Default Morrowind - Multiplayer?

January 15th, 2016, 13:35
Morrowind is receiving multiple revivals. RPS gives us the latest on OpenMW, a project that seeks to import Morrowind into a new, modern open source engine and give the game multiplayer functionality.


The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was released in 2002, but it’s on the verge of experiencing new life through multiple revival projects. One of those is OpenMW, which aims to port the game to a new open source engine optimised for modern computers, with robust editing tools, and as of the first early test shown in a video below, multiplayer.

Yeah, saw this earlier this week…

apparently this guy from Europe is the closest anyone has gotten to Morrowind multiplayer

it still looks like pseudo-multiplayer though… he is using Linux and 2 installs to simulate it…. like the other character isn't really there , but we'll see, it sure is a step forward . Hail Resdaynia!

dude, multiplayer always has been the the most wanted feature of morrowind , for 13 years. It was supposedly impossible to do. Something to have with Morrowind's code being altered way too far from the base code, that inherently it would never allow a framework for multiplayer functionality

No they didn't. This is just one guy doing the first baby steps after a long while. It's doubtful that it will support more than few people though, ever. So it wont be like TESO, ever

I'd just like to remind everybody this is in OpenMW. This is how OpenMW looks like




parralax lighting



example of a custom fog shader



Normal, specular, parallax maps







This is how vanilla looks like.





Hard to believe it was once this game….I just tried to wrap my head around that and it hurt

When there is a will, there is a way.

It looks great, but it's been in development since 2013 and still isn't even close to being done. The latest version is only 0.38.0

Patience is a virtue….. in several years it will be done and it'll be the only PC game that's been continuously modded for so long… since 2002….. will make this better than Skywind. Keep in mind OpenMw is more than a mod, its an open source engine re-implementation (with many things that were never possible in morrowind before like, custom shaders, physics based rendering (PBR), parallax maps and maybe even physics and multiplayer )
