OpenMW - open source Morrowind reimplementation
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2008 11:34 am
Hi, I'd just like to announce that OpenMW, an ambitious project I'm currently working on, has just started using Bullet!

OpenMW is an attempt to reimplement Morrowind using only open source software. It is meant to become (in time) a drop-in replacement for the official executables. It's planned to be multi-platform, support all existing content (including all mods, and localized versions), and have lots of new and improved features. However it doesn't replace or contain any art, so you must already own a copy of Morrowind to use it.
The Bullet-relevant code can be found in svn only at the moment. Bullet is only being used for collision detection for now, but adding real physics to Morrowind is definitely possible. The collision part is far from finished though, and all the physics code so far is based heavily on CharacterDemo.
