OpenTESArena VS openrw

Arena: Waiting on a playable release of OpenTESArena.

Here's the Arena remake project, which is not using Unity but is instead a complete reimplementation using C++: https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

Here’s a good source to read first. It’ll help you set up your first character so you don’t waste much time failing again and again. I also want to jump into Arena but I’ll wait for a wholesome OpenTESArena. The controls are of the previous century making it very tiresome to play. You could also see some playthroughs on YouTube. Imo it’s worth some time to play around a bit in Arena but if you plan to move on to Daggerfall, go straight to DaggerfallUnity. Cheers and have fun. (And say goodbye to friends…)

Your options are going to be very limited, especially since OpenTESArena has not even reached Beta state yet. But TES Arena Remapped let's you play with WASD controls (you'll want to rename the mapper file to your version of DOSBox).

Nonsense. It's definitely not. The last commit is from June 2022 (https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena) and the Discord Channel active with the dev itself posting quite frequently.

I reckon that'll happen a few days after OpenTESArena gets mod support.

There is no such mod as of yet, but OpenTESArena is being developped and it might provide new options modders.

The Elder Scrolls: Arena has an experimental Linux client with no actual gameplay yet. The version on Steam is apparently the floppy version and is lacking some features, however it does run fine through Doxbox.

There is one, written in c++ https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

Also the OpenRW engine uses SDL2, which is a partial recreation of the RenderWare engine.

They looked at the reverse engineered source code and used it to write the code for RE3 and reVC, code which technically infringes on Rockstar's copyright. If they had used clean room design like OpenRW they wouldn't have ended up with a lawsuit in the first place.

At least we still got OpenRW which can't be taken down as it doesn't use any original code.

support projects like openrw instead. 2k nuked a ton of the other ones that used decompiled ps2 code, but they can't touch OpenRW because it's a rewrite from scratch.

Is there a reason this one hasn't been nuked like re3/revc were?

Well, hopefully the owner of the now-closed openrw repository sees this and re-opens it.

RIP OpenRW
