    Just here to let anyone about to attempt to install Arktwend OpenMW from January 2025. I first attempted to install on OpenMW .49 (latest build at present) to no avail. I followed both the description instructions and the clarified instructions on Epsilon Programmer's post from 13th March 2022 to the letter, and yea it absolutely works, but not on .49. instead I installed the previous version I used openmwnightly.48 and it's running perfectly. 

    Only thing that confused me beyond that, is that no Arktwend.esm appeared in my mod list. So I unchecked all of the plugins including the original game and DLC's and it worked.

    Voilá!


    Update: New issue, I can't seem to get weapon sheathing to work the same way in Arktwend. Has anyone found a workaround for this? Thanks.

    IT WORKS! IT WORKS!

    First off, I run Openmw on a Linux machine (Xubuntu 20.04)

    To all people having trouble installing this port bear some things in mind before installiing it.

    1) Back up your original openmw.cfg file.
    2) Extract the zip file
    3) Create a folder for your Arktwend Install. You can call it Arktwend_Install if you please.
    4) Next, paste the following folder into your Arktwend install folder= Arktwend

    5) Now, something tricky because OpenMW is a capricious beast

    You may see a Data Files folder inside the Arktwend folder. Well... you have to place the following folders into the Arkwend folder (which is inside your Arktwend Install folder by now)= Extras, Icons, Meshes, Music, Sound, Splash, Textures, Video and the Arktwend_English.esm file

    This is how it must be done. If the aforementioned content remains in the Data Files folder, OpenMW WILL NOT read those files. Simple as it is.

    6) You may have noticed an openmw.cfg file lying there when you extracted the zip file. Well, open it and edit it.


    What you have to do here is to go to the bottom of that cfg file and edit the following entries: data="/Morrowind/Data Files" and data="/Arktwend/Data Files"

    data="/Morrowind/Data Files"" is the path where your Morrowind files are located IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED MORROWIND with the OpenMW wizard. I don't have the foggest idea where they might be placed on a Windows machine, but on Linux you will find them in the following path home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/openmw/basedata.

    Tip for Linux users: you have to activate the option 'show hidden files' in the file browser. Otherwise, you won't see the .local folder.

    Once you have located the folder 'basedata', copy the path and paste it onto "/Arktwend/Data Files".
    In my case was something like this: data="/home/MYUSERNAME/.local/share/openmw/basedata/"

    7) data="/Arktwend/Data Files". This is the path where your Arkwend_Install will be  located.

    In my case it was:   data="/home/MYUSERNAME/Games/Aarktwend_Install/Arktwend/"

    Once you have edited both entries, save and close the cfg file.

    8) BEAR IN MIND we are dealing with two cfg files. The original one generated by the OpenMW wizard AND the one you extracted from the zip file and just have edited.

    Locate the original cfg file (openmw.cfg) and replace it with the one you edited to run Arktwend.

    On Linux, you will, find the original openmw.cfg file in the following path: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/openmw/

    9) Enjoy

    10) PRAISE SITHIS!!!

      Hello, which version of OpenMW did you use? And what kind of Morrowind? I press "play" but nothing happens. The process seems to start and then closes. Nothing even showes on screen.
      I'm using OpenMW 47 and tried gog and goty from cd... same results...
      UPD somehow tribunal.esm and bloodmoon.esm(and others) did show under arktwend_english.esm. Toggling morrowind.esm and arktwend back removed them but still nothing...

      I have to say, after being completely at a loss, with teh original post, this one SAVED IT! Everything eventually works. Step by step and all, Thank you so much!
  3. Do you need either of these installed first before you install the OpenMW port:
    Arktwend English at Morrowind Nexus - mods and community (nexusmods.com)
    TAO - The Arktwend Overhaul at Morrowind Nexus - mods and community (nexusmods.com)

    *Edit: Another question... I read the readme and it says that this will overwrite Morrowind and is also incompatible with most mods?? Why wasn't this made as an addon landmass mod to the Morrowind game, with a boat service you can take to Arktwend instead?

      The installation description does not say anything about the need to download other mods. This mod contains all the necessary files because it is impossible to run the installation program (EXE-file) for example on Android.

      Arktwend is another game on the engine from Morrowind.

      Do you have to start a new game? Is it possible to move the landmass so it's compatible with morrowind?

      It's a different game. There's no point in combining the two.

    Hey, for anyone who gets crash on start or cannot launch this after following the instructions - make sure you replace openmw.cfg in your Documents/My Games/OpenMW folder, not the OpenMW install folder.

    So this seems near impossible to install? After screwing around with it for over 2 hours, I haven't been able to get the game to even launch. Not once. 

    Seems to me, buggy or not, people should steer clear of this OpenMW conversion in favor of the original mods (Arktwend + English Patch). Unfortunately, this just doesn't seem to work, or at least not without significant amounts of work.

      To install the original mod (Arktwend + English Patch), you must:
      - install the German version.
      - install the English version.
      - install the patch.

      Run the installation of "ArktwendInstall_2.0.0_DE.exe" on Android is not possible.
      For this reason, the author put in the archive ready-made folder with the game with all the fixes.

      The author removed German letters from the file names and corrected many errors in the game.
      The author has not given a description of the installation procedure for OpenMW.
      Ask the OpenMW developers for help or follow the instructions from EpsilonProgrammer.
      DISCORD: https://discord.gg/zVjPCdyMxg

      This version works on Windows with MGE and on OpenMW.

    I am having trouble with the installation as I do not understand what is meant by "Replace "data=" lines in the end of file by path to your Morrowind installation and unpacked Arktwend directory:
    data="/[path_to_Morrowind]/Data Files"
    data="/[path_to_Arktwend]/Arktwend/Data Files"

    Please help!

      It's referring to the openmw.cfg file

      data="/[path_to_Morrowind]/Data Files"  Where the basedata folder is located. You or the OpenMW wizard installed the Morrowind game files here.
      Open a file browser, locate the basedata folder, copy the path and paste it between the comas:
      data="/the path in your machine"

      data="/[path_to_Arktwend]/Arktwend/Data Files" This is where you extracted the Arktwend OpenMW port zip file content.
      IMPORTANT NOTICE: do not leave the Arktwend game mod files in the Data Files folder. OpenMW won't read them.
      Just place the Extras, Icons, Meshes, Music, Sound, Splash, Textures, and Video folders and the Arktwend_English.esm into the 'Arktwend' folder.
      Copy yhe path and paste it onto the previous entry.
      data="the path where you extracted the Arktwend mod files"

      SAVE! and close the cfg file.

      Now, you have to copy the openmw.cfg you edited and replace the original cfg file.
