OpenMW v0.29.0 English Captions

0:00:02.020,0:00:03.040
Hello again!

0:00:03.040,0:00:08.190
The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release
of v0.29.0!

0:00:08.190,0:00:12.449
Keep in mind that before we hit v1.0, which
will be a fully-playable replacement

0:00:12.449,0:00:16.609
for the original engine of The Elder Scrolls
III: Morrowind, most of the engine-related

0:00:16.609,0:00:19.120
changes
you'll see are re-implementations of features

0:00:19.120,0:00:22.280
found in vanilla Morrowind. With that out
of the way,

0:00:22.280,0:00:25.960
let's have a look at some of what's new in
this release.

0:00:25.960,0:00:32.960
The AI instructions AIFollow and AIFollowCell
have been implemented,

0:00:33.289,0:00:37.579
so we can now tell NPCs to follow the Player
or another NPC --

0:00:37.579,0:00:44.579
either indefinitely or to some predefined
location.

0:00:50.640,0:00:57.640
The instruction AIActivate has been implemented.
So, NPCs can now activate interactive objects

0:01:05.420,0:01:12.420
- meaning they can open doors and stuff.

0:01:49.240,0:01:54.039
Perhaps the most groundbreaking feature of
this release is game saving and loading.

0:01:54.039,0:01:57.990
Some of you have expressed that the previous
absence of this feature was the only barrier

0:01:57.990,0:02:03.639
for you to downloading OpenMW and testing
it out. You no longer have an excuse!

0:02:03.639,0:02:07.039
This feature is not quite complete, so some
game state is still dropped.

0:02:07.039,0:02:12.890
I want to stress that the save file format
will probably not be finalized until v1.0.

0:02:12.890,0:02:17.800
This means that any save files you make before
v1.0 could become incompatible with the next

0:02:17.800,0:02:20.840
release.
In the meantime, this is still a huge step

0:02:20.840,0:02:23.660
forward and makes testing
and playing around with the engine in its

0:02:23.660,0:02:30.660
current state much less tedious.

0:02:44.360,0:02:51.360
Player Death is now handled appropriately.
Some of you will be using this one quite alot.

0:02:53.340,0:02:56.840
Some more combat-related AI instructions have
been implemented.

0:02:56.840,0:02:59.790
This means that NPCs are better at things
like target acquisition,

0:02:59.790,0:03:04.640
knowing when to attack, when to defend themselves,
and when to stop attacking after they've killed

0:03:04.640,0:03:11.640
their target.

0:03:19.000,0:03:23.750
Combat AI is now implemented for creatures.
This is a welcome change as having been ignored

0:03:23.750,0:03:30.750
by Morrowind's wildlife just didn't feel right
at all.

0:03:32.530,0:03:39.530
OpenMW now handles leveled creature spawns.
This means there's more wildlife roaming around

0:03:42.990,0:03:49.990
now, including cliff racers.
Hooray cliff racers!

0:03:55.040,0:04:00.040
The little blood splat animations that play
during melee combat when a successful blow

0:04:00.040,0:04:07.040
is dealt are now working.

0:04:10.560,0:04:15.290
Knockdown has been implemented so that the
Player, NPCs, and creatures sometimes collapse

0:04:15.290,0:04:17.750
to the ground
when they sustain a grievous injury like a

0:04:17.750,0:04:24.750
fall from great height or a blow from a heavy
weapon.

0:04:27.460,0:04:34.460
Creatures, such as Golden Saints, Rieklings,
and Goblins that carry weapons or shields

0:04:38.289,0:04:45.289
can now equip
and use them.

0:05:01.810,0:05:06.960
Area Effect magic is now implemented. Feel
free to burninate the countryside at your

0:05:06.960,0:05:10.039
discretion.
Almost all magic effects have been implemented

0:05:10.039,0:05:17.039
at this point so go crazy.

0:05:22.389,0:05:29.389
Blocking during melee combat has been implemented.

0:05:38.020,0:05:42.389
Disease contraction is now implemented.
The Player can now catch all manner of common

0:05:42.389,0:05:49.389
and blight disease from coming into contact
with infected hosts.

0:06:04.449,0:06:09.319
In Morrowind, certain spells are granted automatically
to the Player if the assign any magic skills

0:06:09.319,0:06:11.839
to their major skill set when they choose or

0:06:11.839,0:06:16.580
create a class during character creation.
These spells are now given out correctly in

0:06:16.580,0:06:20.349
OpenMW.

0:06:20.349,0:06:24.219
Some objects have scripts bound to them that
are meant to be executed when they are equipped

0:06:24.219,0:06:27.300
by the Player.
An example of this sort of object would be

0:06:27.300,0:06:32.389
the sealed treasury report given by Edryno
Arethi for the Bank Courier quest.

0:06:32.389,0:06:36.599
If the Player reads this report from their
inventory, a script marks the report seal

0:06:36.599,0:06:39.759
as 'broken',
which obviously causes some negative consequences

0:06:39.759,0:06:42.960
for the Player.
Anyway, these scripts are now executed upon

0:06:42.960,0:06:49.289
such items being equipped by the Player in
OpenMW.

0:06:49.289,0:06:56.289
There have been several improvements to our
implementation of the Journal.

0:07:00.169,0:07:04.710
Quest names are now shown in the quest index
and the quest index can now filter out quests

0:07:04.710,0:07:09.180
that the Player has already completed.
The topic view now shows the name of any NPC

0:07:09.180,0:07:16.180
who spoke about a particular topic.

0:07:17.479,0:07:24.479
OpenCS has been making progress as well.
I'll just mention a couple of new features

0:07:27.129,0:07:29.889
in this video.
But, dig around on our website if you want

0:07:29.889,0:07:36.889
to get a better feel for everything that is
going on with our editor.

0:07:37.139,0:07:41.479
There is now a record cloning features that
allows the user to duplicate a selected record.

0:07:41.479,0:07:48.479
A unique ID for this record is given by the
user.

0:07:49.879,0:07:56.879
OpenCS now has drag and drop functionality.
For example, you can drag a race record onto

0:08:00.860,0:08:05.580
an NPC record from the referenceables table
to change the race of that NPC.

0:08:05.580,0:08:09.849
This functionality enhances the filter system
that has been mentioned in the past.

0:08:09.849,0:08:13.680
By the way, there is now a filter table with
a default set of filters that you can add

0:08:13.680,0:08:16.869
to for any
project-specific filters that you find yourself

0:08:16.869,0:08:20.729
tying in often.
Anyway, you can create complex filters via

0:08:20.729,0:08:24.439
drag and drop.
For example, say you wanted to view only NPCs

0:08:24.439,0:08:29.020
affiliated with imperial factions.
Just select all of the imperial factions from

0:08:29.020,0:08:32.719
the factions table and drag them to filter
bar in the the referenceables table.

0:08:32.719,0:08:37.900
Unfortunately, this feature currently seems
to be broken on the Windows operating system.

0:08:37.900,0:08:44.900
So, sorry about that. We'll fix it as soon
as we can.

0:08:49.110,0:08:52.440
Version and build information is now displayed
in the launcher.

0:08:52.440,0:08:55.460
This makes it easy to always know what version
of OpenMW you are running

0:08:55.460,0:08:58.900
and might be a nice piece of information to
include in any bug reports that you are

0:08:58.900,0:09:05.900
awesome enough to have made an account on
our issue tracker to submit.

0:09:06.700,0:09:09.190
That's all for now.
Keep in mind that I don't go through every

0:09:09.190,0:09:13.270
change to the codebase in these videos.

0:09:13.270,0:09:18.640
release announcement on our website, openmw.org,
where you can find our blog, forums, and so on.

0:09:18.640,0:09:25.640
Until next time, thanks for watching.
