Classic unofficial quests

[pango]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any unofficial quest made for classic Daggerfall are included by Daggerfall Unity.

I'm asking this, because I have memories of a fighters guild quest (I think it is M0B40Y30) that I couldn't find in DFU "decompiled" quests, so I assume only official quests have been ported.
In this quest, you're supposed to assume security service during a party at a nearby tavern. At some point a guest chokes over (poisonous?) mushrooms and you have to rush to the closest temple (you have very little time) to save him.
That's an ok quest, certainly better than the average go-kill-the-wild-beast usually found in fighters guilds, but that's not the reason why I remember it vividly. I remember it because in the tavern they put to use one of the unused "crowd chatter" sounds that are part of classic Daggerfall release, and it works very well! The tavern really seems to come to life, even if no NPC moves more than usual...

DFU should be fairly comprehensive. I combined all major quests packs and fan patches before decompiling with TEMPLATE.

Do you remember which pack that quest was from? I can only find one hit on Google and it's a French site. If you can source the QRC and QBN files, it should be easy enough to get into DFU.

It's also really easy to write quests these days, could always recreate it from memory as well.

I used the famous DaggerfallSetup.exe from UESP/Wiwiland, and this quest is present when I select

• Live by the sword by GhanBuriGhan: 5 Fighters Guild quests

Hmm, might have missed this pack in my export, or it didn't decompile properly. I also used DaggerfallSetup as my base.

Not to worry, it's super easy to decompile quests and bundle them into a mod pack these days.

Yes, that was a very fun quest. It actually branches into several other outcomes. One is that a party guest becomes too rowdy and you have to put him/her down. It makes use of some of DF's talking sounds, which was very unique.

GhanBuriGhan? He knows his RPG mechanics that man, was one of the most interesting posters back in the good old days of the Codex before it was overrun with edgy children.

If he wrote the quest then it's worth adding it into DFU. Interkarma, if you recall I created a quest list for non-original quests we may want to add to DFU. Sounds like this would be a candidate.

Happy for these quests to be included.

Looking at the isolated LBSWORD.ZIP download from UESP (attached), it contains the following 6x QBN files.

• M0B30Y33
• M0B40Y30
• M0B45Y32
• M0B50Y32
• M0B50Y34
• M0B60Y31

None of these are currently present in DFU Quests folder. I'll decompile these and add to core shortly.

I've decompiled and added all 6x quests from GhanBuriGhan's LBSWORD.ZIP to the Quests folder and and linked up via QuestList-DFU table. Commit details are here:

It would be appreciated if someone could test these before next builds please. Please send any minor fixes via PR, and if quest is not working at all, please comment out quest row in QuestList-DFU table and add description of problem to notes.

Thanks all.

Mmmh several things suggest that this pack contains 5 quests only (the pack documentation, the number of quest sources, the 10 files copied by the testqst.bat install file, that match the 10 installed in DaggerfallSetup), I'm suspecting that M0b45y32 is an older version of M0b50y32 that was not really meant to be released...

My source is LBSWORD.ZIP from UESP here. The zip includes 6 quests, but I would agree that M0b45y32 seems off as it doesn't include any text. I'll nuke this one now. If there are any other issues with these quests, please send me a PR to correct. Cheers.

I have done what I can to try and help with this request. Currently this is not my focus, and I'd personally prefer not to spend any more time on this. In future, unofficial quests not already included in DFU can be released as optional mod packages by community. You are most welcome for the addition in this case, but I'm going to bow out of this topic now.
