The record

Purpose: OpenMW-CS is an editor that allows users to edit or create mods or original games.
Intended users: The user manual is intended as both an introduction and a reference for the application, including for people familiar with Morrowind modding.
Editing tools: The manual covers file, world, mechanics, character, and asset tables, plus record filters and a cell view.
Original games: The FAQ says OpenMW-CS can be used to create entirely new games, and OpenMW can run them.
Required game files: Playing Morrowind requires a legally owned copy because OpenMW does not include game content or assets; playing original games created with OpenMW-CS does not require Morrowind.
Platforms: The project lists Windows, macOS, and Linux as its primary target platforms.
Distribution: The downloads page lists official releases for Windows, macOS, and Linux and names OpenMW 0.51.0 as the latest release.
Distribution channels: The downloads page also lists Windows Chocolatey, Linux distribution repositories, and a Flatpak package from Flathub.
Development status: The user manual warns that OpenMW-CS is still in development and that the manual does not cover its shortcomings.
Support: The FAQ directs users with problems using compatible mods to Discord, IRC, or the forums for help.
Compatibility limit: Mods that require MWSE, MGE XE, or MCP are incompatible with OpenMW because those tools modify the original Morrowind executable.
Project origin: The OpenMW project was started in 2008 by Nicolay Korslund.
License: The FAQ says OpenMW source code is released under the GNU General Public License version 3.
Founded: 2008
Price from: Free
