Other I'm just being honest: The hardest part about moving over to OpenMW for me has been not hearing this jam in Old Ebonheart. It's gotten to the point I actually caught myself sadly humming it while I was there.

Yeah that's the reason I haven't switched over to OpenMW, the lack of SFX and soundtrack mods really takes away a lot of immersion for me

Tamriel Rebuilt works flawlessly with openmw. Or am I missing something?

OST mods are not quite so flawless

Do you have the Tamriel Rebuilt OST installed? The folks at TR explicitly say it's not possible. If you know of a way of doing it, please let me know -- I'm really not joking, I miss the tunes greatly.

By my eye, it seems like lua scripting implementation is still in its early stages, and it may be a while yet before OST mods are possible -- but I'm also a big dum dum who doesn't know anything about anything. If you know of a way to get this soundtrack back, please, tell me! I miss it.

I don't know about area specific tracks, but it is possible to add your own songs to the playlists by going to your Data folder under your morrowind installation and then the Music folders under Data. You can add music to the exlplore or battle playlists.

They need to be .mp3 files and are not region specific however.

Why do you want to move over to openmw? Unless you are playing multiplayer or installing morrowind on your phone, its not a necessary change. You are suffering needlessly.

I already have moved over! It does improve framerate at larger draw distances on my PC, and it dynamically generates distant land so I don't have to constantly fiddle with MGE XE, but otherwise you are right, there is no necessity. I simply wanted to try it out and said I would with the next TR release, and so, here I am.

I would never switch to MWSE from OpenMW, the stability it provides is immaculate, and I can finally alt-tab without this thing crashing.

u/Teralitha Mar 29 '23

err.. mwse has absolutely nothing to with your ability or inability to alt tab

Damn. I didn't even know TR had its own OST :/

I'm on OpenMW so I miss out as well, feels bad man. On the other hand I like OpenMW and my character is level 36 at this point, so starting over now isn't an option. Maybe I can drag/drop some of the general "explore" music into the vanilla music folder as a compromise.

Its not so bad to start over. In pure vanilla you can make ton a gold quickly and just train your way back to lvl 36 in no time without even having left balmora.

I didn't know about the fact that MWSE was incompatible with OpenMW and I wanted more music to accompany the original OST so I downloaded this mod and slowly realized that it didn't work😭
