No trapdoor in S0000999.RDB (PH specific block), N0000000.RDB, N0000001.RDB, N0000002.RDB (dry variants of PH block) or W0000001.RDB (floodable variant of PH block). I don't think I missed any.
Could be some demo, I don't know this topic as deeply

I believe you, thanks for looking into it :X Only option is that it was in the demo, or its the faulty system memory of mine.

Ive checked and there isnt any room directly above the main room in PH from where u might be able to fall down, other than the exit room.
The trap door I speak about was not in the exit room.

I think it really might have happened in the demo, it had different layout than the rest of the game I think (I tryed the demo and it doesnt seem so)

I dont know - this will haunt me for rest of my life I guess :X Or I will learn to code and add that trap so my frustration will be unleashed upon every newbie exploring the PH!! :twisted:

And make sure that some trapdoors are not ment to stay closed until some lever activates them. So the sound playing is actually the bug.

For the screenshot in classic I just went to the trapdoor and walked into it, so they're no prerequisite.

I remember dungeons that had the trap doors but I have pretty extensive knowledge of PH and there isn't one of them in there. I have never heard of a demo of Daggerfall but I found about the game when a friend bought it so maybe there was one before the full release that had the suggested different lay out.

And most likely there were more versions of that demo as well. I know it happened to me. Multiple times. Thats why it haunts me for so long and at the same time it makes no sense to me :/ maybe it was in the early unpatched release version. Maybe it was a bug in a geometry which was patched afterwards? In those times I did not have a internet and patching was out of question.

Maybe it was the glitch that made you fall through the floor? :lol:

I quickly hacked a trapdoor fix, but it could be breaking other "TRP" actions somewhere else...

Code: Select all

diff --git a/Assets/Scripts/Utility/RDBLayout.cs b/Assets/Scripts/Utility/RDBLayout.cs
index 6cf5455de..f47f04c5a 100644
--- a/Assets/Scripts/Utility/RDBLayout.cs
+++ b/Assets/Scripts/Utility/RDBLayout.cs
@@ -1056,6 +1056,9 @@ namespace DaggerfallWorkshop.Utility
                 case "WHE":
                     action.ActionRotation = new Vector3(0, -360f, 0);      // Wheels (e.g. Direnni Tower)
                     break;
+                case "TRP":
+                    action.ActionRotation = new Vector3(-70f, 0, 0);
+                    break;
             }
 
             //Add audio
In classic the trapdoor also returns to its initial position when you're no longer stepping on it

If anybody knows the location of working trapdoors (or better yet, can provide game saves), I'm interested
