I'd love to try it, but the install is pretty involved, and the instructions are hard to find and haven't found any that are linux specific and provide paths for content locations.

Ah yeah, I remember that being pretty hard. It has been a long time since I set up TR.

I think the tricky file to find was ~/.config/openmw/openmw.cfg and it needed to che changed to include:

    fallback-archive=PT_Data.bsa
    fallback-archive=TR_Data.bsa

and

    content=Tamriel_Data.esm

Then everything else was managed with the openmw-launcher UI. The game ended up installed in ~/.local/share/openmw/ with some funky setup to deal with mods.

I don't think it was very difficult when I tried it. Just grab the textures and main mod, put them somewhere (e.g. .local/share), and then append the following to your openmw.cfg config AFTER the base game:

data="/home/user/.local/share/mw/Tamriel Data (HD)"

data="/home/user/.local/share/mw/Tamriel Rebuilt"
