Enchantment codes are now on their own page.
So are Clothing codes.
And now I have picture files for use with ANDYPIC.
Daggerfall Hex-Cheats
Note: The following cheats are done with a hex editor, for example XVI32. All the codes change existing armour and weapons, but I'm not sure what you need to do to "create" those things in the hex code. You can always edit the Biogxx.txt files. This is a work in progress. Hopefully I'll have a lot more information over the next few months.
Second Note: The numbers I use to count from the begining of a word are in hex-decimal. The editor I use shows the number of bytes highlited in hex, so that's how I count them. So the "33rd" byte is not literally 33 bytes over, but actually the 51st (I think..., 1-9, A-F...yeah.).
Note Drei: If you are scared by all the numbers and letters, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of DaggeD. You can use it to do most of what I talk about.
Armour Codes
The picture code comes in the 33rd byte from the start of the object's name and follows the pattern:
Argonian/Human Armour
| Part | Leather | Plate | Elaborate Plate | Chain | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boots | 80 | 81 | 82 | ||||
| Cuirass | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 | ||
| Gauntlets | 88 | 89 | |||||
| Greaves | 8A | 8B | 8C | 8D | 8E | 8F | 90 |
| Left Pauldron | 91 | 92 | 93 | 94 | |||
| Right Pauldron | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | |||
| Helmet | 9A | 9B | 9C | 9D | 9E | 9F | A0 |
| Shield | A1 (Buckler) | A2 (Round) | A3 (Kite) | A4 (Tower) |
Elven/Khajiit Armour
| Part | Leather | Plate | Elaborate Plate | Chain | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boots | 00 | 01 | 02 | ||||
| Cuirass | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | ||
| Gauntlets | 08 | 09 | |||||
| Greaves | 0A | 0B | 0C | 0D | 0E | 0F | 10 |
| Left Pauldron | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | ||
| Right Pauldron | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 1A | ||
| Helmet | 1B | 1C | 1D | 1E | 1F | 20 | |
| Shield | 21 (Buckler) | 22 (Round) | 23 (Kite) | 24 (Tower) |
| Type | Byte 34 |
|---|---|
| Weapons & Female Argonian Clothes | 75 |
| Female Elven/Human Clothes | 76 |
| Female Khajiit/ Male Argonian Clothes | 77 |
| Male Elven/Human Clothes | 78 |
| Male Khajiit Clothes | 79 |
| Female Argonian Armor | 7A |
| Female Elven/Human Armor | 7B |
| Female Khajiit/ Male Argonian Armor | 7C |
| Male Elven/Human Armor | 7D |
| Male Khajiit Armor | 7E |
| Artifacts | D8 |
Here is an example of code for a pair of female Dark Elf elaborate plate gauntlets:
Weapons
| Weapon | Left Hand | Right Hand |
|---|---|---|
| Axe | 00 | 01 |
| Broadsword | 02 | 03 |
| Claymore | 04 | |
| Dagger | 05 | 06 |
| Dai-katana | 07 | |
| Flail | 08 | |
| Katana | 09 | 0A |
| Long Bow | 0B | |
| Longsword | 0C | 0D |
| Mace | 0E | 0F |
| Short Bow | 10 | |
| Saber | 11 | 12 |
| Shortsword | 13 | 14 |
| Staff | 15 | |
| Tanto | 16 | 17 |
| War axe | 18 | |
| Warhammer | 19 | |
| Wakazashi | 1A | 1B |
Material Codes
The Material code comes in the second and third blocks after the Style code (bytes 37 & 39) and follows the pattern:
yy is 00 for Leather, 01 for Chainmail, or 02 for Plate.
zz is the weight. 00 is "weightless".
Materials
| YY | Armour Class (Material) |
ZZ | Color (Material) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | +2(Iron) | 10 | Dull Grey (Iron) |
| 01 | +3 (Steel) | 11 | Grey (Steel) |
| 02 | +3 (Silver) | 12 | Silver (Silver) |
| 03 | +4 (Elven) | 13 | Silver (Elven) |
| 04 | +5 (Dwarven) | 14 | Gold (Dwarven) |
| 05 | +6 (Mithril) | 15 | Blue (Mithril) |
| 06 | +6 (Adamantium) | 16 | Flat Black (Adamantium) |
| 07 | +7 (Ebony) | 17 | Grey Black (Ebony) |
| 08 | +8 (Orcish) | 18 | Green (Orcish) |
| 09 | +9 (Daedric) | 19 | Red (Daedric) |
So the code for a pair of female Dark Elf Daedric elaborate plate gauntlets colored green is:
If you change the 34th byte to the value that corrisponds with the type of picture you want, the program will read it and allow you to have a daedric brassiere "cuirass". You don't have to sacrifice fashion for protection.
To take a look at coding for clothing, go here.
The Rundown
So here is a run down of what I know about certain bytes:
The 21st byte controls general catagories of items and what rules your item will follow
armour=02
weapons=03
male clothes=06
female clothes=0C
gems=0E
Torc/Amulet/Bracelet/Bracer=19
The 23rd byte controls more specific positions in those catagories (does your item take up the chest slot or foot slot, or the torc slot?).
cuirass (chest)=00
gauntlets (hands)=01
greaves (legs)=02
l.pauldron (left shoulder/arm)=03
r.pauldron (right shoulder/arm)=04
helm (head)=05
boots (feet)=06
claymore (weapon)=09
khajiit suit=0F
diamond=03
bracer=01
ring=02
bracelet=03
mark=04
torc=05
Straps=00
Short shirt=18
What about the 25th?
The 2Dth to 30th bytes control "hits". 2D and 2E make up the current hits, while 2F and 30 make up the total hits. When they both match, the item is "new". FF7FFF7F is the maximum.
The 33rd byte controls the picture of that particular item, whether it is a short shirt or a chain cuirass.
The 34th byte tells the program whether the picture is supposed to be male or female armour, a weapon, different clothes, etc...
The 35th & 36th bytes-I'm still trying to figure out exactly what the these bytes mean to the program. 35 seems to involve specific types, while 36 describes the major groups the object is in. It probably deals with what coloring scheme to use for the object (Armor or clothing?).
Boots-0166
Weapons-
Longblades & Wakazashi-8267
Dagger-8567
Flail-8667
Staff-8767
Short bow-8867
Shields-8967
Cuirass-8B67
Helmet-8C67
Other Armor-8D67
Arrow-9067
Books-8268
Warhammer-036B
The 37th byte controls the armour/weapon material (Iron to Daedric) and therefor the to hit/defend bonus (+1-+9)
The 38th byte controls the armour type (leather, chain, or plate). Higher values change the armor class to ridiculus names and numbers.
00-leather 01-chain 02-plate 03-cloth...
The 39th byte controls the color. There are different codes for armour/weapons and clothes.
The 3Ath byte is the weight. Putting 00 there makes the weight zero. Or you could just adjust it for any other reason, like you feal Daedric should be slightly lighter than Ebony.
3Eth & 3Fth bytes are the enchantment points.
The 43rd byte controls which items appear over others when you wear them (cuirass over shirts and straps).
Enchantment codes start at the 44th byte and continue onward.
You can also look at Enchantment codes.
Any and all additions would be welcomed. If you have any codeing information that I don't have on the page, email me and I'll put it up. Or if you already have a website with the info, email me the address and I'll link you to my page.
Great information.

Pick up ANDYPIC so you can edit faces, bodies, and other pictures.
Pick up a copy of DaggeD. This will let you do most of the stuff I talk about without hex-editing.
