HOW TO PLAY DAGGERFALL ON LINUX INSTALL
You will be able to install it anytime and it wil change from time to time as new files are released. Soon I will create second package that requires this one, and will add community created stuff like bugfixes, improvements and quests.
If you want to use it, have fun with it, but be careful - it is very sketchy and bugs can live inside - I only tested it on 64 bit system and Daggerfall archives. It is based on public domain code and descriptions (with links to sources in comment near beginning), but modified (for example to support archives other than PACKED.DAT). The unpk.py script is used to unpack PACKED.DAT into ARCH3D.BSA and DAGGER.SND, and to unpack 109 updated files from patch file DAG213.EXE - it can probably be also used to unpack files from other old DOS games. Also, please adjust dosbox configuration to your needs, probably post your best working config so I can update the default config to one that works for most people? The package requires only dosbox to run and python2+bsdiff+unzip for building. It would be cool if someone could report how it works. You can get it here: - please note that I have not tested it on 32 bits, I'm bit worried for the extraction code (it uses bit shifts, it should be OK, but I cannot be 100% certain). The package contains last Daggerfall (2.13 + Comp USA edition quests + fixsave 1.75) - so all official files.
Especially, that Daggerfall is now free, released by Bethesda for 15 years of TES anniversary. Recently I found a way to unpack archives used in Daggerfall, so now there is nothing that stops us from having it in AUR.
