Asset Injection supports SPELLS.STD?
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:49 am
Is there currently support within the asset injector to override the SPELLS.STD file located in the classic game's DF/arena2 folder?
...if so, what is the relative path and case sensitivity within the StreamingAssets directory? (Linux here)
I know how to reassign the default old icons to base-game spells, found magic items, trapped objects, enemy spellcasters, and so on; such that 75% of magic is not singularly stacked upon an absurd yellow or orange square. In-fact, I have this ready to go in a fully curated manner, with documentation and infographics. The old "limitations of the engine" are a myth.
To implement this tho, I replace the SPELLS.STD file, which I have manually hex-edited. This works in classic DOSbox Daggerfall (DFC), and of course works the same in DFU because DFU reads that same file from the DFC install. It is seamless. However, it would be optimal to not instruct DFU users to replace a file in their arena2 folder if that same file could simply be asset injected.
I am eager to integrate this into the DFU community. Please advise.
