Re: Terrain

Sure. It is a bit of a pain taking screenshots as for some reason the screenshot function segfaults so I have to do it manually: However as requested: http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/3226/openmwt3.png This was what it looked like this morning before several fixes: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10...

Re: Terrain

Ah. The issue I have is that Morrowind handles texture files in a strange way. So that for example if the landscape file is reference as myfile.tga , but it doesn't exist it then tries myfile.dds and uses that if it exists (Or something like that, it maybe that it checks for myfile.dds first irrespe...

Re: Terrain

I started this a bit late (read: Friday) due to hardware problems (Not having any over Christmas and finding that I couldn't compile and do anything else due to a lack of RAM when I got back home) but I have extended the work corristo did so that the terrain is now rendered correctly and textures ar...

Re: Terrain

Good question. I think shader model 2 is the bare minimum that we can expect on any hardware today (even older boxes). I doubt anyone is running anything less capable anymore. If you must, use shader model 3. But we should stay clear of anything newer, because it would lock out a significant part o...

Re: Contributing

1. Go to the bug Tracker. 2. Pick 3 very easy tasks. 3. Review them with Zini. 4. Spend one week studying our program, setting up your environment, and planning the feature and your implementation. 5. Spend the next three finishing the tasks. Doing smaller tasks sounds like a good timetable, except...

Scripting Language

I haven't had a look at the code much yet, I am not sure if this has been considered however has anyone considered using Lua, JavaScript or Python instead of the Morrowind scripting language and just use the current parser to convert the current scripts on load? It has some overhead, but as far as I...
