Now, on the other hand, OpenMW does not utilize any third-party extended scripting. The difference is that unlike Morrowind there are plans in OpenMW to permit people to implement these fixes without having to change the code of the game's executable, through dehardcoding in post 1.0.
It still should look the same to the player, but what is under the hood can look completely different.Īs a general rule, most in-game exploits that aren't a result of an equation glitching out or a faulty line of code will be preserved. Third, we are not obliged to choose the same implementation path as Morrowind (where we know or can guess what MW is doing). The launcher is another example for this case. the commandline options and the configuration files for OpenMW look completely different from what Morrowind is using. Second, we can change anything that is not part of the in-game experience, e.g. Note that this does not include any bad game mechanics.

Generally with anything that does not work at all in Morrowind we have complete freedom in deciding how to handle it. There is also no point in mimicing limits (like the if-then nesting depth limits in scripts), if an implementation without these limits isn’t more work. There is absolutely no point to mimic a crash or any other kind of failure mode. First I don’t feel any obligation to copy any non-functional behaviour.
