Hey all. I posted OpenMW-Web here back around 1.1, when it was mostly "OpenMW running in a browser tab." It still is, nothing to install, but there's a lot more around it now.
The biggest addition is an admin dashboard for hosting your own server, and for this sub the mod manager is probably the interesting part. You upload a .zip or .7z, tick which parts to install, and drag the load order. It shows you which mod overwrites which, and it flags a missing master before you load into a black screen. Tamriel Rebuilt has its own setup step that checks you've got the release it expects. The rest of the dashboard covers accounts with their characters and saves, who's online, server load, kicks and bans, logs, and updates with one click. No config files.
Multiplayer has also moved out of the experimental flag and into alpha, so a group can play one load order together in a shared world that runs on the server. The last few releases fixed a lot (teleporting enemies, rubber-banding, spells not landing for everyone, restarts kicking people), and 1.6.2 stops new areas freezing while they load.
It's alpha, so there are bugs, and mod compatibility is the part I know least about. If you want to help:
