MWINIIMPORT(6)

🌸 MWINIIMPORT 🌸

okay bestie, gather round, because we're reading the mwiniimport page from the OpenMW Commands manual (that's section 6 btw, iykyk) and it's literally the glow-up pipeline for your config files 💅

💖 NAME 💖

mwiniimport — it imports the ini variables from Morrowind over to OpenMW. that's it. that's the job. and it ate. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the vibe check on the syntax, bestie, write it exactly like this:

mwiniimporter <options> inifile configfile

and here's every single allowed option, no cap, i'm not skipping a single one because we don't do that here 🫶

👑 Allowed options 👑

• -h, --help — produces the help message. your lil emergency cheat sheet when you forget everything (me fr) 😭
• -v, --verbose — verbose output, aka it tells you everything it's doing, main character narration energy 🗣️
• -i, --ini arg — the morrowind.ini file. yes, the Morrowind one, the origin story 💜
• -c, --cfg arg — the openmw.cfg file 📄
• -o, --output arg — the openmw.cfg file (yes bestie, same name, that's just how it is, don't come for me) 📄✨
• -g, --game-files — imports esm and esp files 🎮
• -A, --no-archives — disables bsa archives import. no archives today, we're on a diet 🚫📦
• -e, --encoding arg (=win1252) — character encoding used in OpenMW game messages. here are your choices, pick your fighter:
  • win1250 — Central and Eastern European, like Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian (Latin script), Romanian and Albanian languages 🌍
  • win1251 — Cyrillic alphabet, like Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian Cyrillic and other languages 🔤
  • win1252 — Western European (Latin) alphabet, and it's the one used by default, so if you don't say anything this is what you get 💅

ngl, the default win1252 is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, so if your messages are looking cursed and unreadable, check your -e before you panic 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this lil icon was brought to you by OpenMW, dated October 2013, and it remains iconic to this day. mwah 💋✨🎀
