  1. Download the mod from this URL

  2. Extract the zip to a location of your choosing, examples below: 

     # Windows
 C:\games\OpenMWMods\Travel\signpost-fast-travel

 # Linux
 /home/username/games/OpenMWMods/Travel/signpost-fast-travel

 # macOS
 /Users/username/games/OpenMWMods/Travel/signpost-fast-travel

  3. Add the appropriate data path to your opemw.cfg file (e.g. data="C:\games\OpenMWMods\Travel\signpost-fast-travel")

  4. Add content=signpost-fast-travel.omwscripts and content=signpost-fast-travel.omwaddon to your load order in openmw.cfg or enable them via OpenMW-Launcher

    • If you’re also using Signposts Retextured, activate the PB_SignpostsRetextured.omwaddon and PB_SignpostsRetexturedTR.omwaddon (if also using TR) plugins that come with this instead of the ones that come with it.

→ How It Works

This mod will generate up to 100 spawn points (configurable, see below) in every named exterior cell you visit. When you activate a signpost, if you’ve been to the location named on the sign, you will be transported there using one of the generated points.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW!!!! (on the website, highlight with your mouse to see)

There is a semi-hidden menu-based fast travel system that allows you to visit any named exterior you’ve previously been to by activating any signpost. Doing this brings up a menu that lists each location you can travel to. In order to use this feature, the player must find a Mage’s Guild member in Nchuleftingth that can trade for a special item which enables this mode of travel. Full details will be explained by this NPC.

SPOILER ALERT ENDS!!!!

→ Configuration

Various aspects of this mod are configurable via the script settings menu (ESC >> Options >> Scripts):

→ Known Issues / Notes

→ Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with any replacer that preserves the “name” of the signpost activators. Mods known to be incompatible due to this:

→ Adding Support For New Signs

This mod comes with an interface that can be used to add support for more signs via a third party mod. Please note that a valid sign should be an activator with a name field that matches some named exterior cell or cells.

To do this, two files are needed:

  1. YourAddonName.omwscripts with the following contents: 
GLOBAL: scripts/YourAddonName/global.lua
  1. scripts/YourAddonName/global.lua with the following contents: 
local SFT = require("openmw.interfaces").SignPostFastTravel

if not SFT then
    error("ERROR: Signpost Fast Travel is not installed!")
end

SFT.RegisterSigns({
        "signpost_id_01",
        "signpost_id_02",
        ...
})

File layout: 

.
├── YourAddonName.omwscripts
└── scripts
    └── YourAddonName
        └── global.lua

Note you should change YourAddonName to match your mod’s name and the IDs used to match the IDs you want to add.

The SFT variable gives you direct access to the Signpost Fast Travel interface. You can use whatever script and path names you like, but it must be a global script.
