OpenMW
OpenMW Team | TBD
OpenMW is a new engine for 2002's Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It aims to be a fully playable (and improved!), open source implementation of the game's engine and functionality.
You will still need the original game data to play OpenMW. OpenMW will run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.To give you a better idea of what this project is about, here are some of the aims for the future of OpenMW:
- be a full featured reimplementation of Morrowind
- run natively on Windows, Linux and MacOS X
- support all existing content, including Tribunal, Bloodmoon and all user created mods
- allow much greater modability: change game rules, create new spell effects, etc through scripting.
- fix system design bugs, like the "dirty" GMST entries in mods, and the savegame "doubling" problem
- improve the interface and journal system
- (possibly) improve game mechanics, physics, combat and AI
- (possibly) support multiplayer at some point
- (possibly) improve graphics to use more modern hardware
OpenMW is released under the GNU General Public License version 3.
There has been a change and now we are using C++. Some source code has been ported from the D version, but essentially has been written completely from scratch. It also builds on various other open source tools, most notably OGRE for graphics.
At this point in time we are looking for active developers to help us achieve our 1.0 goals;
a bug free Morrowind that can run natively on Windows, Linux and Mac.

I am really excited about this. Morrowind isn't open-source, so you are essentially MAKING it open-source! There are so many open-source games, but most of them are first-person shooters. With Open MW, and now Arx Fatalis being open-source, that is changing. Not that I have anything against first person shooters, but I want variety, and I think of Morrowind as the king of RPGs.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
hey, was the combat improved? i mean, can you actually HIT you enemies?
Same here I'm wondering if you can turn this into Warband.
We're first recreating the original game (v1.0), after that we'll be changing game mechanics ourselves (post v1.0). Because everyone has a different vision on mechanics, we're also hoping for a good modding community which shall do give the player a wide variety of game mechanics to chose from.
Aren't new assets needed for the example suit?
I am tracking this and I love what you are doing it's very good coding practice.
P.S
I know it says "maybe" support multi but I have both my fingers crossed for it.
Just Awesome.
Already downloaded ;)
Agreed, open source Rebirth would be an amazing game! I'll definitely wait for that one!
