yondertoy · Jun 10, 2019

Hi all,

So awesome to see so many wonderful port like TES 3 on switch !! Thank you so much !!!
Maybe RTCW will occur soon

But, ... in my case, each time i'm trying to launch my GOTY GOG french version, i only get a Error Code 2168-0001 (0x2a8) right after the loading screens (just after Bloodmoon.esm loading) :/

Best items in the game to 'cheat' via console (if you'd want to) for new players:

Name - Console ID

Code:

Royal Signet Ring - Helseth's Ring

Best item in the game gives you health and stamina regen, and also 100% magic resistance (needed for speed boots

)
This is a Tribunal item so you need the GOTY version of Morrowind to get it.

Code:

Boots of Blinding Speed - boots of blinding speed[unique]

Best item in the game, even better than the previous one.

Gives you +200 speed (out of a base max 100), but makes you blind (you literally see nothing). With 100% magic resistance though - you can resist the effect. OpenMW might still make the screen darker if you use them - normal MW didn't, you have to test this out. For me on my savegame where I'm already wearing them - screen brightness is 100% normal.

Code:

Eltonbrand - katana_bluebrand_unique
Daedric Dai-katana - daedric dai-katana
Sunder - sunder

One of those three is the best weapon in game, probably sunder (because of strength +), you only can wield sunder though, when you also have Wraithguard equipped. And both of them are main story rewards - so think hard about if you'd want to cheat them...

Code:

Wraithguard - wraithguard
Wraithguard - wraithguard_jury_rig

Are the left and the right of those wraithguards, also the best gloves in the game. Both unique both main quest related.

Code:

Ebony Mail - ebon_plate_cuirass_unique

Best armor in game, unique item.

Code:

Daedric Tower Shield - daedric_towershield

Best shield in game

Code:

Daedric Left Pauldron - daedric_pauldron_left
Daedric Right Pauldron - daedric_pauldron_right

Best pauldrons in game
(also almost unique items

(there are two sets of those in the entire game))

Code:

Daedric Greaves - daedric_greaves

Best greaves in the game.

Code:

Daedric Face of God - daedric_god_helm
Daedric Face of Inspiration - daedric_fountain_helm
Daedric Face of Terror - daedric_terrifying_helm

Best helmets in the game (choose either one for appearance), all of them are unique items.

Code:

Redas Robe of Deeds - Extravagant_Robe_01_Red

Best robe in the game (basically because of feather..

), unique item.

Code:

Necromancer's Amulet - necromancers_amulet_uniq

Best amulet in the game, unique item.

In addition to that, you can also wear and enchant trousers, shirt, belt, another ring and I think another form of robe (check my inventory..

) - with strength + which makes them the best items of their kind in game. (Might need to get a certain quality level of them - doublecheck that on your own.

) To do that you need a grand soul gem with a grand soul (Golden saint, basically - you can summon those) captured in it (Soultrap, then kill Golden saint), and the fortify strength spell learned - then you can read up on enchanting items. Enchant for 1-max potential, this gives you the highest max - then unequip and reequip until you are satisfied with the value..

Fortifying strength is the way to go, because it also allows you to carry more. Which you kind of would want to. At least initially.

All daedric items above also can be enchanted. In fact they are chosen as "best" because they can carry "the most" enchantments.

That leaves magic - which then only tops out at 100 - which in the base game you could raise to 1000000/100 (and more) with a two item interaction - but that apparently is fixed in OpenMW - so you might have to console cheat it. Or choose different equipment.

Apart from that you'll also need a few repair hammers:

Code:

GrandMaster's Armorer's Hammer - repair_grandmaster_01

and a few magic potions -

Code:

Exclusive Restore Magicka - p_restore_magicka_e

and a few lockpicks -

Code:

Grandmaster's Pick - pick_grandmaster

and that should be it.

Have fun.

(Use a usb keyboard with the switch docked to enter them. Tilde key (~) to bring up the console in game. Afair. (Havent tested it so far, but others in here have confirmed that it works.

))

In the base game, you could get certain houses (Balmora Hlaalu House (the one with the corps on the ground level), related to an early optional quest) - in which everything you would put into a box or container would be saved. In all other boxes, it would reset after a few in game days. So getting access to house Hlaalu in Balmora (lockpicks - f.e. but dont get caught.

) was also always part of "setting up" in Morrowind in the base game.

Not sure if OpenMW has made it so all item storages are persistent.

Get house Hlaalu though..

Hello everyone,
I managed to launch it, in fact steam does not erase the folder Data files when he uninstalls the game so when I reinstall it there was residual mod that bugger the game. So the solution erase the data files folder and install the game. Thanks again for your help

notimp · Jun 10, 2019

One more thing. Permanently enchant a shirt with +50 Light in max foot possible - around you at one point as well. It gets tiring to always wait till the day - when it gets dark again.

(Still needs best soulgem with best soul captured in it to make it permanent. See previous posting.)

Null-project · Jun 10, 2019

Thank you, this is the good shit. In your opinion, could the vita handle this?

fgsfds · Jun 10, 2019

Not likely. You could probably make it launch, but there probably isn't enough memory for it to actually run.

terrabyte25 · Jun 10, 2019

I would argue that 1024 mb RAM could indeed handle it. There are many, many Android phones around that quantity and they still seem to run OpenMW fairly fine (except for performance, around 20 fps)

yondertoy · Jun 10, 2019

Ok, finally it works on a FAT32 Sd with a nsp hbmenu ! The loading is a little shorter.
I'm so happy !
Thank you so much !

But Vita has only 512 MB of RAM, no?

fgsfds · Jun 10, 2019

Yes. In practice you get even less.

zivilai · Jun 10, 2019

Hey bro

do you know how to install the Russian language on this version of the game? When I try to transfer files with Russian from my steam folder to switch, the letters in the game change to hieroglyphs.
Sry for my bad english)

fgsfds · Jun 10, 2019

Either install OpenMW on PC and copy your openmw.cfg to config/ and change the data line in it to `data="./data/Data Files"` or try changing `encoding` to `win1251` in config/openmw.cfg.

In OpenMW.cfg, change

Code:

encoding=win1252

to

Code:

encoding=win1251

mathew77 · Jun 11, 2019

Btw, is there an option to disable touchscreen input as a mouse view, sorry for bothering?

fgsfds · Jun 11, 2019

Not really. I actually thought it already doesn't affect the camera.

I'll make a PR to fix this in a bit.

Not sure if OpenMW has made it so all item storages are persistent. Get house Hlaalu though..

From what I remember, the best items in the game were the ones with the highest enchantment values. If your running a mana regen mod which I always would, just enchanting everything with either fortify Intelligence/destruction would let you accumulate enough mana and skill to make spells like

100% weakness to fire, fire damage 100pts in 50feet
100% weakness to shock, shock damage 100pts in 50feet
100% weakness to frost, frost damage 100pts in 50feet
as a single spell.

Massing hordes of NPCS and creatures together just to be blown up is ultimately hilarious. Who needs melee weapons

. The alternative to a mana regen mod was chugging down many potions, but that is much more irksome.

notimp · Jun 11, 2019

I think you are right.

An item combination from bloodmoon and tribunal made it possible in the original game to temporary increase your mana, then increase it even more, then remove one of the buffs, making the other one permanent - so you could stack up base mana to whatever figure you wanted.

This probably made me not look into the actual damage values for stacked weaknesses, since ypu already could do spells that would cost more than 100 mana per cast. Including of course area effects.

I also was pretty maticulous over which NPCs I killed (King Helseth and Vivec where the only innocent ones I had die on my permanent playthrough - with pretty much all of the quests finished. And I mean down to random town NPC stuff..

) - which I think is why I might have preferred melee weapons, as the draw of spells was always area of effect.

Either way you are pretty much invincible at that armor rating and over 60 (?)% reflect and over 100% magic resistance, and Helseths ring for health regeneration - and Sunder giving you a strength plus.

I think I might have gone that way (strength +) just for increased movement speed (always a fraction of your encumbrance level as well..

) alone, because I might have figuered that this would be most beneficial over all.

But I havent played with stacked weaknesses to elements in spells. So back to the first sentence.I think you are right.

What a game this was at its time..
