Patch Notes: Layered Gearing, the diamond hotbar and the game's voice

Layered Gearing (work in progress)

  • On by default: on foot you are now drawn in the helmet, chest armor and leg armor you actually wear: leather, chain, or plate in iron, steel, mithril, adamantium, ebony, orcish or daedric. Each character uses its own body.
  • The profile's Skin card now opens on a Look toggle: Skins or Layered Gearing (WIP).
  • Layered Gearing lets you choose the Female or Male body. If you switch to Skins and back, it keeps the body you chose for the rest of the session.
  • Skins works as before: choose your On foot and Mounted skins.
  • A worn Casual or Formal Cloak adds its hood and cape in its dye, over any armor.
  • On a horse you are drawn in your Mounted skin. As a werewolf or wereboar you are drawn as the beast.
  • Other players see your Layered Gearing look once the servers are updated. Until then they see your skin.

Quick slots

  • Settings > Features > Quick slots: Off, Diamond (slots 1-4), Hotbar (the default, ten squares) and the new Diamonds (ten diamond-shaped slots).
  • With the pack or spellbook open, point at an item or spell and press a slot key to put it on that slot. This works with every bar style.

The game's voice

  • The game's own text now uses American spelling (armor, color, harbor, specialization, jeweler, catalog).
  • Instructions and messages are written as plain, complete sentences, with "experience" in place of "XP".
  • Text quoted from Daggerfall, Daggerfall Unity and the mods keeps its own words.

The 2 and the Z

  • On the enhanced skin the 2 and the Z are redrawn so they can no longer be mistaken for each other.

Overworld travel

  • A journey no longer drops to x1 while the land ahead is still loading. It holds back only as much as needed, and full speed returns as soon as the land is built.
  • An enemy camp that has not noticed you no longer keeps the Overworld view down and the journey at x1.

What's Changed

  • LAYERED-GEAR: Layered Gearing on by default with a Skins toggle, the diamond hotbar, the voice pass and the 2/Z glyphs by @Lattymoy in #1061
