__NOTOC__


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 natively 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
*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
The [[Features]] page is a list of currently implemented tasks.
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.
