OpenMW v0.22.0

0:00:03.000,0:00:07.960
Hello again. The OpenMW team
has been slaving away over hot keyboards.

0:00:07.960,0:00:12.279
As a result, we've released version zero
point twenty-two point zero.

0:00:12.279,0:00:16.480
This is a massive release and somewhat of a
milestone for the project.

0:00:16.480,0:00:20.359
We'll show you a few of its features here.

0:00:20.359,0:00:25.219
We now have basic animations such as
walking, running, sneaking, and swimming

0:00:25.219,0:00:27.210
working interactively.

0:00:27.210,0:00:34.210
No longer will you float about like some
would-be lich while using OpenMW.

0:00:51.160,0:00:56.250
OpenMW can now load multiple master files as well as regular plugins.

0:00:56.250,0:00:59.690
As you might imagine, this is an
extraordinarily complex feature and we

0:00:59.690,0:01:02.760
may still have some issues to work out.

0:01:02.760,0:01:05.930
You'll probably be able to forgive that
for now, though, as you visit the majestic

0:01:05.930,0:01:10.770
city of Mournhold, the harsh island of
Solstheim, and the many user-created

0:01:10.770,0:01:12.800
landscapes you may now choose to load,

0:01:12.800,0:01:14.049
such as these areas from the

0:01:14.049,0:01:17.280
Tamriel Rebuilt project. Just think,

0:01:17.280,0:01:21.440
someday, these two colossal projects will
be complete and you'll be able to venture

0:01:21.440,0:01:24.950
across the entirety of the Province of Morrowind

0:01:24.950,0:01:28.470
driven by a fully-functional OpenMW.

0:01:28.470,0:01:32.370
We can all raise a jug of Sujamma to that.

0:01:32.370,0:01:36.140
If you wish to view a video of an
adventurer traveling from Mournhold,

0:01:36.140,0:01:39.410
across Vvardenfell, to Fort Frostmoth on Solstheim,

0:01:39.410,0:01:46.410
click the annotation in the corner.

0:01:53.550,0:01:57.310
OpenMW now gives you the familiar option to discreetly eliminate

0:01:57.310,0:02:04.310
those pesky, incriminating, dead bodies that
may occasionally be left in your wake.

0:02:11.079,0:02:15.219
The icons corresponding to the magical
effects currently affecting the Player,

0:02:15.219,0:02:21.620
found next to the mini-map, are now displayed
by OpenMW. You can see them change as we

0:02:21.620,0:02:25.900
once again consume copious amounts of
alcohol and just maybe a levitation

0:02:25.900,0:02:32.900
potion or two.

0:02:33.529,0:02:37.029
Adventurers who are particularly
conceited will be happy to know that the

0:02:37.029,0:02:41.799
vanity camera now has zoom capabilities,
allowing them a much better view of that

0:02:41.799,0:02:46.489
magnificent visage.

0:02:46.489,0:02:51.159
OpenMW now properly supports the
alpha channel of in-game textures.

0:02:51.159,0:02:55.029
This is easy to see, for example, while
viewing the spiral clouds of doom

0:02:55.029,0:02:57.439
inside the crater of Red Mountain.

0:02:57.439,0:03:01.939
Without handling the alpha channel, they looked like this.

0:03:01.939,0:03:05.489
Now they just need to be spinning and we'll be golden.

0:03:05.489,0:03:09.559
The behavior of light sources such as
lamps, candles, and torches as been

0:03:09.559,0:03:16.559
altered to more closely match vanilla Morrowind.

0:03:18.209,0:03:21.359
That's about all we can show in the way
the user-visible features

0:03:21.359,0:03:22.289
for now.

0:03:22.289,0:03:25.739
But there are multiple technical
features and no fewer than fifty-seven bug

0:03:25.739,0:03:28.189
fixes included in this release.

0:03:28.189,0:03:31.899
You can read more about some of those if
you go digging through our website. To

0:03:31.899,0:03:35.319
those of you who don't follow the
project on such a close level, just be

0:03:35.319,0:03:40.559
aware that much more goes into these
releases than what is shown in the videos.

0:03:40.559,0:03:44.139
Anyway, keep an eye on the project and hopefully
will have another sizable release out

0:03:44.139,0:03:45.649
before very long.

0:03:45.649,0:03:50.069
Before you know it, you'll be exploring
and shaping the events of Vvardenfell, and

0:03:50.069,0:03:52.529
beyond, like never before.

0:03:52.529,0:03:54.859
See you next time. And, as always,

0:03:54.859,0:03:55.279
thanks for watching.
