Daggerfall Classic Wiki (UESP)
Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2019 9:30 pm
Jay_H and Azteca are currently leading the charge in planning a DFU wiki, likely to be hosted on UESP, which describes issues specific to DFU, including installation/troubleshooting, modding/mods, and bugfixes/features/tweaked game mechanics that are included in DFU but not in classic Daggerfall - see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=260 for the discussion.
As I've been gradually working in parallel to the above effort to correct many inaccuracies in the existing UESP pages for classic Daggerfall, I thought it would make sense to open this second topic devoted to needed changes on that side. To be clear, this current topic will be for changes to the UESP involving classic Daggerfall content, which will generally also apply to DFU. Meanwhile, Jay_H's topic above will be focused exclusively on DFU-only content, with that DFU wiki relying on and not duplicating the classic UESP data for any content shared identically between classic and DFU.
I'll be updating this post periodically to note the current status of UESP page changes for classic Daggerfall. Anyone with an attention to detail and interest in helping out in any capacity (in-game testing, interpreting game code, reporting wiki errors, etc.) is very welcome!
11 JUNE 2020 UPDATE: Due to some major changes in real life, I'll no longer have the time to devote to this project for the foreseeable future. However, I think the only major area needing attention is the issue of equipment durability. The most recent research as of June 2020 is summarized in the links further below in this post (see "11 June 2020 - Edits Needed (Confirmation Per Game Code Required)"), so anyone is welcome to continue the work on the basis of confirmed testing of classic Daggerfall game data. Thanks to all for your contributions!
