Summary

This is the stable release of the first community update for Daggerfall Unity. If you experience new issues with this version, please reach out to @KABoissonneault on Discord or the /r/daggerfallunity subreddit.

Mods should not have been broken by this release. If anything stops working, make sure your setup is correct. The only files you should copy from an old DFU installation are the .dfmod files. Visit the Mods menu on the launcher to make sure everything is there.

What's Changed

If you have not seen the changes from the v1.1 Release Candidate, you can find them here: https://github.com/Interkarma/daggerfall-unity/releases/tag/v1.1.0-rc

Some highlights include:

• New in-game tutorial
• Crash fixes
• Setup improvements, like improved player logs, settings folder being more accessible, and ability to navigate hidden folders during the initial DFU configuration

Changes in v1.1.1:

• Fix expiring equipped items not adjusting armorvalues by @ajrb in #2641
• Added ability to move UI elements by @Jagget in #2618
• Fix for QuestListsManager.GetQuest (for quests in dfmods) by @Jagget in #2646
• Portable install by @RicardoLuis0 in #2556
• Support loading fonts from dfmods by @Jagget in #2579

Feature showcase

Portable Install

A big new setup feature for 1.1 in general is "Portable Install". Portable Installs will make your DFU installation store and read all its settings and saves from inside the installation folder, rather than the computer's user settings. This makes it easier to manage multiple DFU installations, can make it easier to move the installation to another machine, and can avoid polluting user settings.

To enable a Portable Install, simply create a new file named "Portable.txt" in your DFU folder. On Mac and Linux, the capital letter is important.

When you next run DaggerfallUnity, you will go through the setup again, and the game should now create a folder called PortableAppData in your installation folder to store all these settings. Again, you will have no DFU saves and no mod settings, since you've just started from scratch. You can copy-paste these from the regular user settings if you want.

Did you know that you could make the DFU setup faster by dropping DF's arena2 folder directly under DaggerfallUnity_Data/StreamingAssets/GameFiles ? Use this to make a truly portable DFU installation that contains everything necessary to run.

Finding your settings

It is now much easier to find your settings, whether you're using traditional user settings or the new 'portable install' settings.

A simple double-click on the 'settings folder' shown on the launcher screen should open your file explorer to this folder. In it, you can find the "settings.ini" settings file, the "Player.log" logs, your Mods configurations, and your saves.

Player logs are pretty essential any time you hit an issue, especially since they're much more readable in v1.1. Be sure to always include them when reporting issues.

Note that if you reboot the game to find this folder again, your Player.log will be overwritten! If you needed logs from the previous play session, check "Player-prev.log" instead.

I would like to thank again all the contributors and reviewers that made this release possible. This project can only persist through distributed efforts.

Summary

This release is an improvement update for Daggerfall Unity with bug fixes, and the first community update for DFU. Version 1.1.0 is intended to be a stable release for general play. All your existing mods should work on v1.1. If you experience new issues with this version, please report to #dfu-tech-help on the Lysandus' Tomb Discord server.

Release Candidate

While DFU has been fully released on the last release, we're now using the term "Release Candidate" for an update that seems solid enough for release, but needs to be deployed at large before we're ready to tell everyone to upgrade to the new version. Mods are expected to test against the new build, and report issues if there's anything that broke, compared to the previous release.

Featured Changes

New Tutorial

We have a new tutorial! When starting a new playthrough, you will be greeted with this message, replacing the classic Daggerfall tutorial.

Compared to the old DOS FALL.EXE, Daggerfall Unity is a new software with different features and settings. As such, many messages in the tutorial were no longer relevant, or could be rewritten with the expected DFU experience in mind. DFU is already a notable departure from the original game on many basic gameplay aspects, it only makes sense that the tutorial should be adapted in consequence.

We hope this new approach will be useful for new DFU players, even ones with DF experience.

Music fixes

Did you know there is a theme in Daggerfall that is rumored to be unused, but actually appears in the game? This "Knight Theme" is not used in Knight Order halls, but can be heard in some Fighter Trainers halls in Hammerfell!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewt8uDe8fZo

DFU v1.1.0 reintroduces this theme at the appropriate location (assuming you're not running any mods that changes those locations), and fixes many other music differences from the original game. Did you know gods all have one of three themes at their temples? It should always be the same when you visit the same temple now. Try to notice which gods share themes.

Crash fixes

We've taken steps to reduce crashes; the only one known to originate from DFU itself. Some users were experiencing multiple crashes per day, and v1.1.0 should be much better for those users. Some crashes may still originate from certain mod combinations, try and reach out to support to identify the issue.

With this change, we now have object tracking in the debug HUD for DFU. With the console command tdbg, you should be able to track how many objects DFU has created, which could help track memory issues in heavily modded setups.

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.1.0-rc

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank our reviewers for making this first community release possible. DFU cannot live on off of any single person's work, and community effort is necessary to ensure continued evolution while keeping a certain level of stability.

Reviewers for v1.1.0 changes:

• kaboissonneault
• Interkarma
• Numidium
• Hazelnut
• petchema
• Jagget

DFU uses a system of "approved reviewers" before bringing external changes into this repository. After v1.0, our list was quite limited, and each contributor's time was limited too. Guest reviews help bring new skills and perspectives into the process, and increase the confidence in a given change. As such, we will soon welcome @Jagget to the list of Approved Reviewers! Congratulations!

Unity Splash

Starting from 0.16, Daggerfall Unity will display a customised Unity splash for 2 seconds then load the standard launcher splash. Here's what it looks like in this release.

My reasoning for enabling the splash:

1. I'm moving on from Daggerfall Unity after 1.0 and won't be maintaining a Unity subscription (which is currently required to remove the splash). Unity also recently removed the more affordable Plus tier which makes this cost prohibitive anyway.
2. I feel it's important to normalise splash so that any future stewards or variants of this project do not feel like they need to pay for a Unity sub just to be on parity with the main release. Everyone is equal and you all own Daggerfall Unity now.
3. Splash provides future stewards or variant projects the ability to customise start with their own identity.

Featured Changes

Ted Peterson - Bourn in Wood Parts 1 and 2

Daggerfall Unity now has two exclusive in-game books written by none other than Ted Peterson, the lead designer of Daggerfall and one of the fathers of The Elder Scrolls. Ted is the author of several in-game books you've discovered over the years in Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion. He is also the namesake of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness.

These two books offer some background and motivation for a key figure in Daggerfall's story. They can be discovered once the player has progressed past a key moment in the game.

Ted wanted to be clear these books are in no way official and should not be considered canon. If Bethesda does something different with these characters in future then whatever Bethesda does is canon. Please also note that Part 1 and 2 are not the complete series, just the first two chapters.

We are very grateful to Ted for donating his time and talent to create something unique and special for Daggerfall Unity. Check out Ted's new game The Wayward Realms by OnceLost Games. This is a spiritual successor to Daggerfall led by Ted Peterson and Julian LeFay.

Mouse Smoothing Update

An improved method of mouse smoothing was added in 0.15.1 (see that release for more details). If you previously had mouse look smoothing enabled, your mouse look sensitivity will now feel lower than before. Increase sensitivity in settings until this is back to a comfortable level. If you previously had mouse smoothing disabled, you can disable the new method by setting Mouse Smoothing to None or try one of the lower power settings.

Featured Changes

Interkarma - Read localized quest sources c1e0869

The localization system will now seek for translated quest sources in StreamingAssets/Text/Quests. The translated quest file should have the same name as parent quest with -LOC appended. For example: M0B00Y16-LOC.txt.

The translated quest file must retain the header and QRC: section of source quest, but anything after QBN: is ignored and can be removed from translated quest file. Here's an example using pseudo-localized text.

With this change, translated quest text can be maintained using a simple text editor. As the QBN: section is not used in -LOC quests, none of the programming or logic of quests will be impacted. Internally, DFU builds a database of text strings from translated quests and will preferentially use those strings at runtime.

This change also makes it possible for translators to also provide localized versions of external quests, such as those from a quest pack mod.

The article Translating Daggerfall Unity will be updated soon to reflect this change.

Preview Release

Due to the large number of bug fixes and other incremental changes, this release is marked as a preview / pre-release of 0.15.

If you do not wish to test upcoming changes or provide feedback to developers and modders, please download the previous stable Beta release Daggerfall Unity 0.14.5 instead.

Impact to Mods

Changes in 0.15.x are considered "low-moderate impact" to mods. Mods compatible with 0.14.5 should generally remain compatible with this release. Some mods could be impacted depending on which part of the game mod targets. Mod creators please test your mods to confirm compatible with this release and update/rebuild if needed. This ensures your mod is ready for the next general release.

If you are a mod creator and encounter any difficulties rebuilding your mod for 0.15.x, please reach out on the forums for help.

Providing Feedback

Please help mod authors by testing their updated mods with this release and providing them with your feedback on Nexus or on the forums.

If you encounter any new issues in this release not present in the previous general release, please post details to Help & Support on the forums.

Featured Changes

Interkarma - Localization Upgrade

Continuing the localization upgrade in 0.15.x, further localization support has been added in 0.15.2. New CSV files have been added to Master Localization CSV Files 0.15.2.zip. For previous localization path notes, see 0.15.1 release.

The following localization support has been added in this release:

• Support larger replacement alphabets. Some alphabets required more characters for writing translations. Increased character support of font replacement atlas to fit approx. 5000 total characters.
• Ingredient/Weapon/Armor format strings can now be localized using ingredientFormatString, longWeaponNameFormatString, longArmorNameFormatString in Internal_Strings.csv.
• Remaining settings text (e.g. slider control values) now in Internal_Settings.csv.
• Spell names now in Internal_Spells.csv.
• Item template names now in Internal_Items.csv.
• Artifact and magic item template names now in Internal_MagicItems.csv.
• Faction names now in Internal_Factions.csv.
• Attribute ratings (e.g. "very strong", "cunning") now in Internal_Strings.csv.

Note On Text Caching

When localizing Daggerfall Unity, some text data is cached in various places and may still display in default English even though you've translated properly. Below are the main cases you will encounter this during translation, and some tips to work around.

• Item and spell names already in saves. Any spells and items already instantiated and present in player's save data will not be localized. Player may set custom names for their created spells and items, so this cannot be changed without potentially overwriting player's custom names. New spells and items created from template will be created using localized template names.
• Names of discovered buildings. When changing faction names impacting buildings (e.g. translating "The Mages Guild"), any buildings already discovered by player will have their names cached to DiscoveryData.txt in player save. Use console command "refresh_buildingnames" to reset all building names in discovery data at current location. Delete file DiscoveryData.txt from save to reset this globally. Note the latter will clear all player discovery state.
• Rumours involving factions. Some rumours involving factions (e.g. Faction X is now at war with Faction Y) are pre-expanded and cached to ConversationData.txt in player save. To workaround, travel for over 38 days to cycle in fresh rumours or delete ConversationData.txt from save.
• Names in active quests. Names and locations in active quests will not be localized until quest ends and recompiles. Use console command "purgeallquests" or delete QuestData.txt from save to clear all quests. Then restart quest using localized version.
