Featured Changes

Interkarma - Localization Upgrade

The localization feature in Daggerfall Unity has received significant upgrades. Translating the game is now easier and involves less technical overhead than in previous releases.

To summarise the improvements in this release:

• Simplified workflow to create translation mods.
• No need to use the Unity editor or write any code.
• Replace fonts simply with a .ttf or .otf file.
• Replace in-game text with only CSV and .txt files.
• More text can be translated than ever - quests, location names, books, almost all text in game now.
• Add colour, text scaling, and images to book text.
• Easily share translations as simple .zip files and unzip into StreamingAssets.
• Several bug fixes and updates to localization layer in DFU to support all this and make things easy as possible to work with using basic tools like Excel and Notepad.
• A zip file of master localization CSV files is included with game release.

Article below is a fast but detailed introduction to translating DFU in 0.15.1 and later. This article supersedes any previous translation process.

AverniteDF - Improved Mouselook Smoothing #2479

Daggerfall Unity's mouse look smoothing has been updated. This new method by AverniteDF has uniform mouse sensitivity parity whether smoothing is on or off, and allows for setting a variable amount of smoothing rather than simply on/off. You can now configure smoothing to six levels: None (disabled), Lowest, Low, Medium (default), High, Highest.

Note: If you previously had mouse look smoothing enabled, your mouse look sensitivity will now be lower than before. Increase sensitivity in settings until this is back to a comfortable level.

Mouse look sensitivity maximum has also been increased from 8.0 to 16.0 as part of this change. The default has also been increased, but this won't change existing setups.
