Frenfall

Install

Frenfall needs Daggerfall Unity 1.1.1 with the Daggerfall game files, the Frenfall mod, and 42 mods from Nexus in the versions the server takes. The server checks your mods, their versions, their load order and their settings when you log in.

Step by step

  1. Daggerfall Unity. Install Daggerfall Unity 1.1.1 and point it at the Daggerfall game files, as its own setup asks.
  2. The required mods. Extract the required mods zip straight into DaggerfallUnity_Data/StreamingAssets. It holds a Mods folder with every required mod and a FlatReplacements folder for Lively Cities. To fetch the mods from Nexus yourself instead, use the list below.
  3. Frenfall. Put dfmp.dfmod in DaggerfallUnity_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods, replacing any older copy.
  4. Enable the mods. Start Daggerfall Unity, open Mods on the launcher screen and make sure every mod is enabled, Frenfall included. It shows there as DFMP Co-op.
  5. Log in. At the title screen, enter an account name and a password. A new name creates an account; keep the password, it is the only way into your characters. Frenfall finds the server by itself.
  6. Restart once. On your first login Frenfall puts your mods in the server's load order and sets their options to the server's, then asks you to restart Daggerfall Unity. After the restart you are in.
  7. Your character. Pick one of your characters or start a new one. Character names are unique on the server, and Delete a character in the list removes one.

Keeping up to date

Always play with the newest Frenfall. When a new version comes out, download it and replace dfmp.dfmod; the server turns away versions older than 0.9.74 and tells you why. The required mods change less often; when they do, the server names the mod that is missing or out of date, and the zip here always holds the current set.

What you can change

The required mods

Already in the zip. Listed here for anyone who prefers to fetch them from Nexus, in load order from top to bottom.

All 42 mods

Each mod's .dfmod files go in DaggerfallUnity_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods. If your load order is off when you log in, Frenfall puts your mods in the server's order itself and asks you to restart once.
