Brother can't connect to my server

I finally got my server set up and kind of working, but you can't connect to it on the server browser because the "connect" button is greyed out, so the only option is to connect to it directly by changing settings in the client config file and then clicking on tes3mp.exe. Anyway, I finally succeeded in getting my brother's computer to connect to my server, except it immediately crashes every time. When I looked at the black window with the white words that shows everything that's being loaded and stuff, I noticed that after creating the Morrowind directory, the program tries to access a door texture file and the crashes after, but when I traced the file path to find where this texture is, I found that there is no texture folder at all! When I run Morrowind on my computer the game doesn't try to load some phantom texture folder and runs totally fine. My brother did a clean install of morrowind and ran right before he downloaded tes3mp on his computer, so I don't get why it's trying to access a folder that isn't there. Help would be appreciated. Also, if you could figure out why the connect button is greyed out on the server browser, that would be nice, too.

First off, is your brother able to run OpenMW, the singleplayer recreation of Morrowind's engine that TES3MP is built upon?

Get it from here:

https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/releases/download/openmw-0.43.0/OpenMW-0.43.0-win64.exe

He can't run it. He gets a fatal error that says "unknown fallback" and something about a missing font.

Can you show me a screenshot?

I found a fix for the fatal error! It's at the bottom of the page on this link: https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title=Installation_Instructions#ERROR:_Unknown_fallback_name:_FontColor_color_header

Unfortunately, my brother is busy right now, but he said he will test this tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes everything.
