OpenMW v0.27.0 English Captions

0:00:03.310,0:00:03.830
Welcome back!

0:00:03.830,0:00:07.399
We are a little overdue for an update, but
it's finally here.

0:00:07.399,0:00:12.860
OpenMW v0.27.0 has been released.
Let's have a look at what's new in the engine

0:00:12.860,0:00:18.500
and then we'll move on to additional matters.

0:00:18.500,0:00:23.349
The Acrobatics skill is now implemented.
The player may now pay homage to the time-honored

0:00:23.349,0:00:26.829
tradition of jumping absolutely everywhere
to gain levels in this skill.

0:00:26.829,0:00:33.829
The player takes fall damage as expected.

0:00:34.210,0:00:38.700
My personal contribution to this release is
the implementation of God Mode.

0:00:38.700,0:00:41.750
Our implementation behaves differently than
vanilla Morrowind.

0:00:41.750,0:00:46.370
The player's health is damaged normally until
it reaches 1, at which point the player will

0:00:46.370,0:00:50.850
take no additional damage and cannot be killed.

0:00:50.850,0:00:57.850
Torches are now extinguished when they are
submerged in water

0:01:00.000,0:01:04.110
or simply after they have been carried long enough to burn out.

0:01:04.110,0:01:08.999
The player's breath meter now pulsates with
a red glow when you are drowning to let you

0:01:08.999,0:01:12.009
know that you are dying and should probably
seek an air pocket.

0:01:12.009,0:01:17.539
Okay, moving on.
The OpenMW project is more than just the game

0:01:17.539,0:01:20.409
engine that we've talked the most about so
far.

0:01:20.409,0:01:24.590
We are also developing an editor that modders
will need to use to take full advantage of

0:01:24.590,0:01:28.340
the new engine.
This application is tentatively called 'OpenCS',

0:01:28.340,0:01:32.659
and is an analog to the Construction Set that
shipped with vanilla Morrowind.

0:01:32.659,0:01:39.659
OpenCS is still in an early stage of development;
so, many essential features are still missing.

0:01:39.759,0:01:45.329
For example: 3D worldspace editing, drag and
drop - the list goes on. Of course, many of

0:01:45.329,0:01:49.209
these features are in development or planning.

0:01:49.209,0:01:54.539
Currently, we can load existing files and
save them again, kind of.

0:01:54.539,0:01:58.709
We can also create new files.
OpenMW has its own file types for games, and

0:01:58.709,0:02:05.709
game modifications.
These file extensions are ".omwgame" and ".omwaddon",

0:02:05.990,0:02:10.390
respectively.
".omwgame" files represent a self-contained

0:02:10.390,0:02:13.890
game, such as Morrowind, which has no other
dependencies.

0:02:13.890,0:02:19.489
".omwaddon" files represent modifications
that depend upon a base game.

0:02:19.489,0:02:24.700
Existing ".esm" and ".esp" files will be mapped
appropriately to these new file types, according

0:02:24.700,0:02:29.780
to whether they depend on a base game or not.
The content selector in our launcher has been

0:02:29.780,0:02:32.819
updated to reflect these new file types.

0:02:32.819,0:02:39.730
Back to the current state of the editor.
We have tables for most record types.

0:02:39.730,0:02:46.730
We have a script editor (complete with syntax
highlighting).

0:02:48.420,0:02:51.379
We also have a nifty little region map.

0:02:51.379,0:02:56.739
Generally, OpenCS has the same set of advantages
that our engine does.

0:02:56.739,0:03:01.230
It is open-source, of modern design, can be
heavily multi-threaded, and won't suffer the

0:03:01.230,0:03:06.019
problems of containing bugs that will never
be fixed or occasionally producing broken,

0:03:06.019,0:03:07.780
corrupted files.

0:03:07.780,0:03:12.079
However, there are several important differentiating
points to make.

0:03:12.079,0:03:16.500
Unlike the engine, we are not directly re-implementing
the mechanics and workflow of Morrowind's

0:03:16.500,0:03:21.040
Construction Set.
OpenCS is designed from the ground up as a

0:03:21.040,0:03:26.219
superior editor, building on a decade of use-case
scenarios from Morrowind modding.

0:03:26.219,0:03:30.709
So, don't expect to complete every task with
OpenCS the same way you might have done it

0:03:30.709,0:03:35.189
with the Construction Set.
Do expect to be able to accomplish everything,

0:03:35.189,0:03:39.760
and more, that you could with the Construction
Set, but more efficiently and intuitively

0:03:39.760,0:03:41.510
with OpenCS.

0:03:41.510,0:03:45.709
The best way to learn more about OpenCS and
the theory behind its user interface is to

0:03:45.709,0:03:50.269
read the user manual which can be found on
the download section of our website.

0:03:50.269,0:03:55.280
Keep in mind that the manual is also incomplete
and will be updated as OpenCS matures.

0:03:55.280,0:04:00.290
Of course, it doesn't hurt to download the
latest version of OpenMW and play around with

0:04:00.290,0:04:02.069
it for a bit.

0:04:02.069,0:04:06.790
But, to summarize: OpenCS represents almost
all records in easily navigable tables.

0:04:06.790,0:04:11.409
A powerful filtering system makes it much
easier to work with the large amount of assets

0:04:11.409,0:04:16.609
typically available to the modder.
Dialog windows are avoided wherever possible

0:04:16.609,0:04:22.550
and the application is completely non-modal.
The application is multi-window oriented and

0:04:22.550,0:04:26.639
scales very well to multiple monitor setups.

0:04:26.639,0:04:30.560
That's all there is to see for now.
We'll keep you updated on the next release.
