In version 3 I updated unpk.py to support files with offset and tweaked its output to be a little bit more obvious. Also, decided to not patch FALL.EXE with dos32a extender, but do it live at each run (it should be easier to make mods that modify FALL.EXE)

I posted new version, some changes include: - the game is patched to use dos32a extender instead of dos4gw. It is reported to greatly reduce corrupted save game situations and improve overall stability - better launch script, now checks for conflicting options - to be sure that license is read and accepted, on first run there is license text displayed and user is requested to say yes to license. If you know the license text, you can also issue "daggerfall --accept" command to skip the dialog - I added information about mouse grab and fullscreen to install information - oh, and sorry for version number change, I changed it to reflect the version reported by fall.exe itself. Next versions will hopefully have: - daggerfall --help to display launcher usage - daggerfall --gamma to setup gamma - daggerfall --backup to backup save games - daggerfall --enable/--disable to enable/disable mods (to come) There will also be (one or multiple) mods packages that you will be able to enable/disable with daggerfall launcher.

@diegoxter: What you need to do is the mouse grab - for example ctrl+F10 moves mouse into window. The mouse is also grabbed when you go fullscreen (alt+enter). Check http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Special_Keys for dosbox keys and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Running_Under_DOSBox for information about how to tune/troubleshoot your Daggerfall installation. The mouse isn't grabbed by default intentionally - if something goes wrong (like dosbox unresponsive) it's easier to close/kill the window when the mouse is outside. You can make it automatically grabbed to window later, when you are sure it works.

This is the latest and probably last version of "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall". It uses official and free "15 years of TES anniversary" release. This package includes all files ever released by Bethesda - First of all there is release of Daggerfall equal to released CD version, there is CompUSA edition quest pack, official patch that moves the game to version 2.13 and save fixing package update for critical situations. There is also launcher "daggerfall" that allows you to easily run the game, sound configuration or fix utilities (fixmaps & fixsave if something gets corrupted) - and remember to read and accept the license and tweak your dosbox.conf (by default I did not enabled fullscreen just in case something does not work, that way it is easier to fix/tweak your setup). There is very experimental part in this, unpk.py - python script to unpack PKWare archives - I tested it only on 64 bit system, so if you use 32 bit OS proceed with caution! Also sorry for bsdiff makedepend - this was best way I fund to fix the maps automatically on install and without user interaction. The package is in community and very small without other dependencies, so it shouldn't be too much pain. Soon there will be another package with all unofficial addons packaged that will require this one. It will be possible to install it any time, but you will have to start new game to benefit from added/fixed quests and other stuff. Stay tuned! And of course, I'd be happy to hear if this works on 32 bits without problems :)
