However, a problem with multi-entrance dungeons is that no matter where you enter trough, you'll appear in the same part of the dungeon, so if you did that entering through the crypt door would still end up with you appearing in the main room in Castle Daggerfall.
Your guess is wrong, I think.. I'd have to spend some time to be sure, but IIRC the DF data structure for a location can only have one dungeon defined.

Yep, that is correct. There is no way to add more than one dungeon to a location.

How many locations can spawn per MapPixel? Only one, right?

Yes that is possible. You do it in the C# file which you use for mod setup.

When I am back at my PC I can look for an example.

Edit: Here's a quick screenshot of my current "Black Horse Courier.cs"

There I add a few new and old places to the places table, so they can be accessed by quest files, for example the city of Tulune as "TuluneCity":

Code: Select all

Place _TuluneCity_ permanent TuluneCity

Yep, that's how I did it for places and unique npcs in Roleplay & Realism too. Note that I also needed to define new factions for the npcs. Please do register any id's you use in the thread pinned in released mods. Ta.
