Daggerfall Workshop Forums

Hi, everybody. I have an idea to create a launcher for Daggerfall Unity.
Through this launcher, you can: run, configure, update the game; download, install, configure, update mods; update this launcher.
How do you like the idea?

Mods ecosystem is not mature enough to automatize download, maybe someday.
Also, please make it as portable as Daggerfall Unity itself

I'm a big fan of moving the DFU launcher out of the game window and into a standard OS box like Eduke32 and HoMM3HD. I dunno what the implications of that are for portability, but DFU has a lot of options and they'd look nicer in a scrollable listview table. Cramming them into a 320x200 window seems iffy.

Looks fine on my 4K 42" screen

Hello everyone, here is a demonstration of a simple user interface in the launcher. Strongly stones do not throw, I'm still learning.

I like launchers, esp the function to load a specific save... select save, click and skip everything and just load the game.
And with all the options DFU now has, it would be cool to have it in a launcher as well.
Plus maybe to mod organiser etc.

I know the later things are in the game menu (to which you cant return from the game )

But all in all... Im up for a nice launcher.

Will test the thing u posted.

I like this, but I hope by "download" you mean downloading updates for Daggerfall Unity. That would be nice. Any automated update system would be nice.

Sorry for not showing up for a long time. I had problems with the Windows and had to restore the system. Because of this, I did not upload builds of my launcher. But now the problems in the past and here's the latest version of the launcher. PostScript: soon I will be able to compile the launcher for Linux.

Here's a silly question. How does one get this to work?

Sorry, didn't check. Here's the fix: https://yadi.sk/d/ThKMvV8oCeYxdw . I want to remind you that this is only a test of the user interface.
