The UESP: Updates History (1996 to March 1998)
Note: This page has been moved to the new UESP-Wiki. The same content, just a different presentation.
This page very likely contains outdated information (last updated in 2005).
To reduce the size of the Updates History (Apr to Dec 1998), this page
was created to hold the older update entries. See this page for any changes made after 1 April 1998.
Changes for 28 March 1998
Several new files on the Daggerfall Files Page. New WinQEdit
quest editor, DFText (TEXT.RSC editor), DFItem (savegame item editor) and DEFEdit, (MAGIC.DEF editor).
Location of mages guild with good bound souls, DF Items Page.
Added the rest of the monsters and some more stats to the Battlespire Bestiary.
Not sure if the stats there are 100% correct since they are hacked from the GAME.EXE file.
Tip on the Battlespire Tech Page on how to get the game running without
a CD, removing those annoying pauses.
Several new records on the DF Records Page. Will be starting a Battlespire
records page soon so send stuff in.
Cheat on the DF Cheat Page about how to teleport to the dungeon
exit for free (no spells or items needed).
Finally released, a Battlespire Save Game editor, BATEDIT v0.10 Beta, on in the BS Files Page.
Name Beta since I made several assumptions about the save game structures and am not 100% I am right. I've
successfully editted a number of savegames with no problems.
The previous version of BatRaw on the BS Files Page had a small bug
which lowered the quality of the PCX files when converted. The problems been fixed and the PCX files come
out as they should. Also removed all the debug information and chopped 50kb off the ZIP size.
Added the Battlespire Walkthrough. Currently only up to Level 3
in there at the moment but I'll slowly get the others done as I play.
Created the Battlespire Item Names Page for describing all those
wierd magical item names in the game (currently over 200 names!).
Added the Battlespire Bugs Page for reporting (and possibly solving) and bugs
found in the game. Quite a few serious ones I've found already in the latest patch.
Started the Battlespire Bestiary Page for listing all the monsters in the
game along with fighting tactics, statistics etc... Not much at the moment but its a start.
Battlespire save game offset list added to the BS Hacking Guide as well as a little
more information, of note on TXT.BSA.
Joined the Link Exchange Counter program and added the counters to the main page. Will see how they
work for a while and if they slow things down too much.
Changes for 23 February 1998
Only a brief update to get the new Battlespire information out...larger one coming soon (so those
people who I promised some updates, its coming sometime).
Some new information on Battlespire, some Undocument Keys which
I found recently, including one for taking screen shots. To go along with this a new utility
to convert the screen shots to PCX files, BATRAW.
I finally got Battlespire and am very busy playing and hacking it to get information out there.
I've discovered quite a bit already in the first level and will try to organize into something
releasable soon. Also coming soon, a simple save game editor...stay tuned.
As you might have already seen, I'm working on a redesign of some of the main pages. I've tried to
organize things a bit better and improve the overall appearance (let me know if I've
failed to do so...:).
Added the Redguard and Morrowind sections.
They don't currently contain too much, just a little preview information.
Changes for 2 February 1998
Patch v1.5 has been released for Battlespire.
I think I've finally stopped writting '1997' for updates.
Rather small but severe bug in the last DagPicG version which made editting non-square
pictures from being editted properly (thanks whoever told me). Now you when you change a
pixel you write the the right one.
I think I've gotten the UESP mirror Site up and
operational...at least several people have successfully tried with no failures yet.
This site is a computer I setup in my room and is a 486/66 running Linux. This will
make it easier to test new things, etc... The honesty site will still remain the
main site since this one may change/go down at any time.
Small redesign of the all the main pages. Removed some of the smaller graphics since they
took up a lot of space and didn't contribute much to the design. While us lucky few with
ISDN or T1 connections don't notice the extra loading times, those with slower modems
definitely would. Close to 50kb of images were removed.
Small update for the Battlespire Swap file problem, on the BS Techinical Page.
Major upgrade on the ESPLINK Program. I redesigned it so that
it would handle all the UESP links sections which means only one set of link information
ever needs to be changes (as opposed to the 2/3 copies previously). You should find the
page just about the same looking, although the rating section is expanded significantly.
The configurable page is also accessible in order to display just the sites you want in the
desired order. If you get any wierd output/error messages let me know.
Fixed _many_ bugs in the ESP Search Routine which resulting in
not looking in certain files and the 'Document Contains No Data' error.
Updated all the pictures in the DF Bestairy using ANDYPIC to
get the pictures directly from the texture files. This results in much better pictures.
The usual lots of little corrections here and there.
Changes for 16 December 1997
Just uploaded two new great editors to the DF File Area
under the misc. utilities. BookEdit v0.10 and DagPicG v0.35G. BookEdit is a simple text editor
which allows you to create or edit DF book files in the ARENA2\BOOKS directory. DagPicG is
an improvement over the original DagPic and is a fully graphical program for loading, converting,
saving, and even editting IMG/CIF files. Both have been tested and appear to run correctly but
being the first versions please report any bugs you find or improvements you can think of. Enjoy...
Changes for 14 December 1997
Important News!: Battlespire has been released!
Added a whole bunch of things to the Battlespire Page, including
the new Bethesda FAQ, reviews, PATCH info, guilds page, technical info and more! More to come hopefully.

DF Hints Page.

Couple new records on the Daggerfall Hall of Records but I
still need a lot more....don't be shy, send in your new records/catagories...
Battlespire minimum requirements seems to have increases to a P133... No news for sure on
the exact release date yet.
Changes for 16 October 1997
Fixed an error which prevented the search engine from working...oops. There is also

sure why but I will be looking into this.
New hint/trick on the DF Hints Page on flying
up without levitation
New cheats on the DF Cheats Page which can
be very useful during character creation and any spell castors.
Created the DF Bug Page which simply lists the known

Finally, complete listing of legal reputations on the DF Guild Page.
Quite a few small correction/additions here and there as usual.

Survey Contest now closed but still feel free to complete
the survey...will get the prize thing done soon.
Completely removed any frames options...no real need to support it really.
Changes for 20 September 1997
Created a small section for BATTLESPIRE. Doesn't
have much at the moment just some information/screenshots. Hopefully will get
something on Redguard going too.
Added some new Daggerfall links on the Links Page. Will
hopefully get some Battlespire links up soon.

Changes for 9 May 1997
Sorry for the delay in this update, but I've been very busy lately and problems at the Honesty
site have prevented the update for some time.
So many returned surveys have commented on the annoyence of frames that I've removed them.
The framed pages are still available for any who still want them. Feel free to bug me if
this ruins your life.
You can now visit the new Configurable Links Page which allows
one to sort and display the sites the way you like.
Finally, a new DFQEdit version has been released. Check for it on the DF Files Area.
Is now less buggier/crashy (hopefully), a few new features to make life easier and you can now edit
some of the QBN fields such as items and NPC's. Is a step closer to a complete quest editor.
Created the DF Hack Page which contains links to everything
related to file formats and hacking files etc... If I'm missing anything let me know.
Moved some of the file hacks on the cheats page to this one.
Good guide to hex editting items created on the DF Hack page.

Finally got the fire and ice atronach's pictures up in the DF Monster Bestairy.
Only missing the centaur and nymph at the moment.

temples/knightly guilds in later patch versions. Also two new cheat keys for DF.
Changes for 15 April 1997
New information on the next Elder Scrolls game Redguard. Check it out
on the Chapter 3 + Beyond Page.
Several pages in the Quest Walkthrough were updated
in an on-going process to give detailed walkthroughs.
Changes for 10 April 1997
Created the ESP Mailing List for notifying users about updates
to these pages as well as official Elder Scrolls game information. Join today.
Survey Page now operational...don't forget to fill it out.
Bound soul stats on the DF Items Page are
now almost complete.
New large section on DF Items Page listing
enchantment points of items. Is almost 100% complete.
Finally, a Main Quest Walkthrough in the DF hints
section. I've combined the quest solutions from several sites and my own experience. It
should contain everything (and more!) you might need to easily complete the main quest.
By using the sites error logs and the nifty tool HTML PowerTools for Windows
(download freely for 30 days!) I've corrected close 700 various HTML errors and omissions (no, I'm
not joking). Every file on this site was updated in the process. There should be now absolutely
no missing images, or broken internal links (external links may still be faulty unfortunately).
Also, all images have been added the WIDTH, HEIGHT, and ALT tags to make page loading faster and
more convienient for those with slow links (or who chose not to load images, like me). The only
HTML tags which don't fit the HTML 3.2 spec are the BORDER elements for the frames and the TARGET
element in the link tag. Since the BORDER elements are merely for asthetic purposes that doesn't
really matter. The TARGET elements are for making sure the right page gets loaded in the right window
and since I offer non-frames pages, this doesn't make much of a difference either. Still, if your
browser doesn't like displaying my site, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Beginning to reorder the link lists in some pages by date, such as the hints and the cheats
DF pages. Hopefully this will make it a little easier to find the latest up-to-date infomartion.
New vampire and Werewolf save games on the DF Save Games
page (both saved with the latest, v2.13, patch). Looking for a wereboar save game now.
Added a small list of magical item locations on the Store and Item
Location Page. Also added a few new stores to the stores list.
Slightly new DagPic v0.30 on the DF File Area. A few new
features such as the ability to view most TEXTURE files.
Changes for 4 April 1997
A bunch of new sites added to the Links Page. There are now over 70!!!Elder Scrolls and related sites listed.
Deleted a bunch of old additions on this page, creating the new
Old 'What's New' Page. This is to reduce the
size of this page for faster loading times.
Reorganized the Daggerfall File Area. Hopefully, it is now just
a little easier to find what you want.
Latest FIXSAVE file utility finally added to the Daggerfall Files Area.
Also uploaded the old patches v1.77 and v1.79 for any interested.
Minor version update to the Daggerfall Quest Editor, now named DFQEdit due to a trademark
violation. If you see any sites with the old name please inform me/them about this change.
The editor can be found in the Daggerfall Files Area.
Even more broken links and missing images errors fixed.
Changes For 30 March 1997
Changed sites yet again, this time to www.m0use.net.
This site should be much more permanent and be up until at least the end of the summer, if
not much longer.
Am slowly working on correcting as many missing/broken links as possible, given that I have access to
some of my sites error log (very handy).
I lost my review of ARENA so I replaced it with a link to the review on the Games Domain.
This can be found on the ESP: Arena Page.
One new ARENA site on the Links Page (new addition, but an old site).
The search utility is finally working...or soon will be. Created the Search Page with
information on the utility and added another question to the ESP Site FAQ.
There will be an information update soon, like in the coming week, and more
neat stuff like the ESP Survey, new ESP Update mailing list, and Chat Room so stay tuned.
New Daggerfall Patch v2.12 and new Fixsave Utility updated in the DF File Area.
Changes For 7 March 1997
Terribly sorry for the down-time, but the Newforce UNIX site was hacked and several accounts were
destroyed. On the up-hand, it gave me a good excuse to do some major re-organization which I've been
planning for a while.
Reorganized the directory structure of the web site again. This means that some of your bookmarks
might no longer work but it will make it much easier for me in the future. Every HTML document
was modified to reflect this.
Started redoing some of the graphics making them smaller and better in places. I've already decreased
the size of all images in the web site by around 25%. The images on the main pages I've reduced as much
as possible to around 50% of their original size.
Once the site gets CGI in place I can offer a search ultility, counters, forms etc... including a
survey which you can WIN!!! Stay tuned in the near future.
Made a few small changes/corrections here and there to make everything look and work better.
Added the ESP Survey Page. Complete the survey and get a chance to
win a fabulous Elder Scrolls prize.
Several new sites in the Links Page bringing the total to more that 50!
Also reorganized the links section sorting by site content and labelled several of the best sites
to visit.
Just a 'few' more Chapter 3 Suggestions. I finally seperated the main suggestion
sections into different documents as it was getting to large to edit effectively (I can only hit page-up and
page-down so many times...:)
Another review site added to the Daggerfall Review Page. Also
fixed a few TARGET linking errors.
Finally a link to the newest Patch in the Files Area with the
text file of what the patch fixes. Several new files added as well.
Created links section in the Quest Hacking Guide to the new
quest hacking site on DaggerWeb.
Changed a few things on the DagPic Information Page. Netscape seems to have
trouble downloading PCX's so I changed them all to ZIP's and added file sizes. Also added link to another
DagPic information site.
Changes For 3 January 1997 - Happy New Year!
Stopped using 'Added' in front of each line
Many new suggestions to the Chapter 3 Suggestions Page.
Also added a table of contents to top of suggestion page to make catagories more accessible.
A cheat on the Cheat's Page on doubling the max view distance.
Updated cheat on making levels fast.
New DF review on the DF Review Page as well as one corrected review link
and one new one.
Several new locations of witch covens on Coven Page. Also
tidied up the page and organized it a little better.
Corrected/updated the repuation title list seen in the DF Info screen. Guilds Page
Finally some new information on the Chapter 3 Info Page. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
More general info on creating magic items in The Items Page
Added the DagPic Images Page which contains dagpic and several modified
images. I need more, so feel free to contribute.
Added several new files to the Files Area. Added dates to files.
Added dates to all links so that finding new information is much quicker. Didn't know the
exact dates for many items so they will be approximate. Will start adding dates to new
items from now on.
Added a selling items for money hint on the Items Page.
Added the Quest Hacking Guide. Is still very much new,
not too accurate and very incomplete, but a good start. Look for a soon to be
released quest editor soon (sorry...I'm not setting any release date...;)
Updated the Store Locations/Description page to include
a description of each of the 5 store qualities (from the TEXT.RSC file).
Updated Holidays page, adding one missing holiday description.
Changes For 16 November 1996
Added the 'What's New' page which you're looking at
Rearranged the directory structure. Is now a bit more organized which makes
updates a bit easier and saves disk space as all the main images are contained
in a single directory instead of each directory.
Updated the DAGGERFALL FAQ slightly mostly giving links to the ESP pages for
more updated information.
Slightly modified the hints/cheats list to make them a bit more readable and better looking...hopefully.
Fixed a big bug on the main page which caused the main page frame to be
carried over onto the Daggerfall pages. Oops!
Hacked ther TEXT.RSC to get artifact descriptions and created the
ARTIFACT list (23 listed) and
a getting a picture of each (using the BIOG edit cheat)
Redesigned the ESP logo. Is smaller and has quick links surrounding it.
Updated the Links section adding one more site
updating existing ones, and adding reviews.

as the screen can get cramped in 640x480 mode with frames (I checked)
Added some graphics on the main ES page
Started updating each pages' description in a story like setting. Hope you like it.
Add the
Potion Recipe page, a listing of
potions and ingrediants needed for the potion maker found in most temples.
Another major update on the Daggerfall Holiday page.
I once again hacked into the TEXT.RSC file and extracted the descriptions of all the
holidays! I added them to this page. Also did a few minor updates here.
