openmw VS tes3cmd

I heard that the weapon hit time problem and some of the AI magic use (notably Snowy Granius no longer summoning his skeleton) are currently fixed (or partly for the magic use AI) in Nightly, as well as some new features like volumetric fog.

specifically, I wanted to talk about their post that they kept mentioning- https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues/5270

I couldn't find a way to get this to work. Openmw version .48 downloaded from the GitHub has terrible performance issues when ran using the launch options %command%. I'm talking about using the launch options file path for Morrowind when launching in Steam. It works fine in desktop mode when launching via openmw-launcher and supposedly has to do with the steam os overlay? https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues/7498 The flatpak works fine when added as a non steam game but is there a way to launch openmw and track playtime for Morrowind? It's easy on windows to do just by renaming openmw launcher to Morrowind launcher.exe in the game folders. I've read a potential solution is running the Windows version with proton but wish it would be able to work with the native Linux builds.

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Wrye Mash's merging function is obsolete as far as I know.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Use TES3cmd for cleaning, TESTool is very outdated.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.)
