Notes of progress on "fixing" some mods
Companions (mostly Emma's)
Issues:
- Over-strict name checking
- Initially names starting with a numeral were rejected as errors - now fixed
- CS still disallows initial numeral in names of scripts - though this is recommended by "Morrowind Scripting for Dummies" which despite its name is a serious resource
- Script names including "." are rejected as errors
- There was a weird bug, fixed in OpenMW 0.42, involving name clashes between NPCs and Journal entries - see https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=4125&start=10#p46637
- There is an outstanding bug report for addtopic refusing entries with an initial "-" - see https://bugs.openmw.org/issues/3846
- A fix in later companions is now counter-productive in OpenMW, leading to them initiating combat unnecessarily. See https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=4125&start=20#p46773
Status
- Witchgirl (Morgana)
- Suffers from rejection of her main movement script 1AA_MorganaScript4.4 because of the included "."
- Laura
- Suffers from rejection of her main movement script 1AA_LauraScript7.5 because of the included "."
- Suffered from the journal ID clash - fixed in OpenMW 0.42
- Beryl
- Suffers from the counter-productive combat fix
- Constance
- Suffers from the counter-productive combat fix
- Suffers from the addtopic "-" bug
- Also suffers from syntax errors in scripts that remove her "bonus" spells cast on the player, so they probably become permanant
- Laurenna (White Wolf of Lokken)
- Suffered from the counter-productive combat fix
- Dome Home
- Ingred suffers from the combat fix
Resolution
I believe Emma would be willing to incorporate the necessary fixes, and make OpenMW-friendly versions available on her website, but she's out of contact for the rest of the month (Aug 2017)
I am also hoping to produce an updated version of the Witchgirl mod, to fix her rather erratic spell control, and possibly extend her capabilities, subject to Emma's agreement/approval.
Other Emma/Grumpy Mods
- Companionable Cats
Kittens are OK, but cats lack a bounding box and fall through the floor... See https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=4125&start=30#p46801
- Pack Donkeys
Reports of problems, which seem to arise from mod clashes, cause not yet identified
Teleportation
CD Cooley's Companion Teleportation now mostly works: (see https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=4390#p48098)
- Teleporting between external cells is fine
- Teleporting within the same cell is fine
- Teleporting from external to internal cell fails - expected, same as vanilla MW
- Teleporting from internal to external cell fails - not expected, needs fixing...
From my limited investigation to date, it appears that the script command "Position" is unreliable, but "Positioncell" is OK.
On further examination, the mod uses "SetPos" - which does not appear to be implemented correctly. Namely that moving from interior to exterior cell the coordinates are updated correctly, but the npc being moved goes into an invisible/inactive state. "Position" has a similar problem.
The npc has been removed from original position, can be recovered by "PositionCell" but not by "enable".
