The Morrowind Script Extender adds new functionality to the scripting language of Morrowind, allowing for new features to be implemented into the game. This release marks a complete rewrite of how MWSE accomplished this, while still retaining (and adding to) the functionality of the extension. The result is a cleaner, faster, and fixed project.
This new version has been tested by volunteers at the Morrowind Modding Community Discord. Please report bugs to NullCascade on Discord, or at GitHub.
Visit the documentation over at mwse.github.io/MWSE for a list of functions and a complete changelog.
