Visitable Crypts

Post by Yagiza »

=====================================================================
Visitable Crypts

0.4.0 for DaggerFall Unity 0.10.12 (or newer)
=====================================================================

Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since version 0.10.12 completely working World Data Overrides feature is implemented in Daggerfall Unity.
This encouraged me to make this mod.
In the original Daggerfall, the crypts in the town cemeteries are decorative and impossible to enter.
This mod makes those crypts visitable: you may enter them to fight monsters and look for treasures.

Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extract StreamingAssets\WorldData subdirectory to owerwrite existing StreamingAssets\WorldData subdirectory in DaggerfallUnity_Data directory.

Affected locations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In version 0.4.0 all the towns of Daggerfall, Sentinel and Wayrest provinces with cemeteries, which contain crypts (besides Wayrest) are affected. Other provinces are unaffected by this version of the mod. More locations will be added in further releases.

Known issues
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some towns with cemeteries, which contain 2 crypts. Those towns are:
Daggerfall:
  • Aldingwich
  • Crossmarket
  • Longbury
  • Oxville
  • Whiteborne
Sentinel:
  • Akhoaisa
  • Sedojer
Wayrest:
  • Cathlech
  • Chargate
  • Cromwick Hamlet
  • Eastbrone
  • Knightsbrugh
  • Penwood
  • Tamgate
  • Warmore
The problem is that each location in Daggerfall may contain not more than 1 dungeon. So, only one of those crypts is visitable. Another one is left decorative.

For the same reason, the only crypt in Wayrest is also decorative, because the town already have a dungeon (the Castle).

Related mods
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Persistent Dungeons
    It is recommended to use those mods together. Otherwise, you'll be able to get easily stuff by grabbing treasures and loot from the crypt and selling it in the nearest shop.

As a new player of vanilla a long time ago, I was surprised I couldn't enter these crypts that resembled their wilderness cousins. I just figured guard patrols made it a bad idea. Thank you for making such a niche curiosity work.

This is a great idea for a mod and it should definately be expanded to other regions.

Regarding the two crypts in one town problem, I think # 1. Make only one of 2 crypts visitable, leaving the second one decorative ... maybe bring up a message box when you click on the unvisitable crypt that says something like, "This Crypt has collapsed and the entrance is blocked."

It might be good to expand some of the bigger city crypts , having them lead on into other underground features like sewers, lost/old cellars and ancient ruins - plenty of scope for smuggler's dens, vampire hideouts, deadra cults and other such delights. (Sorry, if my imagination is getting carried away with someone else's work load.)

Question: the palaces in the main quest cities are dungeons rather than just interiors like shops, houses and most other palaces ... does that mean those cities can't have visitable crypts because they already have a dungeon?

This is a mod I've wanted for a long time. I've always felt like, why cant I farm this crypt in town?!

On one hand, it's a crypt, no one goes down there, maybe there are monsters.
On the other hand, it's in the middle of town why are there mobs.

But for real, Thank You.

Ok. So, that's the way I'll do it.

I don't think it's possible right now.

Yes. But fortunately, I only know three towns with a dungeon (Daggerfall, Sentinel and Wayrest), and only one of them (Wayrest) has a cemetery with a crypt. So I think this is the only crypt in the game that will remain decorative.

Version 0.2.0 released!

Fixed all the towns with cemeteries which contain two crypts, as you suggested: now both crypts are present, but only one of them is visitable.
