We always welcome skilled and motivated programmers. Our implementation of bullet is a work in progress and we'd appreciate any help or advice we can get. Just working on a single feature would be a great assistance since making OpenMW is such a huge task. Think of it like Stone Soup: The Game or public works like a library or a park. You can always help the project by spreading the word. Posting info about us on other websites and telling friends who have the skills we are looking for.

Work has also begun on the second and third components of the project. The Example Suite and the Editor.

The Example Suite is a small standalone game and does not contain any Bethesda owned art assets. Therefore, those who do not own Morrowind will be able to play with OpenMW and test it.

The OpenMW Editor is necessary in order to implement the post 1.0 features that the original Morrowind engine isn't capable of. It's currently a one man project, but he could use some help. Here's the link.

The major news for this update comes via Mark (creator of the Crystal Scrolls) : he nearly finished multiple esp/esm support! There are numerous problems, but things are progressing : you'll soon be able to travel to Solstheim!

garvek, our new developer who is also part of the dugeonhack project, started working on cmake fixes and making OpenMW compile with MSVC. The DungeonHack team is in the process of deciding whether to help OpenMW reach basic functionality and then base DungeonHack off our engine. Sounds good to me!

zini after last week of bugfixes and checking if features from merged branches were working, he has returned to working on the script implementation. Excellent!

jhooks1 is continuing work on the physics system. He fixed a bug that allowed players to run up the walls if their speed was high enough. Unfortunately his work on enabling animations through Ogr3d's system still can't handle robes and some creatures. If someone is an expert in animations then you're help is welcomed on our forums.

Gentoo overlay for OpenMW has reached alpha status and awaits testing. Big thanks (if it's working correctly) to edmondo.

Gus added the setangle and setscale instructions but there is still much to be done before his branch is merged into the master.

Scrawl has been working his wonders (namely by finishing the Spell window and alchemy windows). He also changed the color of the water to look less tropical and more like in vanilla Morrowind.
Lurkers of the irc channel are reporting that he mentioned:
I have started rewriting the shader system to allow GLSL. I am a making sort of a library out of it, it will be similar to ogre RTShaderSystem but much better. Then the user can put in a settings file which shader language he wants :P
Ho, and two more developers pvdk and k1ll are active again :)

Finally, we are looking for someone who knows QT to start work on developing a replacement to Bethesda's Construction Kit for OpenMW. If you fit the bill it would be a huge help to the project. Any computer science or game design students out there with free time this summer?

Drag’n'drop allows you to drop things from your inventory. The code is not yet perfect, and not everything is fully functional, but folks are cleaning and improving it.

We got terrain collisions working! You can test this feature by typing tcl or togglecollisions in the console. Terrain collisions will be included in version 0.15.0.

With terrain collisions finished work was renewed on getting Ogre3d-powered animations working. There are still issues with some creatures like the ancestor ghost, but things are slowly moving forward.

scrawl is a machine, he worked on the following:
-Introduction of a new font (not under GPL, unfortunately, but it’s better than nothing) for daedric alphabet.
-Improving scrolls/books interaction and rendering.
-Bugfixes and improvement of the GUI : you can now scroll with the mouse wheel!
-Improvements for journal rendering.
-Single quotes now work.
-Opening/taking/closing books/scrolls now work
-Movement is no longer framerate dependent
-You can now talk with creatures
-More spell backend

The quote of the week :

OpenMW just got to a whole new level
because you can now steal Fargoth’s ring!



Thanks to the propaganda of the PR team, we attracted several new potential coders.

Ho, by the way, if you know some Qt, we are looking for someone to develop the OpenMW Editor. Don’t be shy, apply!

Release packages for other platforms are available on our Download page http://code.google.com/p/openmw/downloads/list . This release brings many notable features, including terrain and water rendering! A video highlighting many of the new changes in this release made by our very own WeirdSexy can be found here.

Please note:

There is a regression in the Launcher in this release, from which you will observe that the rendering subsystem will default to OpenGL regardless of what was previously selected. This will be fixed in the next release. This can be overcome by setting the rendering system explicitly from the launcher each time, or running the OpenMW binary directly from the command line, which will select the renderer that has been set in your config file.
There is a known issue where a crash may occur underwater with the underwater effect enabled on OS X

Changelog:

Fix for meshes rendering with the wrong orientation
Fix for better grabbing of small objects
Fix to enable toggling of collision rendering
Updates to be compatible with Ogre 1.8.0 RC1
