Question about climate
Posted: Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:22 am
I was travelling near the border between Ilessan Hills and Shalgora when I reached a place where the flats were very different (see picture, you can see the thick "temperate woodland" flats on the left). From what I can tell this is supposed to be the "haunted woodland" set of flats. Interestingly it seems to correspond to the misty regions on the world map (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/File:DF-map-Il ... beled).png)
This got me looking at CLIMATE.PAK and the other defined climates. This was the best information I could find: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:CLIMATE.PAK. Without the original sky backgrounds to distinguish the "highlands" from the desert, it looks like there are 6 unique combinations of ground/flat textures.
And if this is right then the Woodland Hills (506) and Sub Tropical (501) flats are unused? It *looks* like there are hill climates defined in CLIMATE.PAK (I wasn't able to find a labelled version of the map). I'm guessing the hills are the larger area covering most of Glenpoint and Ilessan Hills, and the foothills north of Wayrest. However according to the wiki page there is only one climate code (230) that uses the temperate woodland flats, so I'm not sure how the same flats are being used for the rest of the temperate area.
When I travel to those regions they look the same as the temperate woodlands from what I can tell, I don't see the 'rock with a hole in it' flat that is supposed to be part of the Woodland Hills. Does DFU use these flats anywhere or are there mods to add them to the appropriate climate areas?
