Rustwind

Rust survival inside Morrowind - played on TES3MP, the open-source multiplayer version of OpenMW, using your own Morrowind GotY. Rust's items, recipes and icons are read from your own Rust install (Rust never launches).

What you get

• Morrowind as it is: every Morrowind item, stat, spell, skill and level-up works as in the original.
• Rust metabolism: hunger, thirst and cold drain your Health and Fatigue. Morrowind food and drink feed you; Rust food and medical items use Rust's own values. Solstheim and nights are cold; Fire Shield, Resist Frost, campfires and furs warm you.
• Gather from Morrowind's real trees and rocks: wood, stone, metal ore, sulfur ore. Hatchets and pickaxes gather far more than your hands.
• Craft with Rust's own blueprints (/craft): tools, bows, crossbows, revolver, semi-auto rifle, AK, ammo, armour, medical items, explosives. Workbenches 1-3.
• Loot: Morrowind barrels, crates and chests hold Rust loot; Dwemer and tomb chests hold military crates.
• Hunt Morrowind creatures for meat, leather, fat and bone. Furnaces smelt ore, campfires cook.
• Recycler in towns: Rust items back to half their parts; Morrowind gear to metal, bone and leather.
• Bases (/build, /upgrade): Twig, Wood, Stone and Sheet Metal pieces made of Morrowind architecture, Tool Cupboard building privilege, doors only your group can open.
• Raiding: plant C4, satchel charges or beancans on enemy walls and doors.
• Rust rules PvP: anyone can attack and loot anyone, and you drop a backpack on death. Towns are safe zones. The host can switch to opt-in PvP (/rwmode opt_in, players type /pvp on).
• Two starts: classic Seyda Neen, or wake on a Bitter Coast beach with a rock and a torch.
• Solo or online: press Play to host for up to 16 players; friends press Join.

Needs

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GotY and Rust, installed.

Known limits (0.1)

Rust items use Morrowind 3D models (names, icons, stats and recipes are Rust's). Guns fire as crossbow-type Marksman weapons. Safe zones and PvP-off protection are enforced on the kill: the victim keeps everything and the attacker is struck down. Friends outside your home network need your router's UPnP on.
