Hello

first off , my name's Thomas , and im a total noob when it comes to modding , I made my first 4 mods a day ago , and those were just adding items to an inventory

now , for my question/problem

I would like to learn more about making my own classes and spells , but I don't know where to start , scripting is ... troublesome for me , and I don't know how to convert .xls files to .GDA files
so can someone help ?


thx

Hi Thomas,

you should begin with a new spell - but beware, most spells are not that easy and you´ll need a little experience in scripting / c++.
I would recommand this tutorial:
http://social.biowar..._Spell_Tutorial
Quite clear and good written. Helped me a lot to understand the spell-mechanics.

The xls-gda-converter is called ExcelProcessor.exe and could be found somewhere in the DragonAge/tools -Directory - use the search-function

For a new class you could use this:
http://social.biowar..._Class_Tutorial

But I wouldnt start with that one.

thx for the help

starting with the spell first

and I found the converter , although its pretty hard to use , always gotta run DOS and do it that way ... but hey , it works

and about that scripting knowledge ... ive got none any help on this would be very much appreciated

run DOS???

You could just drop the file on the processor and it would be converted automatically.
