💖 OPENMW-ESSIMPORTER 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to openmw-essimporter(1) — part of the User Commands crew, and literally the glow-up machine that takes your crusty old Morrowind saves and turns them into shiny OpenMW ones. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

openmw-essimporter — convert Morrowind save files to OpenMW save files.

it's giving save file transmutation. periodt. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe. the syntax goes like this, and you're gonna wanna screenshot this:

openmw-essimporter <options> infile.ess outfile.omwsave

and these are the allowed options, bestie — every single one, no skips:

  • -h, --help — produce help message. the classic. she just tells you what's up. 💅
  • -m, --mwsave arg — morrowind .ess save file. your origin story file, the one you're importing from. 🎀
  • -o, --output arg — output file (.omwsave). the glow-up destination. this is where your new save lands. 👑
  • -c, --compare — compare two .ess files. not me running a vibe check on two saves side by side 🙈
  • --encoding arg (=win1252) — encoding of the save file. and yeah, the default is win1252, she's set unless you say otherwise. 🌸
lowkey important: -m and -o both want an arg, so don't just leave them hanging with nothing. 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
