TES3MP, which needs OpenMW

Me and my friends have been playing Morrowind once again, this engine makes it very playable on modern hardware. We have also tried out the fork of this engine that adds _multiplayer_ https://tes3mp.com/

Get it from here: https://github.com/TES3MP/TES3MP/releases

https://tes3mp.com/Note: The first download on the github page is the VR version, so unless you have a VR set to play the game with, don't download that one. It works in multiplayer too though.

This got me to finally play through and beat Morrowind in my 30s, avenging my 13yo self who had looted and lost an essential quest item on the Xbox version and got stuck in the main quest line.

I played it while taking notes about quest lines which was a bit more fun than just following quest markers. Though that was only fun because of Morrowind's weird alien world. There are only a few games intriguing enough to warrant note-taking.

Something interesting in the ecosystem is the tes3cmd cli tool anonymously(?) written in Perl: https://github.com/john-moonsugar/tes3cmd/blob/master/tes3cm... for manipulating game/mod files.

Record merging tools that should work great alongside Habasi: * Leveled lists(LEVC, LEVI): Jobasha(GitHub, Nexus Mods), tes3cmd, OMWLLF * Landscape(LAND): Merged Lands * Most types of records: TES3Merge (GitHub, Nexus Mods), DeltaPlugin

Tools that also work with leveled lists(and do much more): * tes3cmd * OMWLLF * TES3Merge (GitHub, Nexus Mods) * DeltaPlugin

Here's the link for tes3cmd.

Wrye Mash's merging function is obsolete as far as I know. Use TES3Merge (for the Merged Objects patch) and tes3cmd (for the multipatch, which merges the levelled lists).

Use TES3cmd for cleaning, TESTool is very outdated. Click on the .exe file in the link to download.

Some guides will also mention if you want to use multiple mods that add new items/enemies to leveled lists, you'll need Wrye Mash and TES3CMD to make a multipatch so they don't just overwrite each other. (Might be a newer tool that is easier, dunno.)
