Castle Llugwych -- FIX

// by DelphiSnake 15 November 2011


* Fixes the exterior location at Castle Llugwych to use the correct building instead of re-using Direnni Tower.

Looks like a typo by someone at BethSoft was the source of this error, as Castle Llugwych always had unique artwork.

This oversight has been known for a long time, I think I first saw it mentioned by BruteDragon on alt.games.daggerfall ~1998.

See the Daggerfall Tool Repository for a graphical comparison of before and after applying the fix.

* Files modified

--- MAPS.BSA

* Installation

If you are willing to use a hex editor:

--- View llugwych.dhk and take note of the decimal location.
--- Fire up your hex editor and goto that location.
--- Change that byte to 07.
--- Done!

If you are unwilling to use a hex editor:
Extract the files in the archive to a sub-directory of your Daggerfall directory named LLUGWYCH. This is important -- it won't work otherwise. For example:

x:\games\dagger\llugwych

This fix utilizes FALLHACK by Andy Polis. You will need to obtain a copy and install it into your Daggerfall directory.

--- Available at the DF Tool Repo or seek fallhack.zip

You should read the documentation of Fallhack before continuing as blindly following instructions is Not A Good Idea.

Now that you've read the Fallhack documentation, you'll know to install fallhack.exe to your ..\dagger\ directory and that what you need to do at the DOS prompt is:

fallhack /i llugwych

This will make permanent changes to MAPS.BSA and will make a back-up copy of maps.bsa in the \llugwych directory.

--- Therefore you will need ~20mb free space available for the back-up.
--- You can delete this back-up if you are satisfied with the changes or have other back-ups.

Fallhack will display a (cheesy) graphic while it is working. When it is finished it will dump you back at the prompt.

Now fire up Daggerfall and enjoy the change of scenery.
