Daggerfall Workshop Forums

Hi, I want to make a list of NPCs which have wrong portrait to them, so all these bugs are reported in one place. I will update the thread during the time. If other ppl join in the reports, it will be great and it will speed up the process.

I will start with a Shopkeeper as he is everywhere

I'll move this one to Issues for discussion and follow-up.

If anyone wants to help with this and send a PR, it would be appreciated. The fix is to change the face index in FACTION.TXT for that specific NPC resource. It isn't always easy to work out which faction the NPC data is drawn from in-game, I'll probably have to add a helper for this.

@KoW - thanks for providing save for the generic NPC. That's definitely helpful beyond the really easy ones like nobility in castles. Cheers!

No worries, I will try to include saves from now on

King of worms lair female NPC NPC Archive: 178_0-0 animation set
Current portrait: TFAC00I0.RCI_369-0 (wrong hood color)
Suggested portrait: TFAC00I0.RCI_38-0 (correct hood, not so smiling face)

(PS: It would be worth a while to try to talk to rest of NPCs there, I have low reputation so they mostly wont talk to me, this was only bug I was able to find)

I don't know how to refer to portrait IDs, but KoW is aware of an issue I reported in the wrong thread a while ago, so he may be able to track them down.

There's a child portrait associated with the shopkeeper of Tristard's Quality Fashion in Tuntower, Daggerfall. I have also seen the same NPC with the same portrait in one variant of the Archaeologist Guild halls.

The issue I mentioned in my previous reply could be about more than just a wrong portrait. I have since learned that the sprite for that shopkeeper is also the sprite for Prince Lhotun of Sentinel (the Prince himself has an appropriate portrait). Therefore, the matching portrait is already assigned to a unique NPC in the main quest.

I have also seen the same NPC with the same portrait in one variant of the Archaeologist Guild halls.

The Archaeologists' Guild is not DFU content. You'll need to speak with Hazelnut about that problem.

Cmon guys, release is nearing, help IK

I don't know if this one is fixable since it is not a stationary NPC, but I found this guy. Save attached.

The NPC isn't present when I load the save, so the bug report is a non-starter.

I loaded that save again and he wasn't there. I guess wandering NPCs aren't saved.
