OpenMW 0. 49 or newer is required!

A changelog is available in the CHANGELOG.md file.

Crash When Opening the Settings Page

With some Linux distributions (e.g. Arch Linux), accessing this mod's settings page may crash OpenMW.

This is a known engine bug, which should not happen with OpenMW official builds, and which has been fixed in the version 0. 51.

Features

• []Your level and attributes grow as your skills grow

  []No more level up menu and manual attribute increases, it just happens seamlessly now[/]

  []Customizable number of class skills required to level up[/]

[]Each skill impacts the growth of multiple attributes, at different proportions

• []Support custom skills added by the Skill Framework mod[/]

[]Configurable attribute growth

• []Set the growth speed (slow by default)[/]

  []Set the portion of your starting attributes that are grown by your starting skill levels (50% of starting attributes by default)[/]

  []Major and Minor skills have more impact on attribute growth than Misc skills (customizable)[/]

[]Uncap all or specific attributes beyond 100 (no cap by default)

• []Support attributes changed by the Bitter Cup artifact[/]

[]Configurable maximum health

• []Configurable base and per-level HP gains[/]

  []State-based HP: your maximum health is dynamically affected by the related attribute buffs and debuffs (off by default)[/]

[]Enriched character stats window with NCG's player level progress, attribute progress, modifiers, and other relevant info thanks to the Stats Window Extender mod[/]

[]In-game messages log window that shows the last NCG messages[/]

[]Fixed and improved attribute descriptions (base game and Starwind)[/]

[]Can be updated mid-game[/]

[]Can be installed mid-game, but the attribute growth will be based on the current attribute and skill values[/]

Context

This mod's first version is an extract of NCGDMW Lua Edition, on which I did many improvements, and added many features.

The player levelling and automatic attribute growth features have been extracted from NCGDMW to create this mod.

The skill features have been extracted to another mod: Skill Evolution.

The goals are:

• []Split the huge Lua code into 2 different mods, to ease the maintenance[/]

  []Improve the modularity of mod setups[/]
