What if you could play the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind with your friends, complete with all the mods you’ve grown to love over the years like Tamriel Rebuilt? That’s the reality that TES3MP promises, a modification of the OpenMW engine rewrite that allows you to play the game with other players! Here’s a small quote from the author, Koncord, about what is currently possible and where the project is going! “Player movements and cell changes are very well synchronized. You can go anywhere on Vvardenfell and meet up with other players correctly. You can even load up Tamriel Rebuilt, give yourself a massive Acrobatics skill using the console, jump across the entire width of Morrowind a few times and meet up with a player doing the same. Player equipment, stats, combat and spell casting are also well-synchronized. Player stats, inventories and spellbooks are saved to and loaded from the server. Picking up or dropping items in the world makes them appear and disappear correctly for other players, including in containers, as does spawning and deleting objects via the console, and their state will get saved to the server and then loaded for new arrivals. Opening, closing, unlocking and locking doors is synchronized and their changing states are saved to the server. Using certain buttons and levers – like the ones at Ghostgate, Dwemer ruins or Sotha Sil's Clockwork City – is also synchronized, although their state is not yet saved to the server. However, other important aspects of the game are not yet synchronized, saved or loaded, including NPCs, time, weather, quest states, dialogue topics, bounties, faction membership, and the vast majority of ingame scripts.” This just goes to show, TES3 modding is just as exciting as it ever was even nearly 15 years after release. I encourage you all to dive in and try this out and submit your feedback. You can download TES3MP for Windows over here. The project has an official github and subreddit for you to follow.
