Plugins cover a BSA virtual file system, NIF mesh loading through niflib, terrain, skybox and game logic. The docs describe how NIF scene trees and animations are converted, how plugin reference IDs are remapped when several master files load, and list original Morrowind bugs with their causes, fixes and status in the engine.",
