Blades:First Time Players

This is a list of tips and tricks for first time players to The Elder Scrolls: Blades, to make your adventure a little bit easier.
Tips
Basic Tips
You can play Blades in both portrait (vertical) mode and landscape (horizontal) mode.
If you decide to play in horizontal mode, you can either use "tap-to-move mode" or a virtual joystick.
Some devices will only allow you to utilise "tap-to-move mode" in vertical mode.
You should try out both versions to see what you prefer. There are settings to configure this as well.
All stats found in-game (such as damage and armor) are shown rounded up. This means that sometimes stats do not seem to add up correctly if looking at just the numbers seen in the game. The wiki articles show the real decimal numbers that are used.
To unlock the Abyss, talk to Theodor Gorlash.
To change your appearance, talk to Theodor Gorlash.
While you can change your appearance, you cannot rename yourself, so choose your name wisely!
Each race has bonuses for different skills.
Chests come in 5 different rarities:  ,  ,  ,  , and  .
Make sure to always open your Chests.
Repair your equipment.
Keep an eye on your surroundings for items that light up to find Food and hidden Secrets.

Town Tips
To construct something, approach a lot and expend the required materials.
Organize your Town and keep all of the services in near the main gate, where you are placed after completing most quests.
Building new buildings in your town will increase your Town Level, allowing you to build new buildings and upgrade others.
Building more variations of a building you already have will cost more.
Houses, Dwellings, and Homesteads all cost the same to construct.

Combat Tips
Swarming enemies like Skeevers and Wolves keep their distance and attack in groups, making them more frustrating to kill. Be patient and attack when they do.
Avoid attacking wildly.
High Block whenever possible, and normal block when impossible.
Being attacked while casting a some spell will cause the spell to fail, so you should start casting spell after the enemy attacks or is stunned.
Switch out your weapons and spells in battle to exploit your enemy's Weaknesses.

Useful Skills

Online:The Stricken

The Stricken are Khajiit who were infected with the Knahaten Flu but survived. Their bodies were ravaged by the disease, and they were cast out of Khajiiti society. After being forced into the wilderness, they have become half-mad with the desire for revenge. 

When the outbreak began, Khajiit came to S'rendarr's Cradle in small numbers. The adepts tried their best to help everyone, but many died. Rumors spread that healing could be found within S'rendarr's Cradle, and the afflicted came by the dozens. Fear and hatred of those infected with the Flu was rampant, and many citizens believed that keeping all the sick people in such close quarters created a breeding ground for the disease. Despite these concerns, the adepts of S'rendarr's Cradle tried their best to accommodate everyone and keep the quarters clean. 

All was going as well as it could until Sutabi, vizier to King Hemakar, arrived at S'rendarr's Cradle with a host of war-cats. Sutabi threatened to raze the adeptorium to contain the infection. If S'rendarr's Cradle continued to harbor Flu victims, the adeptorium would burn. Thus, the sick were led to Baan Dar's Litter by the adepts and left to die. Those who survived their affliction became known as the Stricken, and they thirst for revenge against the adepts who abandoned them.

Lore:Valley of the Wind

Valley of the Wind is a dried-out foyada found on the northeast coast of Vvardenfell in the province of Morrowind. It is a long, winding valley that curves upward into a j-shape toward the end. It is completely uninhabited and out of the way from the nearest settlements, such as Vos to the east and Dagon Fel to the north across the water. It is avoided by the local populace because they claim that "the winds howl, and the spirits are always awake."   
 
Geography
The Valley of the Wind lies on the northeastern slopes of Red Mountain, adjacent to another valley to the west called the  , which contains no water as the name suggests, but it works well as a safe haven from the harsh winds. The valley's entrance is marked by Airan's Teeth, two large stone spikes named after the   blessed by  .

Lore:Huntsman

Huntsmen are a humanoid Daedric race primarily associated with the   of Hunt, Hircine.  They were also found in the service of Demiprince Fa-Nuit-Hen.  Huntsmen are known to be highly intelligent beings, and make capable hunters, warriors and mages.   

Those mysterious humanoid servants of Hircine from the Hunting Grounds were described as "spear-shakers, fewterers, and whippers-in of the Lord of the Hunting Grounds". The appearance of Huntsmen was believed to evoke Hircine's Aspects. Mortal followers of Hircine honored him by emulating Huntsmen apparel.   They are following Hircine and pursue great beasts, people, and even their own kind. 

Huntsmen resemble Men and Mer but instead of mortal hearts they have daedric hearts.   They are also typically seen wearing masks resembling bird's faces.   These daedra make references to wearing the skin of their mortal prey to live as them on Nirn, which they will make their hunting grounds.  At least some of the Huntsmen can turn into a werebeast.  Although little is known of their hierarchy there are four known groups among them: Davlinn,  Duneir,  Gamir  and Mar-Gamir. 

Huntsmen weapons are often adorned with antlers. Axes evoke Uricanbeg the Stag aspect of Hircine. Their iconic bows are composite of wood, horn, antler, and hide and honor Storihbeg, the Wolf Aspect of Hircine. Their single-edged daggers pay homage to Gulibeg the Quick Fox and maces represent Hrokkibeg the Mighty Bear. Staves used by Huntsmen, similarly to the axes represent the Stag aspect and are designed to amplify both Destruction and Restoration magic. Destruction spells are cast from the front end and Restoration are cast from the hind. 

Huntsmen in general favor relatively light armor choices for agility and swiftness but their pauldrons are sturdy. Their boots are based on the boots worn by Hircine in his Alrabeg the Hunter aspect.  They wear the skins of their kills as their armor

History
Circa  , during the Planemeld, the Seductive Sisters were considered the most deadly Mazken in Molag Bal's service  and served as generals to his invading forces.

The forces of Order invaded Pinnacle Rock to cripple the realm's army, and Dylora was taken prisoner.  She was freed by Sheogorath's Champion and aided in the liberation of the stronghold.

Information regarding how Shadowkey's interface spritesheet file format (.spr) works can be found at Shadowkey Spritesheet Format.

 
File Formats

The following is a list of File Formats in Shadowkey:

Script/Configuration File Formats
 
 
General Data Formats
TesOtherMod:Shadowkey File Formats/Shadowkey Spritesheet Format

This is a description of the Global.SPR file as found in the Shadowkey data.

Basic File Structure
Basic structure of the file is:

     [ Header 0x600 bytes ]
     [ Image 1 ]
     [ Image 2 ]
     [   ...   ]

There are no left over bytes at the end of the file. All file data is Little Endian.


Header
The header is just a 0x600 byte block containing a list of 384 dwords which are the image sizes in bytes contained in the file:

     dword ImageSize[384] 

The offset for a particular file can be calculated by adding up the sizes of all images prior to the desired image and adding 0x600. An image size of 0 indicates that no data for the image exists in the file and it should be ignored. Only 253 of the 384 image slots have a non-zero image size.


Image Format
The basic image format is as follows:

     dword Width    // Pixels
     dword Height   // Pixels
     byte RawPalette[0x200]
     byte ImageData[]

Note the only way to determine the total size of the image data is to use the image size obtained in the file header and subtract the 0x204 bytes of image header data.


Palette Format
The raw palette is stored in 512 bytes (0x200) in each image header in a semi-compressed format. To get the 32-bit color for a specific palette index use the following conversion:

    byte RawPal[512]
    byte r = ((RawPal[index*2 + 1] & 0x0f)  > 4) + (RawPal[index*2 + 0] & 0xf0)
    byte b = ((RawPal[index*2 + 0] & 0x0f) << 4) + (RawPal[index*2 + 0] & 0x0f)


Image Data Format
The image data is encoded line by line from the bottom of the image to the top (opposite the usual direction) in the following format:

    dword Size1
    dword Size2
    byte Pixels[Size2 - Size1]

The pixel data contains palette indices starting at X coordinate of Size1 on the line (prior pixels are transparent). Also, any pixels not specified on the line after the pixel data is assumed to be transparent as well. A color value of FF00FF (violet) represents a transparent pixel within the pixel data (the exact pixel index for a transparent pixel changes from image to image).

Note that if (Size2 - Size1) is 0 or negative then no image pixel data follows (typically FF FF FF FF represents a blank transparent line).
