Daggerfall Mod:DFRemake/Definitions

3d Object

Small Daggerfall object models stored in Arch3d.bsa. Typical objects include houses, a piece of a dungeon (hallway, room) or smaller construction pieces.

Block

A collection of Daggerfall 3d objects that builds part of a dungeon or town. Block data is stored in Blocks.bsa in the form of RDB files (dungeon) and RMB (town and other exterior pieces).

DFELibrary

The DLL, written in Visual C++ v6, which adds Daggerfall related commands to DarkBasic.

Flat
