Daggerfall Unity Beta 0.11.3

Daggerfall Unity 0.11.3 is now available on Live Builds page. This is another general bug-fix release with some updates to mod system.

Starting from this release, I’m attaching zipped builds along with patch notes to Releases page on GitHub. This will eventually become a longer-term archive for older builds even after they’re cleaned up from Live Builds page. If there’s enough demand, I can work through attaching older builds to previous releases on this page.

Now that I’m finally caught up with code review, I’ll be able to get back into the localization tutorial series. This series was pending some fixes rolled out in 0.11.2 and 0.11.3, so please be sure to update before the next article in series is published.

Quest Debugger Input Changes

The quest debugger has a few changes to input settings. These changes are to prevent accidentally opening debugger during normal play, free up the Tab key for other uses, and to make shortcuts easier on non-US keyboards. For example, the square bracket keys [ and ] are not so easy to use on AZERTY keyboards.

If you are not a quest author or don’t care about quest debugger, you can ignore these changes.

  • Quest debugger is now disabled by default. Must edit EnableQuestDebugger=True in settings.ini to activate it again.
  • Ctrl+Shift+D now cycles through debugger display states off/partial/full
  • Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow now opens previous active quest while debugger active
  • Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow now opens next active quest while debugger active
  • Ctrl+Shift+UpArrow now teleports to next dungeon quest marker while debugger active inside dungeon
  • Ctrl+Shift+DownArrow now teleports to previous dungeon quest marker while debugger active inside dungeon

Note: Some inputs might move character, e.g. Ctrl+Shift+D will also move character slightly to right when activating debugger. This is expected and not considered a breaking issue for a debug/development feature that is normally disabled.
