More updates to OpenMW’s VR support are to be expected in the future. The only real catch here is that it only works with Nvidia GPUs, at least as of now. He even added support for multiview, which basically is a way to render the stereoscopic views in one single pass, making it potentially much faster than the more basic way of rendering the two views with double passes. One of the bigger ones, Stereo, was merged recently and as the name suggests, it adds stereoscopic rendering. This is why Mads started to rewrite his VR feature and split it up into several smaller merge requests. The density of the changes also made it hard for the rest of the team to review.

It was, however, something he wrote for fun and the code was not really something that could be merged with our official code. Mads Buvik Sandvei aka Foal created his VR fork quite some time ago, and many people have been enjoying it. If you’d like to have a go at making your own Lua mod, check out at our documentation! More work on VR This very neat feature was brought to you by uramer.

One of the more recent additions to the Lua system is a settings menu, so that modders can add options to their mods for end users to customise their gaming experience. But know that the road ahead is still quite long before we can even reach some kind of feature parity with MWSE-Lua.

We’ll get there step by step, and each one is going to give more power to modders. More of the game logic needs to be de-hardcoded until we get as powerful as the very advanced capabilities granted by MWSE-Lua.

While our scripting system already offers some cool modding capabilities, it has not reached its full potential yet.
#OBLIVION RELOADED RENDER BOOST MOD#
To name a few, our legendary release video narrator Johnnyhostile released his Smart Ammo and Marksman’s Eye mods, our Lua developer uramer released the mod Attend Me and seelof and Greatness7 collaborated to release a mod called Of Eggs and Dwarves - which, by the way, is available for both OpenMW and MWSE-Lua! Much has happened since last time we wrote about it, and quite some mods have been released since then. The old text-based way of doing things still exists, of course. A highly requested feature now delivered to you by Frederic Chardon, aka fr3dz10.
#OBLIVION RELOADED RENDER BOOST INSTALL#
Speaking of easy ways for end users to install things, our launcher now supports adding and removing data directories and BSA files which allows you to manage your mods in the launcher’s GUI instead of editing a text file. If you want to get an understanding of the new omwfx format, read about it here. You can read about the various post-processing settings here. CMAugust took some great screenshots using these shaders. One shader developer, zesterer, has already made their first contribution to the community. This is, of course, very useful for developers so that they can see the result of what they just wrote in real time without restarting the game. The shaders can also be "hot reloaded", i.e, you can edit the shaders while the game is running. Each shader can be turned on and off in one click and can even be fine-tuned through the super-handy in-game interface. This means shader developers have an easy way to create and tweak shaders that end users can easily install and manage for their games. OpenMW now provides a new file format called omwfx where the post-processing shaders are stored. Modded OpenMW setups will now be able to take a huge step forward in time when it comes to graphic effects.

This is probably the biggest graphical enhancement for OpenMW since the implementation of real-time shadows. Until now that is.Ĭody Glassman aka wazabear finally added a post-processing framework to OpenMW. OpenMW users had to pretend that they had nice things like bloom, HDR, ambient occlusion, godrays or motion blur - all while the game in reality looked dull and boring. This is often done through post-processing shaders, something MGE XE (a third-party tool for vanilla Morrowind.exe) users have been enjoying for a long time already. The lighting effects, the colours and so on.

When you play modern 3D games and compare them to older ones like Morrowind, you’ll most likely notice a certain "punch" in the look of the game that the older games lack. You’ll read about these changes in the changelog of the upcoming 0.48.0 release. This post will only cover the latest progress by the way: there are a lot of things that have happened since last time we had a blog post, but we won’t really be covering those here. But that’s okay, since what OpenMW lacks in public relations, team team makes up for in development - and we have some huge news for you this time. Almost half a year has passed since the last development blog post.
