OpenMW (Morrowind) for Android and ChromeOS with improved controls and enhanced OMWFX shaders
This project is an OpenMW Android and ChromeOS port for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It is based on the CaveBros openmw-android project and extends it with OpenMW 0.51, additional Android/ChromeOS improvements and enhanced post-processing shaders.
This is not meant to be the umpteenth OpenMW port; rather, this fork is about continuing the clear and simple launcher user interface of the CaveBros port, combined with a more up-to-date OpenMW base and more modern shaders.
The goal is a clean, controller-friendly Morrowind experience on Android handhelds, tablets and ChromeOS while staying close to the upstream OpenMW engine.
- ⚙️ OpenMW 0.51.0 Final engine integrated into the Android port
- 📱 Optimized for Android handhelds, tablets, TV devices and ChromeOS
- 🎮 Improved gamepad, touch, keyboard and physical mouse support
- 🖥️ Extended launcher with direct access to gameplay, visual, shadow, interface and engine settings
- 📐 Configurable resolution, UI scaling, framerate and performance options
- 🌑 Android-compatible dynamic shadows with selectable quality and distance presets
- 🎨 Four shader presets: Original, Modified, Zesterer and OMWFX
- ✨ Enhanced OMWFX post-processing with WetWorld, RainLens, Godrays, Bloom and Lens Flare
- 🧩 Support for mods, custom data files, shader presets and environment flags
- 🔧 Android-specific fixes for GLES2/GL4ES, post-processing and depth handling
The project includes an enhanced OMWFX shader option based on the OpenMW post-processing framework and the community OMWFX Shaders collection.
The bundled preset adds a more modern visual presentation while remaining optional, including the project's additional Lens Flare effect.
