actually enjoy. You have to balance complexity so that a mechanic is neither so simple it's boring or so complicated that it becomes a chore. Multiple, strictly specific steps that involve a lot of waiting around, that will fail if not followed exactly, just for a single item, sounds very much like a chore. I know this is mostly a personal project, but you have to understand that, even if you publicly release it, you might be the only person who ever bothers with that alchemy system.

>>14607758

I wasn't intending to release any of the gameplay stuff until people asked about the limb damage and climbing, so I wasn't expecting anyone else to give a shit about this kind of autism in the first place.

>>14607771

So, wait, what's the logic behind this thread, then? Why wouldn't you expect people to want the cool mods you deliberately wanted to show off? It's like making a batch of brownies, taking them to a party to show them off, and then being surprised when people want to eat them.

>>14607771

I kind of like your idea. But I don't like it enough to be willing to give up custom potions since that has always been one of my favorite aspects of the game. Why couldn't you just expand the way custom potions work?

Say each ingredient has one basic status effect. Except, you don't have to combine two ingredients with like effects. Now, all it takes to get one consumable product is to process one ingredient, however, the potency of the byproduct will be based on, not only your skill and quality of apparatus, but also the quantity of the ingredient. Also, specific byproducts will be results of specific apparatus.

So… just a mortar and pestle will turn an ingredient into a rough powder or a mash, depending on whether it is a dry or wet ingredient. Then, the rough powder or mash can be refined into more potent products with combinations of the other apparatus: fine powders, pastes, potions, cakes, etc. Then, on top of that, combinations of certain ingredients or refined stages of ingredients would result in other hidden effects that you need to stumble across or look up in a recipe book. For example, saltrice will make an adequate fatigue mash out of the mortar/pestle, marshmerrow will make an adequate health mash from the mortar pestle. However, boiling a saltrice mash into a potion will remove the energy boost and make a useless soup, but boiling saltrice mash and marshmerrow mash together will result in a more effective health potion, or boiling saltrice mash and hackle-lo mash will make a more effective fatigue potion.

>>14608004

>Why couldn't you just expand the way custom potions work?

That would require editing the source code.

>>14608838

Sure, hit me.

>>14608838

>disagreement

How long has this filter been on?

>>14608868

This one contains the bugfixes and installation instructions:

https://mega.nz/#!bUUiTZKJ!JZZnXNhFXbEd6GhVwtSQ0ZZ01BjcPv4fZ9zH2ttFtNs

And this one contains the graphics mods:

https://mega.nz/#!2cVglKiT!TKNSG6gf6STty3LT5UgJrXCABnCZHhotZ8u4a2v_OIA

If you install the bugfixes without the graphics mod then launch the game your load order will be messed up, you can just copypaste the load order section into openmw.cfg again to fix it.

All the mods are in their own folders so if you don't like anything all you have to do is either delete it, rename/move the folder, or remove it from the list in openmw.cfg, whatever you prefer.

>>14608838

>>14608937

Are you the anon from the MW threads not too long ago that was working on a compilation for OpenMW? Also is there a chance you could upload these to a host other than (((Mega)))?

>>14609814

Yes I'm the same one, what's wrong with mega? Is it compromised or something? What's the preferred alternative? Surely not google drive or dropbox I'd figure.

>>14609879

It's purely for selfish reasons, mega is just a pain in the ass to download from for me. I'd prefer something like Zippyshare but I dunno if you'd have to break the archive up into parts to upload it there so if it's too much trouble just forget it. I've never tried using megatools though so maybe I'll give that a shot. I was a little hesitant about the gameplay changes you proposed but I'd like to try out the graphics mods you compiled, those screenshots look pretty good. What's included in the bugfixes file?

>>14609892

Why is it a pain in the ass? If you're referring to the 6gb download limit, both files are under 3gb total.

The bugfixes are a lot of UV fixes, the patch project, and many small mods that improve internal consistency, like one that creates keys to the locked doors in all the towns and puts them in appropriate places like the inventories of their owners, or one that makes scrolls have daedric text on them describing the spell. The kind of stuff that wouldn't be included in an unofficial patch since it goes beyond fixing bugs, but also improves the game in a way that wouldn't be controversial at all (like the gameplay and graphics stuff). If anyone does find a mod in the core package to be controversial let me know and I'll just put it in the gameplay one instead.

>>14607758

sounds easily remedied by making potion effects much more powerful/longlasting. that way it's worth spending time creating a single item.
