The Daggerfall Hint book states some quests require the player to attain a minimum level to complete a quest. With the "Master of SKILL" _feature_, some players cannot complete the game. I have chosen to limit DAGGU to a simple skill value editor, which is not meant for "cheating". However, I could be "pursuaded" to add quite a few "cheat" features to the editor as well as a bit of cleanup, if some "greenbacks" floated to the address listed above. 8^) *chuckle* -What is Daggerfall Graphical Utilities v1.0 revision b- Included Miscellaneous skills. Added a savefile loading interface. It now lists the descriptions of your savefiles and allows you to choose which to load. MAKE SURE TO RUN THE EDITOR FROM YOUR DAGGER DIRECTORY. -What is Daggerfall Graphical Utilities v1.0 revision c- Fixed a MASSIVE bug that was simply due to writing the save file in the default file open mode, instead of binary open mode. -What is Daggerfall Graphical Utilities v1.0 revision d- Included a counter that keeps track of the total points you've added or subtracted while editing. This way, for those who aren't cheaters, you can make sure to disperse your skill points evenly so no unnecessary levels are gained or lost. Anytime the total skill values amount to a value other than your current level in Daggerfall, Daggerfall will call the "level" program which will either add or subtract a level from your character. In either case, you still gain stat points (str/int/etc) and health points. This can be considered cheating. -What is Daggerfall Graphical Utilities v1.0 revision e- Fixed some cosmetic flaws. Added improved mouse support for Logitech mice in Win95. -Using DAGGUxxx- Change to your dagger directory and enter: DAGGU10E Character Name EXAMPLE: C:\DAGGER> DAGGU10E John Doe Jr The character name can be "firstname lastname etc" and is not case sensitive. FYI, you may wish to backup the file SAVETREE.DAT. It is the file edited. -Installation- Just copy the DAGGUxxx.EXE file into your Daggerfall directory. -Removal- Just delete the DAGGUxxx.EXE file from your Daggerfall directory. -Comments- I WILL be adding quite a few features to the editor. The current version is FREEWARE. The following versions (v2.0 and greater) are shareware. The "guilty consience" fee for the shareware version is $5.00 US dollars. In the shareware version, you can: Alter the character skill percentages as in the freeware version Alter the order of your primary, major, and minor skills. Alter the character STAT points (Strength, Intelligence, etc.) And possibly: Adjust gold Edit items Edit reputations (most requests are for this) There are no guarantees, but there will most likely be other features added. But for five bucks, with free upgrades, you can't go wrong! 8^) Watch for the shareware v2.0+ releases on the Daggu webpage! Anyone finding any bugs? PLEASE EMail me - intruder@gj.net or fill out the comment/bug form on the DAGGU webpage! *** Future shareware releases? *** Allow up to 32k points on strength, intelligence, etc. Allow up to 32k points on skills. Hit points/stamina/name/etc. Suggestions? -Thanks- Thanks primarily to Bethesda for their cutting edge software. Thanks to ANYONE who tosses cash my way! 8^) Thanks to John Kohler for his vast knowledge of C++ Thanks to all who send in bug information to make my life easier! Thanks to "Larry and Shiela" for helping me solve *chuckle* THE BUG! Thanks to the comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg news group for all your input. -- intruder@gj.net http://www.gj.net/~intruder/dagger.html
