+
+
+Sounds
+******
+
+Sounds are Sound Files wrapped by OpenMW, allowing you to adjust how they behave
+once they are played in-game. They are used for many audio events including
+spells, NPCs commenting, environment ambients, doors, UI events, when moving items
+in the inventory, and so on.
+
+Volume
+    More is louder, less is quieter. Maximum is 255.
+Min Range
+    When the player is within Min Range distance from the Sound, the Volume will
+    always be at its maximum defined value.
+Max Range
+    When the player is beyond Max Range distance from the Sound, the volume will
+    fade to 0.
+Sound File
+    Source sound file on the hard-drive that holds all the actual audio information.
+    All available records are visible in the Sound Files table. 
+
+
+Sound Generators
+****************
+
+Sound generators are a way to play Sounds driven by animation events. Animated
+creatures or NPCs always require to be paired with a corresponding textkeys file.
+This textkeys file defines the extents of each animation, and relevant in this
+case, events and triggers occuring at particular animation frames.
+
+For example, a typical textkey entry intended for a Sound Generator would be
+named `SoundGen: Left` and be hand placed by an animator whenever the left leg
+of the creature touches the ground. In OpenMW-CS, the appropriate Sound
+Generator of an appropriate type would then be connected to the animated creature.
+In this case the type would be `Left Foot`. Once in-game, OpenMW will play the
+sound whenever its textkeys occurs in the currently playing animation.
+
+Creature
+    Which creature uses this effect.
+Sound
+    Which record of the Sound type is used as the audio source
+Sound Generator Type
+    Type of the sound generator that is matched to corresponding textkeys.

+    * Roar
+    * Scream
+    * Swim Left
+    * Swim Right

+    
+Meshes
+******
+
+Meshes are 3D assets that need to be assigned to objects to render them in the 
+game world. Entries in this table are based on contents of ``data/meshes`` 
+folder and cannot be edited from OpenMW-CS.  
+
+
+Icons
+*****
+
+Icons are images used in the user interface to represent inventory items, 
+spells, and attributes. They can be assigned to relevant records through other 
+dialogues in the editor. Entries in this table are based on contents of 
+``data/icons`` folder and cannot be edited from OpenMW-CS.  
+ 
+
+Music Files
+***********
+
+Music is played in the background during the game and at special events such as 
+intro, death, or level up. Entries in this table are based on contents of 
+``data/music`` folder and cannot be edited from OpenMW-CS.  
+
+
+Sound Files

+
+Sound files are the source audio files on the hard-drive and are used by other
+records related to sound. Entries in this table are based on contents of
+``data/sounds`` folder and cannot be edited from OpenMW-CS. 
+
+
+Textures
+********
+
+Textures are images used by 3D objects, particle effects, weather system, user 
+interface and more. Definitions which mesh uses which texture are included in 
+the mesh files and cannot be assigned through the editor. To use a texture to 
+paint the terrain, a separate entry is needed in the Land Textures table. 
+Entries in this table are based on contents of ``data/textures`` folder and

+Characters Tables
+#################
+
+These tables deal with records that make up the player and NPCs. Together we'll
+refer to them as characters.
+
+
+Skills
+******
+
+Characters in OpenMW can perform various actions and skills define how successful
+a character is in performing these actions. The skills themselves are hardcoded
+and cannot be added through the editor but can have some of their parameters
+adjusted.
+
+Attribute
+    Each skill is governed by an attribute. The value of the attribute will
+    contribute or hinder your success in using a skill.
+    
+Specialization
+    A skill can belong to combat, magic, or stealth category. If the player
+    specializes in the same category, they get a +5 starting bonus to the skill.
+    
+Use Value 1, 2, 3, 4
+    Use Values are the amount of experience points the player will be awarded 
+    for successful use of this skill. Skills can have one or multiple in-game 
+    actions associated with them and each action is tied to one of the Use Values. 
+    For example, Block skill has Use Value 1 = 2,5. This means that on each 
+    successful blocked attack, the player's block skill will increase by 2,5 
+    experience points. Athletics have Use Value 1 = 0,02, and Use Value 2 = 0,03. 
+    For each second of running the player's athletics skill will be raised by 0,02 
+    experience points, while for each second of swimming by 0,03 points. Note that not 
+    all of the skills use all of the Use Values and OpenMW-CS currently doesn't tell 
+    what action a skill's Use Value is associated with.
+    
+Description
+    Flavour text that appears in the character information window.
+
+
+Classes
+*******
+
+All characters in OpenMW need to be of a certain class. This table list existing
+classes and allows you to create, delete or modify them.
+
+Name
+    How this class is called.
+    
+Attribute 1 and 2
+    Characters of this class receive a +10 starting bonus on the two chosen
+    atributes.
+    
+Specialization
+    Characters can specialize in combat, magic, or stealth. Each skill that
+    belongs to the chosen specialization receives a +5 starting bonus and is
+    easier to train.
+    
+Major Skill 1 to 5
+    Training these skills contributes to the player leveling up. Each of these
+    skills receives a +25 starting bonus and is easier to train.
+    
+Minor Skill 1 to 5
+    Training these skills contributes to the player leveling up. Each of these
+    skills receives a +10 starting bonus and is easier to train.
+         
+Playable
+    When enabled, the player can choose to play as this class at character creation.
+    If disabled, only NPCs can be of this class.
+    
+Description
+    Flavour text that appears in the character information window.
+
+
+Faction
+*******
+
+Characters in OpenMW can belong to different factions that represent interest
+groups within the game's society. The most obvious example of factions are
+guilds which the player can join, perform quests for and rise through its ranks.
+Membership in factions can be a good source of interesting situations and quests.
+If nothing else, membership affects NPC disposition towards the player.
+
+Name
+    How this faction is called.
+    
+Attribute 1 and 2
+    Two attributes valued by the faction and required to rise through its ranks.
+    
+Hidden
+    When enabled, the player's membership in this faction will not be displayed
+    in the character window.
+    
+Skill 1 to 7
+    Skills valued by the faction and required to rise through its ranks. Not all
+    of the skill slots need to be filled.
+    
+Reactions
+    Change of NPC disposition towards the player when joining this faction.
+    Disposition change depends on which factions the NPCs belong to.
+    
+Ranks
+    Positions in the hierarchy of this faction. Every rank has a requirement in
+    attributes and skills before the player is promoted. Every rank gives the
+    player an NPC disposition bonus within the faction.
+
+
+Races
+*****
+
+All characters in OpenMW need to be of a certain race. This table list existing
+races and allows you to create, delete or modify them. After a race is created,
+it can be assigned to an NPC in the objects table. Race affects character's
+starting attributes and skill bonuses, appearance, and voice lines. In addition,
+a race assigned to the player can affect NPC disposition, quests, dialogues and
+other things.
+
+Name
+    How this race is called.
+
+Description
+    Flavour text that appears in the character information window.
+
+Playable

+    movement styles. In addition, beast races can't wear closed helmets
+    or boots.
+

+    of this race taller. Values below 1.0 will make them shorter. Applies to females.
+
+
+Birthsigns
+**********
+
+Birthsigns permanently modify player's attributes, skills, or other abilities.
+The player can have a single birthsign which is usually picked during character creation.
+Modifications to the player are done through one or more spells added
+to a birthsign. Spells with constant effects modify skills and attributes.
+Spells that are cast are given to the player in the form of powers.
+
+Name
+    Name of the birthsign that will be displayed in the interface.
+

+armor, pauldrons, chestpiece, helmets, wearables, etc.
+
+
+Topics
+******
+
+Topics are, in a broader meaning, dialogue triggers. They can take the form of
+clickable keywords in the dialogue, combat events, persuasion events, and other.
+What response they produce and under what conditions is then defined by topic infos.
+A single topic can be used by unlimited number of topic infos. There are four
+different types of topics.
+
+Greeting 0 to 9
+    Initial text that appears in the dialogue window when talking to an NPC. Hardcoded.

+    * Intruder
+    * Thief - When an NPC detects the player steal something.
+    
+
+Topic Infos
+***********
+
+Topic infos take topics as their triggers and define responses. Through their
+many parameters they can be assigned to one or more NPCs. Important to note is
+that each topic info can take a combination of parameters to accurately define
+which NPCs will produce a particular response. These parameters are as follow.

+the in-game journal.
+
+
+Journal Infos
+*************
+
+Journal infos are stages of a particular quest. Entries appear in the player's

+
+
+Scripts
+*******
+
+Scripts are useful to expand the base functionality offered by the engine
+or to create complex quest lines. Entries can be freely added or removed
+through OpenMW-CS. When creating a new script, it can be defined as local
+or global.
+
+
+Start Scripts
+*************
+
+A list of scripts that are automatically started as global scripts on game startup.
+The script ``main`` is an exception, because it will be automatically started
+even without being in the start script list.
+
+
+Global Variables
+****************
+
+Global variables are needed to keep track of the the game's state. They can be 
+accessed from anywhere in the game (in contrast to local variables) and can be 
+altered at runtime (in contrast to GMST records). Some example of global 
+variables are current day, month and year, rats killed, player's crime penalty, 
+is player a werewolf, is player a vampire, and so on.
+
+
+Game Settings (GMST)
+********************
+
+GMST are variables needed throughout the game. They can be either a float,
+integer, boolean, or string. Float and integer variables affect all sorts of
+behaviours of the game. String entries are the text that appears in the
+user interface, dialogues, tooltips, buttons and so on. GMST records cannot
+be altered at runtime.
+
+
+Spells
+******
+
+Spells are combinations of magic effects with additional properties and are used 
+in different ways depending on their type. Some spells are the usual abracadabra 
+that characters cast. Other spells define immunities, diseases, modify 
+attributes, or give special abilities. Entries in this table can be freely 
+added, edited, or removed through the editor.
+
+Name
+    Name of the spell that will appear in the user interface.
+   
+Spell Type
+    * Ability - Constant effect which does not need to be cast. Commonly used for racial or birthsign bonuses to attributes and skills.
+    * Blight - Can be contracted in-game and treated with blight disease cures (common disease cures will not work). Applies a constant effect to the recepient. 
+    * Curse
+    * Disease - Can be contracted in-game and treated with common disease cures. Applies a constant effect to the recepient. 
+    * Power - May be cast once per day at no magicka cost. Usually a racial or birthsign bonus.
+    * Spell - Can be cast and costs magicka. The chance to successfully cast a spell depends on the caster's skill.
+  
+Cost
+    The amount of magicka spent when casting this spell.
+
+Auto Calc
+    Automatically calculate the spell's magicka cost.
+
+Starter Spell
+    Starting spells are added to the player on character creation when certain 
+    criteria are fulfilled. The player must be able to cast spells, there is a 
+    certain chance for that spell to be added, and there is a maximum number
+    of starter spells the player can have.
+
+
+Always Succeeds
+    When enabled, it will ensure this spell will always be cast regardless of
+    the caster's skill.
+
+Effects
+    A table containing magic effects of this spell and their properties.
+    New entries can be added and removed through the right click menu.
+
+
+Enchantments
+************
+
+Enchantments are a way for magic effects to be assigned to in-game items.
+Each enchantment can hold multiple magic effects along with other properties.
+Entries can be freely added or removed through the editor.
+
+Enchantment Type
+    The way to use this enchantment.
+    * Cast once - the enchantment is cast like a regular spell and afterwards the item is gone. Used to make scrolls. 
+    * Constant effect - the effects of the enchantment will always apply as long as the enchanted item is equiped.
+    * When Strikes - the effect will apply to whatever is hit by the weapon with the enchantment.
+    * When Used - the enchantment is cast like a regular spell. Instead of spending character's magicka, it uses the item's available charges.
+
+Cost
+    How many points from the available charges are spent each time the
+    enchantment is used. In-game the cost will also depend on character's
+    enchanting skill.
+
+Charges
+    Total supply of points needed to use the enchantment. When there are
+    less charges than the cost, the enchantment cannot be used and
+    the item needs to be refilled.

+Magic Efects
+************
+
+Magic effects define how in-game entities are affected when using magic.
+They are required in spells, enchantments, and potions. The core gameplay

+World Tables
+############
+
+These are the tables in the World menu category. The contents of the game world 
+can be changed by choosing one of the options in the appropriate menu at the top 
+of the screen.
+
+
+Objects
+*******
+
+This is a library of all the items, triggers, containers, NPCs, etc. in the game.
+There are several kinds of Record Types. Depending on which type a record 
+is, it will need specific information to function. For example, an NPC needs a 
+value attached to its aggression level. A chest, of course, does not. All Record 
+Types contain at least a 3D model or else the player would not see them. Usually 
+they also have a *Name*, which is what the players sees when they hover their 
+crosshair over the object during the game.
+
+Please refer to the :doc:`record-types` chapter for an overview of what each
+object type represents in the game's world.
+
+
+Instances
+*********
+
+An instance is created every time an object is placed into a cell. While the 
+object defines its own fundamental properties, an instance defines how and where 
+this object appears in the world. When the object is modified, all of its 
+instances will be modified as well.
+
+Cell
+    Which cell contains this instance. Is assigned automatically based on the 
+    edit you make in the 3D view.
+
+Original Cell
+    If an object has been moved in-game this field keeps a track of the original 
+    cell as defined through the editor. Is assigned automatically based on the edit 
+    you make in the 3D view. 
+
+Object ID
+    ID of the object from which this instance is created.
+    
+Pos X, Y, Z
+    Position coordinates in 3D space relative to the parent cell.
+
+Rot X, Y, Z
+    Rotation in 3D space.
+
+Scale
+    Size factor applied to this instance. It scales the instance uniformly on 
+    all axes.
+
+Owner
+    NPC the instance belongs to. Picking up the instance by the player is 
+    regarded as stealing.
+
+Soul
+    This field takes the object of a *Creature* type. Option applies only to 
+    soul gems which will contain the creature's soul and allow enchanting. 
+    
+Faction
+    Faction the instance belongs to. Picking up the instance without joining 
+    this faction is regarded as stealing.
+    
+Faction Index
+    The player's required rank in a faction to pick up this instance without it
+    seen as stealing. It allows a reward mechanic where the higher the player
+    is in a faction, the more of its items and resources are freely
+    available for use.
+    
+Charges
+    How many times can this item be used. Applies to lockpicks, probes, and 
+    repair items. Typically used to add a "used" version of the object to the
+    in-game world.
+    
+Enchantment
+    Doesn't appear to do anything for instances. An identical field for Objects 
+    takes an ID of an enchantment.
+    
+Coin Value
+    This works only for instances created from objects with IDs ``gold_001``, 
+    ``gold_005``, ``gold_010``, ``gold_025``, and ``gold_100``. Coin Value tells how 
+    much gold is added to player's inventory when this instance is picked up. The 
+    names and corresponding functionality are hardcoded into the engine.
+    
+    For all other instances this value does nothing and their price when buying 
+    or selling is determined by the Coin Value of their Object.    
+    
+Teleport
+    When enabled, this instance acts as a teleport to other locations in the world.
+    Teleportation occurs when the player activates the instance.
+
+Teleport Cell
+    Destination cell where the player will appear.
+
+Teleport Pos X, Y, Z
+    Location coordinates where the player will appear relative to the 
+    destination cell.
+
+Teleport Rot X, Y, Z
+    Initial orientation of the player after being teleported. 
+
+Lock Level
+    Is there a lock on this instance and how difficult it is to pick.
+    
+Key
+    Which key is needed to unlock the lock on this instance.
+
+Trap
+    What spell will be cast on the player if the trap is triggered. The spell
+    has an on touch magic effect.
+
+Owner Global
+    A global variable that lets you override ownership. This is used in original 
+    Morrowind to make beds rentable.
+
+
+Cells
+*****
+
+Cells are the basic world-building units that together make up the game's world. 
+Each of these basic building blocks is a container for other objects to exist in.
+Dividing an expansive world into smaller units is neccessary to be able to 
+efficiently render and process it. Cells can be one of two types:
+    
+Exterior cells
+    These represent the outside world. They all fit on a grid where cells have 
+    unique coordinates and border one another. Each exterior cell contains a part of 
+    the terrain and together they form a seamless, continuous landmass. Entering and 
+    leaving these cells is as simple as walking beyond their boundary after which we 
+    enter its neighbouring cell. It is also possible to move into another interior 
+    or exterior cell through door objects.
+
+Interior cells
+    These represent enclosed spaces such as houses, dungeons, mines, etc. They 
+    don't have a terrain, instead their whole environment is made from objects. 
+    Interior cells only load when the player is in them. Entering and leaving these 
+    cells is possible through door objects or teleportation abilities.
+
+The Cells table provides you with a list of cells in the game and exposes 
+their various parameters to edit.
+
+Sleep Forbidden
+   In most cities it is forbidden to sleep outside. Sleeping in the wilderness
+   carries its own risks of attack, though. This entry lets you decide if a
+   player should be allowed to sleep on the floor in this cell or not.
+
+Interior Water
+   Setting the cell’s Interior Water to ``true`` tells the game that there needs
+   to be water at height 0 in this cell. This is useful for dungeons or mines
+   that have water in them.
+
+   Setting the cell’s Interior Water to ``false`` tells the game that the water
+   at height 0 should not be used. This flag is useless for outside cells.
+
+Interior Sky
+   Should this interior cell have a sky? This is a rather unique case. The
+   Tribunal expansion took place in a city on the mainland. Normally this would
+   require the city to be composed of exterior cells so it has a sky, weather
+   and the like. But if the player is in an exterior cell and were to look at
+   their in-game map, they would see Vvardenfell with an overview of all
+   exterior cells. The player would have to see the city’s very own map, as if
+   they were walking around in an interior cell.
+   
+   So the developers decided to create a workaround and take a bit of both: The
+   whole city would technically work exactly like an interior cell, but it
+   would need a sky as if it was an exterior cell. That is what this is. This
+   is why the vast majority of the cells you will find in this screen will have
+   this option set to false: It is only meant for these "fake exteriors".
+
+Region
+   To which Region does this cell belong? This has an impact on the way the
+   game handles weather and encounters in this area. It is also possible for a
+   cell not to belong to any region.
+
+Interior
+    When enabled, it allows to manually set *Ambient*, *Sunlight*, *Fog*, 
+    and *Fog Density* values regardless of the main sky system.
+    
+Ambient
+    Colour of the secondary light, that contributes to an overall shading of the 
+    scene.
+    
+Sunlight
+    Colour of the primary light that lights the scene.
+    
+Fog
+    Colour of the distant fog effect.
+    
+Fog Density
+    How quickly do objects start fading into the fog.
+
+Water Level
+    Height of the water plane. Only applies to interior cells
+    when *Interior Water* is enabled.
+    
+Map Color
+    This is a property present in Morrowind, but is not actually used.
+    It doesn’t do anything in OpenMW either.
+
+
+Lands
+*****
+
+Lands are records needed by exterior cells to show the terrain. Each exterior 
+cell needs its own land record and they are paired by matching IDs. Land records
+can be created manually in this table, but a better approach is to simply shape
+the terrain in the 3D view and the land record of affected cells will be
+created automatically.
+
+
+Land Textures
+*************
+
+This is a list of textures that are specifically used to paint the terrain of 
+exterior cells. By default, the terrain shows the ``_land_default.dds`` texture 
+found in ``data/textures`` folder. Land texture entries can be added, edited or
+removed.
+
+Texture Nickname
+    Name of this land texture.
+
+Texture Index
+    Assigned automatically and cannot be edited.
+    
+Texture
+    Texture image file that is used for this land texture.
+
+
+Pathgrids
+*********
+
+Pathgrids allow NPCs to navigate and move along complicated paths in their surroundings.
+A pathgrid contains a list of *points* connected by *edges*. NPCs will
+find their way from one point to another as long as there is a path of 
+connecting edges between them. One pathgrid is used per cell. When recast 
+navigation is enabled, the pathgrids are not used.
+
+
+Regions
+*******
+
+Regions describe general areas of the exterior game world and define rules for 
+random enemy encounters, ambient sounds, and weather. Regions can be assigned 
+one per cell and the cells will inherit their rules.
+
+Name
+   This is how the game will show the player's location in-game.
+
+MapColour
+   This is a colour used to identify the region when viewed in *World* → *Region Map*.
+
+Sleep Encounter
+   This field takes an object of the *Creature Levelled List* type. This object 
+   defines what kinds of enemies the player might encounter when sleeping outside 
+   in the wilderness.
+
+Weather
+    A table listing all available weather types and their chance to occur while 
+    the player is in this region. Entries cannot be added or removed.
+
+Sounds
+    A table listing ambient sounds that will randomly play while the player is 
+    in this region. Entries can be freely added or removed.
+
+
+Region Map
+**********
+
+The region map shows a grid of exterior cells, their relative positions to one 
+another, and regions they belong to. In summary, it shows the world map. 
+Compared to the cells table which is a list, this view helps vizualize the world.
+Region map does not show interior cells.

-Cells
-=====

-Expansive worlds such as Vvardenfell, with all its items, NPCs, etc. have a lot
-going on simultaneously. But if the player is in Balmora, why would the
-computer need to keep track the exact locations of NPCs walking through the
-corridors in a Vivec canton? All that work would be quite useless and bring
-the player's system down to its knees! So the world has been divided up into
-squares we call *cells*.  Once your character enters a cell, the game will load
-everything that is going on in that cell so the player can interact with it.
-
-In the original Morrowind this could be seen when a small loading bar would
-appear near the bottom of the screen while travelling; the player had just
-entered a new cell and the game had to load all the items and NPCs. The *Cells*
-screen in OpenMW CS provides you with a list of cells in the game, both the
-interior cells (houses, dungeons, mines, etc.) and the exterior cells (the
-outside world).
-
-Sleep Forbidden
-   Can the player sleep on the floor? In most cities it is forbidden to sleep
-   outside. Sleeping in the wilderness carries its own risks of attack, though,
-   and this entry lets you decide if a player should be allowed to sleep on the
-   floor in this cell or not.
-
-Interior Water
-   Should water be rendered in this interior cell? The game world consists of
-   an endless ocean at height 0, then the landscape is added. If part of the
-   landscape goes below height 0, the player will see water.
-
-   Setting the cell’s Interior Water to true tells the game that this cell that
-   there needs to be water at height 0. This is useful for dungeons or mines
-   that have water in them.
-
-   Setting the cell’s Interior Water to ``false`` tells the game that the water
-   at height 0 should not be used. This flag is useless for outside cells.
