📋 About This Mod

WHAT THIS MOD DOES AND WHY:

  • []So the vanilla footstep sound effects are actually pretty good, in my opinion. The main issue is they don't change much at all based on the various environments and equipment you can wear. Pretty much the only variants vanilla Daggerfall has is, Snow, Shallow Water, Deep Water, and Everything else. Kinda limited considering how many different types of ground tiles exist in the game.

    []This mod intends to fix this by adding more footstep sounds, more variants of each sound, have the types of sound changed based on the terrain being walked on, as well as the types of equipment being worn. So depending on the terrain type being walked on, going barefoot, wearing leather boots, chainmail boots, or plate boots will all have unique footstep sounds.

    []Additionally, having different types of armor equipped will also be accompanied by their own variety of sounds, to simulate the armor ruffling and swaying around as you move. So chainmail armor will jangle a bit, plate will clank about, and leather will make a subtle shuffling sound.

    []Better yet, these features are highly adjustable using the mod-settings, you can disable the footsteps and armor swaying sounds, change the frequency either occur, and of course adjust the volume levels of either feature.

    []You can even swap between "high quality" and "low quality" versions of the sounds, for a more "retro" feel using low quality or a more "crisp" and "modern" feel using high quality.

    []Now go and frolic through the mud, snow, and sand like a carefree nymph!
